Official lyrics from album sleeve: Graceless Is there a powder to erase this? Is it dissolvable and tasteless? You can't imagine how I hate this Graceless I'm trying, but I'm graceless Don't have the sunny side to face this I am invisible and weightless You can't imagine how I hate this Graceless I'm trying, but I'm gone Through the glass again Just come and find me God loves everybody, don't remind me I took the medicine and I went missing Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen Graceless I figured out how to be faithless But it will be a shame to waste this You can't imagine how I hate this Graceless I'm trying, but I'm gone Through the glass again Just come and find me God loves everybody, don't remind me I took the medicine and I went missing Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen All of my thoughts of you Bullets through rotten fruit Come apart at the seams Now I know what dying means I am not my rosy self Left my roses on my shelf Take the white ones, they're my favorites It's the side effects that save us Grace Put the flowers you find in a vase If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste Grace There's a science to walking through windows There's a science to walking through windows There's a science to walking through windows There's a science to walking through windows without you All of my thoughts of you Bullets through rotten fruit Come apart at the seams Now I know what dying means I am not my rosy self Left my roses on my shelf Take the white ones, they're my favorites It's the side effects that save us Grace |

Official lyrics from album sleeve: Oh, when I lift you up You feel like a hundred times yourself I wish everybody knew What's so great about you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You don't think before you jump And I said I wouldn't get sucked in This is the last time Oh, don't tell anyone I'm here I got Tylenol and beer I was thinking that you'd call somebody Closer to you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You're the only thing I want And I said I wouldn't cry about it This is the last time This is the last time We were so under the brine We were so vacant and kind We were so under the brine We were so vacant We were so under the brine We were so out of our minds We were so under the brine We were so vacant Oh, when I lift you up You feel like a hundred times yourself I wish everybody knew What's so great about you Oh, but your love is such a swamp You don't think before you jump And I said I wouldn't get sucked in I won't be vacant anymore I won't be waiting anymore I won't be vacant anymore I won't be waiting anymore Jenny, I am in trouble Can't get these thoughts out of me Jenny, I'm seeing double I know this changes everything It takes a lot of pain to pick me up It takes a lot of rain in the cup Baby you gave me bad ideas Baby you left me sad and high |

Official lyrics from album sleeve: Oh, you say you love me Joe How am I supposed to know? When you go under the waves, what am I supposed to say? I see people on the floor They' slide into the sea Can't stay here anymore We're turning into fiends If I stay here trouble will find me If I stay here I'll never leave If I stay here trouble will find me I believe Joe, I'll always think of you as the kind of child who knew this was never gonna last Joe, you fell so fast Hey Joe, sorry I hurt you, but they say love is a virtue don't they?

| The National – Fireproof Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Official lyrics from album sleeve: You keep a lot of secrets and I keep none. Wish I could go back and keep some. You're fireproof. Nothing breaks your heart. You're fireproof. It’s just the way you are. You tell me you’re waiting to find someone who isn’t so hopeless. There’s no one. You’re fireproof. Nothing breaks your heart. You’re fireproof. How’d you get so far? You're a needle in the hay. You're the water at the door. You’re a million miles away. It doesn’t matter anymore. Jennifer, you are not the only reason my head is boiling and my hands are freezing. Jennifer, you are not the only one to sit awake until the wild feelings leave you. You're fireproof. Nothing breaks your heart You're fireproof. It’s just the way you are. You’re fireproof. It’s what you always say. You’re fireproof. Wish I was that way. |

| The National – Don't Swallow the Cap Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Official lyrics from album sleeve: Gold light breaks behind the houses, I don't see what's strange about this. Tiny bubbles hang above me. It's a sign that someone loves me. I can hardly stand up right. I hit my head up on the light. I have faith but don't believe it. It's not there enough to leave it. Everything I love is on the table. Everything I love is out to sea. I have only two emotions, careful fear and dead devotion. I can't get the balance right, with all my marbles in the fight. I see all the ones I went for, all the things I had it in for. I won't cry until I hear, because I was not supposed to be here. Everything I love is on the table. Everything I love is out to sea. I'm not alone. I'll never be. And to the bone, I'm evergreen. I'm tired. I'm freezing. I'm dumb. When it gets so late I forget everyone. I need somewhere to stay. I don't think anybody I know is awake. Calm down, it's alright, keep my arms the rest of the night. When they ask what do I see, I say a bright white beautiful heaven hanging over me. I'm not alone. I'll never be. And to the bone, I'm evergreen. And if you want (dead seriously) to see me cry (don't swallow the cap), play Let It Be (pat yourself on the back) or Nevermind (dead seriously). Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about what I want to say to the girls at the door? I need somewhere to be, but I can't get around the river in front of me. Calm down, it's all right, leave my arms the rest of the night. When they ask what do I see, I say a bright white beautiful heaven hanging over me. I'm not alone (dead seriously). I'll never be (don't swallow the cap). And to the bone (pat yourself on the back), I'm evergreen (dead seriously). And if you want (dead seriously) to see me cry (don't swallow the cap), play Let It Be (pat yourself on the back) or Nevermind (dead seriously) |

| The National – Demons Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Official lyrics from album sleeve: When I think of you in the city, The sight of you among the sights, I get the sudden sinking feeling of a man about to fly. It never kept me up before, now I've been awake for days. I can't fight it anymore, I'm going through an awkward phase. I am secretly in love with everyone that I grew up with. I do my crying underwater, I can't get down any farther. All my drowning friends can see, now there is no running from it. It's become the crux of me, I wish that I could rise above it, but I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons. Bats and buzzards in the sky, alligators in the sewers. I don't even wonder why. I hide among the younger viewers. I huddle with them all night long, the worried talk to God goes on. I sincerely tried to love it. I wish that I could rise above it, but I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons. Can I stay here? I can sleep on the floor Paint the blood and hang the palms on the door. I do not think I'm going places anymore. I want to see the sun come up above New York. Every day I start so great and then the sunlight dims. The less I look, the more I see the pythons in the limbs. I do not know what's wrong with me, the sour is in the cut. When I walk into a room I do not light it up. Fuck. So I stay down with my demons. I stay down with my demons. |

| The National – I Should Live in Salt Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Official lyrics from album sleeve: Don't make me read your mind, you should know me better than that. It takes me too much time, you should know me better than that. You're not that much like me, you should know me better than that. We have different enemies, you should know me better than that. I should leave it alone but you're not right. I should leave it alone but you're not right. Can't you write it on the wall? You should know me better than that. There's no room to write it all, you should know me better than that. Can you turn the TV down? You should know me better than that. There's too much crying in the sound, I should know you better than that. I should leave it alone but you're not right. I should leave it alone but you're not right. I should live in salt for leaving you behind. Think about something so much, you should know me better than that. Start to slide outta touch, you should know me better than that. Tell yourself it's only noise. You should know me better than that. Learn to appreciate the void. You should know me better than that. I should live in salt for leaving you behind. |

| The National – Graceless Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Well, he talks about being "gone through the glass again" which I think is a reference to Alice Through the Looking Glass and a general metaphor for being lost. So the "science to walking through windows" part is just a continuation of that metaphor. | |
| The National – Graceless Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Pretty sure it's "All of my thoughts of you, bullets through rotten fruit" not "rock and through" | |

upon closer listening, i think i may have been mistaken. i think the correct lyrics are: venom radio and venom television i’m afraid of everyone lay the young blue bodies with the old red violets i’m afraid of everyone with my kid on my shoulders i try not to hurt anybody i like but i don’t have the drugs to sort it out i defend my family with my orange umbrella i’m afraid of everyone with my shiny new star-spangled tennis shoes on i’m afraid of everyone your voice is swallowing my soul |

| Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson – Buriedfed Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
It's I said "Aw shit man, I ain't even dead I won't be buried before I'M FED" Hence the title of the song. It just overlaps a bit with the next line so it's hard to hear. Also I think it's She said "Goddamn, I'm tired of being polite Go save somebody ELSE'S LIFE" and it overlaps with the next line a little too |

I don't know if anyone noticed, but there is a faint gunshot at exactly 7 seconds into the song. My theory is that this is the gunshot that comes right after the end of Count to Six and Die. |

| Dinu Lipattis was an early 20th century Romanian pianist. What that has to do with this song, I have no idea. | |

Actually, I think it's supposed to be "Please don't let me be pigeonholed in no regular job" To be pigeonholed means to be left aside and ignored |

| Wolf Parade – Grounds for Divorce Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Interview with Spencer Krug: SK"“Grounds for Divorce” is just about breaking up. The divorce is symbolic, it’s not a real divorce… Cokemachineglow.com: But the reasons – you have the line about the whale – sort of these “ridiculous” things, and then you split up for those reasons… SK: Well, it’s more like two people, one is like “glass is half full”, the other doesn’t think so. You’re with someone long enough and you think “oh, we might get married”, which is just a random thought you have when you’re with anyone; some days it looks like you will, and some days it looks like you won’t. So that’s where the divorce bit comes in, it’s not super deep, just playing with what’s already imaginary. That particular line, the whale thing, comes from this time when this person I was with was like “I fucking hate the sound of city buses screeching” and I said “Just pretend they’re giant whales, floating around the city, singing to each other” and she was like “That’s stupid.” I don’t really want to talk about lyrics any more. It makes me uncomfortable. ... Also, I think the line is "It's a show all on its own" not "It's assured all on its own" |

| Rage Against the Machine – Killing In The Name Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Ok, no offense, but everyone here is wrong. It is not "burn crosses" it is "bore crosses". The lyrics are "some of those that were forces are the same that bore crosses". The song is not about police brutality or the KKK or anything like that. It's about people killing in the name of god, or religion. It is saying that some of those that were forces (in the military) are the same that wear crosses (subscribe to Christianity), and how it's hypocritical for someone who claims to be a Christian to kill people. And when they die, their cross acts like a badge, proclaiming them to be the "chosen whites", and so the whole thing is considered justified. It's really pretty easy to figure out, too bad the site has the wrong lyrics. | |
| System of a Down – K.I.T.T. Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| It's funny because according the OFFICIAL SOAD ALBUM, this song is called "I-E-A-I-A-I-O". Gee, I wonder who's right? Idiots. | |
