La Dispute :: Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again

Lyrics:

Out where the stones lay like bones by the ocean
Out where the waves crash contempt on the land
Someone was trembling for fear of the tempest
Somebody silently reached for their hand
Said understand, that if you're cold I'll keep you warm
And besides, there's so much beauty in a storm
So come down with me to the shore
What's more, I adore you
So tell me, what is there to fear
You think some seraph up above
Is trying to rob us of our love
Because the sky is not clear
My dear, you know there's not
Now listen to the rain upon the rooftop
But the wind picked up

Out where the stones stand up like thrones beside the ocean
Out where the waves make a grave of the sea
The lovers struggled in the middle of the tempest
And water angrily crawled up onto the beach
Said hold my hand, and stay with me
We'll be released
But the tide clung like an anchor to her feet
And though he tried to make the water line recede
It pulled her out into the sea

He could not break apart the waves to bring her safely back in
He watched her hand break through the surface once
Then disappear again
Forever wait inside the sea for me, my dear
I hear you
You speak in every curling wave
And sing in every violent breeze
Someday not far away from here
My dear, I swear I'll see you
And we will hear the seraphs cry
For they will still envy you and I
How they envied you and I
How they envied you and I
How they envied you and I

This song is practically flawless. Just perfectly composed. Definitely deserves more recognition.

and... song:"But the wind picked up...It pulled her out into the sea"

Poem: "That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee"

Song:"It pulled her out into the sea"

Poem:"To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea... in her tomb by the sounding sea."

Maybe this song was inspired by the poem. Did anyone else notice it? I feel kind of like a nerd now... Lol.

[BWeinrich]

@theofferingx I have to agree. I think maybe La Dispute wanted to put the poem to a song, so to speak. The two pieces aren't exactly the same, but they are so strikingly similar that I would be surprised to hear otherwise.

Either way, they are both very chilling, and very awesome.

[DAMONEUBITCHNAGGER]

I think this song is by far their best song ever.

[BWeinrich]

I think I have to agree.

"Someday not far away from here

My dear, I swear I'll see you

And we will hear the seraphs cry

For they will still envy you and I"

This song. <3 :')

... BUT THE WIND PICKED UP

[ATLluver77]

@TehReeves Oh my gosh. He does.

@Machelett96 To each his own i guess, lol. And thanks for not being one of those guys lol. But i very much disagree with you. I have more good things to say about this band than can be written in the space provided. I have nothing bad to say. So much passion in the music, its incredible. But, as i said, to each his own.

[sportsmusic114]

La Dispute: The most underrated band i know of.

[TehReeves]

He sounds like Jesse Eisenberg to me.

@Machelett96 FAG!

[HelloMrEskimo]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that couldn't help but think Annabel Lee when I heard this. I looked it up just to comment only to see that the top comment beat me to it.

[dougjobmoe]

so much passion, and emotion in their music. And the lyrics are great!

[Montypytho17]

@Machelett96 Well then you don't like music with soul
