Since We've Been Wrong Lyrics

Do you remember how you wore that dress?
It slit my sight beneath the eyelids
Do you remember what you said to me?
What cause has given you the right to stray?

And then you slid into my solid shade
The clocks are ticking fast with every breath

Since we've been wrong
I've been part awake
Since we've been wrong
you will never, ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure either way
But my heart, it asks
just one more time
Are you still a mess?

One day a rain will come and wash away
dead earth that held us was no island
I have become ingrown inside this skin
I'll find a way out through those eyelids

And all the days become a castaway
I seem to think I don't belong here

Since we've been wrong
I've been part awake
Since we've been wrong
you will never, ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure either way
But my heart, it asks
just one more time
Are you still a mess?

I don't belong here, I shouldn't stay
The whole time it grows empty
The walls between us will never break
Just seal it shut, it grows empty

Since we've been wrong
I've been part awake
Since we've been wrong
You will never, ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure either way
Since we've been wrong
You will never, ever know me
Since we've been wrong
You will never, ever know me
What took you so long?
I'm not sure either way
But my heart, it asks
just one more time
Are you still a mess?

Cotopaxi Lyrics

Hey fans,

I found a bunch of different version of the lyrics to the new UK TMV single 'Cotopaxi', this is the most accurate one I could find. Enjoy!

This isn't what my mother told
spirits fill the pillow
Comic strips to pay for them
fools from which to teach

And in that pulse the future sat
story had been spun
Wet your bed to sleep in it
curse your naked house

I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
we'll be lucky if we eat tonight
I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
that's why he'll never find a home

Lightyears came and lightyears passed
tugging on the brink
Each formed from bullets missing
put down in its sleep

Strangled in the background
fitted for a mask
Future won't believe you
here's the reverend fast

I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
we'll be lucky if we eat tonight
I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
that's why he'll never find a home

Don't beat around the pulpit
there is no lost and found
Where is the Devil waiting?
Trying to disguise

I've seen what you used to look like
down here you won't survive

I've got the weight of half of the world
don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake
I won't come home if you can't come home
even if you make away with my name

I've got the weight of half of the world
you'd better keep looking for me
I won't come home if you can't come home
don't stop dragging the lake, don't stop dragging the lake

I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
we'll be lucky if we eat tonight
I've fed him from the last of my crumbs
that's why he'll never find a home

Follow me in
and I'll show you the body

Lay it to rest
don't say you're sorry

Check back soon for the leak/torrent!

OK - I really love Cryptomnesis

Alright - I finally had the chance to get right fucked up and crank Cryptomnesia. Let me tell you, this is just one of those albums that will go down in history as rediculously experimental. The rythems are effed up, the vocals are actually really good Cedric, I'm sorry my first posts said otherwise, and the band is just damn cool.

If anyone has listened to the first Hella CD, you can imagine adding omar, cedric, juan and Hischke to the mix... it's retarded. The second song is wicked. I'm looking forward to the Octahedron album now too - they're claiming it's the Mars Volta's 'acoustic' record! Ha! Rumour has it that the next Volta CD to be released after Octahedron has already been recorded, and is being code named 'the metal' album. Oh how excited are we? A little..!

Thanks to my readers for getting me upto 400 uniques a day! Check back soon!

Track Listing for Octahedron!

Heya fans,

This afternoon I was buzzing through the twitter servers and found a link to the amazon page for the new album. There they seem to have posted accurate track names. We know there are 8 tracks and Amazon has 8 listed, they are:

1. Since We've Been Wrong

2. Teflon

3. Halo of Nembutals

4. With Twilight as My Guide

5. Cotopaxi

6. Desperate Graves

7. Copernicus

8. Luciforms

These might be fake, but I'll keep everyone posted. In the meantime, tell everyone you know to buy ear protection because aural-rape is likley to ensue.

New Best Friend: Ilyena

I'm not sure what to think of the title - who is Ilyena? I don't know.

This song was one of their first singles, and is personally one of my favourite on the album. Since the older albums, they've shy'd away from beautiful progression and intricately orchestrated peaks and valleys. This song showcases what the band should continue to do - think their music through, take their time, and have another bong hit.

Ilyena is the most radio friendly song of the album - and I saw the results immediately.

Many of the people around me are aware that TMV is amazing and I love the band. A few days after this song dropped on the radio and MuchMusic, I had co workers, family and friends asking about the new album and if it sounded anything like the new single. I was shocked, this song is an actual hit - who woulda thunk it? It's amazing, a lot of the people who loved the song, were... get this... girls... nice.

Even at the show I noticed there were plenty of hunnies all over the place, mostly on drugs - but that's beside the point. Outside of the concert all types of girls have been humming:

If you could see, where I've been,
You'd touch the hand that's touching sin.

I mean come on - I know you love this part too, everyone does! Sexual lyrics, epic drum roll, huge climax - it's what every woman craves. That's a fact. Shit, it's what my ears crave. This song is so catchy, so well organized and so up and down that it's hard to get sick of it.

The Mars Volta is changing the way people listen to music - and the influence is spreading. More people are turning to progressive styles of music - leaving traditional song structure weeping for mercy. On Omar's most recent solo project "Calibration", we're seeing Thomas Pridgeon and Marcel the bassist dip deep into dark drum and bass. The chops, the breaks, the fills, the tricks, the drops, the bass, the sheer complexity and not to mention creativity - will create new music. Be worried.

Enough rant - the song is sweet. The meanings are obvious - Goliath speaking to the band - everything you hear is about his terrible sinful life, his regrets, his curse, and lastly the bands obsession with talking about it.

Keep on rocking - you people. Quick mention, if you haven’t listened to "Calibration", Omar's newest solo release, do yourself a favour and HIT THAT UP!
