Saturnine Lyrics

to the ages i am speaking
to creatures i am sky
bloody simple features
everyone chooses sides

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
saturnine

how i'd love to waste your time
saturnine, saturnine

goodbye all you widows
tearstained underneath
blessed to the many
who are seeking some relief

saturnine, how i'd love to waste your time
saturnine, saturnine
saturnine, you are waiting on a sign

camera take this picture
wreckage is outside
we're hereby forgotten
we are losing mind

we are inside
we are inside now
we are inside
we are inside
you've always cried
cause you'll never find

i believe there are two versions of this song, an adore era version, and a machina era version. i think they have different lyrics.

i really really love this song...it's almost like eye...it's beautiful in a strange sense...the lyrics to the second verse are wrong though...it's supposed to be "goodbye all you antidotes... tearstain on the name... glass into the vein while seeking some relief"

yeah, the version these lyrics are from is the earlier adore version. the version that is on the greatest hits cd has different lyrics, but they are the same song. and the song rules. anyways, that's what i think...

People how search answers in the future will never be happy.Camera take this picture(do we need a picture to remember?).You 'll always cried because you'll never have a real answer.There's no answer in this world.

actually a saturnine is a person who is meloncholic, sullen and bitter supposedly due to being born under the astrological influence of the planest saturn (check the dictionary)

I'm surprised this isn't noted as an 'alternate version' on Machina II - the original version is the Adore outtake that appears on judas O. (apparently what looks like an 'O' with a line thru it [as with the title of that album] is pronounced like the 'i' in 'bird'. Interesting, eh?)

I think that, since it is not noted as an alternate version this version should be referred to as 'Satur9', as it is, I believe, listed as that on some sites, whereas the Adore-era version is always spelled 'Saturnine'.

Oh, and it's one of my favourite tracks on Machina II. I'm not sure which version I prefer.
