Christine Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Would it be wrong to say "bursting in"? Because I don't hear "through" - I also don't hear "in" quite well, it sounds more like a word that ends with "T", but nothing comes to my mind now. Oh I've just listened to the line repeated at the very end (I kept rewinding it and not listening to the end bit ). I don't think it's bright blue sky at all. Will have to think on it. This song makes sense (unlike BIOTW which is pieced together nonsense ) and if it's "slow landslide" then the line before should fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, so I don't think I should keep on trying because I have absolutely no idea. Maybe I'd better go to bed now and leave the job to people that really know English.

racinghorse83 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's a nice song, true. But when you take a step back and look at it, its really only on the level of 'My Sympathy' so far. I can't see it being a hit... and the metaphor of being underwater just comes across as a bit.. strange.. not really enough detail or emphasis into it really... it's just cheesy (although not as cheesy as blame it on the weather) i think it needs lots of work done on the lyrics, at least. Anyway, I think Mika's head over heels and its just filling up his songwriting with cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I can't see it being a hit... and the metaphor of being underwater just comes across as a bit.. strange.. Yes because a metaphor like an umbrella (-ella -ella) is not strange at all. I don't think being under water is the metaphor. It's that this love is as life sustaining as air.

Efriani Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes because a metaphor like an umbrella (-ella -ella) is not strange at all. I don't think being under water is the metaphor. It's that this love is as life sustaining as air. That's why he call his next album 'The Origin of Love'. Maybe he means the origin of love is full of metaphor. No words can exactly explain what love is. Anyway, I truly love this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet.pixie Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The second time it says this: 'and the world I’ve left behind', i think it goes with the 've. And for the rest, I can't listen anything else But so far is looking very good I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that this love is as life sustaining as air. : no, the metaphor makes sense. I mean more like, Mika doesn't make it very clear... It doesn't seem elaborated upon, just sort of thrown in there... Oh, I like the lyrics so far. And he's absolutely not head over heels... Just kind of in love. No sh*t:lmfao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This song makes sense (unlike BIOTW which is pieced together nonsense ) and if it's "slow landslide" then the line before should fit. OK, that very last verse? Now that I've listened a few more times, I think it's "blood red sky"... Maybe "Bursting with a blood red sky..."? Still listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe "Bursting with a blood red sky..."? Still listening. Yeah that's what I've been getting too. Maybe he's interchanging bright blue sky and blood red sky? It's seems like the first and last are blood red sky but the middle is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiaIchihara Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Building on what we have so far -- I'm getting there, it should only takea few hundred more listens Which I won't mind at all... I LOVE this song! --------------- There's ... A slow landslide (?) and the world we leave behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again... When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call I shall not leave you alone Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need is the love you breathe put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! There's ... bright blue sky A slow landslide (?) and the world I left behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call I shall not leave you alone Now I know you're amazing Cause all I need is the love you breathe Put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! There's ... bright blue sky A slow landslide (?) and the world I've left behind good job big thanks deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) OK... refining a bit... Bursting with a blood red sky A slow landslide and the world we leave behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again... When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call I shall not leave you alone (at all?) (or "You shot and... something?") (or "Wish I could... something?") Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a bright blue sky A slow landslide (?) and the world I left behind there's a way to lose your head and disappear and not return again When I fall to my feet Wearin' my heart on my sleeve All I see just amazes You are the port of my call I shall not leave you alone (at all?) (or "You shot and... something?") (or "Wish I could... something?") Now I know you're amazing 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe Put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! Bursting with a blood red sky A slow landslide (?) and the world I've left behind I think that's as close as I'm going to get until we get another video, or Mika sends me the lyrics. Or until Mana comes online -- she's always really good at deciphering things, too. Oh Mana?! Edited September 21, 2011 by dcdeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassilda Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 How mad am I? Just got uo, first sing was switching on the internet and looking for the new song... Now I'm sitting at the breakfast table and...cry? Love, love it....can't wait the new album...

tiibet Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 'Cause all I need Is the love you breathe put your lips on me and I can live under water, under water, under water! Under water! Isn't that beautiful? It's a very powerful song, it really makes me cry, I'm almost shocked. Can't wait to listen to this live some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to listen to this live some day. Yes, I agree. It's a far cry from "hear my song, it won't last too long..." I really, really love it -- can't stop listening to it, but try as I might, I just can't be sure of those few lines of the lyrics. I'm pretty certain it's "you are the port of my call" but the line after that... Driving me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
