Songtexte The Chronicles of Life and Death
(Verse 1:)
You come in cold, you’re covered in blood
They’re all so happy you’ve arrived
The doctor cuts your cord, hands you to your mom
She sets you free into this life And where do you go with no destination, no map to guide you
Wouldn’t you know that it doesn’t matter; we all end up the same (Chorus:)
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional they may seem
You come in this world, and you go out just the same
Today could be the best day of your life
(Verse 2:)
And money talks in this world
That’s what idiots will say
But you want answers
But now you're old, cold covered in blood, right back to where you started from
(Chorus:)
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem
You come in this world, and you go out just the same
Today could be the worst day of your life
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem
You come in this world, and you go out just the same
Today could be the best day of, today could be the worst day, today could be the last day of your life
It’s your life
Your life I just wanna live
I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are creepin about
These people are freakin me out (these days)
It’s getting hectic anywhere that I go
They won’t leave me alone
There’s things they all want to know
I’m paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me? And why can’t anyone see? I just wanna live
I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live I rock a law suit when I’m going to court
A white suit when I’m getting divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I’m home alone
Talking on the phone
Got an interview with the Rolling Stone
They’re saying, “Now you’re rich, now you’re famous”
Fake ass girls all know your name and "Lifestyles of the rich and the famous"
Your first hit aren’t you ashamed
Of the life, of the life, of the life we’re living. Stop your messing around, boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans, boy
Said everyone of our teachers
We’ve already seen the worst that this life can bring Now we expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that the say
Yeah we already know PredictableSomething isn’t right I can feel it again, feel it again
This isn’t the first time that you left me waiting
Sad excuses and false hopes high I saw this coming;
still I don’t know why I let you in I knew it all along
It’s so predictable
I knew it all along
It’s so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something’s always wrong)
So you don’t have to call or say anything at all. It’s so predictable (so predictable) So take your empty words, your broken promises
And all the time you your empty words, your broken promises
And all the time you stole, cuz I am done with this I could give it away, give it away;
I’m doing everything I should’ve
And now I’m making a change, I’m living the day
I’m giving back what you gave me I don’t need anything
I knew it all along
It’s so predictable (so predictable) Everywhere I go, everyone I meet, everytime I try to fall in love, they all wanna know why I’m so broken;
why am I so cold, why I’m so hard inside, why am I scared, what am I afraid of?
I don’t even know!
This story never had an end; I’ve been waiting
I’ve been searching
I’ve been hoping
I’ve been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You’re never coming back
Never I knew it all along
It’s so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something’s always wrong)
So you don’t have to call or say anything at all
It’s so predictable (so predictable)
Everywhere I go for the rest of my life
Everyone I love, everyone I care about (so predictable)
They’re all gonna wanna know what’s wrong with me
And I know what it is and I’m gonna end this right now (so predictable) Emotionaless Hey dad
I'm writing to you
not to tell you, that I still hate you
just to ask you
how you feel
and how we fell apart
how this fell apart
are you happy out there in this great wide world?
do you think about your sons?
do you miss your little girl?
when you lay your head down
how do you sleep at night?
do you even wonder if we're all right?
but we're all right
we're all right
chorus:
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
the days I spent so cold, so hungry
were full of hate
I was so angry
those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
there's things I'll take, to my grave
but I'm okay
I'm okay
chorus:
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that I'm still alive
yeah, I'm still alive
sometimes...
I forgive
yeah and this time
I'll admit
that I miss you, said I miss you
Chorus:
it's been a long hard road without you by my side
why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
you broke my mother's heart
you broke your children for life
it's not ok,
but we're all right
I remember the days, you were a hero in my eyes
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I'm writing just to let you know that were still alive
and sometimes
I forgive
and this time
I'll admit, that I miss you, miss you
hey dad The Anthem (yeah.. here we go)
It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life
That's what I'm told
But everything it all just feels the same
At my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell
A pennitentary
But time spent there it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you
Don't wanna be just like you
Oh what I'm sayin is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You, don't wanna be you
Go to college
A university
Get a real job
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
At a stepwall
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so they don't mind
Do you really want to be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of the crowd?
'Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You, don't wanna be you
Shake it once that's fine
Shake it twice that's okay
Shake it 3 times you're playing with yourself again
You, don't wanna be just like you (what I'm sayin is)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Yell if you feel me
Sing if you're with me
You, don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Yell if you feel me
Sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem My Bloody Valentine Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I ripped out
His throat
And called you on the telephone
To take off
My disguise
Just in time to hear you cry when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
There was
Police and
Flashing lights
The rain came down so hard that night and the
Headlines read
A lover died
No tell-tale heart was left to find when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight
He dropped you off, I followed him home
Then I, I stood outside his bedroom window
Standing over him, he begged me not to do
What I knew I had to do cause I'm so in love with you
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight |
