Silverchair - Cicada

Lyrics

When he was just a little boy,
He only had one favourite toy,
And he had nothing on his mind,
He never left anything behind, no, As he got older, things got worse,
Like he had been born under a curse,
Things started to fall apart,
They went like they were at the start,
No, ohh,

It's like a civil war, growing up,
It's like a civil war,
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore,
Growing up,
It's like a civil war,

And now that he was in his teens,
He started to learn live of his means,
Probably to stay in here and
They didn't look like disappearin',
No, ohh,

It's like a civil war, growing up,
It's like a civil war,
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore,
Growing up,

Growing up, it's like a civil war,
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore,
Growing up, it's like a civil war,
Don't turn away,
It's something you can't ignore,
Growing up, it's like a civil war

[SiggasFan1167]

@nahu182 know*

[Doyledeth]

@nahu182 Neon Ballroom was a masterpiece though. I love both albums equally. Second one was good and Diorama I had mixed feeling on. I only liked Straight lines from their last one.

There albums got worse after freakshow....this is by far there best album done when 15.....freakshow when 17....tht blows my godamn myyyyyyyyyyyyynd

[WarmothGuitarist]

They were 14-15 when they recorded this record...but around 13-14 when they were writing these songs. That's the part that was actually remarkable about SC. While they would take riffs, and tweak 'em a bit... I don't know any 13 y/o kids now that could write heavy rock songs like this...much less write simple, yet thought provoking lyrics like Pure Massacre and Israel's Son

Couple that with the fact that their music progressed over their entire career...until that shitty Young Modern record.

@MrTwatmasterfleX ah nice! that's a good one. madman would be cool too. this whole album is 10/10!

[MrTwatmasterfleX]

@BredShred Idk, I think my entrance would be Israel's Son

[chaseroot]

@nahu182 and to think they made this album at their age (15-17 years old) blows my fucking mind
