IAMX - Lulled by Numbers

Lulled by Numbers , by the british band/soloartist IAMX (Chris Corner)

lyrics ;

Who put the mess in your head?
Filtering the sense of all your could have said
I stole the words from your mouth
So twisted in contagion, and reaching out

If this is the lullaby, then
Why am I not sleeping easy?
If you leave me alone, I will come home
Dragging my tails behind me

Sweetheart, don't hang me out to dry
When nothing is left
There is always us
When nothing is left
There is always us

If I could sing you to sleep
Lay you down and pray that your soul to keep
I would be all that you need
Wider eyes oblivious to everything

If this is the lullaby, then
Why am I not sleeping easy?
If you leave me alone, I will come home
Dragging my tails behind me

Sweetheart, don't hang me out to dry
When nothing is left
There is always us
When nothing is left
There is always us
When nothing is left
There is always us
When nothing is left
There is always us

like the song, hate the art. Can't help it.

Guy should spend more time writing music instead of doing silly self portraits.

[XuserfriendlyX]

No dude, I know what you mean.. Not that I dont like the portraits, hes a decent looking guy.. but yeah, he should make more albums( another is coming out this fall/winter tho!)

@unabomberman I know this comment was made 3 years ago... but I never thought about that before. And you're right!

@vivizapa

Good for him. He's entitled to call that stuff art just as I am entitled to call that stuff silly. I don't see the problem.

Also, irony is not what you think it means.

[vivizapa]

@unabomberman "silly self portraits" I never knew you could draw the line between self irony, irony in general and art. Have you ever been to the Opera? the theatre? anything like that? ever heard of Salvador Dali? ever saw the way he looked? Look up, Queen - I'm going slightly mad, Queen - It's a hard life, David Bowie-Ashes To Ashes, David Bowie - Life On Mars?. There are a lot of singeres influenced by Opera and theatre. Life in itself it is born into irony "La Commedia è finita!"

genial song....

[allthafavorites]

not to mention ow fuckin FINE he is...

[allthafavorites]

quite fitting. <3 what a twist.

[karczeska]

This is a kind of song that I'm scared to listen to. It freaks me out like most IAMX's songs. But I fucking love that feeling. It's so distressing but beautiful at the same time.
