Palace Lyrics


Palace
  • Wild Beasts close their Present Tense album with this ballad that uses the metaphor of buildings for love as Hayden Thorpe sings of finding beauty in perfection. "'Palace' is about acceptance," he explained to DIY magazine. "The closing line is perfect in that it admits that striving for perfection is the wrong cause. If you go for this, you miss all the beauty of the awkward, the ugly and the accidental."

    "There's an acceptance of the chaos; living with it and accepting it," Thorpe continued. "Early on, we always wanted 'Palace' to be the closing track." It has this air of cautious optimism. The line 'this is a palace and that was a squat' came from the realisation that I was one of many people that thinks achieving something automatically makes you a happier, better person. There's a mid twenties realisation that all of this is nonsense and counts for nothing. It's crushing. I had a realisation that I had everything I wanted, but I was living in a basement flat in Hackney; essentially a wreck. And I was paying a decent amount of rent for that. But there was an acceptance that I wouldn't change that for the world. I've lived in far prettier flats and they felt like squats. And this basement flat felt like a palace at that point."
  • Bassist Tom Fleming commented to NME: "It's a straightforward song and I like having a really big, bright song at the end."

    Come Back Around Lyrics


    Turning in to something
    Drifting off to always
    Got to pull myself back in

    Holding back the questions
    Bruised with all rejections
    Got to pull myself back in

    We've suffered the breaks
    You know I still remember it
    It keeps burning away
    I know that you may take a while
    To Come Back Around

    Come back around

    I miss you around

    Reaching out for someone
    Burning out for solo
    Got to pull myself back in

    There's no new religion
    And there's no real solution
    Got to pull myself back in

    We've suffered the breaks
    You know I still remember it
    It keeps burning away
    I know that you may take a while
    To come back around

    We've suffered the breaks
    You know I still remember it
    It keeps burning away
    I know that you may take a while
    To come back around

    Come back around

    Come back around

    Feel you're going under
    So keep on treading water
    Got to pull myself back in

    Feel no obligation
    No more indecision
    Got to pull myself back in

    We've suffered the breaks
    You know I still remember it
    It keeps burning away
    I know that you may take a while
    To come back

    We've suffered the breaks
    You know I still remember it
    It keeps burning away
    I know that you may take a while
    I know that you may take a while
    To come back around

    Never Had the Time Lyrics


    Never Had the Time
  • While coming up with the title for the Never Had the Time album, the band was sure of one thing: they couldn't name the album after its lead single... and that's exactly what they did. Singer/songwriter John Sponarski explained in our interview : "It was a bit of an interesting choice for us, I think, because I'm not sure 'Never Had the Time' is the catchiest song on the record or even what a traditional single should be. But for us it kind of embodied what we were going after for this record. It best represented what we were trying to do musically. The phrase really embodied what was going on with all of us up to the record release because we were just spread so thin trying to work enough to make enough money to be able to press this thing and do this whole thing independently."

    This Time Around Lyrics


    It's getting colder in this ditch where I lie
    I'm feeling older and I'm wondering why
    I heard they told her it was tell and live or die
    I didn't know her, but I know why she lied
    I didn't know her, but I know why she died

    [Chorus]
    You can't say I didn't give it
    I won't wait another minute
    We're on our way This Time Around
    You can't say I didn't give it
    I won't wait another minute
    We're on our way this time around

    And we won't go down

    I heard them say that dreams should stay in your head
    Well, I feel ashamed of the things that I've said
    Put on these chains and you can live a free life
    Well, I'd rather bleed just to know why I die

    [Chorus]

    And we won't go down
    And we won't go down
    And we won't go down
    And we won't go down
    All I know is that fear has got to go
    This time around

    I've started feeling like I don't want to fight
    Give in to the given and put out the light
    Cannons a-blazin' shower these moonlit skies
    Then I remember and I know why he died
    Do you know why I die?

    [Chorus: x2]

    And we won't go down
    And we won't go down
    And we won't go down

    This Time Around
  • Zac Hanson told us: "It's about fighting back, 'You can't say I didn't give it, I won't wait another minute, on our way this time around.' The story line in the song, we almost pictured it as someone in the middle of a conflict, maybe a war, and the honor of giving one's self out to say, 'I'm going to go for it all no matter what the consequences are because of what really matters. I'm not going to live a free life with chains on, I'm not going to give away my friends.' It's about that ultimate sticking it to the man."
  • This was Hanson's second studio album released on a major label. It came out three years after Middle Of Nowhere, which contained the massive hit "MMMBop."
  • Zac: "If anything, it's a statement to every artist and every musician out there just to say, 'Go for it, mean something and do something great.' Whatever that entails, that's what you should focus on." (Check out our interview with Zac Hanson.)

    As a Child Lyrics


    As a Child
  • This song is a coming-of-age tale about the loss of childhood innocence. John Sponarski , who shares duties as songwriter, lead singer and guitarist with Harold Donnelly, told us: "'As a Child' is a song about youth lost and the struggles with growing up and becoming an adult and losing that freedom you want to hang on to, at least that feeling that the possibilities are endless and that you could do anything. It's kind of coming to grips with reality."
  • Sponarski and Donnelly performed a stripped-down version of this song outside of the University of Toronto campus for a live video with Adrian Vieni of Wood & Wires Productions.

    Underneath Lyrics


    Waking up this morning
    Thinking this can't be real
    They say there is nothing love can't heal
    Why don't you come on down
    So you can feel what I feel?

    Sitting all alone in this place
    Even though we're here face to face
    There is nothing gone
    But there's something wrong

    Can't you see
    That I'm stuck here Underneath
    And you make it hard to breathe?
    Take a look around and tell me what you see
    You'll find me underneath

    I know what to say
    But don't know where to begin
    I fear I'm losing you beneath my skin
    Is there resolution for this pain that I'm in?

    Sitting all alone in this place
    Even though we're here face to face
    There is nothing gone
    But there's something wrong

    Can't you see
    That I'm stuck here underneath
    And you make it hard to breathe?
    Take a look around and tell me what you see
    You'll find me underneath
    'Cause you'll find me, whoa, underneath

    If only you could feel what I dream
    Maybe you could hear what I mean
    There is nothing gone

    But there's something missing
    Can't you see
    That I'm stuck here underneath
    And you make it hard to breathe?
    Take a look around and tell me what you see

    You'll find me underneath
    You'll find me underneath
    Underneath, underneath

    Underneath
  • The band wrote this with Matthew Sweet, a critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter who had a Modern Rock hit in 1991 with "Girlfriend." They met through a mutual friend when Hanson was working on the album, so they got together and wrote this in about 4 hours. Zac Hanson, the band's drummer, told us: "Songs can take sometimes years, songs can come together in a couple of moments. The fluidity of how that song came together with Matthew and how natural it felt to write it with him was pretty cool."
  • Zac Hanson: "Matthew came in with a chord pattern and then everybody sort of built off of that, focusing on an idea or a word or a melody part and then you sort of build out from there. It is an intense song, it's a song that I think everyone can relate to - 'Sitting all alone in this place, even though we're here face to face,' just talking about that ultimate disconnect, where you're right here, but you're not right here, and I think everyone's felt that in some form or another or will feel that in their life. It was just a meaningful song, and really a pillar for the whole album. After that song was written, just the way that song was, the way we recorded it and the sounds we used, it was a cornerstone for the whole record. That was part of the reason we called the album Underneath, in addition to the blatant meaning of a step deeper into who we are." (Check out our interview with Zac Hanson.)

    Roots Bloody Roots
  • Sepultura's most popular song, their lead singer Max Cavalara told us, "It's about believe in yourself, about be proud of your heritage, proud of where you come from. Really powerful but simple lyrics. So it's really about just be down with your own roots and believe in your roots." (Here's our full Max Cavalara interview .)
  • The riff on this song is the guitar version of a mantra, which is something repeated over and over to instill it into your consciousness. Mantras need to be simple and concise, so that's how Max Cavalara wrote the riff. "'Roots' is full of these really minimalistic ideas that were really simple and powerful. Sometimes it's the harder songs to write which are the easiest. The simplest songs are harder to write than complicated songs."

    Max adds that the song is in B tuning, and can be played on one string.
  • The title and chorus of this song are an homage to the Black Sabbath song "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath." Max Cavalara is a huge Sabbath fan, and cites Tony Iommi as his favorite riff-maker.

    Chic 'N' Stu
  • This song is about how advertising creates an artificial need for a product, in this case it is pizza. (thanks, JD - Whitebread, TX)
  • This song deals with compulsions and addictions using pizza as a metaphor. The lyrics, "What a splendid pie, pizza-pizza pie, every minute, every second, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy" relates to how if you crave something you will buy it like there's no tomorrow. (thanks, Melanie - Scarboro, MD)
  • The title refers to Los Angeles Lakers broadcasters Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz. The first verse includes a line Hearn used about the game being "In the refrigerator." This was when The Lakers had the game in control. (thanks, James - Covina, CA)
  • The original title was "Therapy" and it was among the songs that were leaked over the Internet. The band re-recorded the song under a different name, like the rest of the songs on Steal This Album! (thanks, Jim - Oxnard, CA)
  • When Daron and Serj are listing the pizza toppings, it is a common misconception that they are saying, "pepperoni, angry peppers...". They are simply saying, "pepperoni, and green peppers...". (thanks, Dax - San Diego, CA)

    The Road Lyrics


    The Road
  • Guitarist Ben Bruce told Artist Direct the story of this song. "It actually started off with the drum beat in the beginning," he said. "I had that drum beat in my head. I programmed it into my computer, and I just kept jamming it. I was like, 'This is such a cool drum beat. I want to write something to it.' That's actually how it started. We went from there."

    "If you listen to the demos of the song, it changed dramatically from where it started to how it ended up on the record," Bruce continued. "Parts were taken out. Originally, it was a lot heavier. It didn't start with the clean verse it ended up with. It took a turn in the right direction, and it's become one of my favorites for sure."

    Goodbye on the hand
    I wish that I could see you again
    I know that I can't

    Ooh

    The day you slipped away
    Was the day I found it won't be the same
    Ooh

    I had my wake up
    Won't you wake up
    I keep asking why
    And I can't take it
    It wasn't fake

    I feel your knife as it goes right in
    Cut to my core but I'm not bleeding
    All that you say trying to make me small
    Well, the bigger you get the harder you fall

    You use your words as a weapon dear
    But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

    You think that you're deep under my skin
    You're trying to keep me suffering

    If you use your words as a weapon
    Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

    You have my heart but I lock it up
    This burning flame has been burnt enough
    My window's cracked they can be replaced
    But your arm will tire throwing stones my way

    You use your words as a weapon dear
    But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

    You think that you're deep under my skin
    You're trying to keep me suffering

    If you use your words as a weapon
    Then as a weapon, I'll shed no tears

    I feel your knife as it goes right in

    You use your words as a weapon dear
    But your blades don't hurt when you have no fear

    You think that you're deep under my skin

    Words as Weapons
  • This emotive ballad was written by Birdy with OneRepublic fromtman Ryan Tedder. The pair also collaborated on Fire Within's lead single "Wings." Speaking about the song, Birdy commented: "'Words as Weapons' is one of my favourite tracks on the album and I love performing it live. I love the way the track is layered with harmonies which creates a wall of sound. I'm hugely proud of the song."
  • The song's music video was directed by Sophie Muller. The British director has also worked on music videos for Björk, Katy B and OneRepublic. Asked by The Idolator about the visuals's concept, Birdy explained: "It's obviously not the true story of the song, but I really wanted a story line. So I'm meant to be a ghost in it. An evil ghost and I'm haunting my ex-boyfriend, who isn't very nice."

    Talk Shows On Mute
  • This is about the mind-numbing effects of TV talk shows. The phrase, "Come one, Come all into 1984" is not referring to the year but to a book written by George Orwell called 1984, which is about a man living in a totalitarian oligarchy. (thanks, Will - Portland, OR)
  • Lead singer Brandon Boyd: "I was on an airplane when a talk show began playing on the TVs. I decided to start narrating for the people, which is a really great game if you're ever bored enough. I realized a time will probably come when television will watch us if we're watching it, if that hasn't already happened, figuratively or literally. It sounded like some sort of pseudo-Big Brother nightmare, so I wrote it down." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)
