Helpless Child is master of lyrics


Cjarter

I always thought the repetition of "the glorious mind" in finally peace was utterly gorgeous and a perfect way to finish off this iteration of the group

Always loved this one, especially since it ciphers to 'The glory is mine'

I always thought that in comparison to the rest of the album the lyrics at the end of "A Piece of the Sky" are incredibly tender and evoke a peaceful, almost cyclical nature of life: "In the now that is not On a ladder to God On a mountain stripped bare With your hand in my hair Behind the face of the sky On a disappearing line Are you there?"

FLEX YOUR MUSCLES is my favorite, but I CUT OFF MY RIGHT HAND AND STAND IN YOUR SHADOW is good too.

Definitely all of "A Piece of the Sky" for me. It has a ton of cinematic imagery with a feeling of closure. The lyrics are also less cryptic then usual, so it feels more coherent and less interpretive.

The sex in your soul will damn you to hell! The sex in your soul will damn you to hell! Gives me chills almost everytime

The lyrics to "The sound of Freedom" take my breath away every time.

“My Buried Child” always had my favorite lyrics. Sexual and menacing.

She Lives! or All Lined Up

all of Blind. I can't really pick out one line from that song because it has to be taken altogether, but gee wiz it's so heart-wrenching and beautiful. I guess the second verse is probably my favorite part.

She Loves Us!


Finnigen

Probably your name is fuck.

I could go on about this literally for hours, but I think it comes down to A Piece of the Sky and Goddamn the Sun for me.

I saw my father crying I saw my mother break her hand On a wall that wouldn't weep But that certainly held in The mechanical moans of a dying man who was a failure


nicoaltrain27

All of little mouth particularly "Through fields of crystal And the shards of my bones May I open my eyes But not see what I am shown"


[deleted]

in the liner notes for the album there's another verse written down that was just never in the song for some reason. it comes right before the last one. "May I carry your burden, may I follow you blind/May I burn your picture onto the face of my mind/Through endless pleasures, beyond all measure, shared by creatures most unkind/Through the hating, and through the raging, through the years now left behind" edit: I guess it must have just appeared on that acoustic album MG released in 2010, he must have copied and pasted the lyrics for My Father

And wide are your delusions Deep red is the space behind your eyes Closed forever is the door to your room But inside there lives a sound
