Citizen - World Lyrics






There is something falling from your fingertips
For every moment that you've seen there's one you've missed
Are you alright? Are you still feeling dead?
I turned out the lights around, there's no difference
I hear every word, these walls are paper thin
In every person that you meet, they all need fixed
Do you wonder? Are you still feeling dead?
If I turned down this radio, I'd hear nothing

Do you wonder?
Do you wonder?

I have had your ears, a younger me loves it
I haven't been around this neighborhood in a few years
Do you feel good? Do you notice it?
There's a crowd in front of me, I just don't care
I hear a thousand people sing, I feel nothing

Do you wonder?
Do you wonder?

Won't you split me open?
Let me air out
I'm your old friend
Won't you split me open?
Let me air out
I'm your old friend

There's a dull effort, purpose that you long for
There's a withered heart, something I can't ignore
(Well I wiped this window clean, still can't see in)
Tangled in a string and then you're cut to the bone
(If I tuned out these people here, I'd hear the wind)
All abandoning, you're a cancer that won't
(And if I force fed you this pill, would you notice?)
There's a dawning heel, your first time at the core
(If I tuned out your world for good, you'd have nothing)
There's a withered heart, something I can't ignore

Do you wonder?
Do you wonder?

Won't you split me open?
Let me air out
I'm your old friend
Won't you split me open?
Let me air out
I'm your old friend

    Thanks citizen

  7. J.... R....

    wat does this song mean!!!!! i really like citizens sound but im so dead trying to understand their lyrics, why not just write clear

    J.... R....

    to me, this song is about being away from home on tour. these lines in particular definitely seem to be about that:

    "There is something falling from your fingertips
    For every moment that you've seen, there's one you've missed"

    and

    "There's a crowd in front of me, I just don't care
    I hear a thousand people sing, I feel nothing"

  8. A.... N....

    There's a crowd in front of me, I just don't care
    I hear a thousand people sing, I feel nothing :(

  9. C.... F....

  13. L.... X....

    Best song on the album by far. But the entire album is awesome.

  14. A.... P....

    "Theres a crowd in front of me I just don't care, I hear a thousand people sing I feel nothing."

    that shit is probably the saddest line I've ever heard someone sing.
    I feel somewhat guilty listening to Citizen now that Ive heard this song. Knowing how Mats feeling while performing saddens me.
    Fuck man

  15. M.... C....

    Há algo caindo da ponta dos seus dedos
    Por cada momento que você viu, há um que você perdeu
    Você está bem? Você ainda está se sentindo morto?
    Bem, eu desliguei as luzes, não há diferença

    [Verso 2]
    Bem, eu ouço todas as palavras, essas paredes são finas
    Em todas as pessoas que conhece, todos precisam de reparos
    Você quer saber? Você ainda está se sentindo morto?
    Se eu recusasse esse rádio, não ouviria nada

    [Refrão]
    Você quer saber?
    Você quer saber?

    [Verso 3]
    Eu tive seus ouvidos, um mais novo eu adora
    Eu não estive em torno deste bairro em alguns anos
    Você se sente bem? Você percebeu isso?
    Há uma multidão na minha frente, eu simplesmente não me importo
    Ouço que mil pessoas cantam, não sinto nada

    [Refrão]
    Você quer saber?
    Você quer saber?

  16. B.... F....

    This will definitely be a monumental album in my life going forward, so unique and well written.

  28. A.... S....

    ESSA O FILHO CHORA E A MÃE NÃO VÊ

    A.... S....

    Melhor definição

  29. M.... G....

    When I first heard this song I thought the lyric was "if I turned down this radio, I'd hear your fan". Not sure which stings of nostalgia more

  30. I.... P....

    best song of the album

  31. w.... G....

    my favorite.

  32. I.... o....

    Favorite song on the album, i reviewed As You Please on my channel if anyone’s interested!

  33. L.... H....

    i cried as soon as i heard this, the chorus' melody hit me in the chest

  34. C.... G....

    Trozo de canción

  35. i.... t....

    "I'm your old friend"
    That's a simple line, but it hurts a lot.
    Funny sting.
    Well done, Citizen.

    i.... t....

    That whole section hurts

    “Cut me open
    Let me air out
    I’m your old friend”

    Just screams of someone losing faith in themselves of forgetting who they are or were and it fucking breaks my heart

  36. A.... L....

    Bet ur slowly moving ur head back n forth...

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

    Well, fuck me. cuz this shit slaps!

  38. G.... J....

    How can I purchase the album from Germany? There is no option for euro :/

  39. a.... ....

    I hope they make music forever

    a.... ....

    I know every band has a song like this but it sounds like they don’t feel like going on forever “I hear a thousand people sing, I feel nothing” sounds pretty done

  40. d.... s....

    Thank you, Citizen

  41. T.... H....

    So pumped to hear them reintroduce more of their Youth sound. I appreciated the artistic approach on Everybody Is Going to Heaven as it was much more experimental, a true showcase of their abilities and influence. Despite that, it didn't register with me as much as the previous album. However, this by far has to be their most well written effort to date. Its like all the best parts of Youth and Everybody Is Going To Heaven melded together in a flawless execution of musicianship. Fucking love Citizen always will be a fan

  42. F.... ....

    This track is ridiculously good, and so is this whole album. I dare to say I like As You Please better than Youth.

  43. _.... ....

    Fuckin yes

  44. l.... S....

    I'm in love with this song and As you please as a whole, just beautiful

  45. J.... G....

    A favorite by far!
