Resistance is Futile Lyrics Thread
I’ve had a go at transcribing the Resistance Is Futile lyrics (from... er... memory
 ).Bear in mind that I’m trying for accuracy here but it’s entirely possibly I have made colossal blunders.  I shall welcome any suggestions for corrections.It should go without saying that if you haven’t heard the album yet, I would humbly suggest you wait until you listen to it before spoiling yourself. And if you’re reading this on or after April 13th 2018, what are you doing? Go and buy the album right now! It probably comes with the lyrics anyway!  So, last spoiler warning! spoilers...! ...wanna read on? Ok... ——————————————— Resistance Is Futile lyrics ——————————————— People Give In People get tired People get old People get forgotten People get sold, People get sold There is no theory of everything No immaculate conception, no crime to forgive Torn between the then and now Never really knowing the why and how People break down People move on People can't cope People stay strong People give in People stay strong People get happy People get lost People cave inwards People lose trust, People lose trust There is no theory of everything No immaculate conception, no crime to forgive Torn between the then and now Never really knowing the why and how People break down People move on People can't cope People stay strong People give in People stay strong Break down Move on Stay strong Break down Move on Break down Stay… There is no theory of everything No immaculate conception, no crime to forgive Torn between the then and now Never really knowing the why and how People break down People move on People can't cope People stay strong People give in People stay strong —————————————— International Blue You wrote your autograph on the far side of the sky You recorded the falling rain but you never told us why You painted with fire only the ashes now remain The monochrome desire you left us too young to explain Will you lead us to an empty room And frame it with the sky so blue The little boy who saw the truth He left us with international blue International blue Here's my gift to you a soundtrack to the void The deepest of interludes the myths that you destroyed And I saw that colour through a clear wide window And I saw that colour and I knew I had to go Will you lead us to an empty room And frame it with the sky so blue The little boy who saw the truth He left us with international blue International blue Will you lead us to an empty room And frame it with the sky so blue The little boy who saw the truth He left us with international blue International blue International blue International blue —————————————— Distant Colours Say what you want Break my heart a thousand times But it's still right here So you left me with lies Let the banners unfold Let them fall to the floor We once had each other But now we're not so sure Are we living in the past Where there's nothing left to fear Won't you say that you love me Tell me what I wanna hear A cold war for the mind My distant colours still bleeding A broken promise for the soul Never loving, never healing I no longer know My left from my right Between your hopes and fears And my choice to decide So say what you want I break my heart a thousand times But it's still right here Will we ever survive Are we living in the past Where there's nothing left to fear Won't you say that you love me Tell me what I wanna hear A cold war for the mind My distant colours still bleeding A broken promise for the soul Never loving, never healing Never ever healing My distant colours still bleeding Still bleeding Are we living in the past Where there's nothing left to fear Won't you say that you love me Tell me what I wanna hear A cold war for the mind My distant colours still bleeding A broken promise for the soul Never loving, never healing —————————————— Vivian You walk these streets With a camera round your neck It’s your weapon of choice It’s your ultimate defence I’ve seen your face But I’ve rarely seen your smile Did you leave the ruins Or did you build a life Vivian did you ever realise All that mystery that you left behind Ah Vivian, Ah Vivian Ah Vivian, Ah Vivian I’ve looked inside your soul But we never heard your voice Did we ever see Beneath your disguise The museums and galleries have become your home Would it mean that much if you were looking down Vivian did you ever recognise All that history, you never compromised Ah Vivian, Ah Vivian Ah Vivian, (Did you ever recognise) Ah Vivian, (You never compromised) Vivian did you ever recognise All that history, you never compromised Ah Vivian, Ah Vivian Ah Vivian, Ah Vivian Ah Vivian (Did you ever realise) Ah Vivian (The mystery you left behind) Ah Vivian (Did you ever recognise) Ah Vivian (You never compromised) —————————————— Dylan & Caitlin The blank page awaits Love has deserted and made A fool and a drunk out of me My wishes no longer made real Alone with this feeling again Love has deserted the pain The alcohol starts to sink in The drinking blinds us to sin I never meant to believe in you It's so hard just surviving the truth Words don't cover the scars anymore The tears last longer than before Together the tenderness cries Together the tenderness cries In dreams I will be by your side In books, photographs and in voice In verse, in metre and rhyme I'm sorry and I wish that I tried Dylan don't leave me behind Love has divided and died The beauty still shines in your eyes America corrupted and lied I never meant to believe in you It's so hard just surviving the truth Words don't cover the scars anymore The tears last longer than before Together the tenderness cries Together the tenderness cries I never meant to believe in you It's so hard just surviving the truth The words don't cover the scars anymore The tears last longer than before Together the tenderness cries Together the tenderness cries Together the tenderness cries Together the tenderness cries —————————————— Liverpool Revisited As I wake to a sunset The light dances on the Mersey And I think of the 96 As the tears fall down on me There is courage, there is pride You can see it in your eyes Fight for justice, fight for life There are angels in these SKI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-IES As the night falls around me I see joy and devotion These times will never leave Like the rain on the ocean There is dignity and pride There is poetry and life There are ghosts within these stones There’s defiance in these BO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-ONES And all the hatred They tried to throw at you But you stayed so strong Yeah all the hatred It never was the truth So keep keeping on This is forever, we’ll never leave you now This is forever, we’ll never leave you now —————————————— Sequels for Forgotten Wars There will be no parades for the likes of us The wars we fight are doomed to be lost I’ve seen the reflections of my broken blood The callous deception of never giving up No stranger to the cause No stranger to these wars We dream no more No shock and awe Nowhere to go For rock and roll A blue screen for A tribal horde The sequels of forgotten wars A twist and a turn towards apocalypse A pose for effect before your deadly kiss Echo echo in a chamber of purity To a lip-synced moral maze soliloquy No stranger to the scars Still a stranger in these parts Progressive thoughts for idle hands Platforms for corruptive brands A blue screen for A tribal horde The sequels of forgotten wars No medication left to take Just defeat and the bitterest of taste A blue screen for A tribal horde The sequels of forgotten wars —————————————— Hold Me Like A Heaven I walk between the dividing lines I dance around the exit signs I hate the world more than I hate myself I can’t pretend that it’s a cry for help Tattered manifestos litter the mind Diplomatic plans ravaged by time It never really was the truth or lies We just gave up and said our goodbyes So hold me, hold me, hold me like a heaven I want some faith and wanna be forgiven I wanna feel your divine intervention So hold me, hold me So hold me, hold me like I’m lost in your heaven What is the future of the future? When memory fades and gets boarded up All the ties that bind have come undone Seconds of hate, tiny screams of love So hold me, hold me, hold me like a heaven I want some faith and wanna be forgiven I wanna feel your divine intervention So hold me, hold me So hold me, hold me like I’m lost in your heaven So hold me, hold me, hold me like a heaven I want some faith and wanna be forgiven I wanna feel your divine intervention So hold me, hold me So hold me, hold me like I’m lost in your heaven —————————————— In Eternity I fell in love, in love with you a million times Your clothes, your hair and the sweetest of smiles We’ll never see, see the like of you again A master of pleasure and a master of pain Dark is a way Light is a place Close the curtains in L.A. Open them up on a Berlin day Self-made and self-realised Always ready to disguise In eternity - in death as in life In eternity - the king and queen of style There is no journey, no start and no ending We all still arrive and keep on departing You placed a light on a different universe Made life better with the wonder of your words Dark is a way Light is a place Close the curtains in L.A. Open them up on a Berlin day Self-made and self-realised Always ready to disguise In eternity - in death as in life In eternity - the king and queen of... Close the curtains in L.A. Open them up on a Berlin day Self-made and self-realised Always ready to disguise In eternity - in death as in life In eternity - the king and queen of style Close the curtains in L.A. Open them up on a Berlin day —————————————— Broken Algorithms These are the real sour times Full of mistrust hatred and some lies The heap of broken images The jigsaw breaks again and it can’t be fixed The fractured versions of our days The plague our wisdom somehow made History gets to write its own lies The public votes and the public will decide As you caress the beauty of your screens Remember the mission to own your dreams To avoid tax and order your life To sell you a future you may not desire B.R.O.K.E.N algorithms B.R.O.K.E.N algorithms Here’s the challenge: rise up against yourself We now know society’s truly dead So why return to these words again When they burn so bright but die in flames I walk through traces of my past I seek immunity within my soul They carry memory long and lost The pieces fill the space and all the holes As you caress the beauty of your screens Remember the mission to own your dreams To avoid tax and order your life To sell you a future you may not desire B-R-O-K-E-N algorithms B-R-O-K-E-N algorithms —————————————— A Song For The Sadness Memories are all we leave? Fragments of lost melancholy Traces of a generation gone Tiny pieces of broken glass Sh-sh-sh-shining like golden glitter Looking up at the dying stars Unloved by all who pass this way I never really got a chance to say Like islands in the stream That get washed away One more time in The ghetto you say I convinced myself That I have walked the line I’ve never deserted By luck or by design A song for the sadness To clear away the madness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness You made me with a true kindness That I still feel runs through my flesh Out of us time made such a mess I cannot ignore and I must confess Like islands in the stream That get washed away One more time in The ghetto you say I convinced myself That I have walked a line I’ve never deserted By luck or by design A song for the sadness To clean away the badness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness To clean away the madness A song for the sadness A song for the sadness —————————————— The Left Behind From an open book To a closed shop Feeling like an animal The one that time forgot The squadron never dies Falls quickly to demise Some self-sacrifice Some limits to your vice Oh! I never wanted you to change I prefer to stay the same I never wanted it to change, oh yeah Waiting for the end of time Waiting to be left behind Acting like a passer-by Waiting for the end of time I was lonesome warrior I was a willing conquistador I believed in a higher truth Bbelieved it more than you The squadron never dies Falls quickly to demise Some self-sacrifice Some limits to your voice My fingernails are getting broken My grip is somehow getting loose I never wanted it to change, oh yeah Waiting for the end of time Waiting to be left behind Acting like a passer-by Waiting for the end of time We’ll be Waiting for the end of time Waiting to be left behind Acting like a passer-by Waiting for the end of time Time ———————————————— ———————————————— Porco’s notes: So, there’s still a few I’m not 100% on, and some I’m not sure will be possible to discern (“Dark is a way” or “Dark is away”?! Is this an obvious Bowie reference I’m being dense about?). (Solved? See Edit3 & raven’s post below!) There’s one I’m very proud of if I accurately caught but I suspect it’s something more much more obvious and I’m mishearing... (“These are the Varius of our times”?!? Obscure much!?) I thought it was “these are very surreal times” at first, but there seem to be some other sound in there. The one I am most stuck on is the line in Broken Algorithms (and to be honest I’m unsure of half that song!): [edit5; solved thanks to Dancing Kirby] Obviously (if you’ve heard it) I’ve left out lots of ‘woahohohohohs’ from various points. And also the delightful ‘oh, oh, oh, oh’s from HMLAH. Heh, that was the first time I’ve typed HMLAH.... oh, that was the second... Ni! Nearly drove myself mad with the line “no shock and awe” in STFW. Heheh, STFW, ftw! I heard ‘no Jacques Ennore’ and was trying to find out who this Jacques Ennore fella was... some nickname for Derrida? Maybe it is! The fun of guessing lyrics Again, any suggestions welcome. If I agree I’ll edit this post, if I don’t I won’t, at least until the album is out, and then we can commence with the disagreements over whether the official printed lyrics are accurate .Also feel free to discuss the lyrics, such as they are! I am frankly bowled over at the quality, there is a lot of thematic connective tissue going on here as far I’m concerned... I love it. List of Edits; Edit1: changed last bit of Sequels... as per Mr. Richey’s suggestion... still not sure if it’s “drama whore” or ‘tribal heart’ the whole way through (or a mixture, or neither!). Edit2: I think it might be “These are very severe times” not ‘These are a Varius of our times’ in BA. Also I think it might be “By luck or by design” not ‘lack’ in ASFTS. Edit3: “Dark is a way”, not ‘away’, as per raven’s suggestion. Edit4: "To clean away the badness" rather than "madness" in the penultimate chorus of ASFTS only, I think....? Meaning each chorus is technically different, if only by a letter. Also, yet another guess at that opening line of Broken Algorithms: I know think it’s “These are variants of our times”. Enough possibilities yet?! lol. Also, missed a 'break down' in PGI. Added. Had also accidentally repeated last two lines. Subtracted! Edit5: Big edit for corrections thanks to Dancing Kirby. Left a few differences I swear are not the way he sings it. Feel free to argue about it/call me out on it! Edit6: More tidying up. Still some minor differences from the printed lyrics.

I’m pretty sure the last part of “Sequels Of Forgotten Wars” is actually...
No medication left to take Just defeat and the bitterest of tastes A blue screen for a drama whore The sequels of forgotten wars ...but I could be wrong.

“Nice!” That makes total sense, brilliant. Loving the overlapping references that appear to be going on in this album.

Not far from the theme underlying Dylan Thomas' Birthday Poems - birthdays bringing happy memories from childhood, thoughts of life now and recognition of time passing, of death though not necessarily as bleak as clumsily summing it up like that makes it sound... 'Dark is a way and light is a place, Heaven that never was Nor will be ever is always true'. Light is a place even though Heaven remains uncertain we keep searching for the myth/light/hope....sorry rambling off. I now want to go find me a collection of Dylan Thomas's poems so another job done for the Manics there

Holding Patterns
The universe it waits All the miseries that we make The global emptiness Identikit heroes, giant alter-egos Internal monologues, the branded demagogues To all the first responders And all the early adopters Bad blood cold rain* The most modern of our pain Perpetual, eventual Perpetual slavery, eventual shame Holding patterns are all that matter Holding patterns draw the curtains Hold back morning, no returning All the mess we made Failure to communicate The missing millions All are sinning from the beginning No point in hanging on Legacies are too far gone Scared souls are never free Black moons and high black galaxies Bad blood cold rain The most modern of our pain Perpetual, eventual Perpetual slavery, eventual shame Holding patterns are all that matter Holding patterns draw the curtains Hold back morning, no returning Bad blood cold rain The most modern of our pain Perpetual, eventual Perpetual slavery, eventual shame Holding patterns are all that matter Holding patterns draw the curtains Hold back morning, no returning ----------------------------- *I *thought* it was "chlorine", but that could be wrong!? Anyone else got a different suggestion?(solved? see edit1) And "high black galaxies"? Thought it was 'hyper-galaxies' at first. hmm. Edit1: I think it’s ‘cold rain’ not ‘chlorine’. ————————————————————————————— Official lyrics from the Japanese versions’s inlay (SO wrong IMHO. SO VERY wrong. But take your pick! ):Holding Patterns Lone universe he wakes All the miseries that we make The global emptiness Identical heroes, giant TaToRiTos Internal monologues, the branded demigods Two of the first responders And all the early doctors That much, count on me That must mind her, not by pain I bet you were, I bet you weren’t I bet you were shivering, I bet you were ashamed Holding patterns Draw them back now Holding patterns Draw back curtains Hold back morning No returning All the mess we made Failure to communicate I miss you millions All I’ve seen in from the beginning No point in hanging on Legacies are too far down Skid souls and liver cream Black moons and half black galaxies That much, count on me That must mind her, not by pain I bet you were, I bet you weren’t I bet you were shivering, I bet you were ashamed Holding patterns Draw them back now Holding patterns Draw back curtains Hold back morning No returning That much, count on me That must mind her, not by pain I bet you were, I bet you weren’t I bet you were shivering, I bet you were ashamed Holding patterns Draw them back now Holding patterns Draw back curtains Hold back morning No returning —————————————————————————————————

A Soundtrack To Complete Withdrawal
Hidden failures no one to save us Fractured moments, the gaps are growing The dying decades, the first refusal Total withdrawal, silence for all The lost generation, bipolarisation Solitary youth, this laziness finds its truth I will be your weakness I will help you make sense I will be your battleground Can I tie your blindfold? Survive while you hold my fingers tight Sing your soundtrack to withdrawal tonight Survive while you hold my fingers tight Sing your soundtrack to withdrawal tonight So keep walking slow, like a pilgrim Even when your heart is breaking The gentle caress to the fear you know Total withdrawal, silence for all The lost generation, bipolarisation Solitary youth, this laziness finds its truth I will be your weakness I will help you make sense I will be your battleground Can I tie your blindfold? Survive while you hold my fingers tight Sing your soundtrack to withdrawal tonight Survive while you hold my fingers tight Sing your soundtrack to withdrawal tonight Survive while you hold my fingers tight Sing your soundtrack to withdrawal tonight Survive while you hold my fingers tight Sing your soundtrack to withdrawal tonight

Concrete Fields
My old school has closed its doors The once-green fields are now concrete floors And the roads are choking full of misery and fear But my vision’s getting clearer and my mind it feels so free And the work is hard and the wages are low But the smiles still appear and the rivers still flow And all I can do is sit here and moan But my heart still bleeds for this place that I call home My boyhood made of dreams and love The happiest of times sitting with my mum and dad But the bridges, the houses now dominate The vaping and the super-schools, the breeding grounds of hate But those once-green fields still live in my mind They seemed so perfect, so simple and so kind Just me and my brother, we’re kicking a ball The world so close and so beautiful And I got no answers, I place no blame I just feel longing and I wanna hear your name As I walk and I run through these once-green fields It’s easy to see what has disappeared And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss The joy and the freedom, but freedom at what cost? And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss The joy and the freedom, the freedom at what cost? Is this your inheritance, is this all that’s left? The mountains we climbed are now mountains of debt And the air is getting heavy with memory and loss The joy and the freedom, the freedom at what cost? We had joy, and we had fun We had seasons in the sun Yeah we had joy, we had fun We had some seasons in the sun Yeah we had joy, and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun Yeah we had joy, and we had fun We had some seasons in the sun

I think I read on another thread that the normal CD didn't contain any quotes? Well from the deluxe one there's this at the start of the booklet from Virginia Woolf
'I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only the past.' At the end of the booklet after all the lyrics and pictures is - 'Life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going' - Tennessee Williams

Ok, My transcription of Mirror Gaze, and official lyrics from Japanese inlay for comparison, because I don't think they are the same(!!) Would welcome anyone else's input who has access to the track, but I think I’m pretty confident with the following:
———————————————————— My transcription, as far as I can tell: Mirror Gaze I’ve made some sense of emptiness I've learnt to love me less and less I finally let go of my weaker self I made the crash and I made the wreck I've got no time to stand and correct ‘Cause everybody hurts Like the wise man said I built the rod For my own back I got the monkey Sitting on my neck Beyond all this Oblivion runs Beyond all this There lies a place for us Beyond all this There lies another way Beyond all this Oblivion runs Beyond all this There lies a place for us Beyond my eyes There is a mirror gaze Only in a poem do you find some truth The fiction is merely a hiding place The mirror’s my enemy The shadows are my friend I’ve made some sense of emptiness I've learnt to love me less and less I finally let go of my weaker self I built the rod For my own back I got the monkey Sitting on my neck Beyond all this Oblivion runs Beyond all this There lies a place for us Beyond all this There lies another way Beyond all this Oblivion runs Beyond all this There lies a place for us Beyond my eyes There is a mirror gaze There lies another way There lies another way Beyond all this Oblivion runs Beyond all this There lies a place for us Beyond all this There lies another way Beyond all this Oblivion runs Beyond all this There lies a place for us Beyond all this There lies another way ——————————————————————————————————— and now the official printed lyrics… such as they are… ! ——————————————————————————————————— Mirror Gaze I made some sense of emptiness I've learnt to love me less and less I've finally let go of my weaker self I made the crash and I made the wreck I've got no time to stand and correct Cause everybody hurts Like the wise man said I felt that I brought it Down on my head I got the monkey sitting on my bed The end of this I believe you’re wrong The end of this There lies a place for us The end of this There lies another way The end of this I believe you’re wrong The end of this There lies a place for us Beyond my eyes There meets a mirror gaze Only in a poem do you find some truth The fiction was really a hiding place Then it was my enemy The shadows are my friends I make some sense of emptiness I’ve learnt to love me less and less I finally let go of my weaker self I felt that I brought (it) Down on my head I got the monkey sitting on my bed The end of this I believe you’re wrong The end of this There lies a place for us Beyond my eyes There lies another way The end of this I believe you’re wrong The end of this There lies a place for us Beyond my eyes There meets a mirror gaze (There) lies another way (there) lies another way The end of this I believe you’re wrong The end of this There lies a place for us Beyond my eyes There lies another way

In Sequels of Forgotten Wars, the following line makes me curious:
A blue screen for a tribal heart Is that "blue screen" really the Windows OS' infamous blue screen of death? Or am I just a nerd? It does make sense, though....

As for the ‘blue screen’, I think that’s a cool interpretation, and certainly works... I had thought of it as a blue screen like the ones they use in TV, e.g. something replaced with computer graphic imaging - the idea of tribal ‘armies’ who aren’t really there except digitally. But I think both interpetations work, and the album is full of lyrics with multiple meanings.
