Bloc Party. - Leaf Skeleton Lyrics

London at night...

Bloc Party have this catchy little something in their songs that keeps me coming back for more and makes me love them more with each song.

The song is one big allusion to the Bhagavad Gita. Absolutely beautiful track!

This is the second best Bloc Party song, after Luno. Seriously. I know more about music than you...

The journey starts
As all around a battle rages on
Arjuna seeks
He throws his bow and conch up to the sky
Open your eyes, it's all around you

The pain that you're feeling
Goes some way to believing hope
The light from inside us
It goes on and on and on
On and on and on

It's in his hands
The glow of flame, the purest water
After he dies, he will rise on wings
Of true, the truest love
Open your eyes, it starts all over

The pain that you're feeling
Goes some way to believing hope
The light from inside us
Goes some way to define us all
The pain that you're feeling
Goes some way to believing joy

Can you see the pattern?
Why cant you see the pattern?

It's all around us

WOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Four was just... not good, overall. There were a handful of songs that reminded me of old Bloc Party, but I JUST listened to this song after a falling out with supporting BP years ago, and I have to say that this is making me feel so nostalgic. I love it, and I miss the original Bloc Party so much.

four was great, i much prefer it to AWITC and sometimes even to SIlent Alarm

listen to it more sometimes

You are a gay asian

@Erguotou and so are you

lolz at Crewskater. Great track. They got it back me thinks!

Looks like one person can't see the pattern.

you MUST love this refrain !

Have they ever played this live apart from that one time at "The Orange Peel"?

Amazing tune

Thid music is overwhelming me with happiness. Thank you for sharing. Im going through some shit and i love this.

Really good song!

BP, please DO issue a B-sides album for your eager fans ! We are many to be craving yr B-sides, and hoping that one such album will be out someday...

So please...?

Agreed~ .. They're the first band I discovered for myself, almost seven years ago. They're right up there with Snakes Say Hisss and That Handsome Devil :3

Fuck me HOW have I not discovered this band before? Every track I've heard so far is genius.

Lol, I am discovering it now!

i really hope they play this at their concert
gonna see them soon in march
so excited bought tickets already... :P

like dis if everytiem you cry

I think Bloc Party is always trying something new, experimenting new styles,
and that's why this track didn't make it in the album.
This sounds more like their old style(not saying it's bad, it's a great song),
but in a new album they want to show us new stuff they're doing recently.
I like the old style, but I like those seemingly strange new songs like Coliseum as well.
It's the most interesting part of listening to Bloc Party.
Just my opinion:D

Amazing track!

THIS IS MORE OF THE STUFF I WANT TO BE HEARING MAN! get this on the album :(

Welcome to the reality of being a Bloc Party fan. Their b-sides are usually better than their album tracks.

nar coliseum is cooler

they should make their next album like this song....its awesome

I don't get how Coliseum made the album and this didn't
