this is now for discussing any and all saosin lyrics.

if you feel any corrections should be made to the OFFICIAL LYRICS thread,
PM one of the moderators/administrators (myself, andy, diego, anthony), or email me. sammy@saosin.com

EDIT: italicized is something I don't hear in the song (and there's no strike-through option or I would have used that)

see... cross-reference everything you hear to the images. i think those have more weight, since those are DEFINITELY anthony's words.

Didn't Anthony say something about the recorded lyrics being different from the original stories? So I'm basically just going off of what I hear in the song, and using the images as a reference point.

its my understanding that the images ARE the original stories.

i thought i read in an interview that the original lyrics were broken up and then put back together to match the music, so thats why some of it doesnt make much sense. someone find that interview, go.

These are what my ears hear

7 Years
=====

Taking on 7 years
The holy ghost had laughed alone
Test my arms, kick like crazy
And I've been trying way too long
Only push the way off to find you
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure
Getting off my chest, the story ends

I would find a way without
Tell him his eyes see through clear
I would find a way without you
Tell him his eyes see through clear
That mistake was gold, write that
Without you is something that I could never do
That was right
Staple the eyes in 7 dates for me to tell machines and tear on

7 years you assured me that I'd be fine if I complied
Only push the way out to fight you
Only push the way out to fight you
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure
Getting off my chest, the story ends

I would find a way without
Tell him his eyes see through clear
I would find a way without you
Tell him his eyes see through clear
That mistake was gold, write that
Without you is something that I could never do
State was right
Something to call me in 7 dates for me to sell machines and tear on

Don't treat me, I'm to blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't treat me, I'm to blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't treat me, I'm too blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't treat me, I'm too blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't treat me, I'm too blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you

They Perch On Their Stilts, Pointing and Daring Me To Break Custom
=====

On my face I've scratched out something like a silhouette
Around the golden ten like lambs
On my face I've hidden away any embarrassment
Away from my acquaintences

I'm not sold on anything but half a dream
I'm not sensing a thing
I see a blank notebook page
It's my life
And there's nothing I can think to write
I'm lost in sensing it's safe
I hope you don't see a thing
Smile through every one you ever meet
So what you gave him the time of day
Switch back and innocently I'll dance around
I honestly give up and de-robe
I see a blank notebook page
It's my life
And there's nothing I can think to write
I'm lost in sensing it's safe

Right side falls
Heaven lays praise to you, I owe you too
Right side because happier life should be so easy
Right side falls
Heaven lays praise to you, I owe you too, I owe you too
Right side because happier life should be so easy
Right side...

Translating The Name

Over Seven breeze and before breathing
We have your voice on tape in a southern accent, screaming at me
I was only one and we weren't paid for before breathing
We have your voice on tape in a southern accent, screaming at me

Know things look lovely to you
Holding back, now and forever sweetheart
Things look lovely
Lonely boy, it's midnight and I'll deny
You were walking so peculiar like you had something to hide
You were walking so peculiar like you had something to hide

Sweet penance for this sound
It might explode in our hands

You wandered in a brown pigmentation
Where the element lines cut short, turned in and stopped
I've been watching rose give in
As we started savouring sound
I've been watching rose give into it, severing the ties between mother and son
I've been watching rose give into it, severing the ties between mother and son

Know things look lovely to you
Holding back, now and forever sweetheart
Things look lovely
Lonely boy, it's midnight and I'll deny
You were walking so peculiar like you had something to hide
You were walking so peculiar like you had something to hide

Sweet penance for this sound

To install the notion that I divided by I

Replace the occasion to speak
I'm not the only lonely boy
Only lonely boy
Only lonely boy
Until I decide to take the watch off
I still believe that we were just a matter of time still getting over everything
Shout for shout's sake

Siren siren
Don't do this dance in my ear
In fact i've already lost it all
Do a deadly dance
All I've asked for so little
I've already lost him

If I decide to sever the plates below
The shore would seperate
And forge only 7 plates again
Until I decide to take the watch off
I still believe that we were just a matter of time still getting over everything
Shout for shout's sake

Siren siren
Don't do this dance in my ear
In fact I've already lost him
Oh do a deadly dance
All I've asked for so little
In fact I've already lost him

This song commemorates you
I hope you know
This song commemorates you
10 feet tall and still the right to fight

Mookie's Last Christmas
=====

From throat and eyes
came winter and reasons
I'm home and carried on
Sad overwhelms, my senses dry
Oh I feel dependant
The feeling that you weren't honest before
I can't shake it

Make the same mistake twice
Bursts of red and green all over me
Freeze the things that she'll love
Ash of what had formed over

We count the days left
23 and all I know
Honestly would I be protected with you suddenly on
The feeling that you weren't honest before
I can't shake it

Make the same mistake twice
Bursts of red and green all over me
Freeze the things that she'll love
Ash of what had formed over

Make the same mistake twice
Bursts of red and green all over me
Freeze the things that she'll love
Ash of what had formed over

Make the same mistake twice
Flash of red and green covering me

Bury Your Head
=====

Bury your head
Bury your head

I'm still fine
You'll be coming clean tonight
And I'll be falling down with you once again
Call me your valentine
Call me once tonight
And I haven't said it's okay

The things you said I'm rehearsing them
The things you said I'm rehearsing them

They went back on us
Closed eyes rolled back, couldn't step it up
I could know one to come on to it
It's the thought that emerges
Take back, couldn't step it up
I could never love the ion vein

Bury your head
And the child smashed you down
When it's lost you can call me again
Fall down below
I'll sleep tonight
When you're okay
And I haven't said it's okay

The things you said I'm rehearsing them
The things you said I'm rehearsing them

They went back on us
Closed eyes rolled back, couldn't step it up
I could know one to come on to it
It's the thought that emerges
Take back, couldn't step it up
I could never love the ion vein

Better than the words, you've seen enough
This is what you call love

They stole my lie
Stole right and all
They wandered around and round my mouth
They stole my lie
Stole right and all
Stole it all
Stole it all
They have been the ones who've seen enough

They went back on us
Closed eyes rolled back, couldn't step it up
I could know one to come on to it
It's the thought that emerges
Take back, couldn't step it up
I could never love the ion vein

You'll be coming clean tonight

I Can Tell There Was An Accident Here Earlier
Cove Version
=====

We try
But Avalon is always beside me
And I'm falling in harm
Where is my home
Orion calls
And his eyes open up
I once believed that I would set you in line

If only I had the strength
You could believe but just in something else

If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to stop it now
If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you, just tell me something

But through and through
The alpha waves and power cables everywhere
Everywhere
Excersizing self-control
The child calls
And he lies open I
Once believed
If only I'd been thinking at all

If only I had the strength
You could believe but just in something else

If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to stop it now
If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you, just tell me something

If you keep asking me
Asking me
Keep asking me
If only I had the strength
You could believe but just in something else

If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to stop it now
If you keep asking me I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you, just tell me something

You stole off like my lies
You want it

THIS IS WHAT I HEAR DAMMIT

Hahahaha


Sorry, this line is really repetitive

what's so funny about that? :roll:

I don't know, something about seeing through clear seems funny to me

hmm, somewhat i suppose. The thought of it made me smirk

anthony green is the most frustrating lead singer in the world

it's like, he purposely turns half his words into jibberish, or just skips over parts, just fuck with our heads.

I still, in spite of this, love the melodies of his songs.

Damn him.

SEAN

night pride has mookies perfect cuz i listen to that song everyday... best sao song ever...

am i the only one who hears betray in i can tell?

to me cove says "betrayed"
and anthony says "betray"

Haha, I'll agree to that.

the lyrics on the board are really wrong.....i'm too lazy to so why doesn't someone write the right ones

theyre only interpretations, there arent any "right" ones because the lyrics are all scrambled compared to what was written [edit]on the old website [/edit]. [sarcasm] Plus being lazy and complaining is really a smart way to get some one to do something for you[/sarcasm]

thats what i meant

oh my god i'm so excited to find this board! *squeaks*
anyways, this is a really random story but my friend gave me a mix cd with lots of random songs and no track listing, i managed to find out all of them except one so i typed the few lyrics i could make out into a search engine and found this page!
i've had saosin - i can tell there was an accident here earlier on my ipod for over a year and its taken me this long to find out who it is! its just been 'track 11' for so long its annoying!

thankyou!

you're welcome

i think its "vein" too in bury your head, but thats probably b/c before i read the lyrics i thought he was saying "idol vein" ooooo well, don't cut my head off but can someone tell me or give me a link to something pertaining to the estimated release date of the new album, i tried searching and it won't work and i looked through about 3 pgs before i got lazy and went to take a dump... peace niggaz

i'm pretty sure it's ion vein if you lsn closely, iunno about the album, just that it's supposed to come out sometime this year?

the lyrics cove wrote on his myspace say "ion change", that is probably what he means to say

the album is supposed to come out sometime this summer- no exact date yet

does anyone have lyrics to Saosin - Penelope (Acoustic Cover) ?

http://saosin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=65...er=asc&start=15

scroll down about halfway

am i the only one who hears "sorry its the last time" or something like that in the ending of 7 Years? over "dont treat me im to blame. dont treat me like i ever accused you." idk it really seems that way to me

ummm....i don't hear that :?

that would just be you on drugs

cause i'm not hearing it

and i have supersonic hearing abilities

i hear it...i was always able to hear the "sorry" but couldnt quite tell what was said after that.
good ears!

Yeah, I heard "sorry" too, but couldn't make out the rest, but that sounds good. Good job.

i heard it...the sorry and that's it, maybe he's just saying i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm not sure

when i sing along that's what i say, but i'm starting to think he had it right with "sorry it's the last time"... hard to tell.

ya, im pretty sure it says that as well.

at the start of "i can tell" i think both anthony and cove said <betrayed but avalon is always beside me>

at the start of "i can tell" i think both anthony and cove said <betrayed but avalon is always beside me>

alot of the stuff ant said doesn't sound anything like the lyrics but meh
BETRAY
but avalon is always beside me

It's "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure" at the end.

even if i'm drunk.. i love saosin.. and i can't live without it.. i love ya guys..

In Third Measurement In C I hear "Free of safety" and before "To get engaged in California" I hear "The perfect stretch to strike on/Upon this stretch we strike on"

lol i listened to it like a trillion times and the only thing i got out of it is "upon the stage you strike off" lol...damn anthony

after the lines on my face, away from any embarrassment,

i am hearing away from my plight instead...

maybe i am crazy

lol dude it actually does sound like that lol

I Can Tell - taken mostly from coves version because its alittle more clear. Notice the pre-chorus is different in each.


Betray but Avalon is always beside me
And I'm following it home
Where is my home
Orion grows
And his eyes open up
I once believed that I won't set you in mind

If only I have the strength
You'd be completely accepting something else

If you keep asking me, I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to stop it now
If you keep asking me, I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you, just tell me something

But through and through
The alpha waves and power cables everywhere(just everywhere)
Excersizing self-control
The child calls
And he lies open I
Once believed
If only I'd been thinking it all

If only I have the strength
You'd be completely trusting something else

If you keep asking me, I'll melt away in the summer air
It won't hurt half as much and I'll beg for you to stop it now
If you keep asking me, I'll melt away in the summer air

You swore off like my eyes
You want it
So I'm engaged to smile

Much like us I think cove didnt know what the hell ant was saying and made shit up.

^^^^^

i like that version.

haha

In the last line of the chorus for I Can Tell I hear "It won't hurt half as much, and I'm begging you, please stop and tell me"

when i first heard the song i thought he was saying just stop it, stop it

at the end of i can tell what the hell is he saying??????

all i hear is;

you stole out___________________________so im engaged to smile

:?:

you stole out like my life
you wrote it
so im engaged to smile

he didnt...they had to guess on someparts...cause they didnt have the lyrics written down anywhere......for instance
ant sings
The child calls and she lies open
cove sings
the child calls and he lies open

ya thats not a big difference
but the song itself is about ants old gf who he nicknamed "the child"

there are lots of other little things but im too lazy right now to type them up
