Atmosphere - Who I'll Never Be Lyrics






She locked herself in that room
With a full view of a full moon
And this where she come to fly
When she wanna disappear from what's outside.
I try not to make it obvious
She doesn't know there's an audience.
These walls are ribbon thin
So it ain't my fault that I'm listenin'.
And I can make out every word
Cause she sing loud like a trapped bird
She looks out at the stars
When she writes songs on that guitar.

And every song you write without me,
Just another sad song to me.
And every song you write without me,
Sound like who I'll never be.

She picked up her instrument
And I don't know where I went.
I just close my eyes and float
Like I'm in there with her tryin' to hold all
The notes she hits, motionless,
A secret solo show she gives.
Sometimes she'll search for a line
And I wish I could give her one of mine.
But it would all unravel
If she found out I was in the shadows.
So I suppress what I obsess,
But your biggest fan wanna sing a duet.

Because every song you write without me,
Just another sad song to me.
And every song you write without me,
Sound like who I'll never be.

Familiar with the voice of the lonely,
Lost in the noise of the wind blowing,
Go ahead, girl, tell your story,
But the siren don't wail for holy.
Play your heart by strings,
With the parts you sing.
Can't wait to hear what tomorrow brings.
And if you ever get to smile,
I'll be right here tryin' to reconcile
My desire to admire your sadness.
You gonna rise from the fire and ashes.
And if it's all the same to you,
You oughta let me be the one to help change your tune

Cause every song you write without me,
Just another sad song to me.
And every song you write without me,
Sound like who I'll never be.

Atmosphere Who I'll Never Be Comments
  1. A.... G....

    fucking love this song. oh the nostalgia 🎶

  2. B.... B....

    *These walls are ribbon thin

  3. J.... G....

    i love this song. its so heart felt. 

    J.... G....

    Every one of his tracks are, right? Slug is a very talented artist; very 'deep' individual.

  4. C.... M....

    this is so fucking good, love you slug

  5. E.... s....

    why were you in there? I mean I think I know why, but just to make sure.

  6. E.... W....

    Err, you should be more open-minded if you think Slug is the only artist out there.

  7. I.... S....

    lyrical of SLUG cannot be denied!!!

  8. G.... C....

    Thats what makes him an artist in a sea of finger painters

  9. R.... R....

    think its ribbon thin walls

  10. W.... N....

    Honestly I don't think I could disagree. Each one of his beats speaks and isn't just a mash of bass and kick and snare. They're all complex and are just more than sound. I really like Seven's Travels, and how he mixes in all the airplane-themed sounds in. And like you said he has the best collection of music, uses the best samples from the real roots of hiphop. And then all in all just putting Slug's voice and lyrics over it makes Atmosphere the best and most unique rap group ever.

  11. H.... ....

    he dont get the respect from many like slug.. but the few that do give it up for ant, are all the best fans..... ant has an amazing collection of music he is truely the best musical artist/mixer w/e insane eargasm maker ever.... yeah i said it ever....

  12. W.... N....

    Don't forget about Ant... Ant needs some love tooooo

  13. s.... ....

    dont forget Eyedea :)

  14. N.... W....

    I want to write a song with Slug... I sang his songs in the hospital shower to bring me peace....without his music the last 17 days would have been a nightmare.

  15. D.... L....

    that guitar

  16. N.... D....

    This guy reminds me of some of the best old french songwriters like Ferré or Brassens. He's really really really good, for real

  17. M.... H....

    this is beautiful

  18. D.... ....

    dont forget Eyedea too! :)

  19. P.... ....

    im pretty sure he says ribbon thin instead of ripped and thin

  20. s.... ....

    hey, i might be wrong but i thought the words were 'every song you write ABOUT me sounds like who i'll never be'. i think its about not without :P regardless, awesome tune :)

  21. J.... ....

    that dislike was definitely not mine! lol, in fact i was playing this song on itunes when i saw your reply in my email haha, amazing song, amazing band!, it doesnt get any better

  25. N.... T....

    got nothing but love for this song .

  26. t.... g....

    true that he takes a different approach and never really is this passive..but then again: "who i'll never be" double meaning? mind....blown

  27. I.... ....

    /watch?v=9TwUqBWoi2k

  28. N.... D....

    dude reminds me of an ex girlfriend, hippie chick guitar and dog and shit.

  29. G.... ....

  30. J.... P....

    no dislikes, fuck ya

  31. y.... ....

    this man speaks my mind better than i do

  32. T.... ....

    @shaffer036 Thats why i like it, it shows even someone like him can be vunerable. Everyone has that side just not everyone has the balls to show it.

  33. n.... ....

    i f& love this guy! He is a true POET of our generation there is no other artist out there in my opinion whose 95% of his music is just hit after hit. He is by far my favorite ARTIST of al all time! so DEEp and so meaningful. I love you slug i have a huge man crush. God bless your ugly ass existence!

  34. t.... ....

    this would make a really good movie

  35. W.... W....

    Slug ur amazing!

  36. s.... ....

    @ThatOneChick395 Idk if I feel that way. It makes Slug seem more vulnerable and humble. I agree with ScarrednCharred. It's a good song like always :)

  37. T.... ....

    this song makes me happy :)

  38. D.... L....

    this song has me all messed, because he's tuned into a secret admirer, and he never usually has that kind of approach..... Its my favorite.
