Feeder lyrics
Album: Swim [2001]
| Sweet16 | |

Get away from me and so she said
You're like a social disease
I'm so tired of being afraid of you
(......) she sees
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
You could be anywhere
See yourself standing there
She's my death She's my death
He can't stop imposing himself on her
He likes the way that she is
His heart beats, fingers all over her
His dirty breath smells of beer
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
You could be anywhere
See yourself standing there
She's my death She's my death
Come a little closer to me
Come a little nearer come on
She works late so she can keep away
Too scared to go to the police
So young he's working her like a dog
One day while she was searching there
She came across a new toy
Her eyes filled as she loaded the weapon
Her mind racing she cries
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
You could be anywhere
See yourself standing there
Save yourself look and see
Think about it, sweet sixteen
She's my death
She's my death
Death
She's my death
Death

| Stereo World | |
|
Staring at the ideal world
The bubble begins to break
Gazing at the ceiling cracks
The more the picture fades
It's just that I can't see
When I'm down like this
I just feel the weight
As I try to resist
Chorus:
It doesn't matter when I can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens, I drift away
Floating out of sync again
Reaching for a cloud

She's looking good in a new towel,
Looking clear in the new crowd,
She's so funny to be with,
So easy to forgive
See you, you see me,
We could be free,
I'll let you know
"Women in towels"
Take a look at the old suits,
Hanging around in the old school,
She's looking good with her hair down,
Feeling high in the fairground
See you, you see me
We could be free,
You've gotta live
So you could breathe
I wish you could just see yourself,
No shame, in pain (again)
"Women in towels"
"Life is work"
"It's not what you are, it's what you do"
See you, you see me
We could be free,
You've gotta live
So you could breathe
I wish you could just see yourself,
No shame, in pain (again)
"Women in towels"
"Women in towels

| Descend | |
|
Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)
Im not insane
Can't reach the pain
Chorus:
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me
I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
Chorus
Alone ....alone
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them
I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain
Chorus

Would it always be the same
Give it all to reason
Let me down
You watch me drown
Hold me down I can't explain
Though I never could - that's the problem
Fight about the plate again,
Climbing up to free myself.
I don't need this
Innovation comes
Do you really know
I'm falling
I just fall into shade
All I wanna do is pray
Give me back the freedom
If it comes the only way
Clearance sets me free
... twist and turn
Looking at the same thing
Flicking back the pages
Just enough for me to see myself
I don't need this
Innovation comes
Do you really know
I'm trying to believe
As life turns on
Do you see it
Do you really know
I'm falling
I will fall into space
As funny though it seems
That I can dream a little
It's pulling me inside
The wheels still turn
...as the sun
Touch my face
...back home
I don't need this
Innovation comes,
I'm trying to believe
As life drags on
Do you see it
Do you really know
I'm falling

Kill, kill or be killed for
Expected life to be so safe
Caught, caught in a mantrap
Another part of me has changed
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Fill, filled with emotion
Sailing off the edge again
Drown, drown all devotion
Riding on a drift to hell
Maybe I could swim
Can't help myself
It's funny but it seems
I lose myself
I'm lost inside a dream
I hate myself
The more that I believe
Can't find my way
Can't find my way.

Summer breeze, kisses me
Autumn leaves retire
Apathy, breaking free
Still waiting for the sun
See me as I wait
See me wait
I can't see another
See me wait
Forever
Reach a plea, honey feed
Open, feel like fire
Turning red, above my head
Reaching to recover
See me as I wait
See me wait
I can't see another
See me wait
I can't end another
Open your arms (See me wait)
Just see how it is (Another)
Open your arms (See me wait)
Just see how it is, see how it is (Another)
Open your arms
Just see how it is (Another)
Reaching again (See me wait)
Just see how it is (Another)

| World Asleep | |
|
Feel like me
Cut away my skin
The blood on the tap washes clean
The mirror I cracked curses me
If you're a little late
It's time to leave
Live another day now
I hear you scream
See, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you'll see)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
Pain, in me
Watch as it feeds
Another day melts, I feel the heat
The honey I drink nurses me
If you're a little late
It's time to leave
Live another day now
I hear you scream
See, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you'll see)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
Too late, drifting away
Too late
See, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you'll see)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
Just see, see what I can see (I will believe in you, you and me)
Cover me with angel's wings (I will believe in you, you and me)
Breathe the air I breathe (I will believe in you, you and me)
Suffocate the world asleep (I will believe in you, you and me)
I will, I, I, I
I will, I, I, I

| Chicken on a Bone | |

Follow the river
Wallow in silver
Voices draw nearer
I'm counting out the day's wage
Let it be known, lettin' it out
Let it be known, lettin' it out
See it so near, it seems so far
It's when you're here, It's where you are
See it so clear
Making my head spin
Watching the world sing
Holding me under
Try and get a hold son
Let it be known, lettin' it out
Let it be known, lettin' it out
See it so near, it seems so far
It's when you're here, it's where you are
See it so clear
Pale and wanton
Dreams forgotten
No use crying
I feel like chicken on a bone, chicken on a bone
See it so near, it seems so far
It's when you're here, it's where you are
See it so clear
Lettin' it out
Oh, let it be known, let it be known
Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out
Let it be known, let it be known
Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out
Hello, hello, hello..
Let it be known, let it be known
Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out
Let it be known, let it be known
Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out, Lettin' it out

Push holes in the plastic
Immaculate dolls in the hands of a child with a ratchet
Two fingers too out of control
The confusion shall leave us to vultures and preachers
I hate it...
Can't take it...
I can't believe it
Why can't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
Turn over another day older
Another day nearer to jumping on over
Bloodsuckers and lovers that leave you
And tease you and cheat you, deceive you I see through
I hate it...
Don't want it...
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I'll say what I wanna say
I'll say what I wanna say
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed
I can't believe it
Why don't you see it?
I can't believe it
Chew me up when needed...

| Forgiven | |
|
Calling out again,
Sweat upon my head aches
Making me feel bad
Ill again
And as we're dreaming
Maybe im high
High, takes me in,
High and i hear you say
Forgiven, i wish i was forgiven
From all this pain
Reaching out to say...
Thinking of the days
Walking by the trees swaying
Staring at the sun
The little child is me
The pain has taken over
Smiles have turned to stone
High, takes me in,
High i hear you say
Forgiven, i wish i was forgiven
From all this pain
Reaching out to say...
You heal the scars i hide
You drank the tears i cried
Im reaching out to touch
The angel of my life
Forgiven
Forgiven
Forgiven
I wish i was
I show you the reason
That we are still alive
Maybe its inside my head
The dreams when you arrive
Forgiven
Forgiven
I wish i was
I wish i was
Forgiven
Forgiven
I wish i was
I wish i was
Forgiven
