Guest Billy Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 this song was actually impressive, very indie like. i really liked this song for obvious reasons.
Doug Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I'm wide awake after the riotsThis demonstration of our anguishWait a second I told her that's no reasonlike a bottle of your favorite poison
Comrade Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 As far the the chorus goes, I'm definately hearingWe are the last call and it's so patheticDesperate, but not hopelessLife is so peaceless in the Murder CityDesperate, but not hopelessThe clock strikes midnight in the Murder City
Astrid. Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 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.. a bit. Not scared about it though. It's gonna be a mixture of my favs At 2:27 you can hear he says 'Desperate, but not hopeless' pretty clear
Marlon_GD Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Listening to it, I do also hear But not hopeless; but in the same chorus, the other line(before "the clock...") I here I got...Possibly it's the first time but not hopeless, second time i got helpless (or something like that)
Astrid. Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Listening to it, I do also hear But not hopeless; but in the same chorus, the other line(before "the clock...") I here I got...Possibly it's the first time but not hopeless, second time i got helpless (or something like that)Now I hear in the second line' Desperate, but not helpless'
Katarina. Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 They have a song called Desperate. lolzIt could also be called Murder City
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I hear what I focus on. I've heard "But not helpless", "But not hopeless" (or something that sounded like it could be 'hopeless'), "But not homeless" (same as for hopeless), "I got helpless", "I got hopeless", "I got homeless".But with my iPod I hear "helpless". I can't really figure it out, 'cause I hear helpless but I also hear that it could be a Billie-pronounciation of hopeless....that wasn't really helpful, was it?
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 ?Oh, I get it. No, I definitely hear helpless with the possibility of it being a weird pronounciation of hopeless.
LetItBeHappy Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I listened to the song again and I heard Helpless and Hopeless in different verses, so Billie must me just playing with us lol
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Mm, I really hear "but not"now.^oh, yeah, didn't think about that yet!Too bad, now I gotta listen it again he says it 2x per chorus, and 1 time in the beginning..1 but not helpless--1 but not helpless2 but not helmless . helpless, I guess then. listened that again, now I hear homeless...weird.--(solo etc)1 but not helpless2 but not hopeless1 but not helpless2 but not hopeless
Marlon_GD Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Actually... now that I hear it again and again... I think he says... I wear pink hats
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Actually... now that I hear it again and again... I think he says... I wear pink hatsAh, of course!But it could also be "bear hats"...:/
Katarina. Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 DesperateBut not helpless/hopeless Life is so peaceless in the murder cityDesperateBut not helpless/hopeless The clock strikes midnight in the murder cityI'm wide awake after the riotsThis demonstration of our anguishIt's a good laugh to life's no reasonLike a bottle of your favourite poisonWe are the last call and it's so patheticDesperate But not helpless/hopelessLife is so peaceless in the murder cityDesperate But not helpless/hopelessThe clock strikes midnight in the murder cityChristian's crying in the bathroomAnd I just wanna smoke my cigerettesThere comes a dwelling against the racing It's written all over our facesWe are the last call and it's so patheticDesperateBut not helpless/hopeless Life is so peaceless in the murder cityDesperateBut not helpless/hopeless The clock strikes midnight in the murder cityDesperateBut not helpless/hopeless Life is so peaceless in the murder cityDesperateBut not helpless/hopeless The clock strikes midnight in theThat's what I hear. I'm sure he sings 'but not helpless'. But I think he sometimes changes it to hopeless, so that's why I put hopeless as an alternative here
Astrid. Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Actually... now that I hear it again and again... I think he says... I wear pink hatsSo that was the line I couldn't figure out
Guest Billy Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 it's obviously helpless, not hopeless.helpless makes sense.
Hermione Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Both helpless and hopeless make sense to me. So it's just down to deciphering his voice as usual
Guest Billy Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Both helpless and hopeless make sense to me. So it's just down to deciphering his voice as usual well, true, but it's more logical because you would need help if you were desperate; he's saying he doesn't need help.either way, you can have hope. i'm just over thinking this.
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 It could be both too. I listened it, and I hear sometimes the one, sometimes the other, but in a patternhe says it 2x per chorus, and 1 time in the beginning..1 but not helpless--1 but not helpless2 but not helmless . helpless, I guess then. listened that again, now I hear homeless...weird.--(solo etc)1 but not helpless2 but not hopeless1 but not helpless2 but not hopeless
Hermione Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 well, true, but it's more logical because you would need help if you were desperate; he's saying he doesn't need help.either way, you can have hope. i'm just over thinking this. Oh no you can never over think these things, I never stop thinking about them Yeah I see what you mean and you're probably right, but I suppose "desperate" is quite a loose term so it could mean a several different things.
colormydaygreen Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I thought it was 'desperate, but not hopeless' before I came on this thread, and now I see all these people saying it's 'helpless' and 'homeless.' :/ I don't know...
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I thought it was 'desperate, but not hopeless' before I came on this thread, and now I see all these people saying it's 'helpless' and 'homeless.' :/ I don't know...I believe I'm the only one that says 'homeless', but I don't think that he sings that, I just hear it.
Astrid. Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Well.. if you just look at the context of the song and the line I'd say Hopeless and Helpless. He's desperate but not hopeless.. makes sense. And he's desperate but not helpless.. makes sense too. I think he's saying them both. One in the first lines and the other in the second.Like the MCR song Kill All Your Friends. Two lines alternate each other.. that's the same with this song.I just gave another comparison with MCR
LetItBeHappy Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 ^ I'm not the only one that compares the song with them *-*
