Keane - Perfect Symmetry

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 capitals
The wisest of the animals

Who are you? What are you living for?
Tooth for tooth, maybe well go one more

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

Read page after page of analysis
Looking for the final score
Were no closer than we were before

Who are you? What are you fighting for?
Holy truth? Brother I choose 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 youll feel it too

And maybe youll find life is unkind
And over so soon
There is no golden gate
Theres no heaven waiting for you

Oh boy you ought to leave this town
Get out while you can the meters running down
The voices in the streets you love
Everything is better when you hear that sound

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 youll feel it too
Maybe youll feel it too
Maybe youll feel it too
Maybe youll feel it too

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

Spineless dreamers hide in churches
Pieces of pieces...

@venomvsspidey11 I first liked Coldplay because I started listening to them when Keane hadn't released their first album yet. Then Keane came out and they became my absolute favourite band.

[venomvsspidey11]

@keaneing Which band did you first like?

That might affect your opinion

[mrface666]

@TheGodOfMusic88 so is syphilis...

[FrostberryCoco]

XD This is Death The Kid's theme song!

[TheBigTano95]

@keaneing Yes, i think so, it's matter of taste :D IMO Coldplay are the best band actually

[keaneing]

@TheBigTano95 Well, I guess that's a matter of taste. I had this long chat with my music teacher the other day and he thought Keane is probably the best band around. He isn't even a big fan, but he said that the lyrics and musical atmospheres that Keane can create are beyond Coldplay's means. IMO, Keane and Muse are the best bands around nowadays, although they're not as famous as Coldplay.

[TheBigTano95]

@keaneing I don't think Tim ever write anything like Clocks, Viva La Vida, Politik, Amsterdam or Violet Hill. Sorry, Keane are great, but Coldplay are better.

P.s. I love both bands.

[JorgeLFC7]

@keaneing Both are amazing, I always listen both bands, I always play on piano songs of Keane and Coldplay. But well, we cannot compare them because both are different, Keane has Somewhere Only We Know, Everybody is Changing, Perfect Symmetry, Bedshaped, etc. and Coldplay has Yellow, Trouble, Square One, Hurts Like Heaven, Lovers in Japan, etc. I am fan of both bands.....

[keaneing]

@JorgeLFC7 I like Coldplay very much but... no, the melodies, lyrics and vocals in Keane are much more better than Coldplay. I don't think Chris will ever write anything like Atlantic, Bedshaped, Perfect Symmetry, Somewhere only we know or Love is the end. 

[JorgeLFC7]

Nah, Coldplay is still better than Keane.
