The Faint - Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen
Lyrics:
I'm paralysed and things could change for you as well
You're not so bad off now, you can move anything you need
I'm not this way because of an emergency I caused
At seventeen, a guard perched above the chlorine floor
When I saw a hand raise up from just beneath the air
A frantic move for help, I made an instant judgment call
Dive - I arced my feet to dive, I broke the elemental line
To save a child; dive - into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms and compressed my spine
Now I'm paralysed while they just hope to make amends
The family and the kid who faked the drowning incident
I've felt the hand of God and that's the last thing that I felt
At all below my back, I've lost the faith I thought I had
I'm paralysed and things could change for you as well
You're not so bad off now, you can move anything you need
I'm not this way because of an emergency I caused
At seventeen, a guard perched above the chlorine floor
When I saw a hand raise up from just beneath the air
A frantic move for help, I made an instant judgment call
Dive - I arced my feet to dive, I broke the elemental line
To save a child; dive - into the shallow floor
The bottom scraped my palms and compressed my spine
Now I'm paralysed while they just hope to make amends
The family and the kid who faked the drowning incident
I've felt the hand of God and that's the last thing that I felt
At all below my back, I've lost the faith I thought I had

Lyrics: I checked in a room today Up above the downtown market bricks Right now a boy gets old A boy gets bitter A boy learns not to trust Someone inside his room The door locks tight You keep the door locked Months went by and doors got kicked in Two outlaws collecting what they loaned In a room beside my walls A girl gets choked She can't pay back the loan 48 more hours to go "48 more hours" ...
The Faint - The Conductor
Переглядів 101 тис.14 років тому
Lyrics: Confident with your back to the audience. Tremelo strings begin with your gesturing wrist. Start the orchestra slow with an elegant aire, Then a circular sweep, crecendoing swell. Leo Slatkin, Dohnanyi, Previne, Depaur Your arms are calling out, They wave like a swarm of sound. You pull the sound from scores of notes, You step the stage and take control. You're conducting ver'ese in a m...
The Faint - Posed to Death
Переглядів 229 тис.14 років тому
Lyrics: I feel a warm resistance Beneath the outer layer What once moved living organs Leaks through a thin veneer Blue blooded royal body Elegantly posed to death Not speaking prince now are you? Not breathing one more breath Just now the curtain's folding It falls and lies to rest So selfish royal brother You've loved your wife to death Your ways could not continue You'd rule with hateful han...
The Faint - Your Retro Career Melted
Переглядів 135 тис.14 років тому
Lyrics: Recovering slowly, a torso fell From a beat up truck by a rural motel. The manager seen how the truck bed bounced While dust flew up with a rolling sound. Voices appear from the staff outside In bulbous text in a western style His mannequin neck spun to turn his face The bars spills drunks out frame by frame Girls pushed girls side to side To hear a suction sound as limbs relign The cro...
The Faint - Let the Poison Spill From Your Throat
Переглядів 163 тис.15 років тому
Lyrics: Some people get bit from the inside When they talk, it's cold and sour And no, there's nothing they can do now They've had their way too many times If you glare to get what you want It'll become your look If there's dirt you've got on someone You let it loose without a thought Just let the poison spill. Spurt from your throat Hiss like steam Because the pressure is unreal I'm not saying...
The Faint - Total Job

Lyrics: Sharp dressed servers where the upscale dine A safe dial turned by a glove in the crimes of night A nurse in an ambulance rides He "don't deserve it", the patient is right Career Serious There are times when I miss the appeal Long black cars driven close to the lawn Straight legged slacks and the shine of the chauffer's garb The lawyer with an eloquent tongue He sways the verdict, the j...
The Faint - Glass Danse
Переглядів 391 тис.15 років тому
Lyrics: Feel the vapor pressure drop as the dark steam pours out the entrance Real cold world is swirling in to a club that keeps the real life world out Where every sense seems deathly weak from the frozen time you spent in transit. The glass danse world flickers on and the low end thaws your anxious body Maybe I feel detached, I may just look too shy It's a disinterest not that I'm a timid gu...

Lyrics: You could follow logic Or contest it all The work solution makes the common house a home The element of progress That you mention is gone It de-evolved to something you were headed toward As I lay to die the things I think Did I waste my time, I think I did, I worked for life All we want are just pretty little homes Our work makes pretty little homes Like a cast shadow Like a fathers dr...
Listening to this in 2004 HEAVY ROTATION and it still goes just as hard. Perfect album
This song sums up perfectly the modern age where people spend their time staring into their phones(glass danse) and so self absorbed into their self image as its project through social medias (the club that keeps the real life world out) If you think on the lyrics you can see how it mirrors the age of clout chasing on tiktok or whatever platform really, all social media breeds the same mentality.
2024? Yes, please.
my girlfriend at the time Nadia
Checking in 2024
I had to use openAI to find this band again, It tok 5 tries of suggesting emo and 'sexual' influence. Here we are.
Slaps
Lol I listen to this when I blow glass. Just made half a shot glass and had to do a glass dance to roll a whole new oxygen cylinder around my backyard at midnight trying not to wake my.parents and neighbors 👌
I swear this whole album lives rent free in my mind since first listened to it 8 years ago. These hooks, this spooky underground yet fun ambient it gives, so infectious, always fresh. Bless you The Faint for making one of the best dance-punk records ever.
Wicked ❤
When I first heard this song on tiktok I thought it was Bloodhound Gang
My friend who used to drive me to school in the mid 2000s used to play this band all the time 😂
From 2005 to now… 2023..
2023 shitl man
Funny story! I first heard this song when I was 8 years old… my Aunt had this CD…. She played it ONCE… and I remembered this song 15 years later and asked her the name….. I’ve probably played this song 100 times! 😅
Who is here from Nitro Circus 3?
Note to self: play this whole album at the next dance party
Wow this song is cool. God blesses us all with such great beats.
This makes me nostalgic for the early 2000's.
To this day, my theme song.....
LOL An artificial intelligence recommended this group to me and I must say that it is the best fucking recommendation that the wretch could have given me, remember me December 22, 2022 Motorola Z³ Play Code name: Mike M.
🐝🌻 Their work makes pretty little combs Their work fills honey dripping combs Marigolds at sunrise, drones work hard while they fly All hatched from pretty little combs
Is it ironic blasting this at work ?loll
2022 what
December 2022! 🤓🤓
Is this whole album a reference to violence against Gays? Just watched Dahmer on Netflix and damn,,,, this could be in there
Number one banger of the album IMO
Is posed to death a reference to the dahmer killings?
2022
Dropkick the punks
There used to be more tracks on this album
Love it 💎

To dive I arched my feet to dive
I remember being a teenage edgelord and thinking this was the most romantic song I’d ever heard
no romance, just tragedy.
lmaooo
First heard this on the Aggressive Inline Video "WORDS" over a decade ago easily. Now I'm finally learning the words. Powerful tragic picture painted so simply.
me too
Dec 2021 anyone?
I'm a younger fan, I'll try my best to keep it around. A seriously under rated band.
What a great song !!!!!!! Waow !!!
my mom used to always play this in the car when i was a kid lol. it just popped into my head today. forever a jam.
This comment makes me feel really old.
This song has been so sad for so many years. Still a great story.
