Children Of Bodom - Platitudes And Barren Words Lyrics






I'm broken, you're bent
I laugh while you repent
Threw punches never left a dent
Kick and scream you can feed the flame
Put out the fire it's all the same
Just either clock out or stake your claim

C'mon just lay it on the line
You're running on fumes and out of time
It takes more to be convincing
Than platitudes cause your words are wearin' thin

I rush you stall
Here we go you're on a roll
Driving me right up the wall
Emotions left ripped at the seams
The game is over or so it seems
But sticks and stones won't break your fuckin' routines

C'mon just lay it on the line
Cut me a break don't take your time
I'm up for laying down the swords
Just no more platitudes or barren words

I'm filled to the brim
What's one more deadly sin?
To lose or win
Should I frown or grin

C'mon just lay it on the line
You're running on fumes and out of time
It takes more to be convincing
Than platitudes cause your words are wearin' thin

I'm filled to the brim
What's one more deadly sin?
To lose or win
Should I frown or grin

  1. �.... �....

    Лёха Лайхо и Чилдрены всегда были крутыми ребятами и всегда будут!

  43. J.... S....

    Hey, you guys hear of this new thing called "widescreen"?

  44. T.... R....

    God I used to love this band. I wish they still wrote interesting music. Sadly it's been a steady diet of shit for almost 20 years. One of the great guitar players of the late 90s/early 2000s decided to drink himself into idiocy. Fucking sad.

  45. M.... G....

    This song is tits as fuck and should totally be added to Rock band

  46. �.... �....

    Main riff is pretty cool but it's a shadow of plain old bodoms(. And clip is remake of "Are you dead yet?" but worse.

  47. b.... a....

    Splice a pice of 1/8 or 3/16 inch copper tubing into your (+)hot wire. Leave the (6)ground as a wire. Sounds spherical and 3d instead of flat. Be apart of the Sound Revolution and spread my discovery! You cobs rock

  48. R.... V....

    👍😜

  49. S.... S....

    Hell yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I this shit is love !!!!

  50. A.... P....

  52. R.... K....

    the best metal album 2019

  53. G.... G....

    Where is Roope, Henkka's hairs and goddamn solo. Where is epic bodom sound...
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kceGRU6GEHM

  54. E.... ....

    So why hasn’t Korn and Children of Bodom done a “Korn on the COB” tour?

  55. C.... S....

    Heard this song a couple of days ago and have been obsessed with them since

  56. Z.... ....

    No solo? That's odd, but the sound is very throwback to their early sound which I like. Alexi is using his old guitar 😍😍😍

  57. �.... �....

    Stupid clip.

  58. B.... B....

    Man I haven’t listened since Relentless Reckless Forever

  59. D.... ....

    This is the COB I like

  60. E.... Z....

    как такое видео не набрало больше ляма? есть кто из рашки?

  64. k.... ....

    this is a big hell yeah from a brown dude who loves some bodom, great to hear em still doing the damn thang !

  65. o.... b....

    Sounds a lot more opera metal style

  66. W.... P....

    We have to admit, CoB is original, there's nothing like them, they have their own musical style/genre.

  67. K.... P....

    I miss the cob of the first 3 albums :(

  68. A.... J....

    What does this song mean ?

  69. M.... A....

    Props to Alexi Laiho for showing case MORE of the other band members and NOT including his Solo in this song. COBHC FOR THE DAMN EVER.

  70. m.... ....

    Good music but the video content is a matter of taste.

  71. K.... B....

    Oh Yeah

  72. S.... ....

    This was our introduction to Children of bodom and not only do we like it, but instantly noticed the Venom shirt. Respect.

  73. R.... ....

  74. e.... ....

    This is a little better...I guess...

    Edit: Nevermind. Only can handle listening to this track twice.

  75. I.... M....

  89. A.... T....

    i surely took a break from C.O.B for a long time. but i guess they are back now. but with no solo from Alexi :D

  90. D.... D....

    God damnit.....THAT CHORUS SUCKS MY ANUS! They started their sex changes @Hate Crew Deathroll and have been post—op ever since Bloodrunk.....The chorus sounds like they might as well be Mushroomhead blended with one of those pop punk nu—metal garbage heaps. WTF Alexi.....

  91. J.... S....

    When my daughter was a couple months old and she would start crying I would put Children of Bodom on. She would start bouncing like crazy in her little bouncer and throw any toy I would give her. She is now 9 and still loves you guys.

  92. O.... I....

    stop doing ice alexi

  93. S.... Z....

    Henkka so handsome as usual.

  94. �.... �....

  95. w.... ....

    fucking love this song

  96. A.... D....

    I always liked the Warmen albums way more than this shit

  97. S.... L....

    This song is so cute 😍

  98. B.... B....

    Alexi , no solo!

    I became a cob fan because of the unique melodic solos , songs like this with no standout solo, are dismissed as boring, and an album filler to me. Yes I'm sure loads of you like this song, and fair enough - but as a true fan, mid 30's - I will say its a shame the songs are more technical, rather then blisteringly awsome. The melodies used to be sweet, dramatic , long leading onto multiple solos and neo classical - now its technical, short and uninspiring. Its still cob - but they seem to have run out of stardust. Sorry other cob fans, you have your opinion - let me have mine.
