♫ Letter from a Thief ♫ by Chevelle ♫ Lyrics ♫

[Synyster666Shadows]

@Emoballetkindagirl it sounds like you might be talking about Stone Sour...

[LiveAndLove91]

This is awesome. And it is defend it off. It's in the lyrics on the album cover booklet. Case closed.

[Emoballetkindagirl]

I'm trying to find a song. I'm almost positive it's by chevelle. It says something about how he lets it burn or something idek in the beginning and in the end. It also says stuff about stars in the chorus. I can't find it. HELP!!!!!

[gameinggangsta]

@Trueshiz ikr

[ode2joy4u]

This is one of Chevelle's very best songs, I feel. I believe "Letter" is as close to a perfect song, as is humanly possible! Thanks for the nice job you did with this.

[Trueshiz]

How is this not more popular?

[xcheesyburritox]

I love this song

[Zebraa108]

So after in the beginning where he says a lettfer from a thief says , the rest of the song is THAT LETTER ?

[DrSmotpoker]

@Zebraa108 Yes.

[hollisterhannahh]

[USCroxmysox]

Became. My. Favorite. Band.

The end.

[the0US0marine]

He does, in fact, say "defend it off".

[TJKIZZLE]

im proud to be going to the same high school that members from chevelle went to, FUCK YEAH GCHS

[mariah123waddle]

@TJKIZZLE why?? lol YOU'RE not the famous one XD

[1jamiesmart]

why do people buy music to not understand it. i understand why dont u

[mwarnock55]

ive been listening to this song since SciFi Crimes was released..nevertheless I love it...but never really made much sense of the lyrics..loved the beat..the melody..and the overall feel of the music...having seen your video with the lyrics actually creates more appeal for me..even though the lyrics really mess with my mind..which is a cool concept really..since life rarely makes sense anyways.

[TableKMusicVideos]

People, this is the first time I've heard this song. Its awesome btw.

Anyway, I can clearly tell that it is 'defend it off' he is emphasizing like this 'DE-fend' which gives it a the or ta tee sounding notion before the fend which could sound like a to but it is 'defend'

[tehrealjake]

Should I but sci fi crimes or a different album

[TheGriffinbrain]

@mariah123waddle Umm I'm a huge Chevelle fan and I have bought the albums, it's defend it off. Thanks tho

[TheGriffinbrain]

@TheGriffinbrain Lol commenting on myself IT'S DEFEND IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gazkaz69]

Nice

[Ultraviolet9496]

I fell in love with this song long ago, then came across it today & fell back in love.

[WhenSheFell]

4 peole are thieve's who arent smart enough to write a letter xDDD

[mariah123waddle]

"defend it off" doesn't make sense its "to fend it off" or "defend it all"

[darlitaliz]

i like it

[Berto429]

Defend it all*  Just a little... correction. But still, amazing song <3

[SayNeverSayNever180]

I thought the Lyrics where "Stay here, young love , to find it all to lose it all"....no wonder why i couldn't find the song. :s...

[athena437]

@SayNeverSayNever180 omg exact sameO.o

[Hydrofobic2001]

@SayNeverSayNever180 Yeah Chevelle made the song about a guy that stole all their band equipment on tour.

[SayNeverSayNever180]

@Hydrofobic2001 Ohhh okay. That makes sence for the title than. Thank you :)

[gnjkdrf3567]

[BmoreSavage111]

If it wasn't for this song i might have never discovered my writing potencial. Thank you chevelle for helping me realize my dream. You inspired a future director.

[cmgamedev]

@BmoreSavage111 Good luck with that...make sure you use spellcheck!

[BmoreSavage111]

@cmgamedev yeah, by writing I meant ideas. I'm not the best speller in the world. If that good luck was true, thanks. if it wasn't, stop being a smart ass, what do you have to show for.

[fuzzysk8er]

3 people had a bad day

[marcusz682]

i only like the part where he says "if you ever enter my mind, stay there, youll live ,defend it of, and fool them off, stay there"

[skyangel731]

3 people suck balls

[ChocolateAssMilk]

I have to pee really bad...

[mustacheseatyouinbed]

@ChocolateAssMilk good for you?

[ChocolateAssMilk]

@mustacheseatyouinbed I want to piss in and around your mouth

[mustacheseatyouinbed]

@ChocolateAssMilk thats great

[sexyyparty]

I was banging my hand aganst my leg to the beat of the drum. After the song ended, I realized i hurt my leg pretty bad haha

[sleepy20002]

oh, and 89x in detroit plays chevelle at least four times a day. its just usually jars or the red. maybe every once in a wile some well enough alone or closure =)

[sleepy20002]

doesnt sound much like grungeto me... chevelle is its own category!

[Tincats123]

Sounds a bit like ' Bush'....Good tune!!

[DJX101]

think the songs about medicating yourself then shoplifing breaking and entering.

[Hydrofobic2001]

@DJX101 Close, it's about the guy that stole their band equipment having to live with himself for doing it.

[lickthisyo1]

god i wana break into a house still a bunch of shit and leave the song lyrics on there table and see what they do:D

[Lilzies]

check out my song based on this one! :) Lilzies! Am I alone in here!

[MrJason1Smith]

Love your music selection littlejane12. 

[MrLance1337]

Did anyone else think it said "better sex" before you saw the lyrics?

[uub12]

@MrLance1337 nope just you

[detectfevi]

[dustpanfryingpan]

[kaykayxrawrx]

Understanding the way life is and the way people are

[2011Candelaria]

Nicely done

[gbeach85]

@bungiecordstudios I do too. Weird.

[funkumuch]

Well done littlejane12....great video

[bungiecordstudios]

I know a girl named Chevelle...

[Antiinc]

Hey I'm pretty sure the lyric is "to fend it off" not "defend it off". Good vid and song tho

[littlejane12]

@Antiinc Nope "defend it off" and thanks....

[antwer1]

@littlejane12 It is "to fend it off". 'defend it off" is not correct, it is not the case, it is wrong

[xXConverseStarXx]

@littlejane12  its not defend it off. look up the official lyrics. :)

[MrJdmd0]

@littlejane12 its "to fend it off"....lol...

[monkeyznutz]

i think it's defend it all or to fend it off...

[TheDarkshadow159]

@littlejane12 diffend it all



[mariah123waddle]

@littlejane12 look at lyrics.com, it's "to fend it off" , juuust sayinn :)

[toeheadah]

@littlejane12 its clearly to fend it off play it loudly and closely you hear a "ta" for to

[sweetjeezsus]

@toeheadah playing louder just ruptures the sound quality. you can hear what's being spoken more clearly at lower volumes

[1jamiesmart]

@sweetjeezsus ok but technically its not the news its music so lower volume music dont make sense and written lyrics are simple to find and hence

[MountainRushFTW]

@toeheadah azlyrics(dot)co m/lyrics/chevelle/letterfromat­hief(dot)html



[zzzAlex1]

@Antiinc sick !!!

[brecklez101]

Dude, nickleback sucks ass. They hate Americans and I just want someone to through a brick at that goddamn singers face

[deadpoeticorurface]

@brecklez101

well Portuguese hate them too they threw rocks at them

[JestersFlame]

ok i gotta throw my 2 cents in... i don't believe this is generic, very ambient and obtuse maybe but so what? go look at nirvana a GREAT band... kurt sucked ass bei'n a guitar player sorry but he did... but as a songwriter he was superb and his lyrics where very hard to follow but it was still excellent, just like this... this could have a 100 different meanings depending on your mood or outlook... take it for what it is and try to delve deeper into your psyche.

[MrKrav1221]

Got the chills. Damn.

[jacobthesexybitch66]

whats this song about??

like whats the meaning o,o ?

somone should figure it out and tell me!

[XSoldierXUnknownX]

@jacobthesexybitch66 may i? :) For me, this song reflects the loneliness and confusion people experience, and the sad truth that you must act a fool in order to prosper in this endless masquerade we go through in this world of thieves. This song, "A letter from a thief", is actually the confession of someone who understands what is going on, and is trying to warn someone precious to him, and also the world. I hope i helped! :))

[jacobthesexybitch66]

@XSoldierXUnknownX woah thank you!!!

[XSoldierXUnknownX]

@jacobthesexybitch66 =D You're welcome! Happy i helped! =3

[epicenter01]

chevelle just doing there thing, awesome song

[hamer1of1light]

shovel? its a shovel!

[FUNNYTRICK94]

where did nickelback come in from anyway?

[Thisvideoisawesome]

Awesome song!!!

[SeattleSk8rChick]

THAT ONE PERSON MUST HAVE CUM IN HIS OR HER EAR

[irish1620]

If only you people knew the real meaning behind this song.. Lol. You are just a bunch of ignorant fools! Lol. The song was in response to a letter that was received anonymously at the grammies about things that are to come.. Thus the reason for the name of the song. Now listen again and try to really understand now that you have a little bit of a clue what it's about.. Lol. ENJOY everyone!! :D

[bobniculathegreat]

these seem like lyrics randomly thrown together, i dont get it. just saying, not ragging on the song

[angiekellar]

Whoever compares this song or any of Chevelle's work to Nickleback or mainstream is does not understand the concept of the music. i am a long time Chevelle fan, own all of their CD's....and trust me, this is not like DAUGHTRY.....no where near....

[thepartyof1]

@angiekellar I agree with you, comparing Chevelle to a band such as Nickleback is never a good idea.

[GasMaskedMidget]

Chevelle is a group of very talented people, but I just don't like this song. It's too generic. It's just like any other rock song by Daughtry or Nickleback or whoever. They need to do more unique stuff.

[TheMattathonShow]

@GasMaskedMidget Really? I really don't think it's generic at all. If you listen to the lyrics, you'll definitely understand that it isn't generically written song. The meaning isn't average. It definitely doesn't sound like anything Daughtry nor Nickelback would put out.

[PanteraBoy989]

1 Thief watched this!

[MrBluedso]

@PanteraBoy989 it was a private letter, eh?

[xXXxRaGExXx]

Good but never as good as Jars ^-^

[thesassygurl1]

which 1 person doesnt like this freakin song!! it one of their best WTF!!

[bayyazel1998]

this is like 1 of their best songs

[DavisXero]

one of the best songs ever!! i wish i could loop it in my head forever, although i pretty sure its "to fend them off and fool them all" not "defend it off" =D

[paperbamboostick]

0 people dont know music!!

[quest8899]

Awesome freakin song man

[SearchForAnimalChin]

its 1 am and my parents are asleep, but i am tempted to just blast this song so loud.

[HighlanderWallace]

These lyrics make no sense lol. Song is cool as hell tho.

[MSIturnedmegay]

@HighlanderWallace meaning of lyrics is self defined by imagination

[HighlanderWallace]

An imagination under the influence of lsd.

[MSIturnedmegay]

@HighlanderWallace even better..

[futurecane9]

so i pretty much got 7,569 of the views on this video.

[NickxXxL1ed]

amazing song.

[DyFM3]

damn ive been searching for this song for so long nd i finally found it! (:

[xxVampireZeldaxx]

LOVE THIS SONG 8D

[L4Dpeople]

They know.. What everybody knows.. Better sit.. A letter from a thief says..

[pyxiefrog124]

@L4Dpeople i lead when everybody sleeps so few ways to cover up the old wounds lost in a finger forced to lie this sends us medicating thru it all

[ratedromero]

best song from chevelle WELL ENOUGH ALONE

[littlejane12]

@ratedromero Yea my favorite,too.

[ratedromero]

@ratedromero put more videos

[weezerjr955]

@ratedromero damn straight (((((((:

[surewhynot19]

@ratedromero really?? I mean I love Chevelle but vena sera was not anywhere close to as good as their other albums. Well enough alone is not that great of a song, especially when you think about all their other hits. have you heard other songs by them? just curious

[swtrc87]

@surewhynot19 totally agree with you... the first three albums were gold.. but vena sera was "ok" but sci fi crimes kicked ass.

[dragonsusu]

@ratedromero same, that was actually the 1st song i heard from them

[MrGooseMuffin]

FAVORITE BAND!!! :D but my fave song from them is Jars

[xXcorpitoXx]

damn i heard this song on the radio and had to find it

[pvpbeast]

@xXcorpitoXx Where do you live? In New York we have no rock stations just stupid pop and rap crap

[xXcorpitoXx]

@pvpbeast Bottom of Texas

[secondlifereviewer]

@xXcorpitoXx Where do you live? lol.. if they played music this good on my radio i'd never leave the car

[oscardc555]

@xXcorpitoXx i heard it on pandora on my moms phone on my way to san antonio and i imediatley told her to give me a pen and paper XD

[EricCris10sen]

I love chevelle. And this song is beautiful! Im subscribing

[haydenj1973]

awesome

[TheSvRGirl]

love this song so much
