Collective Soul - Listen Lyrics






Hey you're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
Hey you're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul
The bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding harder to digest
And the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed

Hey why can't you listen
Hey why can't you hear
Hey why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere

Hey you now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
Hey you now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness
Your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
You're clothing yourself
In the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired

You crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all your words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting till the bitter end
If only your heart could open up
And listen

    I stumbled listening to this band while in college back in 90's and listening to this day. These guys are brilliant !

  29. m.... ....

    That nineties fashion and style 😍😍😍😍

  30. M.... C....

    I agree they’re probably the most underrated but the best of the 90s bands in my opinion. We are all one collective soul expressing itself in a variety of ways and that’s the absolute truth. Period.

  31. K.... P....

    Great song. One of my all time favourites.

  32. M.... A....

    2019 n still listening this song 😄

  33. T.... ....

    it was 1997. I fell in love with my first girlfriend. my friend rick was a janitor at a local high school. He walked across the cafeteria floor with this song playing. God i miss those days.

  34. O.... G....

    Do you believe? Great song. Cheers!

  35. W.... ....

    Summer of 97

  36. A.... S....

    Sure miss Ross Childress guitar playing.

    A.... S....

    I miss Ed Roland and his bassist Joel--They were great guys to talk music with.

  37. M.... C....

    A band with a lot of soul and talent, very rare today indeed

  38. R.... J....

    Ohh my god, I feel like I was 15 yo again, I cant believe it, i am getting old

  39. P.... W....

    The 90's greatest and toured the WORLD.

  40. d.... 2....

    I have followed Collective Soul since 1993. They are truly a band that appreciates their fans and always gives a high energy show.

    d.... 2....

    I was blessed to meet Ed and Joel before a show in Tempe, AZ. some years ago and if they come to Toronto, ON. Canada, I'll take my wife for sure to see them.

  41. F.... D....

    Man how i love this band! 2019

  42. J.... R....

    Me encanta!!! Amo este grupo.

  43. J.... D....

    love this band so underrated WHY????

    J.... D....

    Most likely they weren't Grunge enough for the grunge era!

  44. D.... W....

    Memories!

  45. D.... N....

    Killer Tune.

  46. A.... ....

    Lagu favoritku selain gundul2 pacul

  47. M.... W....

    Totally great and inovative Band. Great Songwriting, great performance, rock solid mixing and producing.
    when people ask me what a Heavy (as in Metal) guitar sounds like I tell them Collective Soul.

  48. S.... r....

    Favorite song

  49. J.... ....

    NYC HERE I AM!!!  DJ

  50. S.... r....

    This one of my favorite songs

  51. J.... ....

    "Home Sweet Home!" Heh heh - DJ

  52. M.... D....

    One song takes me back to childhood nostalgia more than anything. This my friends is that song. I will thank always my father for my love of music.

  53. C.... B....

    This song has what I like to call a "Heroic" sound. It is positive, but it has this uplifting and defiant vibe that is the equivalent of seeing someone winning a race in slow motion, reaching the top of a mountain, or running the field after a home run.

    Epic.

  54. L.... P....

    Awesome Group Great Singer and Guitar in 90slove this song and group, when I was 27.

    L.... P....

    I agree

    L.... P....

    Great singer

  55. S.... S....

    I remember buying this CD new in 1997!

  56. T.... ....

    Juan aún te amo y te extraño :c

  57. D.... V....

    Fuck man that guitar solo is so damn great only if it was longer!!!

    D.... V....

    Blame Atlantic Records who shortened the solo @Draven Vigil.

  58. M.... A....

    What is it with his fingers? Still love him though.

  59. f.... k....

    Saw them play this live at Blockbuster Rockfest in Dallas during the late 90's. Their shit was cranked! The rhythm and bass had me vibrating for hours!

  60. U.... Z....

    Still had their cassette lol 😆

  61. K.... R....

    This song has a feel of Siamese Dream era Smashing Pumpkins haha

    K.... R....

    Only a Sith would say so LOL. @Kylo Ren

  62. M.... D....

    90's best time songs of all time

  63. J.... D....

    c.... ....

    March 11, 1997😆

  67. d.... g....

    Great song writing from this guy. Personal favorites are Sister Don't Cry and Run because of memories but this song has a message for everyone. People should listen more.

  78. F.... G....

    Hey you're now thirsty

    Hey you're now searching
