Take me to Christie Road Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Reading the lyrics and listening to the song has gotten me really excited for this album. Of course I already was, but this is giving us a taste of what's to come and I honestly can not wait. 21st Century Breakdown seems like it's going to be epic.
Paper_Lantern Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this one of the songs that might not make it to the final cut? Obviously the fact that they played it live last night is a good indicator it might be on 21CB, but you can never be sure. Out of everything I've heard so far, from the 21CB demo, to the 90 second KYE clip, to various other 20 second clips, I'd say this is my favorite song on the album so far. Not saying much yet, though.

jgraldo Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I think it's 'but not hopeless'It's def. "desperate but not hopeless" I have the lyrics.Also, these verses need to be fixed:I'm wide awake after the riots.This demonstration of our anguishIt's a good laugh to life's no reasonlike a bottle of your favorite poison.

Grouch Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah, it sounds alot like Too Much Too Soon, almost exactly the same in parts.
drumstick Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Yeah, it sounds alot like Too Much Too Soon, almost exactly the same in parts.yeah! It is really similar I love the song! I think it's my favorite Thank you guys for the lyrics
Kaddi. Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I think it's the sound of the guitar that makes me feel so sad when I listen to it. I don't know how to explain it, but after the chorus (after "the clock strikes midnight in the murder city"), there's this... little solo or however you wanna call it. I think this sounds in fact really desperate.
Marlon_GD Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 The pieces are all falling into place... Does anyone, Anyone at all have any adjustments to my version of the lyrics?I'd love to cooperate with you guys to find the total song lyricsSo, does anyone have further ideas?Please, do tell us here ;-)
Paper_Lantern Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 The pieces are all falling into place... Does anyone, Anyone at all have any adjustments to my version of the lyrics?I'd love to cooperate with you guys to find the total song lyricsSo, does anyone have further ideas?Please, do tell us here ;-)I'm almost 100% sure it's "Desperate, but not helpless""Desperate, but not hopeless" doesn't make sense; desperation and helplessness go hand in hand, so i t wouldn't make sense to have the word 'but' in there.
Eirik Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 "Desperate, but not hopeless" doesn't make sense; desperation and helplessness go hand in hand, so i t wouldn't make sense to have the word 'but' in there.Desperation and hopelessness also go hand in hand. Even more than helplessness in my opinion.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I hear what I focus on hearing, if I focus on 'helpless' I hear helpless, but if I focus on 'hopeless' I hear something that could be 'hopeless' (and 'homeless' too, but that doesn't really fit well). Same for "I got" or "but not". I think we just have to wait for a better quality version to come. Or the lyric booklet..
kim246 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Christian's crying in the bathroomAnd I just wanna smoke my cigerettes????It's written on all of our facesi think the missing line in this last verse could be;we've come so far we've been so wastedcould b wrong tho.
Marlon_GD Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 That's possible... any other comments from other people?
Paper_Lantern Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Desperation and hopelessness also go hand in hand. Even more than helplessness in my opinion. That's what I meant to say!!So my point stands, I think it's "Desperate, but not helpless"
music_that_is Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 "but not hopeless" for me too. Surely Billie is fucking us over again with that accent.
.Brian Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 "but not hopeless" for me too. Surely Billie is fucking us over again with that accent.he defiantly does
Eirik Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Christian's crying in the bathroomAnd I just wanna smoke my cigerettes????It's written on all of our facesi think the missing line in this last verse could be;we've come so far we've been so wastedcould b wrong tho.I agree with the "we've come so far..." thing, it sounds very right.But he is definitely not saying "smoke", he's saying pump or dump, or something like that.
nimrod-41 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 But he is definitely not saying "smoke", he's saying pump or dump, or something like that.Yeah. listening again, I'd say it sounds like 'puff' ... maybe...and when I wrote "it's written on all of our faces" it's definitely "it's written all over our faces"that one was probably just me being retarded though
LetItBeHappy Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 My english SUCKS, but I hear a "desperate, but not helpless".By the way, am I the only one that thinks that sounds a lot like My chemical Romance? I'm kind of scared about it right now.
dookielaurie Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 My english SUCKS, but I hear a "desperate, but not helpless".By the way, am I the only one that thinks that sounds a lot like My chemical Romance? I'm kind of scared about it right now.yeah it does sound a little like a bit of MCR
Doug Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 That's what I meant to say!!So my point stands, I think it's "Desperate, but not helpless"desperate but not helpless - agreed
