Sunrise, Sunset- Bright Eyes (with lyrics)

[weakerthan17]

completely shocked me while watching Fiddler on the Roof



[ElementalEscape]

"The master and his servant have exactly the same fate.

Its a sunrise and a sunset.

From a cradle to a casket.

Theres no way to escape.

The sunrise and the sunset.

Hold your sadness like a puppet, keep putting on the play.

But everything you do is leading to the point

where you just wont know what to do."

SO fucking sobering...so fucking true....

[Carlsbad1214]

from a cradle to a casket there is no way to escape

damn

[muttmark]

Wow. I love Bright Eyes but this song makes me feel that there is nothing good about my life at all. Most songs by Bright Eyes I find comfort in, even the sad ones. I spend days in blissful forgetfulness and then Conor has to go and remind me. I bet he walks around with a needle all day just waiting for a balloon that he can pop.

[maariaa1995]

This song would make a hella good soundtrack to some movie...

[MrNhippie5]

I still am trying to figure out exactly what is behind this song. It seems really deep, almost like a song only the writer can understand. Its subliminal to an extent but really its the sintexs, its whats between the words that really bring out meaning. So interesting to me.

[devilsgrin6]

@MrNhippie5 The song is about hell really, every day is the same, being alive, but being dead spiritually inside & not wanting to be alive. It's about the human condition, how days can become "rinse & repeat." How you can suck the life out of yourself by falling in love with yourself. Conor is incredibly introverted & has probably become narcissistic because of that. (although highly creative) I think he hates the "fakeness" of people, but realizes he's exactly the same & that pains him.

[Asherica]

" for the sunrise and the sunset a scribble or a sonnet, they're really just the same. to a sonnet to the sunrise and the sunset the master and the severant serve exactly the same fate.... its a sunrire and a sunset, a cradle to the casket there's no way to escape..."

[rszdemon]

I want to know how many people don't realize this is a variation of the song "Sunrise, Sunset" from "A Fiddler on the Roof"

[rszdemon]

@rszdemon

watch?v=nLLEBAQLZ3Q&feature=re­lated

[eheffelf]

@rszdemon Doesn't matter. This song is just soooo good!

[rszdemon]

@eheffelf I know it is, I love this song.

[DappledRain]

@rszdemon

I did. Of course. ;D

My friend and I sang Fiddler on the Roof today at school.

"Where is the little girl I carried? Where is the little boy at play?"

[fatescure]

idk why i like this song... it's so creepy, yet i feels so good... then i look at the comments... ppl talkign about being bipolar... do i want to like this song??

[Scrumdiddlyumptions1]

Where you are Arienette?

[mikeoh10]

no idea how i know this song. but i've had it on my ipod for 5 years and i love it!

[placebopleasesnedina]

This is the first Bright Eyes song I heard when I was 17. Completely amazing and I have been hooked to Bright Eyes since. Going on 10 years now. I feel old. :(

[TheJP099]

It helps with the anger

[kimmyisahorror]

is this about bipolar disorder? cause i can really relate it to my bipolar depression.

[InvadedZim]

@kimmyisahorror More like boarderline personality disorder but yea.

[kimmyisahorror]

@InvadedZim that makes sense, i have borderline personality disorder as well.

[XabysmalreleaseX]

@kimmyisahorror

I've got the same thing, and I totally get what you mean.

Great song.

[evax3zu17]

suuuuch an amazing, angry song

[Cjaz84]

cool version....not what i was looking for though...looking for a version for my father daughter dance lol

[7gerardwaysbaby7]

I won't say I "raped it", but let's just say Imma have to pay some serious child support for what I did to this video. ;)

[purpleeocean]

i had always liked this song. but it fell into being just a memory. then the other day i got high out of my mind and listened to it. but i mean really listened to it... and it changed my whole perspective on life.

[JusAnotherObsession]

"You are hopeful and then you regret. The circle never breaks. With a sunrise and a sunset theres a change of heart or address. Is there nothing that remains? For a sunrise or a sunset. Youre manic or youre depressed. Will you ever feel ok? for a sunrise or sunset, your lover is an actress. Did you really think shed stay?" Story of my life. "To the sunrise and the sunset. The master and his servant have exactly the same fate." Amazingly true.

[bright3yes187]

new album feb 15th! woooo!

[cofarmer1982]

This is one of my favorite Bright Eyes songs...really good..

THis guy puts his inner feelings in his music...f'n awsome!

[SweetPops420]

This song is so lovely

[LaureenoLuv]

My english teacher showed us this song today, and how it related to an essay we read called "Against School." I totally agree. Sunrise, sunset, you wake up then you undress, it is always the same. He's one of the few teachers I know who has a decent taste in music.

[dfminky]

@LaureenoLuv Your teacher is awesome.

[arielanarchyy]

<3 Where are you, arienette makes this song fabulous, if you've ever heard the song Arienette

[xxemiliahxx]

This song used to always make me cry, but now i just kinda space out when it comes on

[missxcaliforniaa]

@ColonelGraph gtfo bitch

[metallicmentality]

I would love to be the sunrise, or the sunset. Nothing would matter anymore.

[WhoKilledMickeyMouse]

@metallicmentality I would love to be that which comes in between, everything matters.

[metallicmentality]

@WhoKilledMickeyMouse The more that matters: the more that can be taken away.

[KyoSohma2211]

@starbellygrrl It's supposed to roughly translate to "Your girlfriend's a faker, what made you think she really loved you?"

[starbellygrrl]

@KyoSohma2211 i know what it means...i was wondering if he was singing about winona ryder because he did date her...but thanks anyway*

[SasamitdemEsel]

What's the source of the picture used in the video? I would like to use it as wallpaper :3.

[wekissthestars13]

the way he says "you're a fool" gives me chills

[dpsadin]

drunk and an heroish shit

[Musicasaurus]

Wow, Arienette you FUCKED up.

[blotter1313]

@Musicasaurus i dont think arienette is a person

[Musicasaurus]

@blotter1313 I like to pretend she is

[blotter1313]

@Musicasaurus fair enough and she is too alot of us

[jordicoolegast]

great inperfection in his voice

[jonnyryanmusic]

You're manic or you're depressed. Will you ever feel ok?

Your lover is an actress. Did you really think she'd stay?

[TheWireCorpse]

im kool

[rocioz1712soul6]

This song is awesome every thing is great but

"where are you Arienette?" fucking kills the whole song

[knobbyboy45]

@rocioz1712soul6

huh?

ok?

[RageAgainstNWO]

@rocioz1712soul6

Why? :S

[KateDubbs]

@rocioz1712soul6 Why does it kill it? I don't get the reference to Arienette I guess.. :S

[murfreeswhoro]

@rocioz1712soul6 youre a fucking idiot kill yourself that is all

[rocioz1712soul6]

@murfreeswhoro If you don't like my opinion then to damn bad! you don't have to get all rude and tell me to fkn die what's wrong with you! in that case you die you troll

[wmg2600]

@rocioz1712soul6 I actually agree.

[migled9]

@rocioz1712soul6 I think it's acctually the best part of the song. refering to the song ariennette.

[johnnychick94]

for a sunrise or sunset, your lover is an actress. Did you really think shed stay?. . . Hold your sadness like a puppet, keep putting on the play. But everything you do is leading to the point where you just wont know what to do. And at that moment you may laugh but there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you. So its true, the trick is complete. become everything you said that you never would be. Youre a fool! Youre a fool! these are my favorite parts of this song! its amazing!!

[knobbyboy45]

ahaha(:

thankss.

[johnnychick94]
