I thought I heard the lyrical lamb and the power of God, but at the time of writing the first transcribe, I was unsure about it. Because you heard it too, Octogonapus, it gives me more confidence that those lyrics are right! Thank you for confirming my insanity!
Lyrical Lamb/Power Of God = reference to Lamb of God. Which can mean two things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_of_God or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_of_God_(band)
I know what it means, it just didn't make sense in my mind at the time. Makes sense now that I'm not crunching the lyrics over and over and had time to digest it...
I've found that listening to a song over and over trying to pick apart the lyrics tends to just make it more difficult, it's like your brain just zeroes in on the parts it already knows and blocks everything else out. A lot of the stuff I figured out in Esaul was done in one listen after I went a couple days without listening to it.
Yes...but we're not done with lyrics yet so nothing's up lyrically. Esaul Writing with a head full of buckets of red And what I said still stuck in my head A thoroughbred, thoroughly bled And led to the land where they never come back, Smaller than a thumbtack, And you'll never run from that, [...] over the horizon, Smaller than a flystand, I'm a lyrical lamb, the power of a god In my cynical hand, with a pen, once again, Swimming in the center of a hit or a miss Reeling in my thoughts, getting lost in the mist Realizing one not the size of the fist And the killing of the killer with a flick of the wrist I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I lived for them (Still see it's not meant to be for me) I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy A place for my head And the second it's gone, the weapon of time It's stronger than a nuclear bomb Eternity or half-life Something that math can't write You can't fight nor flee Still be around if it wasn't for me [...] verse whatever my friends, And you can see the attraction of the payback, Don't want me to say that? Play back the thing now, Getting lost in the chaos, tossing it down, Singing again to myself, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time Adding to the panic in my confine Singing again to myself, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time Adding to the panic in my confine I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I lived for them (Still 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 Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I lived for them (Still 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, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time Adding to the panic in my confine Singing again to myself, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time An addict to the panic of my confine
Aaaand done: Writing with a head full of buckets of red And what I said still stuck in my head A thoroughbred, thoroughly bled And led to the land of the never-come-back Smaller than a thumbtack, yet they never run from that From planetary signs, rising over the horizon, smaller than a flystand I'm a lyrical lamb, the power of a god In my cynical hand, with a pen, once again Swimming in the center of the hit or a miss Reeling in my thoughts, getting lost in the mist Realizing one not the size of the fist And the killing of the killer with a flick of the wrist I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I lived for them (Still see it's not meant to be for me) I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy A place for my head And the second it's gone, the weapon of time It's stronger than a nuclear bomb, eternity or half-life Something that math can't write, you can't fight nor flee Still be around if it wasn't for me "Wait, that first" Whatever, my friends So you can see the attraction of the payback Don't want me to say that? Play back the thing now Getting lost in the chaos, tossing it down Singing again to myself, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time Adding to the panic in my confine Singing again to myself, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time Adding to the panic in my confine I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I lived for them (Still 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 Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room, heal my wounds I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I lived for them (Still 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, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time Adding to the panic in my confine Singing again to myself, electric neck twitch Hungry for a head full of hectic Accept this, doing double-duty on time An addict to the panic of my confine ...Doubtful that this is 100% correct, but it's the first time I've been able to fill out every line at least.
Guys, those Esaul lyrics kick ass! Makes me feel like I had not a clue when I first transcribed! I fixed it on the first post, by the way...
Only line I'm iffy on is: ""Wait, that first" Whatever, my friends", otherwise I think we've finally got this bitch. Thank god.
Slip (1998 demo) lyrics? So, i am new here (technically) and noticed that there are no lyrics set up for the song Slip. I did some looking around but every site is different and all of them look wrong. Mostly around the chorus. Can you guys help me out? I tried my best and want you guys to see what you think is right or wrong. "In the center of the silence The violent thoughts are thrown through The thick smoke of flickering lights that brighten the room All the things that you wanted to say get lost and thrown away You can fade and hesitate to speak your mind Can't turn back when you cross the line Sometimes someone you know who just doesn't care Has to see you go to know you were there (chorus) This is the sun behind the rain Even if sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute Maybe I've begun to run an endless race But I never look back when I begin it Know that this the sun behind the rain Even if sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute Maybe I've begun to run an endless race But I never look back when I begin it I know that all of this will soon be gone You don't really have to prove them wrong Sometimes you got no control of where you go Taken down a road you don't know And you feel so lost that you want to hide your face You don't recognize the place your in Sometimes the sun doesn't shine your way Sometimes the night doesn't turn to day But sometimes the light's so bright it burns through the night And keeps the darkness at bay (Far away) *love that part (chorus) This is the sun behind the rain Even if sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute Maybe I've begun to run an endless race But I never look back when I begin it Know that this is the sun behind the rain Even if sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute Maybe I've begun to run an endless race But I never look back when I begin it I know that all of this will soon be gone You don't really have to prove them wrong You'll be far away from them with me Follow the link in the chain without a name Steal the light, the dark contains the reigns *this is the only line that I am uncertain about Taken away from the place you've been trapped Break all you know to bring it all back (chorus) This is the sun behind the rain Even if sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute Maybe I've begun to run an endless race But I never look back when I begin it Know that this the sun behind the rain Even if sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute Maybe I've begun to run an endless race But I never look back when I begin it I know all of this will soon be gone You don't really have to prove them wrong I know that soon enough you will make them see You'll be far away from them alone with me
Hey! Welcome to the LPA and I congratulate your efforts for providing the lyrics to "Slip." Good stuff. I just wanted to tell you that we have an LPU 11 lyrics transcribing thread found here. The lyrics have not been posted officially because they are not 100% for the album. Swing on by that thread and see if you can help us solve any more mysteries!
Positive it's "you debate and hesitate" and then during the bridge "seal the light, the dark contains remains"
