Blindside lyrics
Album: About a Burning Fire [2004]
| Eye of the Storm | |
|
I think I've stayed for the last time, goodbye
Hope is so much closer to beauty than sorrow
I think I'll leave and leave self pity to die
Reflection is always brighter than shadow
Please come closer
Cause I don't even touch you anymore
Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more
Love is in the air tonight
So just breathe
You made sure the atmosphere was thick tonight
So this is where it begins and where it ends
With a crack in a dark sky piercing light
Please come closer
Cause my heart doesn't touch yours anymore
Please see I'm walking into the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more
Love is in the air tonight so just breathe
Breathe my spirit breathe
Love is in the air tonight so just breathe
Breathe my spirit breathe
leave, leave now and don't look back
leave, leave now and don't you look back
Please come closer
Cause I don't even touch you anymore
Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more
Please come closer
Cause my heart doesn't touch yours anymore
Please see I'm walking in to the eye of the storm
And I'll still come out loving you even more

| Follow You Down | |
|
It's the smallest things
That have a tendency to hurt for the longest time
It's like you found a way inside
But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound
(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)
And fall in love with the sound of silence
I'm armed but the gun is not loaded
I guess I could find my way out of this
But it's like you found a way inside
And I hate that I suspect you're right
But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound
(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)
And fall in love with the sound of silence
Silence is golden
but golden teeth are so much sharper
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
It's not easy but I'm biting my tongue off
Even though you're right
Your words lie
Even though you're right
Your words lie
But this time I'm not going to follow you down
I'll fall in love with the sound
(I'm not going to follow you down)
So push me back and I'll stay the same
(I'm not going to follow you down)
And fall in love with the sound of silence

| All of Us | |
|
As soon as you stepped through my door,
I saw You for the first time all over again.
And time well spent seems
Lonelier than the way it used to go.
As I smell you for the first time all over again
I'll begin to remember to be alive
So if you don't mind
I think I'll wear my heart on my sleeve,
'Cause I'm tired of not being able to breathe.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
I've felt a loss for some time
I slipped, stumbled, but fell face first
straight into your hand.
Then I hit my head on your palm
And waking up to the smell
Of tears drying up in the sand
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
All of us are searching for an open arm.
Well, it's a shame how I curl up in the dark
When it's the same old word giving me the spark.
I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I washed my wounds with tears of hope.
I just ...
All of us are searching for an open arm
Well, it's a shame how I pull myself apart.
When it's the same words making me run for cover to
your heart.
(All of us are searching for an open arm)
When it's the same words making me run for cover to
your heart.
(All of us are searching for an open arm)
(All of us are searching for an open arm)

Vattnet svart
Som manen full
Att jag ar naken och ny
Water black
As the moon is full
Warm nightbreeze whispers
I'm naked and new
I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one
Sixteen years old
I dare to swim further out
I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one
Som om man kunde
Vidrora lycka
Jag virar den runt mig
Som en filt
Det ar bara Du, jag och manen
Like joy was something you could touch
I wrap it around me
Like a blanket
It's just you, me and the moon
I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one
Sixteen years old
I dare to swim further out
I know you're always throwing kisses from the sky
Well, tonight I caught one

| Hooray, It's L.A. | |

(feat. Billy Corgan)
[Note: words in () are sung by Billy]
You and me we should get out of this town tonight
Cause everywhere I put my foot down
It's just another concrete block waiting for me
And it's a...
(dark cold night now)
And it's a...
(dark cold night)
My spirit is freezing to ice in this heat
Could you turn around and say
Hooray, it's a beautiful day L.A.
(yeah come on)
But now it's time
To pack your bags and go
Hooray it's a beautiful day L.A.
But I think I'll be gone today
I've been traveling at the speed of gasoline
And stopped by the color of electricity
We've been trying for too long
To cover up his fingerprints
From a distant past
And it's a...
(dark cold night now)
And it's a...
(dark cold night)
My spirit is freezing to ice in this heat
Could you turn around and say
Hooray, it's a beautiful day L.A.
(yeah come on)
But now it's time
To pack your bags and go
Hooray it's a beautiful day L.A.
But I think I'll be gone today
And it's a...
(damned cold night now)
And it's a...
(damned cold night now)
My spirit is freezing to ice in this heat
Could you turn around and say
Hooray, it's a beautiful day L.A.
(yeah come on)
But now it's time
To pack your bags and go
Hooray it's a beautiful day L.A.
But I think I'll be gone today

Blindside – Swallow
Been waiting and now you're sinking slow
Been watching how you rated me low
You say water is supposed to be brown
I say there's garbage in the fountain
Yeah
Taste and swallow, swallow down
swallow down, yeah swallow swallow down
Yeah
Been wanted for thinking slow
Now you've been longing for an open window
Get out Get out, throw out throw out
You're thirsty there’s no doubt
Yeah
Taste and swallow, swallow down
swallow down, swallow swallow down
swallow down, swallow swallow down
Taste and swallow, swallow down
swallow down, Taste swallow down and swallow swallow
down swallow yeah swallow swallow down,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
swallow down
swallow down
Taste and swallow, swallow swallow down
swallow down, swallow swallow it down
swallow yeah swallow swallow it down
swallow down yeah swallow swallow down

| Die Buying | |
|
Tempting life
Won't come and beg for the last time
It's already ours we just came here to claim it
And we are not paying a dime
In the street you'll find us
Vulnerable but lit up like a cigarette
Celebarating thankxmas
Without a regret
Can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie
Can't buy this freedom
With another gadget
Buy or die
So what do you say, let's stay
And not run away
You can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie
Tempting lie
I feel like houseclimbing
Down the street
Newfound freedom
Making wings grow out of my feet
In these streets we live
In these streets we die
Fear is expensive
And freedom is so free that it's hard to buy
Can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie
Can't buy this freedom
With another gadget
Buy or die
So what do you say, let's stay
And not run away
You can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie
Yeah, Yeah
Can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie
Can't buy this freedom
With another gadget
Buy or die
So what do you say, let's stay
And not run away
You can't buy this freedom
With another slogan
With another lie

| Across Waters Again | |
|
Waiting
How can someone so close
Be allowed to be so far away
Your red leaves fall in the evening
While Im waking up to smog these days
You know how I love when the sun touch my skin
But I still miss your thoughts on rain
So come and save me over the thin phoneline
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
WIth broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
But you were never late
To pick up the phone and call
Now it's fall and I miss
Making love in the sunday afternoon sunlight
Wednesday, thursday
One down, a billion to go
With glasses foggy you're losing sight
So come and I'll sae you over this thin phoneline
One of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
One of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings
My thoughts are on an airplane home
While my feet are still on the ground
Just one of those days
Where you learn to fly
With broken wings

| After You're Gone | |
|
I could not lie
Skin untouched growing thicker for every step unwalked
And I don't know if it's the cold intention-slide
Taking me down
But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
'Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
I could not lie
Even though dead skin like stone makes me ugly
It still pounds inside and it's red
And it's slipping through the grey cracks
And I know you know
But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
'Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
But what if you'd sing me alive
I'm ready to give up the fight
'Cause I'm just a stone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
Right after you're gone
The first thing that meets the eye
When I crossover into the light
I want it to be you
Right after I'm gone
Right after I'm gone
Right after I'm gone

| Where the Sun Never Dies | |
|
lyrics
I think I saw a place in the distance
We've always known it was there
When I have breathed for the last time
I'll walk out to the end of that pier
There is that place in our conscience
So talk so loud so you won't hear and forget
But I'll still call it home
But I'll still call it home
Where the sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
Where it's bright when I shut my eyes
I'll drink until I'm not thirsty
The sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
It's just waiting to rise
I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way
There's something moving in the shadows
There is that rumor of hope
When the spirit starts roaring
For long we have but no longer will we cope
Love is personified
I'd rather die in love
Than stay alive numb
'Cause I'll still call it
I'm still longing home
Where the sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
Where it's bright when I shut my eyes
I'll drink until I'm not thirsty
The sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
It's just waiting to rise
I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way
Where the sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
Where it's bright when I shut my eyes
I'll drink until I'm not thirsty
The sun never dies
Shine away my shadow
It's just waiting to rise
I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way
I'll see you on that day
When I walk those last steps your way

(verse 1)
Last night stopping by Greeting me with an embracing bad breath Five
A.M. You woke me out of a restless R.E.M. I think it's time to sober up
and die
(chorus)
Now every little second is precious time And every word seems to
ryme I follow every word like streetlight To make it home all right
Every little second flies I hold onto them like pieces of paradise I
follow every word like streetlights I want to fall in love and leave
tonight
(verse 2)
Been riding in the sunset Ignoring what follows after beauty Fades to
black Just riding in the sunset Now this paralyzing cold Always comes
crawling back I think it's time to sober up and live
(chorus 2x)
(sax solo)
(chorus)
(END)

| About a Burning Fire | |
|
Note: this is a great song but I have no idea how I
undestood Chrstian's screaming in this song. Hope this
helps the wondering fans.
[Into/Chorus]
I thought about a fire in the sky
I thought about, fire
I thought about love burning in your eyes
I thought about, fire
[Verse 1]
It hurts
That drops of flame would fall so precise
and that
everything else would lose it's meaning
what a beautiful
what painful surprise
There is no peace
outside if there's nothing within
It hurts
but like comming home
once dried up
I guess this is what you get
when your heart expands
[chorus]
[verse 2]
(love is)
destructive for the ego
your voice is the only thing that speaks rebellously
in this world of claiming your own
There is no peace
outside if there's nothing within
(Love is)
addictive for the spirit
your voice whispers with a roar
the fire rises up
refils
place the right king on the throne
[chorus]
