[Brooklin Matt]

Can anyone decipher all the lyrics from the new songs? It would be much appreciated and I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't mind seeing them written down.

[Hope]

its already in the other thread but i will quote it and post it nevertheless...

1. ANGELS LOSING SLEEP

Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone
Now you’re afraid of yourself
Over your shoulder you have to watch
Heaven fall into hell
Looks like your boat’s about to sink
So it’s time to prepare
Even the angels are losing sleep
And the sidewalks are bare
It’s like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm
You’ll get back here again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait till you fall from grace
It’s the calm before the storm
It’s there and then it’s gone
It looks like the wall was in your head
Not your heart
Just when you think it’s figured out
Well it all falls apart
It’s like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm
You’ll get back here again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait till you fall from grace
It’s the calm before the storm
It’s there then it’s gone
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone
Looks like the Holy Ghost is gone
Looks like the wall’s in your head
Looks like the war was in your head
Was in your head
It’s like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm
You’ll get back here again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait till you fall from grace
It’s the calm before the storm
It’s like the calm before the storm
You better swim
Just like it’s cold before it’s warm
You’ll get back here again
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, till you fall from grace
It’s the calm before the storm
It’s there then it’s gone

2. WILL THE FUTURE BLAME US?

Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
Are you disappointed?
And have we destroyed it I
But I’ve been stomping down the long and winding road
And these times are changing
And it’s complicated I
I don’t want to know
And I
Don’t ask why anymore
And I
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And is it getting better?
And can we live forever I
And I’m not sure what the hell we’re fighting for
And does the money make us?
And will the future blame us I
I don’t want to know
And I
Don’t ask why anymore
And I
Don’t ask why anymore, anymore
When you’re tired and alone
And you feel like letting go
Come home
When you can’t take anymore
When you’re beat up and ignored
Come home
The sun inside the hall
The faster you don’t know
A long, long way from home
The things you need to know
The answers leave you cold
You’re a long, long way from home
And the summer’s coming back
It brings a second chance
If you’re not part of this
Then I don’t want to know
Ooh hoo
Ooh hoo
And I
Don’t ask why anymore
And I
Don’t ask why anymore
When you’re tired and alone
And you feel like letting go
Come home
When you can’t take anymore
When you’re beat up and ignored
Come home
I’m coming home

3. PICTURE

Waiting by the telephone
Breathing through a giant rubber hose
God only knows
Photographs of you and me
Pictures of the friends you used to know
Where did they go?
And don’t take my picture down
And don’t erase everything that we had
Don’t think I let you down
And I might be gone, we’ll meet again
Can’t find you… so I’ll call your name
Riding on this satellite
Sun faded and sweaty, but that’s alright
Cause I’m still alive
Always stranded in this memory
Your mouth is wide open
You can’t scream
Oh you can’t scream
And don’t take my picture down
And don’t erase everything that we had
Don’t think I let you down
And I might be gone, we’ll meet again
Can’t find you… so I’ll call your name
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Please pick up the phone
Wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
I wanted you to know
And don’t take my picture down
And don’t erase everything that we had
Don’t think I let you down
And I might be gone, we’ll meet again
Can’t find you… so I’ll call your name

4. WHERE ARE YOU?

Hey you, have you felt like this before?
You got style, but ain’t got soul
Are you happy now, are you happy?
Tonight, did punk rock get it right?
Is there no future in sight?
Oh, is it different now, is it different?
Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming
You’re not listening
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in
Has lied to me
This could be the best day of my life
The best day of my life
Hey you, have you got everything you want?
Or do you want more than you got?
Is it different now, is it different?
Tonight, did Jesus get it right?
Or is the devil behind the light?
Are you happy now, are you happy?
Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming
You’re not listening
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in
Has lied to me
This could be the best day of my life
Sons and daughters
Mothers and fathers
Everyone’s waiting for our luck to change
Sons and daughters
Mothers and fathers
Everyone’s waiting, waiting
‘Cause this could be the best day
And this could be the best day
And this could be the best day, best day, best day
Come on
Come on, come on, come on
Where are you?
Where are you?
I’m kicking and screaming
You’re not listening
Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in
Has lied to me
This could be the best day
This could be the best day
This could be the best day, best day, best day
This could be the best day
This could be the best day
This could be the best day, best day, best day
Of your life

5. WIPE THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE

It’s just the two of us
A silver cross
And some strength that you won’t believe
I’m not your friend
And I won’t pretend
That I came here for peace
I’m not afraid
I’m going to make you pay
I’m going to wipe that smile off your face
This is war … I …
Wipe that smile off your face
The time has come
To drop the bomb
On the pain you’ve been selling
Well I don’t like you
Or your attitude
Or the company that you keep
This is war … I …
Wipe that smile off your face
Oh, this is war and I…
I’m going to wipe that smile off your face
Go …
Just the two of us
And a silver cross
And some strength that you won’t believe
I’m not afraid
I’m going to make you pay
I’m going to wipe that smile off your face
And this is war … oh …
I’m going to wipe that smile off your face
Oh, this is war … oh …
I’m going to wipe that smile off your face oh…
Wipe that smile
Wipe that smile
Going to wipe that smile off your face
Wipe that smile
Going to wipe that smile
Going to wipe that smile off your face oh …
No

6. LOVE & TRUST

Mother, will you think of me in your prayers?
This twenty-first century is a mess
Oh you can try and fix it
But it breaks
Oh you can try and love it
But it hates
Oh it hates
This is for everything we had
It’s the good and it’s the bad
It’s the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
Father, will you comfort me if I call?
This crazy world has lost its mind
It’s our fault
Oh you can try and straighten it
It turns, it turns, it turns
Oh you can try and smother it
But it burns
Oh it burns
This is for everything we had
It’s the good and it’s the bad
It’s the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
Oh will you break my fall
Oh when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh will you bring me home
When I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
This is for everything we had
It’s the good and it’s the bad
It’s the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
Oh will you break my fall
Oh when I climb too high?
I always lose my nerve
It happens every time
Oh will you bring me home
When I’m barely alive?
It’s the state of love and trust
And this is for you
And this is for us
And this is for you
And this is for us
And this is for you
And this is for us
This is for us

7. BOY

It’s time for forgiveness
It’s time for relief
It’s time that we’ve wasted
And it’s time that we need
It’s time for decision
It’s time to be brave
It’s the time of your life
Don’t let it slip away
Boy
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere
Don’t carry the weight of the world
It’s time that we borrow
And it’s time that we bleed
It’s time that will cure us
You just got to believe
There’s a warning up ahead
The alarms gone off again
But the sun will fill the sky
Fill the sky
Boy
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere
Don’t carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming to get you out of here
Don’t carry the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world
Just when you think you’re done
The war can never be won
I’ll be there to pick you up
And dust you off
And bring you home
And make you feel loved
Don’t carry the weight of the world
And boy
You’ll be running but can’t get anywhere
Don’t carry the weight of the world
And boy
Help is coming
I’ll get you out of here
Don’t carry the weight of the world
Weight of the world
And the weight of the world
The weight of the world
And the weight of the world
And tonight is a fireball
And tonight you’re not alone
And tonight we start again
Tonight the best is yet to come

8. APOLOGY

You, you’re me
I’m the lock, you’re the key
You’re the air, the air I breathe
But tonight I’m choking
You are my life
You are my life
You, you’re the sea
I’m the waves crashing on the ground
The ground under your feet
I’m a liar, a thief
And I’m an apology
You are my life
You are my life
You are my life
You are my life
Don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go

9. THE WORLD ON A STRING

I see the world on a string
It’s hanging from a wire
It gets tangled up and spun around
Like the truth inside a liar
Sometimes you want to get high
And sometimes you run and hide
Cause it eats you up and spits you out
It swallows you alive
When I’m down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding)
You’ll bring me back to life
When there’s no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
And you’ll bring me back to life
You’ll bring me back to life
I see the world on a beach
It’s sinking in the sand
Oh it tries to suck you down with it
You better get out while you can
Sometimes you want to scream out
And sometimes you just can’t
Cause your lips
They’re like they’re glued together
And no one gives a damn
When I’m down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding)
You’ll bring me back to life
When there’s no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
And you’ll bring me back to life
And you’ll bring me back to life
This is the world on a string
There’s no songs left to sing
Just sing
Sing
I see the good, I see the bad, the revolution
I see the happy
I see the sad
The absolution
I see hate
And I see love
When the world’s on a string
I see the good, I see the bad, the revolution
I see the happy
I see the sad
The absolution
I see hate
And I see love
When the world’s on a string
When I’m down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding)
You’ll bring me back to life
When there’s no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
And you’ll bring me back to life
When I’m down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I’m bleeding)
You’ll bring me back to life
When there’s no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
And you’ll bring me back to life
And you’ll bring me back to life
And you’ll bring me back to life

10. DON’T STOP

Can’t get out of bed
Straighten up my head
I swear this is goodbye
I feel like lying here
I feel like dying here
And only you can save me tonight
I felt this earth spin and crash
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast
Don’t stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you
I feel powerless
I feel underdressed
I swear this is goodbye
I don’t want to go
I just seem to blow everything that I love tonight
I’ve been hiding here
I’ve been lying here
Watching life pass me by
I want you to know
I want you to know
I’d die for you
I’d die for you
I felt this earth spin and crash
The end of the world shouldn’t come so fast
Don’t stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you
Don’t stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you
Everyone’s losing their minds
Healthy in paranoid times
I sit on my prints for tonight
It’s never goodbye
It’s never
Goodbye
Don’t stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
No one will ever compare
Will ever be better than you
Don’t stop sucking me in
Making me come back to you
Oh no one will ever compare
Will ever be better
Better
Better than you
Better than you
Better than you
Better than you
Better than you

11. WALKING IN CIRCLES

I used to want to dream
I used to want to scream at the top of my lungs
Like a diamond in a ring
Or the song you love to sing
The shine is gone
Walking in circles
Circles
Walking in circles
Walking in
Walking in
I used to want to run
I used to want to climb up to the sun
Ambition is killing me
And you transcended up my knee
Oh
I feel so cheap
Walking in circles
Circles
Walking in circles
Walking in
Walking in
It’s a feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more
And more
And more
And more
Circles
See them?
It’s a feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more
And more
And more
And more
A feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more
And more
And more
And more
And more
And more
And more
And more
And more
And more
And more (more, more, more)
And more (more, more, more)
And more (more, more, more)
And more
Walking in circles
Circles
Walking in circles
Walking in
Walking in
It’s a feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more
And more
And more
And more
It’s a feeling that you know
A feeling that explodes
A feeling you want more
And more
And more
And more

12. AL GENINA (LEAVE A LIGHT ON)

Fell asleep today
North Ontario
Woke up far away
A place I didn’t know
A woman smiled at me
She said welcome to my home
Life is different here she says now
Camouflage of gold
She said hey leave a light on for me
Hey, leave the light on for me
Might not make it home
Can’t leave here tonight
Not afraid to live
Not afraid to die
And hey, leave a light on for me
Hey, leave a light on for me


from the 'new olp songs' thread.. thanks to gokirk72[/b]

[gokirk72]

Also, the more I listen to Apology, I'm not sure whether it goes "You are my love" or "You are my life", just to let anyone know.

[Axtech]

Apology is definately "you are my life". You can clearly hear both the vowel sounds (liiiiiife, not looooove) and the f.

[naveed99]

Ive always thought it was love. Really, either line works, but it seems like love makes more sense to the song.

[Axtech]

Well, both words would have the exact same connotations. We'll just have to wait until the album, complete with liner notes, comes out to see who's right.

(i'm right)

[naveed99]

Maybe they album wont have liner notes???

Then we'll never know.

[Soozy]

From what I saw I don't think there will be lyrics in the liner notes. But I'm quite prepared to be wrong.

[naveed99]

I think youre right, didnt somebody see the album at the drake show, and it never had ljner notes??

[Long Jonny]

It's "you are my life" not "love"

[Soozy]

I think youre right, didnt somebody see the album at the drake show, and it never had ljner notes??

That would be me. I'm not 100% it doesn't have lyrics in there, but it looked quite small/thin and at least 2 pages were taken up with things that happened in the 1165 days it took to record the album.

We'll just have to wait and seee ...

[naveed99]

I wouldnt be surprised, its not uncommon nowadays for albums to come without liner notes. Naveed didnt have any.

[reza]

I haven't heard any of the new songs, I've refused to allow myelf (except for the songs from Edgefest), but I decided that reading the lyrics is okay (largely because I'm dying of new OLP-deprivation. Lyrics seem like they're a giant leap forward from Gravity, I really like the lyrics to Apology. I love that he says in the beginning "You're me." It just adds a completely different message to the song. Anyone think that the intro to Don't Stop reads a little bit like one of the intros to Not Afraid? I also think that the little part in World on a String with 'The girl,' will sound nice, I'm really looking forward to that track. I noticed that Will the Future Blame Us? in Edgefest had a part in the song that said "Your friends are making love," that line's noticibly missing from the lyrics in that song, I just really liked that one line. It said a lot, reading the lyrics is an awesome teaser to the new album.

[naveed99]

The lyrics for this album are generally more throughtful and broad then the lyrics for gravity. A large amount of Gravity was about relationships, this album is not so much. It seems like the album is quite political actually, in is obviously very influenced by Raine's trip to Sudan.

[Hope]

but I decided that reading the lyrics is okay (largely because I'm dying of new OLP-deprivation. Lyrics seem like they're a giant leap forward from Gravity, I really like the lyrics to Apology. I love that he says in the beginning "You're me."


[...]

agreed completely. i the lyrics of Apology

[Waiting to Exist]

I wouldnt be surprised, its not uncommon nowadays for albums to come without liner notes. Naveed didnt have any.

Yeah, it did.

Assuming by liner notes we mean song lyrics.

EDIT: Also, I would be surprised if this didn't have lyrics, just because it'd be the first OLP album without them, except for Live, where it'd have been silly to include lyrics.

[naveed99]

Ya, who knows, we'll have to find out. I wouldnt mind if there wasn't lyrics, but it doesnt make a difference to me.

Itd be nice if they included some other stuff, didnt someone say that there was stuff about how long it took to make the album, and other things that took that long? I thought I read that here somewhere...

[Teedus]

I think it's your are my love, you are my life.

he does o in the first and i in the second.

[He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named]

Some corrections.

In Angels, I think it's "war was in your head", not "wall".

In World on a String, it's not "I see the girl, I see the path of revolution", it's "I see the good, I see the bad, the revolution"

In Don't Stop, it's not "I felt this girl spin and crash", it's "I felt this earth"
