Song "Perfect Symmetry" from a new album Perfect Symmetry, which is out on the 13th of October.

Lyrics:

I shake through the wreckage for signs of life
Scrolling through the paragraphs
Clicking through the photographs

I wish I could make sense of what we do
Burning down the capitols
Wisest of the animals

Who are you, what are you living for
Tooth for tooth, maybe we'll go one more

This life, is lived in perfect symmetry
What I do, that will be done to me

Write page after page of analysis
Looking for the final score
We're no closer than we were before

Who are you, what are you fighting for
Holy truth, brother I chose this mortal life
lived in perfect symmetry

What I do, that will be done to me
As the needle, slips into the run out groove
Love, maybe you feel it too

And maybe you find, life is unkind
and over so soon
There is no golden gate
There's no heaven waiting for you

Oh boy you otta leave this town
get out while you can
the needle's running out
The voices in the streets you love
everything is better when you hear that shout
woooaohhh
woooaohhh
woooaohhh

spineless dreamers, hide in churches
pieces of pieces of rush hour buses
I dream in emails, worn out phrases
mile after mile of just empty pages

wrap yourself around me
wrap yourself around me

as the needle, slips into the run out groove
maybe i'll feel it too
maybe you'll feel it too
maybe you'll feel it too
maybe you'll feel it too

I dream in emails, worn out phrases
mile after mile of just empty pages

  • They are nice guys: always smiles on thier faces !

  • I like how the people commenting on this video at least enjoyed this album. If you look up something from "Hopes and Fears" all the comments talk about how much we should hate "Perfect Symmetry". And I feel alone trying to tell them how good I think this album is. :( So I'm happy to see I'm not alone! Great song, great album, incredible band! :D

  • Keane has written their names in the Music Story and are a reference for the new bands, they have their own style what makes them Unique

  • keane forever .xxx

  • People can write songs that immediately catch attention, can immediately make connections even when the words aren't understood, either because it's hard to hear, or because the words' meaning isn't understood. Music is poetry...it has lots of meaning that can be found by looking closely, or by trying to sense the meaning.

    I was zoning out playing my DS when I first heard this song but it brought me back and I couldn't stop listening.

    Thank you for uploading! :)
