CHVRCHES - Tether Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
Where'd you go, you were there by my side
Keep believing it's my turn to hide
In a place where we don't have a prayer
There's a tether that's keeping me there

[Chorus:]
Trade our places
Take no chances
Bind me 'til my lips are silent

Stay where you are
Ever, after
Chasing things that we should run from

[Verse 2:]
Will we ever get away from this place
It's an image that's burned on my chest
For a moment you need me to stay
Cold blooded and drifting away

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'm feeling capable of
Seeing the end

I'm feeling capable of
Saying it's over
[x7]

  22. J.... F....

    A melhor música deles... Inclusive acho essa versão melhor que a "Remix"

  23. B.... C....

    I ONLY FOUND OUT THESE WERE A SCOTISH BAND VIA A DOCUMENTARY ON THE SCOTISH MUSIC INDUSTRY .. THE OTHER MONTH AND IVE BEEN INTO THESE FOR AGES

  24. J.... R....

    A magical true love song...

  25. T.... A....

    I started on Prydz but over time this (the original) has got me hooked. I can't listen to the cover now ... and it's a solid cover.

  26. f.... f....

    Got to be my all time favourite chvrches track.... that drop!

  27. B.... D....

    starting at 3:30 i kept hearing this one word that sounds really weird in english, but familiar in my language. he keeps saying "selalu" which means "always" in indonesian, kinda match the lyrics if you think about it. or maybe my vocabulary isn't that wide and i don't understand what he said.



    let me know pls

    B.... D....

    Bimo DS he's saying "shut up, please shutup" repeatedly.

    B.... D....

    I hear SELALU

  28. D.... Q....

    Yeah the cell phone existed but a touch screen and camera....and the social networking scene.......call it over kill playing on human habits but we'll what can you do I was drugged medicated and wrote...bored and torued physically taken from my home for my protection and benefit....fuck you for being stupid to go with my ideas...I am the Antichrist....kinda...maybe but Christ won't be knocking saving your kids there damned....all damned as there's only so many natural progressions from here...look at Sam and Britney Lopez what do they do to be supported just have known...me......karma is not a bitch it's a slut......

  29. D.... Q....

    Live performance don't exist it's all equipment and gear.....it's a simple model singing songs....I'm just homeless man what do I know....wait cell phone Facebook and covering up..sure my mother died by someone deciding she should other then myself and getting away with it but that wasn't until after I gave up...and she was fool Hardy to stop listening to the only vocie with her best interest.......so America how's the other guy compared to me....great right....

  30. k.... ....

    "Chasing things that we should run from" Story of my life.

  31. c.... a....

    Já estou apaixonado ke isso é muito bom 🇧🇷😎

  32. b.... b....

    This song makes me so turnt.

  33. J.... I....

    that nose and ears own to the nasty dog ;)

  34. j.... n....

    How can you say that eric prydz mix is better than this? Are you deaf or smth? Not even close to original!

  35. b.... ....

    This is the best version of this. The Eric Prydz remix is not worth the hype - he didn't really do anything with it. He just took the original synth line and added a bigger kick drum behind it. The original has more of a build up to it and works better.

  36. E.... M....

    The song having a double-meaning, implying indecision is fucking genius. It works so well with either "I'm feeling capable" and "I feel incapable."
    I swear to god that was intentional.

  37. w.... s....

    I love that "feeling capable of" also sounds like "feel incapable of,"

  38. A.... B....

    for me this song is pure unbroken ,and has a truly amzing sence of feeling "ALIVE"

  39. S.... Y....

    This is wonderful!

  40. M.... L....

    One of my favorites songs! And the Eric Prydz Remix too <3

  41. X.... ....

    Her voice has me in love.....

  42. m.... ....

    Anyone else love that the lyric sounds like either "I feel incapable of seeing the end" (which is sad) or "I'm feeling capable of seeing the end" (which is super uplifting)? I know there's a "right" one, and this has probably been noticed before, but it gives depth to this narrative that I feel must have been intentional on their part. So cool. One of my favorite songs from the album!

    m.... ....

    meggiemufin

    Yep

    It's both

    surpassing duality

    m.... ....

    I always heard "I'm feeling capable of seeing the end" until I read the lyrics... but I still sing it as capable ;)

  43. h.... f....

    The drop when you're waved af >

  44. a.... u....

    Chvrches - Tether (Jamesie Cotters Ginger Fizzy Remix)?.....

  45. P.... ....

    My favourite Chvrches song, it feels almost like you've gone to a different place listening to it.

  46. I.... D....

    Is 2:41 electro pop or something? Btw is amazing

    I.... D....

    Synthpop

  47. E.... C....

    The original song for me, makes me feel real things when it drops this beats: 2:41 but as a fan of electronic music, Eric Prydz has done an amazing job with the visuals and the purpose of the lyrics, for me, this song can hit you right in the feelings ♥

  48. R.... R....

    I saw them perform this song live. I got chills..... my all time favorite ❤

    R.... R....

    me too twice

  49. C.... S....

    Who is the model in the picture?

    C.... S....

    Hard to tell, but the ear is like Mayberry's.

  50. J.... V....

    reminds me of Interstellar

  51. S.... O....

    This song is incredible

  52. Y.... _....

    ive had the "things we run from" in my head forever. love this song

  53. A.... S....

    2:41; so tasty!

    A.... S....

    unexpected but so good

  54. G.... ....

    in my opinion the singer for this band is a wayyyyyyy better singer than lana del Rey hands down

    G.... ....

    Abandoned Styles1997 Lmao. Lana Del Ray sounds like the emotion was sucked out of her when she sings. She's so dull and uninspiring.

    G.... ....

    What does she have to do with Lana Del Rey? Seems like a random comparison. I love Lana's voice. It's calming & adds to the atmosphere.

    G.... ....

    LRLArch exactly what you said!!!!! I don't like lana del Rey

  55. T.... D....

    lot of memories come into my mind with this masterpiece. Thank you chvrches, just thank you.

  56. O.... C....

    I've always liked Chvrches but recently I saw them live in the "live out" festival at Monterrey Mx, and they blew my mind

    O.... C....

    Oscar Calderón same

    O.... C....

    They are extraordinarily amazing. It is God given and that it their only explanation.

    O.... C....

    Oscar Calderón te entiendo compi

  57. R.... G....

    "I'm feeling capable of
    seeing the end
    I'm feeling capable of
    Saying it's over"

    Me when the class is 5 minutes left

    R.... G....

    lmao forreaaal!!!

    R.... G....

    I thought it was Incapable, thanks for clarifying for me- the mood changes

    R.... G....

    Me thinkin bout my life

    R.... G....

    @Becky Henry It technically is "I'm feeling capable," but you could change it to "I feel incapable" if desired, depending on your situation. It is a clever lyric.

  58. J.... P....

    This is Lauren Mayberry's Brother JP Mayberry, you did our band's song perfectly in the song Tether I am Impressed, I am the Low pitched Lauren

  59. K.... ....

    Honestly I think it's annoying when people say the remix is better. The original was constructed so purposefully and when it builds and the production comes in it's just so beautifully done. But the remix just takes the end and overlays the entire song over it, losing the integrity of the original.

    K.... ....

    Redfield your basicaly contradicting the very point you're trying to make. Your opinion is "original is often copied never mastered", but all it is,is that, OPINION!, some like the remix,other prefer the original, stop trying to solidify your opinion in fact-form, it doesnt make it anymore significent to those who prefer the remix, if anything, Eric prydz is paying homage to CHVRCHES by using a 'sample' of their work

    K.... ....

    It's a question of preference tho, my ears prefer the original version but not everyone's will

    K.... ....

    1000% this

    K.... ....

    Not only am I fairly certain I've never bothered with the remix offered for every song I've ever listened to on YT but even when hitting remix accidentally, I always go back to previous as fast as possible, as if avoiding contaminating and ruining the original forever lol

    K.... ....

    THIS'LL BE ALWAYS TRUE.

  60. U.... ....

    i love Eric Prydz remix version, but still original is awesome too :D

  61. A.... R....

    Ah Lauren,  the name will always  remind me of HER

  62. H.... S....

    her vocals at the chorus is god-like

  63. P.... G....

    illuminatis?

  64. T.... ....

    2:07 ♥

  65. E.... ....

    Hear me out: One day, Chvrches and M83 will do a collab.

    Please make it happen !

    E.... ....

    OMFG YES and throw a sax in there and were in for a fucking treat

    E.... ....

    and Purity RIng!

    E.... ....

    Last year in Budapest (Sziget 2016) M83 followed Chvrches. Best music festival i've been too. They were both amazing!

    E.... ....

    +PeTekaChuz Holy fuck yes

    E.... ....

    Yeah or a Chvrches feat. Jabberwocky would be awesome too

  66. g.... p....

    it's a wonderful song

    g.... p....

    it's my favorite song

  67. E.... M....

    Whenever I hear this, I get some weird feeling in my body. Like, this feeling of intensity (ESPECIALLY DURING THE LAST THIRD OF THE SONG AAAAA)

  68. A.... ....

    Much better than the remix.

  69. E.... ....

    cOMO ESTAS MIJA?#

  70. T.... H....

    @ 2:42.

  71. A.... B....

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS LOVE Y'ALL!!

  72. T.... J....

    so much better than the prydz remix

    T.... J....

    +The Junks Yeah, he messed up. Although I like his song, Opus, it's fast-paced but it's great stuff.

  73. M.... ....

    i love it

  74. B.... ....

    they say that certain things cycle back in terms of fashion and music. This band reminds me of the best things about the unique sounds of the 80's but given a new energy.

  75. Q.... R....

    I got you some flowers for your face. Face flowers.

    Q.... R....

    I put my flowers wherever I want, and it's often in the face

    Q.... R....

    @Egenix52
    So ... You have rosy cheeks?  :-)

  76. C.... ....

    This song should have been the last of the album. Too much power to be lost in 4th place.

    C.... ....

    +Alessandro Grant Frangipane Germanotta Martinez Thanks pal! I made a custom CHVRCHES cd to listen to in my car, with the best of their two albums plus a few singles and of course, Tether is the last! It's also including their newest song, Warning Call. If you never heard it, don't waste a single minute and go listen to it. :)

    C.... ....

    @Chromatic I WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

    C.... ....

    'You caught the light' is a much better closer though

    C.... ....

    Chromatic I don’t feel like this song is an album closer

    C.... ....

    IMO I think it belongs in first place because it gets me energized and is uplifting until that spirit slowly desecrates over the course of the album

  77. A.... ....

    @ 2:41 Musical orgasm

  78. A.... ....

    They should have made a video for this.

  79. D.... S....

    This is my favorite song, but someone masturbates furiously @ 1:10

    D.... S....

    LOL, with added reverb

    D.... S....

    +f1jeh2313hj1b31 viciously raw

  80. R.... l....

    Bind me 'til my lips are silent. ♡

  81. L.... ....

    it made me think of Stiles & Lydia <3

  82. S.... ....

    Nice 80s tom toms!

  83. A.... F....

    too close to home, tears are inevitable

  84. r.... ....

    This song is so good, I smiled for the first time in a long time.

    r.... ....

    +raedwulf61 always smile. never let your past get you down, you only have one life and one childhood

  85. t.... ....

    This song affects me on a cosmic level

    t.... ....

    +tomtomtrent Facepalm!

    t.... ....

    +tomtomtrent Whilst it affects me on a cosmetic level... That's a thing, right? :-D

    t.... ....

    I second. Divine!

  86. t.... ....

    Prydz didn't even come up with the awesome riff near the end of this song. Just cut and made it the whole song.

  87. d.... ....

    So is this the original version? I thought it was the eric prydz one

    d.... ....

    This is the original version. Honestly I think the remix is way better 😂😂

    d.... ....

    @Coco, Artie and Booh videos! ! how can you say the remix was better? The Prydz just took the part from 2:41, looped it and made it faster and higher. Any fool with some DJ-freeware could have done that.

  88. A.... G....

    this needs Eric Prydz magic

  89. m.... ....

    i'm so so in love with this song

  90. l.... ....

    WWWHHHHHAAAT?! I thought this song was from Eric Prydz *.*

  91. U.... A....

    God damn, this is majestic.

  92. n.... ....

    i just understood the meaning behind this song, and i guess... i feel capable..

  93. G.... ....

    This song is so underrated...

    G.... ....

    Only to non-fans, dude. This and "Gun" are my 2 fave songs off that album

    G.... ....

    This artist is so so so so underrated!!

  94. D.... ....

    Is that Torres on the picture ?

  95. K.... A....

    t's unbelievable what Eric Prydz did with this song!!!!!!

    K.... A....

    Yeah, it's unbelievably awful what he did.

    K.... A....

    +Keenan A yeah, he stripped it of all meaning. It's a work of majestic beauty as is.

    K.... A....

    OMG U WROTE THIS COMMENT ON MY BDAYY!!!

    K.... A....

    +Keenan A it's unbelievable what Chvrches did with this song

    K.... A....

    Basically nothing

  96. B.... G....

    i love this photography. The symbolism is great with the tape over the mouth

    B.... G....

    Wow. 4 years and I never noticed that. Good eye.

  97. H.... M....

    This song is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard!!! To me it's about holding on to someone even tho there's nothing good left between you anymore.. and you're holding on to one another when you should really let go and be capable of seeing the end and saying it's over 😢

    H.... M....

    +R E C K S H X T Same here. Feels bad but you can't let go.

    H.... M....

    +Honey Rochester You basically just recited the lyrics to the entire song. Thank you for our insight and analysis...
