Okay, so I feel like this song is extremely overlooked by the general population. I know many who are familiar with The Strokes only because of the song "You Only Live Once," probably because of its memorable lyrics and catchy sound, but I really think the following lyrics have got to be some of the best. A bit of social and political commentary for ya. How SCARY! ;) At least you moggers can appreciate it. I can't even pick a favorite line...it's all thought-provoking and relates so well to the world we're forced to adapt to. I also love how the vocals change as the lyrics and instrumentals become increasingly tense. There are times where it's almost over-whelming, but it fits the motif so well. I actually consider most of The Strokes' songs to contain some of the most beautiful lyrics of all time...kisses to The Strokes :) hope you enjoy. IZE OF THE WORLD-THE STROKESI think I know what you mean but watch what you say'cause they'll be try to knock you down in some waySometimes it feels like the world is falling asleepHow do you wake someone up from inside a dream?
Your mind would wander and searched for its place in the nightYour body followed this feeling like following lightOnce that your music was born it followed you 'roundAnd then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud
You're sad but you smileIt not in your eyesYour eyeballs won't changeIt's the muscles around your eyes
An egg to fertilizeA pulse to stabilizeA body to deodorizeA life to scrutinizeA child to criticizeYoung adults to modernizeCitizens to terrorizeGenerations to desensitize
You're dreams are sweet and obsessedAnd your overworkedYou're overtaken by visions of being overlookedHow disappointed would D.(ead) I.(dealistic) D.(esperate) I.(nventor) P.(ioneer) P.(hilosophers)Be to see such power in our hands all wasted on greedAm I a prisoner to instincts?Or do my thoughts just liveAs free and detachedAs boats to the dock?
Just like when music was bornAnd detached from your heartIs your free time to free mindsOr for falling apart?
Night after nightYou turn out the lightYou don't fall asleep right away"Are we... are we done?"
A desk to organizeA product to advertiseA market to monopolizeMovie stars you idolizeLeaders to scandalizeEnemies to neutralizeNo time to apologizeFury to tranquilizeWeapons to synchronizeCities to vapor-i
*for some reason i can never get the mp3s to upload...so i have to post the song as a video instead...any ideas as to why the mp3s aren't working for me? in any case...
