Atomship - Plastic People Lyrics






Time entails the sun to hesitate, clinging on and off again.
Picture all the children as they walk on by clean into the front yard.
Falling in and out of sync with him in the ground, I see.
Promises I have broken, shadows creep along the window.

The window sill, drowned by the rain.
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain.

Freeze frame capture it.
The stars fell from the sky, in my hands they pulsate.
Into the night they're shattered on the front line.
The devil knows where they hide.
In the ground he passes by and the devil cries.

The window sill, drowned by the rain.
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain.

Plastic people, paper skies.

The window sill, drowned by the rain.
Swallow the pill, it kills the pain.

    A grand finale to a masterpiece album.

    Time entails the sun to hesitate, clinging on and off again
    Picture all the children as they walk on by clean into the front yard
    Falling in and out of sync with him in the ground, I see
    Promises I have broken, shadows creep along the window

    The window sill, drowned by the rain
    Swallow the pill, it kills the pain

    Freeze frame capture it
    The stars fell from the sky, in my hands they pulsate
    Into the night they're shattered on the front line
    The devil knows where they hide
    Into the ground he passes by and the lineage dies
    Before I, before I make it home

    The window sill, drowned by the rain
    Swallow the pill, it kills the pain

    Plastic people, paper skies
    Plastic people, paper skies
    Plastic people, paper skies
    Plastic people, paper skies
    In my hands they pulsate
    In my hands they pulsate
    In my hands they pulsate, in my hands

    What ever happened to this band this album was really fucking fantastic

  5. T.... M....

    This is an album that has few contemporaries. A rare and fortuitous meeting of the minds to achieve immortality. The instrument work is instantly *badass* no matter where you randomly pick that contains noise. Joey Culver is an awesome singer and a perfect fit, regardless of whatever drama (inherent to music) occurred. I am somewhat skeptical about a possible reformation that won't include Joey, but I am definitely excited to hear it regardless!
    To me 47 is music that is frozen in time, and it always inspires me to remember greatness will always be available to us if we are willing to pursue it without compromise. Maybe it wasn't the original goal, but everyone involved should be really proud of what VERY few artists can achieve in their art.

  6. C.... M....

    I can only hope 4 more

  7. K.... ....

    They were too ahead of their time. I hope its true they are back together. My heart will soar.

    K.... ....

    Yeah i feel like this would fit in perfectly with the current progressive rock/metal scene.

  8. A.... M....

    My uncle Roy plays

  9. C.... H....

    Officially   back together this makes me so excited!!

  10. N.... N....

    Im from Mississippi. I met someone who knew the drummer.

    N.... N....

    saw them live in 05. blew the headliner (seether) away

    N.... N....

    Yes that CPR fest was so awesome!!

  11. N.... N....

    Why aren't you guys known?

    N.... N....

    Guitarist is gone, singer/bassist changed... its really sad :(

    N.... N....

    Nate passed away. Good chance we're getting back together. Keep your ears open ;)

    N.... N....

    probably because at the time was overshadowed by system of a down at their best. papa roach big at time and not far from korns best days. I'm sure in forgetting a few but I think it was timing.

  12. A.... M....

    The lead singer sounds similiar to Keenan Maynard from APC and Tool...beautiful song though

    A.... M....

    Not really.

    A.... M....

    Yeah, kind of a tool clone band IMHO, but in a good way. Everyone has their influences, and theirs is quite obvious and very well emulated.

    A.... M....

    Pulse Ultra huh? gonna have to check them out now.

    A.... M....

    Alex M *Maynard James Keenan*

    A.... M....

    @*****
    Ugh. Atomship was much better.

  13. B.... D....

    is that the singer?

  14. Y.... R....

    Badass why isn't this viewed what's wrong with people hearing stupid shit like Justin bieber

  15. G.... ....

    They sound similar to Tool, or Tool sounds similar to them...not that it matters , this fucking good music!

  16. T.... ....

    The posted Lyrics are wrong...

  17. 5.... ....

    that shit is fuckin jammin

  18. s.... s....

    yeah i dont get why he went off and made papercut it sounds just the same but doesnt have the soul of atomship these guys where my home town heros

  19. s.... ....

    @vbooy57 I think the Atomship and Beiber crowd would be slightly different from each other. But whatever, keep arguing. I'm sure you bitching about how much Culver sucks will change the opinions of the large amount of people that prefer him.

    s.... ....

    I'd prefer Joey Culver any day. He is a brilliant artist. Writer and all around musician. Who I proudly get to call my brother.

  20. v.... ....

    @seventhirtytwo If that's the only reason Then Justin Beiber is the best singer of all time. If he wasn't that good he wouldn't have hundreds of millions of views. See the problem? Beiber doesn't deserve those views. Same with Culver. Chad, Nate, and Cordell Crocket deserve those views.

    v.... ....

    The fuck....run or fucking fly but hurry the hell up and see a hearing specialist... because Joey Culver and his vocals hands down help if not made the band what it was.

  21. s.... ....

    @liam5moriarty If he wasn't good, then these songs wouldn't have hundreds of thousands of views.

  22. P.... ....

    @seventhirtytwo Joey Culver? Can you please explain?

  23. s.... ....

    Asshole or not, he's a great singer.

  24. v.... ....

    @Mattgoff09 Culver is only credited with writing this song's lyrics, Derek Pardoe wrote pretty much everything else.

    v.... ....

    vbooy57 most of the time someone writes the lyrics it’s usually the singer but not always and someone writes the music that’s usually how songs are written it’s rare to have someone write a whole album by themselves but some can do it Kerry king from slayer does it all the time

  25. P.... ....

    How Ironic is it that joey wrote this about fake people?

    P.... ....

    eRealist 😂

  26. B.... W....

    their sound is so awesome XD

  27. R.... L....

    great song ! and great band ! love it

  28. R.... ....

    i cant seem to find any songs from atomship down, can anyone send me a message where i could listen to their stuff. It be appreciated, atomship forever!

  29. v.... ....

    Naw man it was the 5th

  30. W.... ....

    Its not the same singer, and he sucks in comparison.

  31. T.... M....

    Nathan Slade of Atomship Died on 12/07/09 Rest in piece man!!

    T.... M....

    It was 12/05/09. Sorry for the technicality, but still.

    T.... M....

    Jared Slade
    So glad you guys are back together, and I'm so freaking stoked y'all are coming to Jackson.

  32. B.... N....

    They didn't get rid of the drummer. The singer left. The drummer is still with the band. Atomshipdown.

  33. n.... ....

    Atomship Down sounds EXACTLY like Atomship. I dont know why people complain about them. The drummer doesnt make or break a band unless its a band like Metallica or Rush

  34. A.... ....

    they got rid of the drummer, now the band sucks, this is the only cd they ever made with the drummer

  35. e.... ....

    Every track is better than other.
