Celldweller - Tainted Lyrics






It's not a question of why and if she'll make it
It's more a question of when and how she'll take it
Standing out there alone completely naked
Another secret's been kept and left her tainted

There's nothing more she can do to make them change it
She does the best that she can to rearrange it
There's still the question of how she's grown so tainted
A tattered canvas unfurls, watch as they paint it

[Chorus:]
She's at the edge of the world
She's there standing alone
She's the loneliest girl
And now she finally feels like she's coming home

[Bridge:]
Slowly fading and decaying
Please ignore what they're saying [x4]

She fought them bravely until defenses caved in
Pressing their teeth to her neck until she gave in
Now there's no question this girl is well acquainted
With suffering in a world that's left her tainted

[Chorus:]
She's at the edge of the world
She's there standing alone
She's the loneliest girl
And now she finally feels like she's coming home

She's just done what she’s been told
Her heart is turning to stone
Here at the end of this girl
This time she finally feels like she's coming home

Like she's coming home
Like she's coming home
Slowly fading and decaying
Please ignore what they're saying
Like she's coming home
She's at the edge of the world
Like she's coming home
Slowly fading and decaying
Please ignore what they're saying
Like she's coming home
She's at the edge of the world
Like she's coming home
Like she's coming home
Slowly fading and decaying
Please ignore what they're saying

She's coming home

  3. H.... ....

    Feels very Muse-y to me, at least musically. Gives me a Supermassive Black hole vibe.

  4. K.... V....

    1:51
    *Ear orgasm*

  5. S.... S....

    I'm a writer. This kind of music really sets the mood for writing about my protagonist. Short, scarred, drug smuggler girl (16) on the verge of suicide.

  6. t.... ....

    when the chorus starts it automatically evokes sympathy and makes you cry in your subconsious.

  7. D.... M....

    such wow, much addicted

  8. K.... ....

    Klayton proves that talent and hard work > popular record deal

  9. b.... ....

    Klayton, I will definitely never be able to thank you enough for this song. It always brings tears to my eyes, but not tears of pain, not exactly. Your Music (and this song in particular) has always helped me through some tough times. If I could have a super-power, I would want to be able to make you understand the way your Music makes me feel, the way your Music has always saved and healed me. I have absolutely no intention of flattering you, but if you ever read this comment, please know that you are the only artist who created so many worlds in which I totally find myself. If I didn't know better, I'd believe you actually know me. Thank you.

  10. C.... T....

    3:47, thought I got a Steam message

    C.... T....

    Oh, seriously
    Me too, I've been feeling like that for years every time I listen to this song

  11. N.... S....

    This song just drips epicness everywhere. I love every single one of these songs!
    You've got my subscription, like and all my support!

    Keep it up dude! You're the best!

  12. E.... `....

    who dares to dislike this??? :O

    E.... `....

    +Kitty KitKat The Tainted.

    E.... `....

    omg yes! what a fabulous pun!...or criss angel! XD

  13. p.... s....

    I'm so addicted to your music new and old.

    p.... s....

    phoenix stone Same!

    p.... s....

    Same here, amazing artist.

  14. h.... ....

    Are those Shadow vessels from B5 in the picture????

    h.... ....

    Nah, my guess, the "Black Star" of the album. Shadow Vessels are pretty hard to miss, and very spider like. Thats not it.

  15. B.... ....

    one of the best songs on the blackstar album...

  16. K.... L....

    Notice that at some point in the song , when Celldweller says She is on the edge of the world, picture apear where that angel sits on Celldweller's logo ;] like he is that edge :)

  17. N.... ....

    @mistermanrocks HOLY FUCK YOUR RIGHT!!

  18. p.... ....

    @Dekropttiv I GUESS SO LOL

  19. p.... ....

    @Dekropttiv I think you need help.

  20. F.... ....

    @Dekropttiv Nah, its the music manipulating your mind into a optical illusion O.o

  21. c.... ....

    @ArtemisTheCuteMute I guess he knew that the picture does move, he just wanted to make some kind of joke, which apparently has been appreciated by many people - surprising that this kind of humour proves that one "has no idea what real music is, because they're only interested in pretty moving pictures" - haven't known that before...

  22. P.... B....

    @mistermanrocks it is!!!!!

  23. D.... S....

    I posted this for someone else, but for anyone who is gonna say "OMG THE PICTURE"S MOVING!!!111ONE!, i got somethign for you: Who cares if the picture's moving? I swear I can hear someone singing and a tight beat behind him. Who cares about the pic? The music is all that matters. Thumbs up if you know what REAL music is, and you're not interested in pretty moving pictures.

  24. D.... S....

    @mistermanrocks Who cares if the picture's moving? I swear I can hear someone singing and a tight beat behidn him. Who cares about the pic? The music is all that matters. And anyone who thumbed up on this has no idea what real music is, because they're only interested in pretty moving pictures.

  25. M.... ....

    I can't believe I didn't know about this song until now! Gotta rape the replay button! <3

  26. K.... F....

    i want to creat such pictures too but i got no skill for it :(

  27. V.... ....

    I cant't help it, but this is one of my favourite songs from Wish Upon a Blackstar... It's so strange that it's almost exotic...

  28. T.... ....

    It is probably best for all of us fans that Klayton doesn't go mainstream... every artist that goes mainstream goes bad.

  29. D.... M....

    @mistermanrocks It IS moving

  30. C.... Z....

    @mistermanrocks Dude you're wrong your screen is moving.....

  31. T.... M....

    the album cover is more representing of this song than i thouhgt. the lines "standing out there alone" and stuff...damn.

  32. x.... ....

    This is SO fucking good it's breaking the universe. Goodbye everyone.

  33. M.... K....

    @G1gaherz Theres a difference between good and popular, Klayton is the very definition of good and good things are hard to come by on this world. Being popular just means being a daily annoyance.

    I guess you could say by being one you sacrifice the other... -_-

  34. K.... ....

    my fav song by celldweller <3

  35. A.... A....

    when i gonna make a black ops montage ! by hazard cinema <-- sub !
    add me PrinceOFnitro :) only snipezz<3

  36. P.... V....

    celldweller rock forever

  37. P.... M....

    awesome :]

  38. D.... ....

    one M0:00RE TIMEEE

  39. K.... ....

    @G1gaherz

    Real stars doesn't need any fame.

  40. a.... r....

    I bought this song from the Fixt store! That's saying something because I usually don't buy software, let alone music.

  41. W.... ....

    @G1gaherz Because Klayton doesn't want to have mainstream fame. He supports himself by allowing TV shows, movies and video games to use his music for their products or trailers.

    If he wanted to, he could easily get his shit played on the radio.

  42. T.... ....

    ΤΟ ΚΑΛΙΤΕΡΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ ΠΟΥ ΕΧΩ ΑΚΟΥΣΕΙ ΠΟΤΕ ΣΤΙΝ ΖΟΗ ΜΟΥ!!!!!!!!!!

  43. M.... R....

    6 dislikes wrongly pressed ?

  44. c.... ....

    @PollenEye I was thinking the same damn thing, except I thought I was just that tired.

  45. D.... ....

    @G1gaherz klayton has another kind of fame ==> a kind he deserves: imagine to have thousands of friends and i guess you would trade them all only to have one real mate... klayton should give a fuck and be happy to have real fans, not those dance club hip hop or whatever bitches who just consume all the shit, cuz its new O.o

  46. D.... ....

    I wish I could lose my virginity again... only while listening to this song

  47. C.... ....

    so moving... -_-

  48. P.... ....

    @estpwner
    *whew* so it's not just me.
    I thought I smoked something without knowing it. :P

  49. K.... ....

    @jordison6 true

  50. J.... A....

    @estpwner well done. :) +1 cookie

  51. M.... J....

    @EternallyGodBless this joke is old haha :D

  52. e.... ....

    the picture R MOVING

  53. F.... ....

    @EternallyGodBless NO!

  54. O.... ....

    @JonLarzon I'm not the person who asked for the repeat button. I'm also not the one calling someone retarded because they think that they know the difference between replay and repeat

  55. I.... w....

    @Odie147 looks like you have no life and listen to this gothic music, just grow a pair and go protest to youtube for a repeat button if youtube is that much of your life

  56. O.... ....

    @JonLarzon looks like you just made an ass of yourself.

  57. D.... ....

    @JonLarzon he meant a repeat button as in you click it once and it replays the song over and over again with just one click

  58. I.... w....

    @DeLethal hey are you retarded??? they've had a replay button forever you fucker

  59. P.... S....

    @DemonVector666
    The Lucky One rules! Much better than the stuff n the other chapter, except Eon.

  60. D.... ....

    @KillerPassifist or type repeat after the word youtube in the link at top and youll get an endless repeat of the song also

  61. V.... G....

    @KillerPassifist if works in my country

  62. K.... ....

    But either way I couldn't agree more. An automated Repeat button (unless you make a playlist with one song and set *that* to repeat the whole list) would omit the need for third party loop sites

  63. K.... ....

    @DeLethal Just type "endless" in the url at the top of the page before youtube - there's a site called EndlessYoutube that can infinitely loop songs, or just sections of songs if you partition it off

  64. F.... i....

    @JasionJones What's your problem? Little kid? If you consider 23 year old kids...You have problems my friend.

  65. K.... ....

    @mistermanrocks Because it is, lol. xD

  66. F.... i....

    OpTic Predator

  67. M.... B....

    @mistermanrocks 0_0 it...is...

  68. a.... ....

    @mistermanrocks dude me too!

  69. s.... ....

    @WretchedDrake Yeah, I like celldweller (obviously) but lucky one was kind of a letdown imo, it just didnt get my attention like the other celldweller songs. I love the rest of the upon a blackstar songs though.

  70. V.... G....

    @SilentStormBand thanks for that :D

  71. P.... S....

    @WretchedDrake
    For me the best songs on the new album are Louder Than Words, Eon, The Lucky One and Tainted :) Two favourites being The Lucky One and Eon.
    They're the only two songs I like as much as the original album XD

  72. T.... ....

    4 peoples must have defective ears!

  73. W.... ....

    Tainted is A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than Lucky One, that song seriously blows. Dunno what Klayton was thinking with that.

    But Tainted, So Long Sentiment and Louder Than Words are fantastic!

  74. K.... ....

    He has such an amazing voice. Klayton is awesome!

  75. M.... ....

    :o found this song by accident but i love it.. Gonna find some more good music now

  76. x.... ....

    youtube com/watch?v=A_nyjp_937g
    add repeat
    youtuberepeat com/watch?v=A_nyjp_937g
    voila

  77. V.... G....

    @RPGesus96 Thanks..

  78. D.... K....

    I don't fucking get why gifted people like Klayton aren't getting as much fame as some of the untalented bitches. Though it might be for the better...

  79. T.... ....

    @EternallyGodBless idk bout other 3 but i meant DISLIKE pretty much

  80. M.... ....

And a there was a picture of a woman crying, she was a mother who was stationed in Iraq and now she's coming home to her kids finally. Other than that...good song Klayton. And welcome back whoever females[and males]in that war finally "coming home".
