Placebo - Battle For The Sun (HQ + Lyrics)

[EvanescencesAngel]

I'd go straight for Brian.

[MentalSelfMutilation]

The song is boring to me. If it were about a minute shorter and the beat varied more it'd have been better.

[thijnepan]

they sing about jesus versus ssjaitan de new devil has come now

[andronickvll]

@thijnepan

stfu.........

[yonicyo]

GREAT!

[rosalbina188]

there's a line missing in the lyrics:

Cause i have starred down the barrel of a gun

NO FUN AND YOU YOU YOU YOU

are cheap and nasty fake

[kelvin12king]

@rosalbina188

But i heard it :(

[rosalbina188]

@kelvin12king sorry, i wasn't shouting, i only wanted to emphasise the missing line..

[rosalbina188]

@kelvin12king sorry, i wasn't shouting, i only wanted to emphasise the missing line..

this is such a great song.

[fouroctavesofjoy]

Every time I "my killer, my lover," I think "no, not more Italian madrigal-style double-entendres"

[anonimoa1515]

Placebo's lyrics are always so brilliant

[xPopokillaXX]

The first time I listened to this song, I'm like "This guy sounds SO gay...can't even listen to this anymore." and then I put it on loop and ended up listening to it for two hours straight. I love it now, I just hope my headphones won't come out their place.

[D3lud3d]

@xPopokillaXX You are not alone. Lol

[adzoss]

love you Placebo ! i remember for ages i was pronouncing it like 'Place-Bo' hahaha

[BANDADARRA]

Son lo mejores en su genero. 

[ALCARRIYO]

SO BRILLIANT SONG

[hambrother]

i heard of this song at the iTunes festival. the 1st time i heard this i was all like whatever' until awhile the chorus kept on ringing at the back of my head' that i seriously had to look it up and hear it again

[SimcaWaSuwaro]

At first I didn't like this song much but now I realy like it^^

[aropa123]

I love this song, Why are Placebo so freaking amazing? (: I saw them at Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth, i felt so proud cause i caught Steves drumstick :D

[onkelzfizirt]

des datum is ja mein baday xD

[JuanGBe]

why isn't this album in spotify????

[IShudBeStudying]

They sound good, though!

[avgoustos1]

the good thing with this band is that their songs are not maid for this warld... there is something mystirius in this songs...!!!!

[Bakkazaru]

+1 if you are now aware this song fits Liquid Ocelot from Metal Gear Solid too well.

[Julispice7]

this is the shiettt

[cersul]

Sehr geiles Lied.......I'm lovin it ;-)

[danai000]

brian i love you.......!!!!!!!!!!so fcking much!

[JRMtruelover]

I cannot believe there were people who actually disliked this...

[sidd1707]

Placebo-Slovenia,Ljubljana-Kri­žanke 06.09.2010

[Ripp3RX]

Its a catchy tune...but the lyrics are amazingly stupid.

[singforxanthi]

@Ripp3RX the lyrics are amazing

[IShudBeStudying]

@Ripp3RX Ha ha ha! Your comment made me crack up! :D

[Ripp3RX]

@IShudBeStudying "Dream brother, my killer, my lover."

now explain me that line please.

[IShudBeStudying]

@Ripp3RX I can't! There's too much hidden-abstracty-deepness etc. for normal people like moi, for example, to understand I guess! Personally, I'd love it if someone here could explain to ME what the lyrics mean. "Dream brother, my killer, my lover." I have absolutely no explanation for this at all, just as I have no explanation as to why Placebo wants to battle for the sun!

[lcbaudar]

@IShudBeStudying Have you considered that all photosynthetic organisms battle for the sun? Plants in a forest use their stems & vines to push aside other plants and rise above them. The plants left in their shade then remain infirm...

[TheFirepaw]

awsome song thumbs up for battle for the sun

[LetYourGameSpeak81]

TashJonesUk Yea dude,... they are good stuff.. definately on my playlist for sure..

[NancyboyBi]

i love Placebo

[camilapalacios0416]

Thaaaaaaaaanks dude!

[faridjabba]

damns, this one seemed the only rocky song from this album cause the rest ive haerad:damn, they sounds like MADona comparede to the first 5 albums, what a disapointemn! but seems this one too ends up like pop

[BatyLinda7]

im so absolutely in love w/ this song!!!!!!!!!!!! and im seeing them live tomorrow!!! OMG I CANT WAIT!!!!! IM SO IMPATIENT!!!!

I WANNA HEAR THIS SONG LIVE FROM BRIAN SOOOOOO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

I WILL BATTLE FOR THE SUN <3<3

[Tanglestar456]

I love this song so much.

[pe4cefrog]

I want a brian milko as a pet!

[TashJonesUk]

@pe4cefrog me too! argos?

[LetYourGameSpeak81]

Like most of their songs,... I didn't like it at first but,.... it is starting to grow on me... haha, so funny.. I remember thinking that about alot of their songs when I first started listening to them... But I guess that is the difference between the commercial, pretty packaged mass market, conveyor belt, factory made music nowadays.. it is made to instantly attract people so that the companies can make the most money possible.. lol (: D

[TashJonesUk]

@LetYourGameSpeak81 you're spot on! Allegedly the best bands/songs are those you initially don't like much.

[ciberboy50]

i made a AMV with this song :D

final fantasy 13 battle for the sun

[animamolko]

im agree... not so good

brian what are you doing?

[Mojiito00]

mhm not so good

[KaSuMixPL]

google it ;<

define: sun

[hornetobiker]

I tried, it mentioned an english newspaper. Does that have something to do with it?

[nanabanana3893]

this is such a good song with a deep strong meaning

[KatUncensored]

there is a deeper meaning for me in this song...

it's about battling for the sun after half a year of depression and being the bones they couldn't break to all those contributing to that situation.may everyone's battle for the sun be a winning one

[hornetobiker]

Try living in Scotland and saying that.

And what's a "sun"?

[roundrobin8]

the sun is that big yellow star you see in the day.

[hornetobiker]

I don't know what you mean. What is a "yellow star"? Do you mean like a jewel of some kind?

[Aprch]

In Layman's terms: The big shiny thing that lights up the earth

[hornetobiker]

What? I'm non the wiser for this.

[rag0o]

ure joking bout "whats a sun" thing right?

[hornetobiker]

No. Can you expalin what it means? Is it some kind of animal?

[roundrobin8]

well... whats your first language?

[hornetobiker]

Scottish.

[roundrobin8]

...I don't know any scottish. but if it helps, most latin based laguages is called sol =/

[hornetobiker]

I've done some research on this sun thing. Apparently it's a ball of fire that supersticious sassenachs think keeps us warm?

That makes no sense. Where is it????

[roundrobin8]

It's in the sky, at day time

[hornetobiker]

How come I can't see this supossed "ball of fire in the sky" if it really exists? Is this some kind of a cult I've stumbled on or what?

[roundrobin8]

No, it's no cult. You probably can see it but you don't know it'd the sun. Do you know what makes day time day?

It's the sun that illuminates the day time.

[vampire176]

Acually its its own fire for love and recovering. Maybe thats why its called ring of fire, who also is in the eye closest to the iris. we could not see things like the rainbow or stuff like that otherwise. i love it.

[opinjaa]

C'Mon.. hes 44 years old guy... he is drunk , or just laughing about you.. ;D

[jolziomiksde]

go and ask your english teacher or anybody, who knows english better than you. you can also check it in dictionary ^^.

[hornetobiker]

English? We eat them on sight so I'm hardly likely to ask them for much am I ?

[jolziomiksde]

do you know what dictionary is? : D

[Snowflakesblues]

And this song rules, placebo's best band out there!

[Snowflakesblues]

I think he or she meant to say nice ._.

[KaSuMixPL]

i was talking about Ha5ior ;<

[Snowflakesblues]

Oh okay o_o'' Sorry I didn't realize lol ^^'''

[Ha5ior]

H!h!h!h iii U eRa u!C3 :***

[Ha5ior]

pY my53Lf ;)

[KaSuMixPL]

wth.. you noob tard o.O are you typing in some futuristic language? Or you just made it up :D?

[BlasphemousContessa]

i wasn't too sure about this song at firat, but it's amazing how much emotion Brian can put in a single word. I kinda wanna hug him and tell him everything will be okay after listening to this one

[Tayla1500]

hmmmm. this song is soo different..

hm its okey when you listen more than once ^^

[pumaxik]

fajna piosenka na imprezy cos w stylu bitter end ma powera

[zburanyziom]

[dblucy]

[pinkplasticduck]

this is the worst song I've ever heard from placebo.. let's be honest people :D

[zlatickoxt]

Honestly, the more I listen to this song the more I like it. :)

[Majindom]

Yeah, nirvana of the 21st century, only the lead vocalist is still alive and gay.

[asdf12344321fdsa123]
