Bright Eyes - Firewall Lyrics
If there is no such thing as time, you're already there, and you're controlling this cycle. You say, "Man, look what we found here, Einstein, " or whoever you're talking to, Tesla - whoever you're talking to. Problems of the future can be solved by mankind because you create them. And you have to believe in the future, it's what we have to do. We progress, we always progress - we try to. So the Sumerian tablets, they say the same thing like Genesis said, that there were chariots of fire that came into the sky. And these beings got out of them, and they walked like a man but they had reptilian features. They had snake-like eyes, a tail, and, uh, scales, right? And they were - they were here, and they made slaves out of the people. And where they landed in is what the Bible calls the Garden of Eden. They were trying to inbreed with the people here. The women would die, the babies were deadborn. But after two thousand years they started taking, the babies started being born and living. And they had tails, they had a few reptilian features. They could phase shift from one dimension to another dimension, and the people who know say it's from the fourth dimension - the next dimension. Space is expanding; there are spirits coming from the center, right? We're going counterclockwise. There's supposed to be eight other universes going counterclockwise, and that's called Superuniverse, you know? And love's always been the message. It's just - circumstances happen, right? People freak out, just flat flip out, you know? Well, that's where Hitler came from, Hitler came from that way. He was an outspoken, charismatic yeller. And, and all these people said, "Hey, we'll use this guy, hey, look at all these people listening to this guy." You know what I mean? And so that's just what the trip's like, that. You know? It still exists, and their bloodline goes back - back into Sumerian times. You know, they didn't call it reptilian, they didn't call it that. But they did, because they called him Satan, they called him the Devil, and it's the same damn trip. It's a negative force, coming in on a positive force, because it's a third dimension, right? And for it to solidify or to crystallize, it has to have both elements, right? And you have to keep it in balance, or it will, it will, one of them will destroy the other...
I do my best to sleep through the caterwaul
The classicist, the posture in avant-garde
I bought a gray macaw, named him Jules Verne
Keeps me company, I teach him new words
I saw a hologram at the theme park
She looked as real as me through the white fog
Then she melted down to her ankles
Turned into a million watt candle
If I knew where she went, I would follow
Walking through the land of tomorrow
Martian trinkets, plastic Apollos
My veins are full of flat cherry cola
Slept on a bench by the rollercoaster
Dreamed I was riding on a motorbike
Lion of Judah, painted on the side
I'm doing fine, I'm back in the Palisades
Life's a wash, a pastoral school play
China shops and cold ivory towers
I and I make toast to the Caesars
Forcing down the dregs of Decembers
Madeleine, she spins in a slow bang
All through the house, the strong smell of burnt sage
Let's make it clean and run out the spirits
I know a diving bell when I hear it
We're going down now under the surface
Light to dark can shift in an instant
Feeling close but keeping my distance
On all fours she's just so insistent
Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
Bust through the firewall into Heaven
And then I'm standing in that blinding light
Crooked crosses falling from the sky
Seen yeah seen by I and I [x7]
Seen yeah seen
Seen yeah seen
By I and I

Bright Eyes Firewall Comments
I know this isn’t their best reviewed release, but I’ve never felt more personally connected to an album before or since.
Is the monologue at the beginning of this an alex jones rant
Not especially.
best. muso. alive. hands. down.
her veins are full of flat cherry cola
Nearly two and a half minutes of monologue.
Great band, brilliant music.....but what’s the deal these long intros.
Its the firewall my dude. The veil of fear.
I need to learn to drive so that if there's a nuclear war I can listen to this on repeat while traveling through the ruins of civilizations
time for wen the singing starts?
And a scales....right
Like if you love or hate your mom
READ THE BIBLE!
I love non fiction science horror
these lyrics
The man talking in the beginning, Denny Brewer, died today :'(
i love the ambience at the start of this song
hi could someone please recommend a few books where i can read about these theories, especially about the positive energy/future molding. greatly appreciated thanks!
Read "Ask and It Is Given" by Esther & Jerry Hicks (Teachings of Abraham). Full of powerful info on positive vibrations & creating your future.
books? if you want to learn about the real stuff i would read testimonies of ex-satan worshipers. I'm not saying connor oberst is an occultist but he sure does know alot about it.
He says "madeleine spins in a slow bank" and hes talking about the devil's wife marie madeleine who allegedly lives at the bottom of the mediterranean sea (mcreveil .org/Anglais/witchcraft/PstJonas_en01.html)
He's singing about the holy wall of fire. Listen to john ramirez talk about it @ 17:30 /watch?v=I11L71PD3Lw
With the combination of this album and the numerous testimonies given all over the world that accurately corroborate with one another... You'll see the world differently. Be a good person. Seek jesus (Y)
norma daniela First. the Bible. Al Neal, Steven Dollins, John Todd, & Gail Riplinger. "The History of Redemption" by Richard Collins.
Enzo Ferrari no evidence for Christianity either, it’s not about evidence with belief
Hulk Hogan dropping gems
Fourth Dimension Running Wild, Brother!
Would be a good track on Supernatural.
I love you -someone other than the owner of this device. (btw supernatural is amazing)(and castiel is my baby)
ty charlie kelly
5omekindofblue what????
Genius.
Connor says, "shina shops and cold ivory towers."
For all who are wondering who is at the beginning with the enlightenment, its Conor's friend Denny Brewer.
He sounds like Hank Hill for a second. I thought I was watching King of the Hill meets enlightenment
@Shep Glennon I always thought he sounded like Gary Busey
upsidedownh3art I think he just passed recently.
"Bright EYE" .....
oh and this song is legit.
so....yea
Shout out to Danny Harrera for introducing this song to my friend Austin and I.
You are a musical guru.
You should check out Built to Spill,Silkworm,Centromatic,Brand New,Seam,Sunny Day Real Estate,Minus the Bear,etc. I could go on and on.......Seen these cats 3X and worth it every time. Even through a four hour blizzard for opening show in Chicago on Four Winds EP
Oh man Brand New is probably my favorite band...along side Foo Fighters and The Black Keys. But yea I'll check them out for sure :)
At the drive in is probably more your speed. Along with maybe Dinosaur Jr. and Lemonheads
Lol you trying to compete with my friend Danny for musical guru right now?
:D I am pretty confident in my taste in music, Look out Danny!! check out my radioactive cover on my channel btw :P
DUUUUUUDE I love you
fix your damn account so you can comment back D:<
Hell yea! I love you too dude!! Danny is mai nigguh!
AUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN :D
Who is the intro though!! I thought it was david Icke but he has a British accent... i'm confused
anyone happennn to know the song that plays during the skate shoes ad....
makes more sense than what these idiots preach today
rkb12222 Check out Al Neal.
It made absolutely zero sense. It’s the same shit I hear when I’m trying to enjoy time with myself and someone just comes up to me and starts talking for no goddam reason. They ask me for a cigarette and if I can spare any change.
this is emo?, sounds more like acid trip.
The guy speaking reminds me of Gary Busey.
commonly called "emo" and I don't really care , because this is one of my favorite bands. Tell me tho all you critics : what is music without emotion?
Amazing. I cannot explain what this music has done for me. Love you all.
Yes! I put that on my mix discs all the time!
If you believe anything about aliens has any scientific basis or value.
Your face is a crackpot. Oh snap.
your a crackpot
no, I wont pray for you, because you clearly knew that you had capslock on and still pressed shift at the beginning of your sentence.
I skip it every time. Guy's a crackpot.
Do you guys know this album is based off science fiction? Conor oberst officially states this in a interview. You guys need to stop taking it to the butt.
It was, actually, created by a "total nutjob." He, at least from what information I can gather, was a country music singer that basically went insane. Bright Eyes is in love with him, for some reason, though.
the whole reptillian thing (assuming it wasn't just made up by a total nutjob) was probably created by an actual secret group trying to discredit conspiracy theorists by making people think they're crazy. Focus on real things not science fiction
The man speaking at the beginning sounds EXACTLY like Ray Bradbury. and he always write stories similar to the subject of the beginning. Strange.
cool, never heard his voice but i liked his short stories.
@pemguinman Right on.
A lot of this stuff sounds like stuff from Vonnegut books I've read.
@atheistfreethinker17 Could be a sexual metaphor some might argue, but i like this interpritation
Is this the same guy as the one in the song Sour Grapes by Puscifer, or is that Maynard?
godlike
@plgfritz absolutely not, scientology is bullshit, L. Ron HUbbard was a fraud and a liar. This is based in ancient alien theory that actually has some scientific basis and value.
i listen to this way too much. the other day i legitimately had a dream that i was riding on a motorbike with a lion painted on it..
@thmitherz If you really like what the guy in the beginning is talking about you should research Zacharia Sitchin and the Annunaki. There are entire books written on this subject.
afry925 The Bible (KJV)
@bmxjeffdood LOL
If you think that intro is cool you should research Zacharia Sitchin and the Annunaki because that is what he is referring to.
Man this guy is tripping balls sooo badly.
What is the beginning from? Seem awesome who is doing the talking?
That's some siiiiiick shit! :3
If he were alive, I bet Hunter S. Thompson would love this song.
@juansidious it makes so much sense when you're not tripping too
The guy at the beginning is hilarious. I like how he makes up the word "charamistic."
@thmitherz Danny from Refried Ice Cream, a band, hes just a crazy hippie who is versed in scientific theory...
i dont know about you guys but i listen to the first 2:22 every time.. i love it
is that gary busey in the intro?
that is what going to happen in the future
@quentinpatterson no, it was in St. Louis.
he opened with this last night. it was fucking incredible. best show of my life.
i'll see them live in a month :) can't wait!!!
@BrightEyes10003 no it wasn't, dumbass. conor oberst already confirmed it. check your shit before you are rude to other people. christ almighty.
@rabbitnosekid this was their last album dumbass
Why the hell is friday in the suggestions box for this!?
i like how every time i listen to this song, it reminds me that i'm going to see Bright Eyes in less than a month. the anticipation mounts with every visit.
@OuiOuiMonsieur you are ridiculous ..you are probably the one who made that crappy webpage of nonsense.
If you guys do not know what this man is talking about, go look up 'The Lacerta Files' are educate yourself. When I first heard this, I went into shock.
haha i love the tag. conor oberst is so freaking amazing. holy jesus. another thought, i know conor puts the weird stuff at the beginning of his album to ward off casual listeners. that may be his intent, but it always intrigues this frequent listener. very interesting stuff.
who's the narrator, or who wrote it?
BECAUSE IT'S DA THIRD DIMENSION.
Whos the man talking about the reptiles? At begining of the song fire wall
Really? A whole two minutes of listening to the creepy guy from old western movies? REALLY?? But the song is freakin' awesome! Hope i can scrape up enough money to see them at Cochella. Stupid expensive tix :(
wow that narrative is awful...
@JLCrazy25 You're a tool, and you do little for the appreciation of any music. Since when has the message of this music been to stereotype fellow fans on their tastes?
i love bright eyes. definitely in my top 3 bands. but, as much as i love them, i can tell that conor really doesnt want to write for them anymore. MAN, and the mystic valley band cant even come within 100 miles of bright eyes.... this really upsets me..
R.I.P. bright eyes :'(
Crazy is as crazy does. We always progress.....one way is evolution. Our cerebral cortex is evolving and getting bigger, One way we have recognized this is in our ability to see an array of different colors as opposed to when we were like primates and only saw a handful of them. The common person is fairly smart, but we have no idea what the next step of evolution will be or what it will look like, but I think you will see examples of it in the people we tag as "crazy"
@rawnourished
The sun is starting to rise, my dude.
the lesson is: dont do drugs
I believe Denny Brewer is the shaman
@tdwpkillz I read in Rolling Stone today that it's Conner's biker friend.
anybody know who's talking at the beginning of this?
@sonicadv27
the ancient astronaut theory aka jesus was an alien
why the reference to the Reptilian theory?
@JLCrazy25 i don't listen to paramore anymore. i made with account 3 years ago when i was on a paramore kick. shortly after i was introduced to bright eyes, and they have been my favorite ever since.
at any rate, no, the album leaked a day or two before saddle creek put it up on their website and added it to youtube. i added the damn album (before it was formally released) so other minions could listen. quit being a whiney bitch.
@LapsedCatholic i totally agree with you.
i love how much conor is eclectic, he can play and compose every kind of music so well... i think that "firewall" sounds almost like a grunge song, especially at the beginning. (:
i can't wait to see them live!
@Himmelskost an individual said that "perfection does not exist" then pointed his malcontenment at this album. In studying western philosophy, we learn that perfection does exist -- yet the world is an approximation of what is perfect. One must look beyond their own sense of arrogance in order to see the perfection in all things. Truly, in all things, equally, Perfect does exist. That is exactly what Conor is singing about. Namaste.
@chomskyy no it leaked like 2 days or so before bright eyes technically released the songs.
@peacock427 you win :]
@slspf2 You obviously haven't studied Plato or western philosophy. You're just a malcontent who knows how to spell. So shut it.
I didn't know Jeff Bridges was on the album.
The Shaman is either brilliant, or literally insane.. or both. Maybe that's why they call him a shaman? Either way.. I love this album, end of Bright Eyes perhaps.. but not the end of Conor, or Mike.
@EasyLuckyFree50 Lmao..me too..i got the full deluxe package too..
@EasyLuckyFree50 Haha i feel exactly the same way man. Such a dilemma. I'm gonna listen to this one then wait it out for the rest...Gotta be good fans. Why did i take the time to write out this whole comment? I dont think ive ever identified with a youtube comment to this degree. So thats it
@EasyLuckyFree50 Nice, if I could at the moment I would support him and when the album comes out I shall but in the mean time, I can't even wait! Kudos to you if you wait. PS it rocks!
@EasyLuckyFree50 the whole album leaked yesterday, and I already all the unreleased songs on my channel haha.
