Esaul

[.in.the.shadows.]

While watching the secrets on Frat Party At The Pancake Festival I realized that the version of Esaul that's on there has different lyrics to it. Were there two versions?

Also... for the version on Frat Party... I can't find the lyrics to it anywere. Does anyone have them? If you do please post them because this has been driving me insane for a couple of days now. THANKS MUCH

There are actually 4 versions of Esaul, but 3 are almost identical, just very small lyrical differences. The Frat Party version is very different from the other 3, I believe it was the earliest version of the song. The lyrics are impossible to find since they weren't included on the DVD and the band never told us the words, but there are several ear-transcribed versions on various fansites, I think the most accurate one is something like this:

...*Copy-pastes from my lyrics file* :lol:

Writing with a head full of buckets of red
And what I said still stuck in my head
A thoroughbred can only be bred if it's
Left in the land where they never come back
Stepping on the thumbtack, you could never run from that
No questions, rising above the horizon
Smellin' the combustion
I wanna collab with the power of my mind
But I'm turning around with the pen, counting down time
In the center of a day over this
Seeing all my thoughts gettin' lost in the mist
Realizing one not the size of the fist
And the kill us and they kill 'em with a flick of the wrist

I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I lived for them
(You'll see it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head

The second I find the weapon of time
It's stronger than a nuclear bomb
Eternity a halfpipe
Something that man can't right
Can't fight horribly?
Still be around as long as it's for me
You ain't that, first you end all our plans
So you can see the attraction of the payback
Don't want me to say that?
Playback the beatdown
Gettin' lost in the chaos, tossin' it down

Singing again to myself, a leg trip neck twitch
All I do for a head full of hectic
Check this, please don't leave me outside
Adding to the panic in my confine (x2)

I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I lived for them
(You'll see it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head

Soon, the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds (x8)

I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I lived for them
(You'll see it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head

BURN!
BURN!
BURN!

Singing again to myself, a leg trip neck twitch
All I do for a head full of hectic
Check this, please don't leave me outside
Addict to the panic in my confine (x2)




This was what I transcribed, and comparing it to the other transcribed versions, it sounds the closest to what is on the DVD in my opinion.

thank you so much! it was mostly the lyrics I was concerned about.. I could NEVER figure out what he was saying during the bridge (Soon, the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds ...) Everytme i played it I could only make out "soon the........room.......wounds" lol
Thanks so much!

I have 3 of the versions: Frat Party, the JoeHahn.com version and the regular studio Esaul song. If there was an Esaul demo, then that's the fourth.

Those lyrics up there matched with the JoeHahn.com version (inside Mike's Garage) and Frat Party DVD, but I haven't checked the others.

There's only one song with those lyrics, it's the Frat Party version. The JoeHahn.com version is the same as Frat Party's.
