It's A Beautiful Lie
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 07:54 AM by Breeze54
It's A Beautiful Lie

- 30 Seconds To Mars


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EcX4OtLWVs

A BEAUTIFUL LIE


Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your lies Do you want to be different? (Different...)
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
’Cause this is just a game

It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me

It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last (happened last)
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game

It's a beautiful lie
It's a perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me

Lie....Beautiful

Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game

(LLLLLIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE)So beautiful, beautiful... X4


It's a beautiful lie ---
It's a perfect denial ---(So beautiful, beautiful)
Such a beautiful lie to believe in ---
So beautiful, beautiful lie makes me

1. The Kill...
'The Kill'

www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF1wZQzpeKA

30 Seconds To Mars

What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do? (Oh, oh)
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you

What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you (from you)

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am.

Ah, ah
Oh, oh
Ah, ah

Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you.
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

Come break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)

(You say you wanted more)
What if I wanted to break...?
(What are you waiting for?)
Bury me, bury me
(I'm not running from you)
What if I
What if I
What if I
What if I
Bury me, bury me....

2. BLOOD ON MY HANDS
BLOOD ON MY HANDS

By 32 Leaves


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzFaN3R-e_g

Closed in around me
The walls are like enemies
Trying to trap me inside
You are the same with your devious inklings
Trying to take me for mine

Well I don’t know what you want from me
I’ve given you everything
Even the air I breathe
And I don’t know what you’re trying to prove
I’ve got nothing left to lose
Either way
I know I’m only

Giving away the guilt in me
Giving away complicity
The feeling is surreal but the blood’s still on my hands

Guilty I may be but you’re the epitome
Blaming the world for your crimes
Soon comes the ending where I’ll be left standing
Alone here to die
On my time

Well I don’t know what you want from me
I’ve given you everything
Even the air I breathe
And I don’t know what you’re trying to prove
I’ve got nothing left to lose
Either way
I know I’m only

{chorus}

I’ll stay numb until the guilt is gone
When blood stained on my hands is fading
Fade…

{chorus}

3. 'All is numb'.... I’ve been lost too long
'All is numb'

YouTube - 32 Leaves - All Is Numb
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UaZy2Cu_ac

C’mon drift away through fundamental boundaries
To find ourselves surrounding
The ones who’ve already gone and come back stronger

All is numb
I’ve been lost too long
My fate’s been mistakenly chosen
All is numb
Yeah I’ve done you wrong
My fate’s been mistakenly chosen

Here you’ll stay
Where lies are spread wide open
And ties are not so strong
That place you’ll never find me
I’ve already gone

{chorus}

I guess my thinking too much is what’s been fuckin’ me up
It’s my own worst enemy, but
It will never own me…
Who am I kidding anyway?

{chorus}

4. SOMEONE'S STANDING ON MY CHEST
SOMEONE'S STANDING ON MY CHEST

By Atreyu performing "Someone's Standing On My Chest"
LIVE @ Astoria, London UK


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vR16AfMorIw

Starving, searching this barren wasteland.
Trying to grasp being this alone.
Pleading for a breath of fresh air,
Someone's standing on my chest
Dying; I'm asphyxiating myself.

I kill myself...

Break myself, slave to my weakness
Choke on my words.
Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone.
Break myself, slave to my weakness
Choke on my words.
The lights are on and I wish I was home.
Break myself, slave to my weakness
Choke on my words.
Oh I'm drowning I feel so alone.
Break myself, slave to my weakness
Choke on my words.
The lights are on and I wish I was home.

My lips are screaming pretty nothings.
My ears are bleeding for want of words,
Fuck words. I need actions.
Hope has left me fucking shattered.
Someone's standing on my chest.
Alone would be a pleasant change from here.

How do you gauge loneliness?
How do you gauge loneliness?
How do you gauge loneliness?
Have you ever felt so alone?

It feels like the light will never reach me here.
I'm choking back my longing for shed tears.
So strangulated by my lonesome fears.
Please don't worry too much,
It only hurts when I breathe.
It only hurts every time I breathe. (When I breathe)
It only hurts when I breathe.

5. THE THEFT
THE THEFT

By Atreyu

YouTube - Atreyu - The Theft

www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfCjcZn2KR0


He bends and he breaks
If you give they will take away
His passion, his pain, his grace.

He exhales,
A thousand black flowers explode
into butterflies as they're away

Rip them out, take them,
Burn coals as they crush him
Leave nothing
that resembles the soul of a man
See him numb, see him crushed
See him numb, See him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn coals as they crush him
Leave nothing
that resembles the soul of a man
Leave him numb. leave him crushed
Leave him numb, leave him crushed

Took the fire inside
One too many times
He's burning over and out now,
He fails
Up against the raging tides,
No more fights
Everything you ever wanted to see,
See it in his eyes
One more time, one more time

Climb down to test the waters,
My hands feel like they're rusting away yea, yea.
So I'll pace around like a lamb before the slaughter
I'll stay here as long as you let me,
Decisions been made obvious so I will return
Where I started I'll stay there
Unfinished
I'll wither away

Rip them out, take them,
Burn coals as they crush him
Leave nothing
that resembles the soul of a man
See him numb, See him crushed
See him numb, See him crushed
Rip them out, take them
Burn coals as they crush him
Leave nothing
That resembles a soul of a man
Leave him numb, Leave him crushed
Leave him numb, Leave him crushed

6. "Was it a Dream?"
YouTube - 30 Seconds to Mars- "Was it a Dream?"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVyiFdrMyCE

"Was it a Dream?"


Your defenses were on high
Your walls built deep inside
Yeah I'm a selfish bastard
But at least I'm not alone
My intentions never change
What I want still stays the same
And I know what I should do
it's time to set myself on fire
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves it
A photograph of you and I
Your reflection I've erased
Like a thousand burned out yesterdays
Believe me when I say goodbye forever
Is for good
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves
A photograph of you and I
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves
A photograph of you and I
(A photograph of you and I)
Was it a dream?
Was it a dream?
Is this the only evidence that proves
A photograph of you and I
A photograph of you and I
A photograph of you and I

7. The Danger In Starting A Fire
The Danger In Starting A Fire

"A Day To Remember-The Danger In Starting A Fire" Music Video

www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHmghtyNeuE

so now you'll know exactly what it feels like
to be an obstacle in my way
you won't remain
you won't remain

save your breath don't even speak
if you'll speak of change
cause you wont
you won't
cut to the chase
spare me the lecture on what it takes to make a man
cause you're weak and i'm strong

i will never falter
i'll stand my ground
you're a fake, a worthless coward
you'll never be anything

lets set things straight
what's done is done
i never needed you
tell me exactly who you think that you're kidding?
everyone will be happy when they find that you're missing
you asked if we'd ever forget you
we've got our fingers crossed
our fingers crossed

There's a danger in starting a fire
you'll never know how many bridges you'll burn

An actor out alone

10. BELIEF
BELIEF

John Mayer - Belief

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEgUUTkqRRQ

Is there anyone who ever remembers
changing their mind from the paint on a sign?,
is there anyone who really recalls
ever breaking rank at all
for something someone yelled real loud one time?
oh, everyone believes
in how they think it oughta be
oh, everyone believes
and they're not going easily

belief is a beautiful armor
but makes for the heaviest sword
like punching underwater
you never can hit who you're trying for
some lead the exhibition
and some have to know they tried
it's the chemical weapon
for the war that's raging on inside
oh, everyone believes
from emptiness to everything
oh, everyone believes
and no one's going quietly

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

is there anyone you can remember
ever surrender with their life on the line?

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

we're never gonna win the world
we're never gonna stop the war
we're never gonna beat this
if belief is what we're fighting for

what puts a hundred thousand children in the sand?
belief can, belief can
what puts a folded flag inside his mother's hand?
belief can, belief can

11. Colder Than My Heart, If You Can Imagine.
"Colder Than My Heart, If You Can Imagine."

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLe7nVz-WLw

Don't point your finger baby
This isn't the best time for you to test me
"Now the message isn't for anyone here" she said
It wasn't you or anyone I would lie for
Tell me, who would you lie for?

Let's leave the light
I'm still singing "Whoa"
(Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
(You'll never know)
I'm still singing "Whoa"
(Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know

Don't be so quick to blame a friend
When the smoke is cleared, there will be nobody left
"Don't be so sure of yourself" he said
If this was me, you would never know your name
(Never know your name)
Heart means everything

Let's leave the light
I'm still singing "Whoa"
(Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
(You'll never know)
I'm still singing "Whoa"
(Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know

Don't ride with me, your faith
Don't ride with me, your faith

From the top of the world
We'll let them know
That your biggest fear is letting go
From the top of the world
We'll let them know
That your biggest fear is letting go

I'm still singing "Whoa"
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know
(You'll never know)
I'm still singing "Whoa"
(Whoaa)
Don't say you won't let it go
'Cause you'll never know

12. 10,000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2)
10,000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU7H3zy__os

Tool - 10,000 Days (wings Part 2) Lyrics

http://www.metrolyrics.com/10000-days-wings-part-2-lyrics-tool.html


10,000 Days

Listen to the tales and romanticize,
How we follow the path of the hero

Boast about the day when the rivers overrun,
How we'll* rise to the height of our halo.

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations,

None of us have actually been there,
Not like you...

Ignorant fibbers* in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me...

None of them can even hold a candle up to you,
Blinded by choices these hypocrites won't see

But enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
my* little piece of the divine

This little light of mine, the* gift you passed onto me,
I'm gonna let it shine,
to guide you safely on your way

Your way home...

Ohh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down
without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
other than tremble incessantly?

High is the way
but our lives* are upon the ground.
You are the light and the way
They'll only read about
I only pray heaven knows
When to lift you out

10000 days in the fire is long enough.
You're going home...

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
"I have come home now!

Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father,
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.

It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my
Give me my wings!"...

Give me my (x5)

"Give me my wings!"

You are the light, the way, that they will only read about

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon non* believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion, but
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look him in the eye
Look him in the eye and tell him
I never lived a lie, never took a life,
But surely saved one


Hallelujah, It's time for you to bring me home.



:cry:

13. My faorite song,,, "Right In Two"..
YouTube - tool - right in two...

"Right In Two"..

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvkm1g53l04

Angels on the sideline,
puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden
has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden.
Silly monkeys,
where there's one you're bound to divide it,
right in two.

Angels on the sideline,
baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason
and this is what they choose?

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys,
give them thumbs they forge a blade
and where there's one they're bound to divide it,
right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys,
give them thumbs they make a club
and beat their brother down.

How they survive so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
to live tonight in heaven,
conscious of his fleeting time here.

Cutting it all, right in two.
Cutting it all, right in two.
Cutting it all, right in two.
Cutting it all, right in two.

Fight over ground, over earth, over sky.
They fight over life, over blood, over air and light,
over love, over some, over none.
They fight or they die, Over what?
Over writing!

Angels on the sideline again,
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again,
Wondering where this tug of war will end.

Cutting it all, right in two.
Cutting it all, right in two.
Cutting it all, right in two.
Right in two!

Right in two.

This is about how humans fought each other on land since they were monkey's. Super song I love it.

by TANSD on 04-23-2006 @ 02:32:50 PM
The song is pretty clear and Sickimage pretty much summed it all up ontop of it. It pretty much follows the same theme as, "Do The Evolution" by Pearl Jam (Which is an awesome song by the way)...

by Sickimage on 04-23-2006 @ 06:06:16 PM
Awsome song.
Its clear though. The Angels are interpeting what they see humans. Were just humans we were given all these things (thumbs) etc. that make us "better" than other animals yet we still act like animals.. we kill eachother and theres no need for it.. we fight for land yet theres enough for everyone to live in peacefully

More...
