Bat For Lashes - Pearl's Dream Lyrics






There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
It's not a place I have seen
But I'll get there in a new dream

Down an ocean road
Past a sign that says "good love town"
Into a darkness where the stars do drown
Where the starry me needs to be free

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
For my heart is a child
That stumbles lonely for the arms of a bride

Hear the desert sigh
Sing the city's lullaby
The giant iris of the wide blue sky
Showing me the way

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand (k)nights gone
To any kingdom I run

You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders

    I love this beautiful woman. I watched this tonight for inspiration, and enjoyed getting to know the album for the first time like I did in 2010? when she played Ellysium in Austin. Pearl's Dream, Daniel, and many more bring me back to a time looking for love and to be me. I will. Thank you.

    She doesn't get enough recognition but if she fitted in to the mainstream, she wouldn't be as good. She'd be too good to reach no.1 nowadays!

    The Arcturians are using dreams to psychologically model and control Humans. They call it "mental screening" where a race treats your brain like a movie theatre and can screen whatever mental image they want. Their purpose in choosing to initially experiment with me is to eventually inflict their control over you. In effect, the brain doesnt rest, I feel like I havent slept in over a year. They can also erase dream memory, which means its heavy programming and fucking sketchy. They can control sleep duration. Seeing how sleep and dream deprivation works over time, they are gathering data on how best to use your revealed personal information to craft dream imagery through active telepathic decoding which causes sleep deprivation, a build up of beta amyloid plaque, neuronal misfires causing spasm, symptoms of brain damage, eye pain, headaches, high pitched buzzing, and cutting off healthy subconscious processing. // Their imposing to do this means only one thing: Control. Abusive, ruthless, and desperate control. // They are manipulating brains like a battery, turning information around, seeing how the response reacts to the stimulus, playing into those concepts. Dream manipulation is an imprisonment technique used to condition and starve the mind. Both dream manipulation and constant telepathy has negative neurophysiological effects, it results in headaches, confusion, memory loss, vision impairment, rest deprivation. // They can enact this from some distance too, its possible that there is an active technological accelerant, a headband that can amplify their telepathy. // The solutions so far that Ive found that can mitigate this would be a heavy covering of the brainstem, top, and temples with Velostat or Linqstat, and shielding the soles of the feet. // Cursing those motherfuckers only inflames their pig-heart.

    S.... ....

    Bat For Lashes - Pearl's Dream (jozif Edit) [White Label] (but I can't actually find it on youtube--just some twisted version thereof). It was featured on the latest We Are All Astronauts Podcast on Alleys Radio. I am looking for it tonight, coincidentally.

  55. L.... L....

    @theraperance Hey I like Lilly too , you can't compare them they have different styles .

  56. S.... I....

    @ChrisTiNaThEFaMe it it "I was promised my sun"

  57. t.... ....

    I really like this song. I do.

    But WHAT THE FUCK is going on?

    I kinda get it, but then I don't, but then I guess the title pretty much says it's a dream so...

  58. c.... d....

    me encantan bat for lashes es lo mejor de la musica inglesa

  59. e.... ....

    Hairy arms~

    Haha, nice song

  62. N.... K....

    Wow! This song is amazing!!

  63. J.... ....

    One of the best song/vids of all time.

  64. l.... ....

    this is so trippy yet so beautiful........ I LOVE IT !!!!!

  65. J.... b....

    Lily Allen is way hotter than this chick, just put pause at 0:43 lol! she looks like a transvestite!!!

    J.... b....

    Fuck you, bitch

  66. J.... ....

    this UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA piece is incredibly magical <3 One of my all-time favs... shame its so short..if this track was built on this extract I could die for it. But it's not.... :(

  67. j.... ....

    english artists have this weird yet very sensible value in making music. they produce the sound that is haunting, lasting, and relentlessly mind-blowing. :)

  68. c.... d....

    esta song esta super genial ya que tambien ella es genial

  69. m.... ....

    She has a David Bowie(Goblin King) look going in this vid. I like it ^__^

  70. V.... P....

    theraperance i totally agree with you!!!

  71. j.... ....

    Eu nunca tinha visto um lobo tão grande...

  72. a.... ....

    wow what a shit video

  73. h.... ....

    la amoooooo perdidamente con toda mi locura habida y por haber B)

  74. S.... ....

    The howl at 0.48 is just absolutely haunting. Superb.

  75. M.... K....

    @theraperance maybe its lilly allen who looks like natasha? :) hehe
    by the way.. to my mind natashas hair is the only thing which somehow may bring to mind lilly allen accociation. Their faces are totally different for example.

  76. G.... ....

    @theraperance no one better then the other you cant compare then only their looks but their music is completely different. lily has a more happy and uplifting music and natasha has a cool chilling and dark side to her music their both good in their own way...

  77. J.... G....

    she reminds em of kate bush

    J.... G....

    Omg thank you for that. I kept wanting to search for that artist and for the love of God could not remember her song just her music. Its been a couple of months and now i can look her up. Thank you. Jasna Georgiesvka
