Bright Eyes - Jejune Stars Lyrics






Every new day is a gift, it's a song of redemption
Any expression of love is the way to return
To that place that I think of so often, but now never mention
The one the voice in the back of my head says that I don't deserve

Come fire, come water, come karma
We're all in transition
The wheel I'm becoming erases the physical mind
Until all that remains is a staircase of misinformation
And the code we inherit, the basis, the essence of life

So I go, umbrella under my arm
Into the green of the radar
How'd it get so dark in the day?
It's just so bizarre
Is it true what we're made of?
Why do I hide from the rain?

Inside's so cloudy, nostalgia
But there are no features
Look at ourselves through a porthole
The passage of time
See that sunny day that we snuck out, hid under the bleachers
Kissed as the band marched
Everything fell into line

So I go, umbrella under my arm
Into the green of the radar
How'd I get so lost? I'm amazed
It's just so bizarre
All the things I'm afraid of
Why do I hide from the rain?

Sure I have my doubts
But I know it now
We are Jejune stars
So it starts again
At our childhood's end
I'll die young at heart

So I go, umbrella under my arm
Into the green of the radar
How'd it get so dark in the day?
It's just so bizarre
If it's true what we're made of
Why do I hide from the rain?

    Reminds me of 3rd grade (came out when I was in third grade) I was definitely raised into a emo/ edgy lord

  5. M.... F....

    This is my favorite Bright Eyes song and I hope to one day hear it in person.

  6. M.... M....

    7 years later and this song still goes so hard, so many songs don't even have half the energy this does

  7. K.... J....

    Sorry girlies. That is his wife in the video. You will never have him.

  8. y.... m....

    Lmao I went from A Perfect Sonnet to this and it shocked the fuck out of me

    J.... s....

    Sum 41 is actually a very good band. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Nonetheless both are good bands. There's no need to hate.

    J.... s....

    +Allan Heredia My God...this is the most disarming comment I've ever read on this site. Kudos, my man.

    Beautiful. Such lyrical beauty, I can hear these as though I have imagined them myself. The music is magic, just right. One of my favorite pieces of music ever. 

  20. D.... P....

    don't you talk like that and make me sad

    Yes, I want to marry him. Or at least kiss his face, shake his hand and say, Thank You...

  28. R.... W....

    Are Bright Eyes gonna make any more albums, or was People's Key the last?

  29. M.... W....

    His sad beautiful lyrics stopped me from offing myself....

  30. M.... W....

    Just beautiful...

  31. M.... F....

    Did you see that footwork in the beginning? He is so adorable!! >.<

  32. E.... ....

    Do you understand rape culture? It is when society is to blame for incidents of rape. Of course I am a product of rape culture because I am a part of it, I live in it every day as do you and you are also a product of rape culture. I don't create rape culture or influence it at all, I didn't say a word about how society is making rapes occur I said that people who pull the humanitarian card get more attention because everybody loves the ill informed "good guy" over the realistic "bad guy".

  33. M.... ....

    You sound like a product of the rape culture. People like you are the reason there is a such thing as rape culture.

  34. E.... ....

    I'm quite sure I don't need to get over myself. I don't think anyone on the internet cares at all about how ridiculous American rape culture is. I'm not being ignorant, because ignorance is not knowing and I know plenty about how stupid it is that someone who pulls the humanitarian card can get such great notice and get 52 upvotes.

  35. M.... ....

    You're being ignorant. You should get over yourself.

  36. S.... R....

    This is not my account... oopsie.

  37. S.... R....

    This album is unbelievably in sync with my current worldview. The wisdom and elegance conveyed through every line just floors me. When I'm in the right state of mind I can feel the energy of the sound, I can see the line of separation between external and internal as imaginary, and I and I just am. It's true what we're made of.

  38. K.... N....

    What the fuck, they used a shit ton of Production Assistants, wtf for a music video? Thats absurd, especially one like this that is just in one place.

  39. G.... J....

    He has saved my life and I would love to thank him as well, If I get the chance first I will give him your thanks along with mine!!

  40. G.... J....

    We love and miss you in New Hampshire Conor!!!

  41. z.... ....

    Well, I'm not a child. No, I am
    much younger than that.

  42. Z.... P....

    He is my imaginary best friend..

  43. E.... T....

    this entire comment section... very jejune.

  44. E.... ....

    Get over yourself you pompous humanitarian.

  45. B.... ....

    So technically, it's counter-evolution? :D

  46. M.... H....

    can we just take a moment to appreciate that this exists

  47. L.... W....

    Oh, and by the way...do you even KNOW the definition of rape? I'm pretty sure you never forced the play/replay button OR this conversation to have sex unwillfully...so, as I said, I am correct.

  48. L.... W....

    Oh yes, I am just so upset and distraught over this tiny little disagreement, I am going to go "cry face down!" Go get a life, take a couple etiquette classes, and move on :)

  49. N.... H....

    his legs >.<

  50. L.... W....

    And by the way, that's like saying someone running around calling everyone a "nigger" is okay because hey, it's a free country and fuck the fact that people get offended. Case closed, you obviously don't understand where there are acceptable and where it's best to keep quiet. Have a wonderful day!

  51. L.... W....

    It took me four weeks to reply because I have a life outside of proving people wrong and being on the computer. If I actually thought you were correct I would have said so.

  52. L.... W....

    Like I said; just because someone laughs doesn't mean it should become an everyday thing. I personally find it very offensive and rude when people joke about it. And "freedom of speech" means the right to voice your opinions and such; NOT take no account to other people's thoughts and feelings and back up your rudeness with "lololol freedom of speech bitch." Your argument is horrible and very biased.

  53. R.... S....

    why is this not HD ?

  54. M.... M....

    I listen to this song sometimes when I'm having a bad day. Cheers me right up. This man has the greatest lyrics.

  55. L.... W....

    Whether language is changed throughout the course of its existence doesn't mean it's okay to use it in certain context. If someone was raped before, comes to a youtube video and says "lololol i raped da replay button" being used as a JOKE they'll be offended. Same for the way that "gay" has gone from being a word that means happy and/or homosexual to being a term used to insult someone/something. Some words just don't need to be used in certain ways. And in no way is it "Shakespearean"

  56. U.... ....

    I'd hate to be the drummer, bein hit by sparks and shit

  57. P.... ....

    Seriously. I'm tired of seeing entitled people whining like they have some sort of RIGHT to not be offended. Get offended, move on, grow up.

  58. s.... ....

    I can't help but say I've felt the same exact way. Listening to him over the years feels like he's growing with me.

  59. T.... T....

    Grow the fuck up.

  60. m.... ....

    Um.... The Cure?

  61. s.... ....

    i couldn't have said it better!!!

  62. D.... ....

    CONOR ERRMERRGERRD IR SO BEAUTIFUL ITS LIKE UR JESUS OMG IM LIKE DYING AHHH AS DFGJLDAFHKLL GAS HJHH derp

  63. C.... M....

    musical and lyrical genii

  64. c.... g....

    We get it, Conor is attractive. I dislike seeing so many comments fan-girling over his looks. I mean thats just an added bonus I guess... Anyway. I love this song and video. The people's key is such an amazing record. Conor is playing Philly in Novemeber & I haveeeee to go! Need to see him live, it's on my bucket list.

  65. I.... ....

    rat tail.

  66. c.... ....

    Bringing back the ponytail!!!

  67. G.... S....

    i love seeing conor's growth. it is a total projection of so many of us that started listneing when we were sad all the the time. His music has kept me sane, i grew up with it.. and I still am growing from it.
    light & love to you all.

  68. B.... ....

    Better not let Aragorn see this comment.

  69. M.... O....

    This album is different from the rest, but different in such an amazing way. Oberst and Mogis are brilliant as always.

  70. A.... ....

    he used to be my imaginary best friend

  71. c.... ....

    umad?

    Damn this song rules fyi

  72. r.... f....

    his hands looked like a pomegranate i don't know why he called it pomegranate

  73. a.... ....

    he's still mine :)

  74. u.... ....

    at around 0:20 he's just about humping his guitar. I would not mind if that were me... Holler

  75. e.... ....

    question... why do they need three electric pianos?

  76. A.... S....

    I'd love to be that microphone. Seriously.

  77. p.... ....

    conor rocks that rat tail.

  78. b.... s....

    Fuck that. Everyone should be able to say whatever they want. They should not be prevented from saying anything by default... of course they still must face the consequences of their words.

  79. A.... M....

    fizikıl maaaaaaaaaaaaynd

  89. 1.... ....
