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
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
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

Man I love CS, been a fan since 95' when I was 10 yo.
👍💕

Clearly there music is great .....throw me back in the 90s and leave me there.....
The singer looks like he's gonna go catch fish!
I take it this song isn't addressed to Beethoven
Hey your 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 it 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

Collective soul 👍💕
wow...5 years since the last comment...so sad....great band.
ED IS SO FUCKING SEXY DOES HE EVER STOP?
Thinkyouknowmusic on Twitter brought me here.
love them, love this song, it's perfect
The 90's had a planet full of great rock bands and Collective Soul is one of 'em...still listening to them today. Miss the good old days!
And this is when Ed started being soooo sexy <3
Idk why can't I get this song out of repeat.
What If John Lennon was from USA
1:54 Bliss
Decent rock
Once Again
I stumbled listening to this band while in college back in 90's and listening to this day. These guys are brilliant !
That nineties fashion and style 😍😍😍😍
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.
Great song. One of my all time favourites.
2019 n still listening this song 😄
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.
Do you believe? Great song. Cheers!
Summer of 97
Sure miss Ross Childress guitar playing.
I miss Ed Roland and his bassist Joel--They were great guys to talk music with.
A band with a lot of soul and talent, very rare today indeed
Ohh my god, I feel like I was 15 yo again, I cant believe it, i am getting old
The 90's greatest and toured the WORLD.
I have followed Collective Soul since 1993. They are truly a band that appreciates their fans and always gives a high energy show.
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.
Man how i love this band! 2019
Me encanta!!! Amo este grupo.
love this band so underrated WHY????
Most likely they weren't Grunge enough for the grunge era!
Memories!
Killer Tune.
Lagu favoritku selain gundul2 pacul
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.
Favorite song
NYC HERE I AM!!! DJ
This one of my favorite songs
"Home Sweet Home!" Heh heh - DJ
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.
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.
Awesome Group Great Singer and Guitar in 90slove this song and group, when I was 27.
I agree
Great singer
I remember buying this CD new in 1997!
Juan aún te amo y te extraño :c
Fuck man that guitar solo is so damn great only if it was longer!!!
Blame Atlantic Records who shortened the solo @Draven Vigil.
What is it with his fingers? Still love him though.
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!
Still had their cassette lol 😆
This song has a feel of Siamese Dream era Smashing Pumpkins haha
Only a Sith would say so LOL. @Kylo Ren
90's best time songs of all time
The housemartins build ?
Such an underrated band. So talented and man did they get fucked back in the day. So glad they stuck with it because they create some amazing music. Saw them this summer in Chicago. They still fn rock.
what year this vm??
Does anyone know specifically when this video was released? I know it was in '97, but I'm interested in when in '97. I think it may have been in July, but can anyone confirm or deny?
March 11, 1997😆
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.
Still Listen(ing). In 2018 !!! 🎶🎹🎤🎸😎✌️
Very underrated band.... deserves much more popularity. They have managed to create music, which in my opinion is evergreen and will never get old.
One of the Best Alternative Band..
He looks like paul rudd only he looks better
Totally unappreciated. Totally underrated.
Totally awesome
Still rocking this music collection
I knew a few songs of these guys but they have many great ones like this one.
The mix of this album is crap, but songs are pretty catchy
I love this song!!!!
Their best song IMO.
God I love the internet...NOT!
GREAT song though
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
this is a good band.
Oh, I remember this song and video, still makes my OCD go off the rails!
Great band. Still putting out great new music. so underrated.
Missing the 90s
This band was always too good for the world they inhabited.
3.03 one of the my favorites solos of all the time
Dude for real
i love Collective Soul~~~!!!!
I totally forgot about this song!
Brings back memory NTv7
Great band of the 90s excellent music and words
That scene of the twin towers at the beginning though...
1:36?? is that a poke ball on the poster
Gran tema de collective soul los reyes del post grunge.
killer song!!
Reminds me of my first day in college,killed my anxiety,brought in peaceful state of mind back in 2001,luv u guys
Man... towers still there
One of the only two bands that could be on an endless loop and would never bother me- at all💋
Buffie Hoose who’s the other one?
This if from their Disciplined Breakdown album right? Man over 15 years and I'm listening to this again. So much nostalgia. Good times man.
Just what to let you know that you saved from killing myself.
CJ Snyder glad I could help CJ there's always hard times out there but life is so precious and short so please try to get yourself and stay yourself together thanks for hanging in there and thanks for listening sincerely Ed The Music Man I'm glad you're with us still stay with us
Badass 90s band
