Bright Eyes - Lua Lyrics






I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening; by the morning they'll be gone.

When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend
I get a coffee and the paper; have my own conversations
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit.

And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not a gamble you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist.

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back
Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a drag.

I've got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train
If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane.

And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is
It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated
It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight
So simple in the moonlight

    "Its not something, I would recommend, but it is one way to live."

    Drug life explained perfectly.

  5. d.... ....

    I was looking for people talking about the programming language lua, not to catch the feels ;(((

    Beside Life Is Strange this could clearly be used in Bojack Horseman!

  11. E.... V....

    my ex used to love this song. i cant stop playing it even though i feel so much pain listening to it

  12. 8.... ....

    Oh my ol high school songs...

    Brand new - mix tape
    And this one...

  13. M.... C....

    Saw mvb in 2009. Fell in love. Cant believe how old I've become

    "Supplies are endless in the evening, by the morning they'll be gone."

  16. H.... ....

    The modern version of this song is, horse head- easy for you

  17. B.... C....

    Being an alcoholic who has had tons of trouble due to liquor, every single word in this song makes me feel understood. Tears just drop out. It’s so painful and beautiful at the same time :(

  18. s.... v....

    this is beautiful

  19. D.... D....

    blame it on some deep-rooted psychological itch when I'm really just a dick

  20. S.... L....

    i named my daughter Lua in 2013 <3 <3

    I quoted this on my Facebook years ago. My memories lead me back here. I missed this song ❤

  22. t.... ....

    To Claudia i met years ago in France =)

  23. G.... A....

    im new here

  24. A.... C....

    This is my favorite song to dramatically stare out of windows in melancholy.

  25. M.... B....

    I just realized that the song could be interpreted differently. Perhaps the moonlight refers to his darkest moments and the morning when he has glimpses of hopes. His thoughts seem simple when he feels that way, it makes sense, but once he snaps back to reality, he worries about going back and it gets complicated.

  26. F.... G....

    This song is about cocaine.

    And beautiful.

  27. a.... ....

  28. P.... P....

    *"The love i sell you in the evening,by the morning won't exist"*

  29. F.... M....

    this is physically making my chest hurt.

  30. B.... ....

    Lol I was 14, almost 7 years ago and so alone. this was my anthem. Coming back I can almost see myself dissolving into this with my eyes closed, learning how to play it, singing it a hundred times. growing w music like this provides a necessary and candid soundtrack without which I’m not sure I could have survived without.

  31. B.... G....

    Make a plan to love me

  32. S.... M....

    You look skinny like a model

  33. l.... M....

    Whomever did the artwork rocks

  34. J.... D....

    A good feeling for us in 19' id say

  35. H.... D....

    This song is serenity.

  36. S.... P....

    This is one of those time capsule songs. It takes me right to living in Montreal in 06.

  37. M.... M....

    Hey! Check out our cover version of the song: https://youtu.be/xuBHTP4a-4w

  38. G.... s....

    This song would go perfect with playing Assassin's creed Syndicate or a World war 2 Assassin's creed game it would really capture the darkness and hopelessness of the world war

  39. R.... ....

    I never realized what this song was about until it started happening to me

  40. J.... K....

    I am from Germany and I have two friends from Brazil who´ve known me ever since I was born. When I finally got to visit them in Brazil, I listened to Bright Eyes a lot. Being back home, every time I listen to this music again, all the memories I made on this journey come back to me. Now, those friends of mine are musicians and my all-time favourite song by them is called "Lua". Only now I discovered that there is also a "Lua" by Bright Eyes and it makes me smile... sometimes it seems like everything is connected somehow. I uploaded the other "Lua" so you can listen to it too: https://youtu.be/ROO2xKZtCws

  41. a.... r....

    This is for the friend of boyfriend who I shared an unspoken love with

  42. A.... D....

    This song helped me through my breakup.
    Sometimes the right song can feel like a holding hand when you need it most.

  43. k.... s....

    my buddy and i were about to deploy to Iraq as Navy Corpsmen (medics) with the Marines. We went and saw Bright Eyes and CocoRosie, tripping balls on Robotussin. 15 years later, these songs still speak to me. Miss you Childrey

  44. H.... J....

    This song remind me so much of Rue and Jules from Euphoria

    H.... J....

    Holy shit right?

  45. J.... S....

    Mac Miller has an amazing cover of this song

  46. M.... ....

    why is it called Lua?

    M.... ....

    Maša Lua means moon in Portuguese :)

  47. v.... ....

    is it only me or I thought the roblox admin "BrightEyes" wrote this song about the programming language "Lua" lmao

  48. S.... ....

    The fact ill never be able to experience LIS again ):

  49. R.... E....

    Is he crying during the recording? Or just a shaky voice ?

  50. G.... ....

    kto w 2019?

  51. D.... C....

    I miss NYC. The old NYC. Pre Guiliani days where we rented by the obits and taxis threw us out at bridges

  52. S.... P....

    "but what was normal by the evening by the morning seems insane" and "but what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is" really hit hard, and I feel like Conor is talking about Suicide. At the end of a long hard day, you're ready to give up and let it all go, but if you don't do it you fall asleep and in the morning, you feel better, and you recall those memories and think "why would I want to do that?". The lyrics in this whole song honestly just perfectly represent the sadness that the human mind can produce, and it's honestly refreshing to hear that someone else understands exactly what it's like without you saying a word.

  53. J.... ....

    weird to say this but this song makes me feel i'm in a different place.

  54. J.... J....

    The second verse hits me too dam hard

  55. m.... o....

    this is what i need rn

  56. M.... M....

    I hate that this is me

  57. f.... b....

    Sounds like easy for you by horse head

  58. C.... P....

    is this a song about a desperate beta male feminist?

    C.... P....

    maybe it's about you

    C.... P....

    Drug addiction. It's weird, you're not usually the type that thinks it's a romantic song

  59. h.... ....

    what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning, never is

  60. D.... N....

    I wish I could play acoustic, for those rare moments I want to play it. I would play this

    D.... N....

    This is a great song for a beginning guitar player.

  61. S.... _....

    This song is so raw, I feel it

  62. n.... c....

    😭😭😭

  63. J.... W....

    If this all happened to day, they could've just called an uber to get to the party.

    They wouldn't have needed to walk in the cold, and maybe the whole night would have turned out differently!

  64. m.... ....

    listened to it for the first time at the age of 14, listening to it again with 19 gives it a whole new meaning and it´s even more sad then I thought it was

    m.... ....

    Oh poor you. Listen to it when you're 36 and then tell us how you feel. 😁😁😁

    m.... ....

    @Jrob 46&2 lmao, I will!

  65. S.... ....

    Okay so I knew about life is strange before I found this song the thing is I didnt relize it was on the soundtrack but I was thinking "damn this belongs on life is strange" that how you know it's so perfect

  66. I.... ....

    L(a)u(r)a ?

  67. S.... C....

    3:27 his voice is trembling like he's about to cry...

  68. R.... 6....

    But me I'm not a gamble you can count on me to split
    The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist.

  69. E.... K....

    i know that it is cold, but somebody lock the door...

  70. M.... e....

    Who else here because of Rendog?

  71. T.... D....

    Thumbs up if Ren Dog sent you here

  72. L.... S....

    Rendog thank you for singing this song for your livestream it was amazing

  73. a.... ....

    I feel homesick of Arcadia bay since Life is strange 1, it's stamp that cannot go away for years, only ppl who played it knows I'm talking about...

    a.... ....

    Yeah me too buddy,got so attached to the game that I felt absolutely shattered when I finished it.

  74. V.... V....

    Life is strange. I'm crying, sorry.. Thank you for this.

  75. m.... t....

  76. F.... b....

    LYRICS
    I know that it is freezing
    But I think we have to walk
    Keep waving at the taxis
    They keep turning the lights on
    But Julie knows a party at some actor's westide loft
    Supplies are endless in the evening
    By the morning they'll be gone
    And everything is lonely
    I can be my own best friend
    I get a coffee and the paper
    Have no phone conversations
    With the sidewalk and the pigeons
    And my window reflection
    When I start polishing in the evening
    By the morning looks like shit
    And I know you have a heavy heart
    I can feel it when we kiss
    So many men stronger than me
    Have thrown their backs out trying to live
    Yeah but me I'm not a gamble
    You can count on me to split
    But what I tell you in the evening
    By the morning won't make sense
    You looking skinny like a model
    With your eyes all painted black
    Just keep going to the bathroom
    Only say you'll be right back
    Well it takes one to know one kid
    I think you've got it bad
    But what's so easy in the evening
    By the morning it's such a drag
    Got a flask inside my pocket
    We can share it on the train
    And if you promise to stay conscious
    I'll try to do the same
    Well we might die from that medicine
    But we sure killed all the pain
    What was normal in the evening
    By the morning seems insane
    And I'm not sure what the trouble was
    What started all of this
    The reasons all have run away
    But the feeling never did
    It's not something I would recommend
    But it is one way to live
    Cause what is simple in the moonlight
    By the morning never is
    It was simple in the moonlight
    Now it's so complicated

    m.... S....

    It was so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight.

    m.... S....

    But someone already wrote it, it's in the top comments.

  80. A.... C....

    We might die from medication but we sure killed all the pain

  81. R.... P....

    This is my life without you

    R.... P....

    you are a strong, stubborn guy, i know youll be okay, i know you will, i always be here for you

  82. K.... ....

    I use to listen to this when i was paralyzed by suicidal thoughts, lying in my bed in the middle of the night. This song was just like a friend that would take my hand and help me fall asleep. I don't know why this song is so comforting to me, but it helped me so much.
    Thanks <3

  83. R.... G....

    I came here to learn a coding language but this is fine

  84. T.... Y....

    I wanna die

    T.... Y....

    :/
    * hugs you *
    You wanna write?

  85. M.... T....

    it seem's like when he was singing he almost cried at 3:27

  86. T.... e....

    I don't want to feel or think anymore.

  87. T.... ....

    And I have came across another music that would keep me as the depressed person. This song is bitter sweet.

  88. M.... k....

    Its funny how it took years of fucking up to really understand this song for me. But now i do and i can listen to this song and look at the past. There really is some sort of sad romance in it all.

  89. R.... ....

    Melon is a sad half bald man

  90. S.... F....

    im only here because of the late great musician Malcolm James McCormick. He IS my hero... This song explains so much about what he was going through and I feel the same.

  91. a.... m....

    Any one here because of troian bellisaro and keegon allen / spencer and toby

  92. r.... ....

    Never thought there would b a song called the same thing as my name
