LABRINTH LYRICS

"Beneath Your Beautiful"
(feat. Emeli Sandé)
You tell all the boys "No"
Makes you feel good, yeah.
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh, no
You've carried on so long,
You couldn't stop if you tried it.
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it,
But I'm gonna try.
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a boy say, "Please, don't hurt me"
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it.
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it.
But I'm gonna try
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, tonight?
See beneath, see beneath,
I...
Tonight
I...
I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling but that's OK
'Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl (take it off now, boy,take it off now, boy)
'Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight, oh, oh, oh, tonight?
See beneath your beautiful, oh, tonight.
We ain't perfect, we ain't perfect, no.
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?

f*cking Perfect by Pink

Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life

Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good'
It didn't slow me down.
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look I'm still around

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than f*cking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f*cking perfect to me

You're so mean (so mean) when you talk (when you talk)
About yourself. You were wrong.
Change the voices (change the voices) in your head (in your head)
Make them like you instead.

So complicated,
Look how we all make it.
Filled with so much hatred
Such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I could think of
Chased down all my demons
I've seen you do the same
(Oh oh)

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than f*cking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f*cking perfect to me

The whole world's scared, so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and we try, try, try but we try too hard
And it's a waste of my time.
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that, why do I do that (why do I do that)?

(Yeah! Oh!)
I'm pretty, pretty, pretty

Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than f*cking perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f*cking perfect to me
(You're perfect, you're perfect)
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're f*cking perfect to me.

Looks like an interesting film. I find I'm a bit lost without lyrics though so I didn't listen to the whole thing. There seemed to be different tones in the theme tune though, I could hear some peril and later on a bit of hope. I like some classical music, but I'm always so caught up in lyrics, that a song without words just isn't the same for me. I know some people prefer tunes, I just find it harder to relate to music than lyrics.

I think it's because in my head I can always hear the dispatcher's voice listing the units being sent; 'Engine 33, Truck 49, Truck 51, Medic 20...etc.' as it does in the film.

Our fire brigade does some thing similar and it reminds me of that.

Crawling
Linkin Park

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface,
Consuming, confusing,
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending, controlling,
I can’t seem, to find myself again
My walls are closing in
[without a sense of confidence I’m convinced
There’s just too much pressure to take]
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting how I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
[without a sense of confidence I’m convinced
That there’s just too much pressure to take]
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

(there’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming,) confusing what is real

(this lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling,) confusing what is real

@MissAntiSunshine Has anyone ever told you you have awesome musical taste!?! I think I hurt my hand clicking like tonight.

I have a few to add. Not sure if they have already been mentioned, if so, a reminder. These ones are mellow. I'm in a down mood tonight.

James Taylor: Fire and Rain
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely days when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Anders Manga: Heart of Black
Wash me in the water
Cover me in sand
Burn all of the bridges that lead to me
Till the love is washed off in the water
Covered in the sand
Build the highest wall of flames around me
Till the heart of black is what I am

Tori Amos: A Sorta Fairytale
way up North I took my day
all in all was a pretty nice
day and I put the Hood
right back where
You could taste heaven
perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
didn’t know when we’d be back
And I - I don’t -
didn’t think
we’d end up like
like this

@Candleflames & @Pietro

Your comments really made my day today! As I say in the beginning of the thread, I'd been mucking around about whether or not to make this thread for quite a long time before I did. These results just make me so glad we can all share here. :)

 

[Candleflames]

Trying to switch gears today and do something productive! Got this band up on Spotify and starting out with this song. I couldn't find the lyrics so wrote down the first part.

Ahhh the crunchyness!

System Syn: Chemical

You spent a long time going through the motion
Living fast and burning every bridge you see
It doesn’t matter if your void of all emotion
Don’t even know what you’re expected to be

You’re just a chemical
a holy f*cking chemical
It doesn’t matter that you’re self aware
It’s just so typical to be an individual
So like a junkie to say you don’t care

I understand that you relate to me on some level
But what that is I can’t even begin to guess
You look at me like we are the same self destructing animal
But I don’t understand you constant need to confess

You’re just a chemical
A holy f*cking chemical
You’re just a chemical
You’re not an individual
You’re just a chemical
a holy f*cking chemical

 

[Kintsugi]

Sober
Tool

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me
Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now the path called "must we"
Just before the Son has come

Jesus, won't you f*cking whistle?
Something but the past and done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
Just want to start things over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you!
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

Trust me.

Mother Mary won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done

Trust me.

 

[Pietro]

These results just make me so glad we can all share here.

I'm glad also. Truly, this thread helped me learn something important about myself. And, it's also pretty damn cool that it's been going for 2.5 years! :D

 

[Kintsugi]

It's also pretty damn cool that it's been going for 2.5 years! :D

Proof I'm getting old! :P

 

[Pietro]

Proof I'm getting old!

Ha ha, I'm the one posting songs from the late 60's! :D Speaking of which, here's one I've always loved. Kind of hippie-dippie, but it's one of the few things I have good memories of from that time.

[DLMURL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xbpgmJCxT8"]Candle of Life[/DLMURL]
Moody Blues

Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life

Something there outside
Says we're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life

...

Here's one that's on my special playlist. The version I have though is a little different though as it was a pre-release. Two of the band members are married and have a couple of daughters. At the end of recording one girl came in and said a few things. It was a part of the pre-release but not on the cd. Makes me get a little misty-eyed every time.

Abney Park: Downtrodden

Once I was complete.
With the earth firm under my feet.
My back was strong, my body fleet.
Now I ache all over
Now I ache all over

I learned each virtue I was told.
I worked hard to avoid the mold.
But as I saw my life unfold,
There was no place for me.
There was no place for me.

I’ve been beat I’ve been broken
I asked for my place and the world has spoken.
I was asleep
Now that I’ve woken
I preferred my dreams.

I’m tired of guilt. I’m tired of crying.
I’m tired of work and I’m finished trying
I’m tired of living and I’m scared of dying.
But there is nothing else.

It was hard as I begun.
Each day harder it has become.

(Repeat once)

Daughter enters recording studio and says in toddler voice:
What’s that? What are you doing daddy? What?
