What the hell are they?

So I know one of the charms of this album is that the vocals are hard to make out, much as that's what makes Loveless intriguing (or frustrating, depending on your opinion of Loveless). Still they are singing "something."

This is what it sort of sounds like to me...

Singer is a clerk, oh ah oh (repeated)

then...

He's a working he's a working
slicing up a sandwich
Runs the work
on the edge of your sandwich
He's a worker he's a worker he's a worker
when you eat the sandwich
won't you tell me what you think
is in it



Uh, any other interpretations?

[atsonicpark]

okay, you just blew my mind.

there are LYRICS?

[gmku]

To a couple of songs, yeah. "Atlas" is one. Not so much lyrics as vocals. But they are singing some kind of words. They're just hard to make out.

[nicfit]

scissors are for barbers ooooh ehh oohhh

[ALIEN ANAL]

oh
hes the one
hes the one to hear the sound
tell me what you hear oh

centurys cook, oh i know
centurys cook, oh i know
centurys cook, oh i know
pictures a cook, oh i know
sisters a barber, oh i know

[deathbyfeedback]

i swore he said knees are workin', knees are workin', endless cadavers

[gmku]

I like that one! ^

This album is addictive. I cannot play it enough.

[drrrtyboots]

These lyrics feel too sonically attatched, more of an instrument, for the lyrics to matter, no? They do sound something like what you've got there though gmku. I can't fucking wait to see them.

It sorta sounds like: "He's a working, he's a woman, he's a working"

[PAULYBEE2656]

the word atlas does come about occasionally in the lyrics. gonna try to work em out. tyondai recently said that the lyrics will be published for the whole album later in the year...

time to work out lyrics, have been to busy getting blown away by the sheer genius of the song!

Yeah, he'll need some more time to figure out what the hell he says .

[PAULYBEE2656]

the singer is cooked oh whey oh X4
the kitchen is cooked oh whey oh
the sisters are paupers oh whey oh
the singer is cooked oh whey oh
the crossfader counterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and the grove takes over and i dance, dance the merry fuckydance.............
chin stroke and dance dance dance .......


what a fucking amazing song.....................never fails to make me groove

[PAULYBEE2656]

i really hope the actual lyrics are nonesense and not something political or self righteous. a song this good needs to have silly nonsense lyrics!

[gmku]

Hmmm... you sure it's not the singer is a clerk...

official lyrics


ATLAS

PEOPLE WONT BE PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR THIS SOUND
THAT'S BEEN GLOWING IN THE DARK AT THE EDGE OF TOWN
PEOPLE WONT BE PEOPLE, NO
THE PEOPLE WONT BE PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR THIS SOUND
WONT YOU SHOW ME WHAT BEGINS AT THE EDGE OF TOWN

THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE KITCHEN IS THE COOK
THE SCISSORS ARE THE BARBERS
THE SINGER IS A CROOK
THE CHORUS, FULL OF ACTORS

*THE CHORUS DOESN'T MATTER (LAST VERSE)

DDIAMONDD

THE DIAMOND THAT WAS STOLEN HELD THE CODE THAT MELTED
WATER INTO LETTERS SPELLING WHERE IT HAD BEEN TAKEN TO
IN FACT I HAD A VISION OF THE NUMBERS CORRESPONDING WITH
THE LETTERS T-H-E-D-I-A-M-O-N-D

THEY'RE SUSPENDED LIKE A PRISM SPLITTING FLOODLIGHT TO
POLES OF PRIMARY COLORS CLAWING THE VEIL OF THE VACUUM
THERE'S A PICTURE OF THIS GIVEN TO AUTHORITIES, THE
SENTENCE "I'M AN ARCHITECT AND HERE'S MY PRISON" WRITTEN
ON IT

WITH SCHEMATICS SO METICULOUS THE MEASUREMENTS OF
SUPERIMPOSITIONS OF A ROOM WITHIN THE WINDOW MAKE A
DREAM THAT ENDS UP BEING SUCH AN ENTITY IN YOUR
REFLECTION, YOU ARE THE DREAM TO IT, YOU ARE IN THE PRISM

THE MIRRORS IN THE CORNER THROWING IMAGES AGAINST THE
OTHER MIRRORS MADE COUNTING CORNERS IMPOSSIBLE THE
BREAKING NEWS HAD COUNTED ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE,
SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, TEN, ELEVEN CORNERS OF THE
MIRRORED CORNERS

WHY HAVE YOU DONE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING IS SO
SINISTER WHEN STARRING AT THE DIAMOND SOMETHING YOU
HAVE DONE SO SINISTER WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS AM I IN THE
MIRROR AM I WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN STARRING AT AM I A
DIAMOND?

JUST LIKE A REFLECTION OF A FRIEND OF MINE, I AM A
REFLECTION OF AN ENEMY, AM I A REFLECTION OF AN ENEMY,
JUST LIKE A REFECTION OF A FRIEND OF MINE?

RAINBOW

ONCE
ONE TIME
I WAS AMAZED
NATURAL DELAY
AND YOUR WIDE VOICE
GOT OUT OF PHASE
I COULDN'T EXPLAIN

WHY
WOULD SOME
ECHO OUT RACE
A STATEMENT AS VAGUE AS
"ONCE
ONE TIME
I WAS AMAZED"
I WAS AMAZED


BAD TRAILS

THE NIGHT
THE NIGHT IS STILL
THE NIGHT IS STILL CALM
STILL COMBATIVE
BUT NEVER ATTACKS
