Beauty In Tragedy Lyrics


There is Beauty In Tragedy
The heart won't stop beating,
For the end is a new beginning
Where sorrow pulls the skyline of reality
And restarts a love ever after
As we grasp beyond defeat

So keep us breathing a little longer a little longer
For just one moment with one another with one another
This night is falling on my hearts shame
These feelings bring tears to my eyes

Just take away my world,
Leave my side
Hear the angels sing,
As I embrace you with a warm welcome home
With a warm welcome home
Hear the angels sing
Hear the angels sing

Tomorrow, the air will be a little colder
But I'll be sure to breathe for the both of us.
And the nights
May be a little darker
But I'll be sure to carry the torch to warm the hearts
They're never gonna have to feel yours
I can hear your voice,
I can't hear your voice
But that's okay
'Cause I can feel you in my heart

I can hear your voice,
I can't hear your voice
But that's okay
'Cause I can feel you in my heart

One morning I'll wake up to you,
One morning I'll hear the angels sing.
On that morning we won't be worried about the weather
Nor will we might wither his life
While the clocks alarm.

I'll be sure to write your name in the sun
Where the waves can't wash it away

I'll be sure to write your name in the sun
Where the waves can't wash it away

Until then I'll walk,
Until then I'll breathe in your name!
Never surrender the dream you had for this world to love, to forgive
To make something out of nothing!

I will feel you, I will hear you forever!

Beauty In Tragedy
  • This song finds vocalist Jake Luhrs singing about the tragedy of the passing of a loved one being softened by the anticipation of their eternal reunion. Guitarist and principal songwriter JB Brubaker told The Alternative Press: "Rumor has it Jake may have shed a tear while doing the vocals over the clean section in the middle. I wasn't there so I can neither confirm nor deny."

    Rock N Roll Lyrics


    Let 'em know that we're still Rock N Roll

    Don't know how to keep my mouth shut

    Rock N Roll
  • This upbeat pop-punk song is a boisterous declaration of rebellion on which Lavigne sings of putting up her "middle finger to the sky" to "let 'em know that we're still rock and roll." The tune was the second cut to be lifted from the Canadian singer's eponymous fifth studio album.
  • The track was produced by Max Martin (Britney Spears, Katy Perry) and co-written by Lavigne with her husband Chad Kroeger, Dr. Luke protégé Jacob Kasher, David Hodges from Evanescence, and Peter Svensson from The Cardigans.
  • The song's music video was directed by Chris Marrs Piliero (Britney Spears, Kesha) and shot on July 21, 2013. The comic book-style clip, which was was inspired by the 1995 cult film Tank Girl, finds Lavigne battling a bearshark as well as engaging in a post-car crash kiss with Danica McKellar. The actress turned New York Times bestselling author and mathematician is best known for playing Winnie, the girl fancied by Kevin Arnold on the late-'80s coming-of-age sitcom The Wonder Years. The visual also features Sid Wilson from the band Slipknot, whilst Titanic actor Billy Zane shows up in the finale sequence on a Segway. Lavigne described the clip to Billboard magazine as "a post-apocalyptic comic book adventure." She added: "I didn't want to just make a standard music video. I wanted to step it up."
  • At the beginning of the video, Avril harkens back to her 2002 song "Sk8er Boi" when she tells a caller, "How much more obvious can I make it - he was a boy, she was a girl."

    F--k Out My Face
  • This track is a collaboration with the West Coast gangsta newcomer A$ton Matthews, Cypress Hill rapper B-Real, and two of the three surviving members of the Queens-bred group Onyx. Ferg told MTV News that Onyx, whose hardcore sound presaged A$AP Mob a generation ago, reminds him a lot of the New York Hip-Hop collective where he first made his name and he was pleased that he managed to pull two of the group's members Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr for this cut. "Sticky and Fredro, they hang out a lot all the time. They're brothers. They just be everywhere together. They're still wild," he said. "They remind me of us, A$AP. They remind me of A$AP. So we had a lot of moments where we weren't even working, we were just going over like old stories."

    Doing Time Lyrics


    The lives of some men
    If walls can taught to spills the lies
    We'll see the world through devil's eyes

    I maintain an addiction
    Been known to take it too high
    I gotta a inch with a loaded head trigger
    And a one way ticket to fly

    When there's no writing on the wall
    I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
    And I don't need no lessons
    After all
    Everybody's doing their time

    Caught your eye in the corner,
    Don't you look at me wrong
    Fucked up and thrown into the gutter,
    gotta fix what don't belong

    I see the writing on the wall
    I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
    And I don't need no lessons
    After all
    Everybody's doing their time

    That's just a price to play
    So tell me what you like
    Gotta hand on the kerosene match tonight, right

    Had enough of opinions
    I got enough on my mind
    Sell your soul for approval and a dollar
    Got a pretty little body to grind

    I see your number on the wall
    I see the lifeless devils start to crawl
    I don't need no lessons
    Watch the fall
    You lost my attention
    After all
    Everybody's doing their time, time

    Doing Time
  • Hail To The King was produced by Mike Elizondo. The Los Angeles producer and songwriter is best known for his Hip-Hop collaborations with artists such as Eminem and 50 Cent. He previously worked with Avenged Sevenfold on their 2010 album Nightmare. Guitarist Synyster Gates told MusicRadar.com it was Elizondo who suggested this track. "He was hearing a kind of low vocal, swagger-based rock song," he explained, "sort of a quintessential '80s or '90s vibe but with a very modern approach. It's a bad freight train that never stops."
  • The song is about the band going to their favorite bar (Johnny's Saloon in Huntingdon Beach, Orange County, California) and getting themselves in trouble. Vocalist M. Shadows explained to Kerrang! magazine: "It's about the prison in your mind - the prison of going there to drink away your problems. Everybody's in the same mind-set there and everybody's doing their time. For us, it was a metaphor about being trapped in your own head and using devices to even that out and make it better."

    "We went to Johnny's a lot during the making of this record," he continued." It's a place where we wrote (2003's) Waking The Fallen and (2005's) City Of Evil too. Every night when we'd finished writing, we'd go and have a drink. We kind of got away from that with the white album (their self-titled 2007 record) and (2010's) Nightmare. It's one of those places that's like a family there, so we tried to get back to that a little bit on the record."

    Requiem Lyrics


    Prodigia, comploratus
    Silens, oro
    Regnet exitium

    Days of warning
    Night brings morning
    My prayers worthless
    Heaven is burning down

    I walk stricken
    Pitch black vision
    Oh one, save me
    Caress my weary eyes

    Darkest Lord
    Your mercy shall I gain
    Strike the match
    Engulf the earth in flames

    In flames
    In flames
    In flames

    Nature quaking
    Prophets aching
    I kneel faithful
    Damnation cracks the sky

    My heart fiction
    Superstition
    Your grace deathless
    Give life to my last breath

    Darkest Lord
    Your mercy shall I gain
    Strike the match
    Engulf the Earth in flames

    In flames
    In flames
    In flames

    Prodigia, comploratus
    Silens, oro
    Regnet, exitium

    Rise from ashes
    Violence clashes my soul vacant
    Cleanse me of all this sin

    I stand guilty
    I bleed filthy
    Born of fire
    Savor this final hour

    Darkest Lord
    Your mercy shall I gain
    Strike the match
    Engulf the Earth in flames

    In flames
    In flames
    In flames

    Requiem
  • Vocalist M Shadows told Kerrang! magazine: "We wanted to make an evil requiem instead of all those ones about, 'Oh Lord, save me.' This one is about the dark lord coming to save you and resurrecting Hell to do it. It's a crazy, out-of-control piece of music with orchestras, strings and all sorts of madness."
  • Guitarist Synyster Gates told MusicRadar.com that they wanted this song's foundation, "to be a metal band's approach to classical orchestration." He explained: "Matt's vocal is more like a lead violin part, and when my guitar chugs underneath the riff, it's almost like what low brass would do. We layered each element very carefully, and the result is one of the more cinematic tracks on the record."

    Heretic Lyrics


    As they search for blood
    All eyes descend on one
    Honest man in chains
    But that don’t matter anyway
    My judgement day

    My flesh will feed the demon
    No trial, no case for reason
    I've been chosen to pay with my life
    Mad men define what mad is
    Turning witches and saints to ashes
    Rising masses marching to find Heretic blood.

    Impose your will on me
    'Til fire sets me free
    The flames of hell burn bright
    My fate decided by their lies
    Final demise

    My flesh will feed the demon
    No trial, no case for reason
    I've been chosen to pay with my life
    Mad men define what mad is
    Turning witches and saints to ashes
    Rising masses marching to find heretic
    Heretic blood

    Please, don’t leave me
    Please, don’t leave me like this
    I’ve walked a fragile line and I’ve fallen down
    Please, don’t leave me

    My flesh will feed the demon now
    No trial, no case for reason
    I've been chosen to pay with my life
    Mad men define what mad is
    Turning witches and saints to ashes
    Rising masses marching to find heretic

    Heretic
  • This was the first song that Avenged Sevenfold wrote for Hail to the King, hence it being a throwback to band's traditional sound. Guitarist Synyster Gates told MusicRadar.com : "It's a little progressive, but we wanted to maintain some space in the arrangement so the drums could shine and the riffs and vocals could breathe."

    He added: "This is a lot of guitar, though, some big moments. If you're not the biggest groove fan – and it you're not, you should be – there's still a progressive element. So it's a mix, this song, and it worked out really well."
  • Vocalist M. Shadows is singing here about religious fanaticism and witch hunts. He explained to Kerrang! magazine: "To me, this is about the Salem Witch Trials. It's about the West Memphis Three. It's about being put in jail for life for the clothes you wear and because you have long hair. And it's all based on religion and fantasy, when no-one can just look at the facts for what they are, because they're completely clouded by their love of their religious beliefs. That song is a step back to say, 'You don't have to be at someone's door, ready to burn them without giving them a chance to explain themselves."

    Planets
  • Lyrically, this song is the precursor to Hail To The King's closing track, "Acid Rain." Guitarist Synyster Gates explained to MusicRadar.com : "It's about a meteoric, intergalactic war that results in an apocalypse and the human species aligning together to go fight something much better than us, our individual trials and tribulations."

    Gates added: "Musically, the song was incredibly difficult to write and pull off – the elements of dissonance, tension and resolution. We wanted to have that friction throughout, but it still had to be palatable; it couldn't be like listening to Penderecki or Stockhausen. There had to be a relatability and connectability to it."
  • Vocalist M.Shadows commented to Kerrang! magazine: "This song is an intergalactic Darth Vader type thing – it's like the Imperial March with horns and a pure metal attack."

    Shadow Lyrics


    I was six years old
    When my parents ran away
    I was stuck inside a broken life
    I couldn't wish away
    She was beautiful
    She had everything and more
    And my escape was hiding out and running for the door

    Somebody listen please
    It used to be so hard being me
    Living in the Shadow
    Of someone else's dream
    Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
    Living in a nightmare
    A never-ending sleep
    But now that I am wide awake
    My chains are finally free
    Don't feel sorry for me

    All the days collided
    One less perfect than the next
    I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
    Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
    That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity

    So if you're listening
    There's so much more to me you haven't seen
    Living in the shadow
    Of someone else's dream
    Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
    Living in a nightmare
    A never-ending sleep
    But now that I am wide awake
    Then I can finally see
    Don't feel sorry for me

    Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
    Everything's cool now
    Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
    Everything's cool now
    Oh, my life is good
    I've got more than anyone should
    Oh, my life is good
    And the past in the past

    I was living in the shadow
    Of someone else's dream
    Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
    I'm living in a new day
    I'm living it for me
    And now that I am wide awake
    Then I can finally be
    Don't feel sorry for me
    Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
    Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me

    Living in, living in, living in the shadow
    Living in, living in, living in a new day

On her appearance on Live With Regis And Kelly, Simpson said: "It's really about dealing with myself and dealing with the voice in your head that's like, 'Oh, everything has to be so perfect, and I have to be like this,' and finding my identity and saying, 'OK, you know, this is who I am, you know, imperfections and all, and I love myself for me, and here I am.'"

    Boyfriend
  • The lyrics of the song consist of Simpson insisting to another girl that "You really got it wrong, I didn't steal your boyfriend." Simpson has denied rumors that the song refers to an alleged relationship with actor Wilmer Valderrama, ex-boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan, saying It's a song making fun of how every girl out there sometimes thinks you stole her boyfriend.
  • The video starts off with police pursuing Simpson in a car chase. Eventually she evades them and reaches a junkyard, where she and her band perform the song before a crowd of young people. At the end of the video Simpson jumps into the arms of Efren Ramirez (who plays "Pedro" in the movie Napoleon Dynamite) and he carries her away.
  • Ashlee Simpson told Associated Content about this song: "It's about taking something real life and making fun of it, making it fun. There was some Hollywood drama a couple years ago and I just to hell with it and wrote about what was going on."

    Ring My Bell
  • This was one of first hit songs to feature a synthesized drum. The hook was the synthesized drum of Carl Marsh, which produced a sound that became copied by many other disco records.
  • This was written by Ward's producer Frederick Knight, who is known for his 1972 hit "I've Been Lonely For So Long." He originally intended it for 11-year-old Stacy Lattishaw, but when she signed with a different label, Ward was asked to sing it instead. She disliked the song and only recorded it as Frederick Knight insisted they needed another dance number on the album.
  • Ward started out as a Memphis gospel singer. This was her only hit.
  • This song required three studios, four engineers, two remixers and a 'midnight mix by Richie Rivera' as well as the production of Frederick Knight to produce its innovative sound. Knight also provided backing vocals.
  • DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince (Will Smith) recorded a rap version in 1991 that made #20 US.
  • Rapper Snoop Dogg disclosed to Clash magazine that this was the first record that he ever bought.

    Day Dream
  • This song from Alexandra Burke's NewRules EP finds the X Factor winner hitting out at her former boyfriend, footballer Jermaine Defoe. The singer ended her relationship with the England striker in 2012 after it was alleged he cheated on her with a model:

    "Millions of people and me, one.
    And I'm feeling I'm the last to know.
    Our private network we built became a best-seller show.
    What were you thinking at the time when you decided to sleep with her?
    It didn't stop there, this I know, 'cos the papers f--king told me so."

    Burke told The Mirror: "Working on this new material has been really emotional. I've opened up lyrically more than ever and talked about things I never thought I would. But I always write from the heart."

    Time Passages Lyrics


    It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
    All round the day was going down slow
    Night like a river beginning to flow
    I felt the beat of my mind go
    Drifting into Time Passages
    Years go falling in the fading light
    Time passages
    Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

    Well I'm not the kind to live in the past
    The years run too short and the days too fast
    The things you lean on are the things that don't last
    Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
    Time passages
    There's something back here that you left behind
    Oh time passages
    Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

    Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn
    Don't know why you should feel
    That there's something to learn
    It's just a game that you play

    Well the picture is changing
    Now you're part of a crowd
    They're laughing at something
    And the music's loud
    A girl comes towards you
    You once used to know
    You reach out your hand
    But you're all alone, in these
    Time passages
    I know you're in there, you're just out of sight
    Time passages
    Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

    Time Passages
  • Al Stewart didn't like this song. Here's what he said in an interview with acousticstorm.com: "I'll tell you a funny story. I have never really cared for that song I know it was a big hit and all that. It was just one of those things where the record company asked me to write something that sounded like "Year Of The Cat" and we ended up doing that. But I didn't realize truly how bad a song it was until one day I was in an elevator and I was listening to what I thought was Muzak. About 30 seconds went by, and I finally began to recognize it and said to myself, 'This sounds pretty horrible.' Then, horror of horrors, I heard my voice come on, it actually was the record. So I'm thinking, 'Oh my God what have I done, this is terrible!' Hopefully in the last 25 years I've redeemed myself with other things, but "Time Passages" has just never thrilled me."
  • Stewart wrote this with the guitarist Peter White, who started touring as a member of Stewart's band in 1975 and collaborated with him for the next 20 years. In June 2010, Peter told us: "Al and I wrote this song together in 1977. I had come up with the electric piano riff which starts the song and together we put together the verse and the chorus, based on that recurring riff. There was no attempt or even conversation about writing anything similar to 'Year Of The Cat' which Al wrote with Peter Wood. The words and melody were mostly from Al and the musical bed and instrumental breaks were mostly my ideas and even if Al says he doesn't like the song, he has been playing it onstage consistently for the last 32 years! As soon as we added the saxophone in the studio there were obvious comparisons to YOTC. (The saxophonist was Phil Kenzie, who had also played the stellar solo on YOTC). But to say that the song was written to satisfy the record company - that was an issue that never even came up! And yes I'm very proud of this song, which still gets radio airplay every day!"

    There's all sorts of shapes, that I bet you can make
    When you want to escape say the word

    Well I know that getting you alone isn't easy to do
    With the exception of you I dislike everyone in the room
    And I don't wanna lie, but I don't wanna tell you the truth
    Get the sense that you're on the move
    And you'll probably be leaving soon, so I'm telling you

    Stop the world 'cause I wanna, get off, with you
    Stop the world 'cause I wanna, get off, with you.

    Eyes the colour of, (Water left in mud)
    Icing sugar dust. (Crazy green flashes)
    It's a funny thing, that I cannot explain
    Don't you know the train keeps a-rolling?

    Stop the world cause I wanna, get off, with you
    Stop the world cause I wanna, get off, with you.

    Well I know that getting you alone isn't easy to do
    And I don't wanna lie, and I don't wanna tell you the truth
    And I know we got places to go, we got people to see
    Think we both oughta put 'em on hold and I know you agree

    Stop the world 'cause I wanna, get off, with you
    Stop the world 'cause I wanna, get off, with you.

    I Want It All
  • The Arctic Monkeys have a formula for creating their tunes, which includes making the sound and then penning the lyrics afterwards. Vocalist Alex Turner told NME about the creation of this song: "It was quite early on, that one," he said. "We were messing around with this four-track cassette recorder, and he (Jamie Cook) was playing this riff, so we recorded five minutes of that and I wrote melodies and lyrics over the top. That became a formula, almost - we recorded instrumentals on this four-track and then I'd sit with my headphones on and write."
  • The song was debuted by the band on the UK XFM radio station on September 2, 2013.
  • This borrows backing vocals from Marvin Gaye's "'Sexual Healing."

    Fireside Lyrics


    I can't explain but I want to try
    There's this image of you and I
    And it goes dancing by in the morning and in the night time

    There's all these secrets that I can't keep
    Like in my heart there's that hotel suite and you lived there so long,
    It's kinda strange now you're gone

    I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found
    Has it gone for good?
    Or is it coming back around?
    Isn't it hard to make up your mind?
    When you're losing and your fuse is Fireside

    There's all those places we used to go
    And I suspect you already know
    But that place on memory lane you liked still looks the same
    But something about it's changed

    I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found
    Has it gone for good?
    Or is it coming back around?
    Isn't it hard to make up your mind?
    When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

    And I thought I was yours forever
    Maybe I was mistaken but I just cannot manage to make it through the day
    Without thinking of you lately

    I'm not sure if I should show you what I've found
    Has it gone for good?
    Or is it coming back around?
    Isn't it hard to make up your mind?
    When you're losing and your fuse is fireside

    Fireside
  • This was the one AM track that wasn't recorded in California. Alex Turner was asked by Q magazine if the LP will serve as the group's "big LA record." He replied: "It's funny you should ask, because our label boss heard the song 'Fireside' and told me it's the most Californian song I'd written."

    "And of course, that was the one I'd written in London. What I realize now is that, whatever we try, it always sounds like the Arctic Monkeys."
  • Former Coral member Bill Ryder-Jones contributed additional guitar to this tune. Alex Turner said to Q magazine of the guitarist. "He got us out of a corner there with 'Fireside.' I kept spoiling it with my sheddery and he came in with his guitar. He's a melancholy solo specialist!"
  • Q magazine told Alex Turner that the song sounds quite romantic. Turner replied: "'Fireside' is the same song as 'Do I Wanna Know?' in terms of what it's saying,. They've both got a sort of 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' quality. It's just how you tell 'em."

    Knee Socks Lyrics


    You got the lights on in the afternoon
    And the nights are drawn out long
    And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
    With a cough drop coloured tongue
    And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
    And I thought you might be mine
    In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
    In the right place and time

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
    When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
    When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
    And your Knee Socks

    Well you cured my January blues
    Yeah you made it all alright
    I got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse
    That you were trying not to light
    You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
    'Cause I had nothing to lose
    When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
    Ain't it funny what you'll do

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
    When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
    When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
    And your knee socks

    The late afternoon
    The ghost in your room that you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots
    Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your
    Knee socks

    You and me could have been a team
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat
    Like the beginning of mean streets
    You could be my baby

    You and me could have been a team
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat
    Like the beginning of mean streets
    You could be my baby

    You and me could have been a team
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat
    Like the beginning of mean streets
    You could be my baby

    You and me could have been a team
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat
    Like the beginning of mean streets
    You could be my baby

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
    When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
    When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
    And your knee socks

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

  • Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme sings on both this tune and another AM track, "One For The Road." Homme produced half of Arctic Monkeys' 2009 album Humbug, and vocalist Alex Turner lent backing vocals to QOTSA's ...Like Clockwork track "If I Had A Tail." Turner told BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe that Homme's appearance on the album was both casual and potentially unusual. "The Josh thing was very much a case of one of us returning a back scratch to the other," he said. "He came down and sort of got us out of a little rut. It's just fun, it's friends, extended family now - [they] came round, had a fun night. His contribution to our record is really exciting, it's probably my favorite. The 30 seconds that he's in there is just, I dunno, it's like something that I've never heard before."
  • Turner told NME about Homme's contribution to this song: "I think he sounds a bit like Bowie. It's my favourite bit of the record, that breakdown; that 30 seconds where it all goes weird," he said. "What's most interesting about it is how accidental it was - I'd sung on the new Queens record a few weeks previous, and we were kind of in a rut a little bit, in this dark rooms. So Josh came down, Nick (O'Malley, bass) made cocktails and we just hung out for the night. We got him to sing on 'One For The Road' and then we were playing him 'Knee Socks,' because we'd just been working on it. We were thinking about putting someone on that section, possibly to do the bit that the three of us were originally doing, which is this really fast R&B bit. But then he heard it and then he said, 'I've got this really great idea for a counter-melody background thing,' and he went and did that and it suddenly became this whole other thing that you never excited it to be. I think it kind of makes the tune. Suddenly, we were out of the rut and re-energised - Josh saved the day!"

    I Hope You Suffer
  • This dark love ballad finds Davey Havok unleashing some inner angst as he proclaims to an ex lover:

    "I faced destruction and you just killed me and walked away
    I gave my heart to the cruel now it will not beat again
    I hope you do
    I hope you suffer
    I hope you do
    Just like I suffered."

    The song also contains a melodic breakdown in which Havok exercises some demons.
  • Guitarist Jake Puget came to Havok with the the majority of the body of the song's music written. The vocalist recalled to Loudwire : "He came and sat down with me and I read the top line to the verse and we just weren't happy with the chorus and we kept putting it aside and coming back to it and altering the chorus. Jade would go home sometimes and three weeks later he'd come back and be like, 'Oh, I worked on the chorus again' and there's almost this new part and we ended up where we were at but it took us awhile for us to realize that."
  • The cinematic video was directed by Surround and shot in black and white with gray tones. The clip took just one day to film, and was shot at Highland Park, Los Angeles.
  • This song features a piano part, which is unusual for AFI but not unique (The Sing The Sorrow track, "Silver And Cold" also includes some tinkering of the ivories). Guitarist Jade Puget explained to Noisecreep : "On the verse of that song which is a big part of the song there's no guitar at all, it's just piano and the sound in the background is actually a distorted brass, like a brass section. I was trying to create some layers that are a little different, left of center from what we're doing and take my guitar completely out it. It lends to spaciousness and really creates a bed for his vocal to sit where it's not like, cause guitars can take up a lot of space, so he has a lot of space to do that dynamic vocal."

  • During a June 2012 video interview, Ariana described her debut album as being "'50s, '60s Doo-Wop-inspired." Later in the year, she met up with her label and expressed dissatisfaction with the direction the album was taking. Ariana expressed a desire instead to make the type of '90s urban Pop music she grew up listening to. Most of the previously finished songs for the record were scrapped, except for this song, "Tattooed Heart" and "Honeymoon Avenue," which were all reworked from their original Doo-Wop sound to one with a turn of the century Pop feel.
  • The album was originally titled after this song but it was renamed Yours Truly after Ariana decided that the LP felt like a love letter she wanted to sign.

    Reflektor Lyrics


    Trapped in a prism, in a prism of light
    Alone in the darkness, darkness of white
    We fell in love, alone on a stage
    In the reflective age

    Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore
    Entre les royaumes, des vivants et des morts
    If this is heaven
    I don't know what it’s for
    If I can’t find you there
    I don't care

    I thought, I found a way to enter
    It’s just a Reflektor (It's just a reflektor)
    I thought, I found the connector
    It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor)

    Now, the signals we send, are deflected again
    We're still connected, but are we even friends?
    We fell in love when I was nineteen
    And I was staring at a screen

    Entre la nuit, la nuit et l’aurore
    Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts
    If this is heaven
    I need something more
    Just a place to be alone
    'Cause you're my home

    I thought, I found a way to enter
    It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor)
    I thought, I found the connector
    It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor) Just a reflektor

    It’s just a reflektor (It's just a reflektor)

    (Just a reflektor, just a reflektor)
    (Just a reflektor, just a reflektor)

    Just a reflection, of a reflection
    Of a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection
    Will I see you on the other side? (Just a reflektor)
    We all got things to hide (Just a reflektor)
    It’s just a reflection of a reflection
    Of a reflection, of a reflection, of a reflection
    Will I see you on the other side? (Just a reflektor)
    We all got things to hide (Just a reflektor)

    Alright, let's go back
    Our song escapes, on little silver discs
    Our love is plastic, we'll break it to bits
    I want to break free, but will they break me?
    Down, down, down, don't mess around

    I thought, I found a way to enter

    Thought you would bring to me the resurrector

  • The song was produced by James Murphy, who is best known for his work with LCD Soundsystem. It features backing vocals by David Bowie, who has been a fan of Arcade Fire for many years. Win Butler once said of their famous supporter, "I remember when we first met David Bowie and he said, 'You'll definitely be big in the UK.' He was always enthusiastic about the band."
  • The black and white video was directed by Anton Corbijn who has famously shot visuals and photos for U2, The Killers and Depeche Mode. It features the band wearing oversized papier-mâché heads sat in the back of a truck, which is being driven by Win Butler and his wife/ co-vocalist Régine Chassagne.
  • A second interactive video directed by regular collaborator Vincent Morisset was also released. It was filmed on location in Haiti, the childhood home of Regine Chassagne.
  • Chassagne sings a couple of lines in her native French, which translates as:

    "Between the night, night and dawn.
    Between the kingdom of the living and the dead."
  • The album cover is an image of Auguste Rodin's sculpture of Orpheus and Eurydice.
  • Multi-instrumentalist Richard Reed Parry told NME how Bowie ended up singing backing vocals. "It was just after The Next Day had come out," he explained. "He basically just came by the studio in New York while we were mixing, just to have a listen to the stuff we were doing. He offered to lend us his services because he really liked the song. In fact, he basically threatened us - he was like, 'If you don't hurry up and mix this song, I might just steal it from you!' So we thought, well why don't we go one better, why don't you sing on our version? Thankfully he obliged, and we were really happy about that."
  • Multi-instrumentalist Will Butler told Jam! Music that his brother and sister-in-law wrote the song with a third vocalist in mind. "When Win and Regine were writing the song ... he had kind of pictured this third point of view cause Reflektor is this back and forth between two characters," he explained. "And I forget how it happened (but) we were in town mixing Reflektor in New York and (Bowie) was going to come by. And I was like, 'Well, David Bowie is a really good outside perspective,' and like apropos, not totally random. Like kind of in the spirit of some of the (late '70s-early '80s dance flavoured) music that we were making that it felt aesthetically appropriate also."
  • Though David Bowie doesn't appear in the song's music clip, his likeness does. "There is a David Bowie mask, in the very last second of the film, of the video," Will Butler explained, "that creepy mask that Win is wearing is in fact a David Bowie mask."
  • Speaking with The Sun, Win Butler recalled the time the band spent recording with Bowie: "What was cool was that we were mixing at Electric Lady studios in New York," he said. "The line he does on 'Reflektor' echoes the line he does on 'Fame,' the song he recorded in the very same studio with John Lennon. So he showed up and said, 'The last time I was here I was recording with John Lennon.' And we looked at each other to say, 'And here you are recording with Arcade Fire."
  • The song finds Win Butler singing lines like, "We fell in love when I was 19, now we're staring at a screen." He told Rolling Stone: "It's not like I'm romanticizing it. I think that life is incredibly difficult and it's more amazing to see people that don't have access to food or clean water throw a party. It's not like I'm trying to sing about their experiences. I was more learning from what I saw and applying it to my own life, lyrically. I'm not trying to tell other people's stories. We're just trying to allow an experience to change you."

    One For The Road Lyrics


    One For The Road, ooh ooh
    One for the road, ooh ooh

    From the bottom of your heart
    The relegation zone
    I saw this coming from the start
    The shake, rattle and roll
    The cracks in blackout blinds
    Cast patterns on the ceiling but you're feeling fine
    I thought it was dark outside
    I thought it was dark outside

    So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
    There's no need to show me round baby, I feel like I've been in here before
    I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go,
    Will you pour me one for the road?

    I knew this would be on the cards
    I knew you wouldn't fold
    I saw this coming from the start
    The shake, rattle and roll

    One for the road, ooh ooh

    So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
    There's no need to show me round baby, I feel like I've been in here before
    I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go,
    Will you pour me one for the road?

    The mixture hits you hard
    Don't get that sinking feeling, don't fall apart
    Some out of tune guitar
    Soundtrack to disaster

    Ooh ooh, one for the road
    Ooh ooh, one for the road
    Ooh ooh, one for the road
    Ooh ooh, one for the road

    So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
    There's no need to show me round baby, I feel like I've been in here before
    I've been wondering whether later when you tell everybody to go,
    Will you pour me one for the road?

    One For The Road
  • This is a track from the Arctic Monkeys fifth studio album, AM. The song was debuted on September 2, 2013, during Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.
  • Frontman Alex Turner described AM's sound to NME as, "like a Dr. Dre beat, but we've given it an Ike Turner bowl-cut and sent it galloping across the desert on a Stratocaster." Turner also cited the music of Outkast, and Aaliyah as helping to shape the LP. This song's R&B feel reflects the aforementioned musicians influences on the record.
  • Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme delvers soulful backing vocals on both this tune and another AM track, "Knee Socks." Homme sung using a tequila bottle he'd just emptied as an echo chamber.
  • The phrase "One For The Road" refers to a final drink before leaving home to fortify one for the journey ahead. The expression and practice has fallen victim to the increasing enforcement of drink-driving over the past few decades.
  • The black-and-white video represents the Arctic Monkeys individual take on Americana as we see them perform the song in a field, amidst a gaggle of models. It starts with guitarist Jamie Cook slowly riding a tractor as he makes his way to the band's gig clad in a 3-piece suit. The clip was directed by Focus Creeps, who also made the visuals for "R U Mine?" and "Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?"
  • The song's guitar solo was originally on "Fireside." Turner told NME: "It was on there in a different key, but it didn't really seem to fit."
