bluexylophone Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 is it just me or does the "unfold" that everyone hears sound like "unfove", which i know isn't even a word. i just swear i hear a "fff" sound in there. it sounds like unfold until that 'fff'. unless my hearing is awful. haha. that's the only line i'm hung up on. i'm sticking to "my love's like ____ that _____" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeneyes1207 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 here it is with the new unfold part.... Was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow White snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future's architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You'd better lie low If you love me Won't you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And the fog Became God Priests clutched onto bibles Hollowed out to fit their rifles And the cross was held aloft Bury me in honor When I’m dead and hit the ground My love is opposed when unfold If you love me Won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship With snow, far below If you love me Why'd you let me go? I took my love down to Violet Hill There we sat in snow All that time she was silent still So if you love me Won't you let me know? If you love me, Won't you let me know?

Guest LiquidSky Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 wow. you guys have been working hard on the lyrics! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just registered to correct one line.. after Bury me in honor When I’m dead and hit the ground.. The following line is "My love is opposed when unfold". Checked plenty of times.. Hope you correct it are you sure? I listened to it in half speed over and over and it doesn't seem to fit. and to me it sounds sorta like he's saying armor, not honor. unless he's just saying honor sort of sloppily. again I listened to it in half speed numerous times...

RunForTheHills Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm hearing this: I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship Which is down, far below Does anyone else hear this? I don't think "With snow" makes sense in that context anyway. And yeah, I'm fully open to the idea that he's saying "armour", and not "honour". Both would fit anyway.

Mimixxx Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah maybe, is hard to get it because "sinking ship" is sort of squeezed in so that line is rushed slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm hearing this: I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship Which is down, far below Does anyone else hear this? I don't think "With snow" makes sense in that context anyway. And yeah, I'm fully open to the idea that he's saying "armour", and not "honour". Both would fit anyway. i just had yet another listen, and i don't think the line is "with snow" because it doesn't fit at all, but i can't say i think it sounds like "which is down," even though i wish it did. i like it that way! and it sounds like "armor," i must say, but yet again i like "honor" better. ok, and i really don't think the line is: When I'm dead and hit the ground A love back home Unfolds i think the bit in bold MUST be different, but i don't know how. might i once again express my love for the political vibe in these lyrics? I LOVE THE POLITICAL VIBE IN THESE LYRICS. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraceOddity Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Sounds like he's saying 'armour' to me too, and it fits, although I like th line 'lay me down with honour'. MAybe I'll use it,lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE THE POLITICAL VIBE IN THESE LYRICS. :P Yeah I was thinking "with snow" made no sense, but it doesnt' sound like anything else! :( and yeah a love back home is wrong. I think something like: "my love's last poem that unfolds" "a love wrapped poem that unfolds" all I know that "love" and "unfold" is in there somewhere...

SamH Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I don't want be a soldier With the captain of a sinking ship Would stow, far below Maybe... I haven't read all of this thread so if someone has said it already i apologize, but that line comes from Bucket for a Crown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 "I don't want to be a soldier With the captain of some sinking ship With snow, far below" I don't think so...SamH's version is a lot closer. I think it's this, which makes a lot more sense: "I don't want to be a soldier Who the captain of some sinking ship Would stow, far below" I still can't get the line with "Unfolds" in it, though...oddly it sounds more like "Unfurled" to me. "[but/Our] love's a [something] that unfurled"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzling Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hehe, this is fun. Seems like the puzzle is almost solved. I now think I hear "pulled" or "appalled" in the much discussed line "bury me ...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I now think I hear "pulled" or "appalled" in the much discussed line "bury me ...". ...I think you're right! Something like this? It sounds about right and it even makes sense, sort of: "But loves are pulled, and unfurled"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have no idea what I was epecting, but these lyrics aren't what I expected at all, they're just incredible. The images I'm getting in my head from them, stunning. Prospket commented on his lyrcis a while back, and I'm seeing what he meant now. I really can't wait to see what else Chris has come up with.

RunForTheHills Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah I was thinking "with snow" made no sense, but it doesnt' sound like anything else! :( and yeah a love back home is wrong. I think something like: "my love's last poem that unfolds" "a love wrapped poem that unfolds" all I know that "love" and "unfold" is in there somewhere... I think you're pretty close there. An I've been hearing "that" before "unfold", too. I reckon the full sentence is something like: "and love's like poems, that unfold" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 so is this what we have so far? was a long and dark december from the rooftops i remember there was snow white snow clearly i remember from the windows they were watching while we froze down below when the future's architectured by a carnival of idiots on show you'd better lie low if you love me won't you let me know? was a long and dark december when the banks became cathedrals and the fog became God priests clutched onto bibles hollowed out to fit their rifles and the cross was held aloft bury me in armor when i'm dead and hit the ground a love wrapped poem unfolds (highly debatable!) if you love me won't you let me know? I don't want to be a soldier who the captain of some sinking ship with stow, far below so if you love me why'd you let me go? i took my love down to violet hill there we sat in snow all that time she was silent still so if you love me won't you let me know? if you love me, won't you let me know?

Puzzling Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm really struggling to hear the "m" if it's "poem(s)". Sounds like a "l" to me. guyy: My mother tongue is not English, so I'm not 100% sure if it makes sense. But it sounds very close to me! Gotta go to bed. Maybe the mystery is solved when I log back on tomorrow? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
