"Hurts Like Heaven" Lyrics

Featured Replies

I love these lyrics! I'll probably know them by heart before Pinkpop, I listen to this song so often:P

 

And I think:

'(something) the feeling that my life is in line'

My Try...

 

Do you ever get the Feeling that your bridging apart,

do you ever get the Feeling that your missing the Mark,

 

so cold so cold,

so cold so cold

 

You ever walked around a factory sign,

You ever get the Feeling that my life isnt mine

 

so cold so cold,

so cold so cold

 

see the hour and shot trying tear us apart,

fire from the belly and the beat from the heart,

still i wont let go,

still i wont let go

 

Yoooouuuuu,

Ohhhhh

 

you - (i think he didnt sing the line because he lost his Plektrum xD)

Oh you use your heart as a Weapon,

and it hurts like Heaven

 

Streets and Cars and a Pavement of Saints, ("The Streets are (?) and the Pavement are Saints" ?)

and now the Streets are rising and you'd rather sing,

dont let em take control,

No we wont let em take control

 

Yes, i feel a little nervous,

Yes i feel nervous and i cant relax,

im coming round gather us/get us (the following lines are the hardest to figure :S)

im coming round when they dont know the facts,

so im concrete cameras and glow in the dark,

concrete cameras ima making the mark,

armed with spray can soul

im down with the spray can soul

 

Yoooouuu

Ohhhhh

oh Yoooouuu

Ohhhhh

 

Yes you use your Heart as a Weapon

and it hurts like Heaven

 

wooahh a oh

wooahh a oh

 

Its true,

when you use your Heart as a Weapon

and it hurts like Heaven

 

 

do you ever get the feeling that your bridging apart

do you ever get the feeling that your missing the mark

 

so cold so cold

so cold so cold

 

(something something) factory sign

(something something) my life is line

 

so cold so cold

so cold so cold

 

see the hour and shot tryna tear us apart

fire from the belly and the view from the heart

still i wont let go

still i wont let go

 

yooooooou

ooooooh

you

 

oh you use your heart as a weapon

and it hurts like heaven

 

streets and cars and a pavement of saints

and now the streets are rising (something)

dont let em take control

no we wont let em take control

 

yes i feel a little bit nervous

yes i feel nervous and i cant relax

im coming round to (get this?)

im coming round when they dont know the facts

 

so im concrete cameras and glow in the dark

concrete cameras ima making the mark

 

armed with the spray can soul

im down with the spray can soul

 

yoooooooooou

oooooooooh

oh yoooooooou

oooooooooh

 

yes you use your heart as a weapon

and it hurts like heaven

 

wooahh a oh

wooahh a oh

 

its true

when you use your heart as a weapon

and it hurts like heaven

 

I think that line is: struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine

 

what do you guys think?

That would make sense :thinking: and it fits the context

:worried:

 

It should be "concrete canvas".

In the first line I'm hearing "Do you ever get the feeling you're a bridge in a park."

Not sure how that makes much sense, but that's what I'm hearing. So, I'm probably wrong.

:awesome:

 

Concrete cameras and bridges in parks . . . this is going to be one awesome song :cool:

Hey guys

 

Hopefully I can help solve some of the lyrics in the first verses. I managed to grab a couple of good screenshots of the boards in front of Will during their performance at Rock am Ring.

 

Apologies for the squishy-ness of the image, Media Player Classic decided it didn't like widescreen screenshots (!?!).

The first verse of hurts like heaven is in yellow on the right.

 

Hurts Like Heaven (First verses)

 

Written in graffiti on a bridge in a park

'Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark?'

It's so cold it's so cold

It's so cold it's so cold

 

Written up in marker on a factory sign

'I struggle with the feeling that my life isn't mine'

It's so cold it's so cold

It's so cold it's so cold

 

See the arrow that they shot trying to tear us apart

Fire from my belly and the beat from my heart

Still I won't let go

Still I won't let go

I saw some of Charlie brown there also. I want all the lyrics!

:cheesy: i was right about the first line :charming:

 

also, i really like these lyrics :wacky:

I'll see if I can decipher the rest over the course of the day. Got it on repeat at the moment (helps that this is one of my favourites of the new tracks!)

 

Also...

 

It should be "concrete canvas".

 

This is definately right. Would make more sense as the song is about graffiti, writings in graffiti etc.

You're AWESOME. The Hardest Part of this mystery is solved, now Everything's Not Lost :D

 

Ok, I quit it. But really good, thanks!

Youuuuu

Uhhhhhh

 

you - (he did not finished that)

 

Oh you use your heart as a Weapon,

and it hurts like Heaven

 

Streets and Bars and a Pavement of Saints,

and at the Streets are rising and you'd rather sing,

don't let em take control,

No we wont let em take control

 

Yes, i feel a little bit nervous,

Yes i feel nervous and i cant relax,

i'm coming round to get us

i'm coming round when they don't know the facts,

so on concrete canvas and a glow in the dark,

concrete canvas, i'm a "making a mark",

armed with a spraycan (and) soul

i am down with the spraycan (and) soul

 

Youuu

Uhhhhh

oh Youuu

Uhhhhh

 

Yes you,

you use your Heart as a Weapon,

and it hurts like Heaven

 

woooh

woooh

 

Its true,

when you,

use your Heart as a Weapon,

it hurts like Heaven.

 

you - (he did not finished that)

 

 

I think that he wanted to sing "Oh you, use your heart as a weapon" but then realised that he shouldn't yet.

Damn, what a great screenshot huds! Supersleuth!

 

definately making more sense now!

As far as i remember, he lost his Plektrum and he was looking for it, after that, i saw a stagemember going to Chris' mic and added some new ones.

So, I, almost positive that Hurts Like Heaven is going to be the first songs on LP5. The intro, all the graffiti based lyrics, seems like the perfect way to open the album up.

This is awesome. I wrote Anchorman during the photoblog several times asking for a picture like this.
