Dan Bull - The Quiet Viking Lyrics






There's a delicate line between a friend
And something else
And I've never been quite sure
How to tell

Heard words that weren't there in your body language
As a buddy I thought I had an advantage
I knew you, you knew me
And I briefly believed in the power of magic
Seeing you smile was the ultimate pleasure
Fishing for compliments, I was hunting for treasure
Summoned to heaven, platonic love becoming untethered
The way you'd comfort me when under the weather
And how we'd cuddle together under your umbrella
You must think I'm such a dumb fellow
I'd have done better leaving it alone
Even if I'd known we were going to grow; be with different folks
I was going to plant a seed and let it grow free
Then an oak tree develops slowly
Now the leaves on my future family tree
Are fruits imaginary
And I'm so lonely
Oh, me...

There's a delicate line between a friend
And something else
And I've never been quite sure
How to tell

Tighten up your bowtie
'Cause guys in your position don't cry
Do not be be frightened - really you won't die
Your deeds and writings reveal you: both sides
Lighting up on the roadside
Driving over the strobe light

It's the rise of defiant Dan; I'm a quiet man
But still spent time inside in a riot van
Blindsided without the benefit of hindsight
My eyes were as wide as a frying pan
You might summise I'm devising a higher plan
Redesigning my life with an iron hand
It's now or never
I've got to pull myself together
Can't waste days staying in the house forever
Come out to the desert
Now there's a westerly breeze
Please, I need help with the zephyr
You could knock me down with a feather
But I'll still be grinning with the mouth of a Cheshire
My last album was a hell of an effort
Daniel wrote the manual on how to endeavour
And if ever there was a doubt that I'm clever
It's down to the fact that my talent's without measure
I've found treasure now my business is pleasure
I can infinitely tessellate my lyrics at leisure
And any way you spin it, it just gets fresher
An intricately illustrating MC... Escher

The quiet viking is how I'm known, I
I'm strident in style, although shy
And I don't even know why
So I'm either enlightened or I'm just so high
I can see the lighting upon the roadside
Driving over the strobe light

The quiet viking
The quiet viking

Dan Bull The Quiet Viking Comments
  1. B.... R....

    still on repeat.

  2. N.... P....

    “Blindsided
    Without the benefit of hindsight
    My eyes
    Were as wide
    As a frying pan”
    The way you flowed that was just too incredible to live down

  3. M.... B....

    Man it's been 3 years till i first heard this song and i was in a bad place then. This song has got me through that sh*t and i know many other as well. Thanks Dan. Keep at it man, your content is so pure.

  4. B.... O....

    This is just tops

  5. H.... M....

    This song in a way summerises what i've been going through right now and i'm glad i'm not the only one that has exerianced it.

  6. v.... ....

    Awesome!

  7. E.... ....

    "Redesigning my life with an iron hand
    It's now or never
    I've got to pull myself together"

    When you hear a parent saying that to you, it has no effect.
    When Dan bull tell you to move your ass from your chair and start do stuff, you fockin do it

  8. T.... O....

    Dan, you probably won't see this but I just want to thank you for all the amazing work you've brought over the years to YouTube in your game raps, more serious raps and hilariously funny vlogs. In a world of crazy things that happens everyday you always bring normal back to the day with the simplicity of a video game and some excellent wordplay. So thank you for the amazing memories, melodies, funnies and Douglbies. \m/.

  9. V.... E....

    My name is Viking so every time he says Viking i want to look towards my door and say "Yes?"

    V.... E....

    You have a badass name.

  10. d.... 6....

    +Dan Bull hey! can I use the beat for my rap that I will use for my school? I will credit you of course

  11. T.... L....

    I took me years to notice Wesley Willis on the cover

  12. P.... G....

    Jesus christ I can relate to this song. And I am really upset that Dan doesn't have at least 10.000.000 subscribers because he IS really really talented. He writes sooo awesome rhymes and lyrics. Damn, I think you deserve way more recognition.

  13. M.... M....

    God this song is gorgeous! I could listen to this all day

  14. J.... m....

    Love this song

  15. A.... ....

    I can close my eyes and get lost in this saying

  16. M.... ....

    woo so good

  17. D.... N....

    used to only know you for game raps but this songs is so dope keep doin ya thang Dan!

  18. M.... ....

    Oh hello there, new favorite song.

  19. A.... M....

    So, I get the first first. It's about a girl. but what's the rest about

    A.... M....

    +Andrew Martin As Dan says: "This is a song about overcoming shyness and introversion and taking what the fuck you want yo."

  20. A.... M....

    What do the strobe lights represent

    A.... M....

    Police lights?

  21. A.... E....

    I personally like this specific song the most due to a heavy level of relevance it has with my own life. Keep producing these amazingly beautiful songs Dan!

  22. M.... R....

    I really love listening to this album before i go to bed.

  23. D.... H....

    To me it's safe>face>garden, but every album album is a high quality piece of musical genius and you should be very pround of each one.

  24. L.... S....

    It discribes my feelings.

  25. P.... t....

    It is crazy how much this related to me. Especially the first verse. Stay strong

  26. D.... ....

    Sick song.

  27. N.... H....

    Damn...i love this song :D

  28. J.... B....

    I wonder if this is about an actual past experience of dan's, or if he's just telling my life story!

  29. c.... ....

    I honestly like this album a thousand time better then most of his gaming raps. It means more when they come from the heart and the mind.

  30. J.... J....

    Is this song about the 11th Doctor?

  31. M.... ....

    This album is a completly diffrent feel than safe and face (especially safe), I love it...(safe is still #1 though). :)

    M.... ....

    @MegaFreddy25 I know, even the somewhat sad, kinda down songs have a mellow chill of joy to them.

  32. A.... ....

    Really like this one :)

  33. O.... ....

    1,000 likes and 9 dislikes.

    Like a boss.

  34. T.... M....

    i relate to this so much   to Valhalla my friend

  35. A.... _....

     My *Favourite!* 

  36. M.... F....

    I am loving how Dan knows just how to say what's on my mind.

  37. m.... ....

    man i needed this song, it reminds me of a long time ago about my highschool and prom...i never went after a girl i thought was something else didnt think the same about me...

  38. B.... B....

    i just kinda desire that Bull'd have mentioned Everquest instead of WoW  =-)

  39. G.... D....

    My life, thanks Dan

  40. S.... G....

    I really liked this one for some reason. I like most of your music, but I just especially liked this one.

  41. S.... M....

    Thx dan this helped me through an issue I had with a girl…

  42. S.... ....

    This song matters to me, because I am generally a shy person. It's good that Dan has made this song, because it helps people understand what being shy is actually like.

  43. S.... G....

    I feel this is the best so far I love the lyrics. Congratulations on the album & thanks for making my new favorite song man. :)

  44. V.... ....

    wow i love this music

  45. S.... ....

    This was a really good song and it spoke to me. 

    Thank you for everything you do Dan! Keep up the awesome work, if you want to! :3

  46. S.... B....

    thx to Dan Bull for an awesome album this song is the best in my opinion. The choruses need to be better, its a major problem when someone has a good beat and very good lyrics but has a "weird or out there" chorus. this song is very well made and chorus is ok.

  47. Z.... Z....

    This si my fav song of the album :D 

  48. T.... B....

    fuuuck this reminds me of the when 50 cent was still full of energy,and the new dre beats were hot,and eminem made rap lyrics that actually made you think.

  49. T.... ....

    i think this is your best so far dan nice job keep it up

  50. p.... d....

    hey Dan I request a borderlands the pre sequel rap.

  51. S.... ....

    I love this

  52. R.... L....

    So good!

  53. M.... K....

    Dan you're raps are so much more when they aren't about games. I truely believe you can make it as a rapper being true to yourself. Rap about what's on the inside of you not a game!

  54. d.... v....

    man this is epic !

  55. B.... ....

    Just amazing, Dan) 

  56. M.... B....

    This song is sooo amazing. I have been listening to it like 3 times a day since the release.

  57. M.... B....

    Best one of the album. Love it.

  58. L.... G....

    love it keep on keepin on man your future is bright

  59. R.... ....

    Between this and summer rain are the best

  60. E.... M....

    I like this one because I can really relate to it, but Summer Rain remains the undefeated champion. :D

  61. T.... ....

    best one yet

  62. J.... ....

    Dan, can you please make a song for the friendzoned, heartbroken and those who lost hope?

  63. J.... ....

    First part of the song explains me

  64. J.... ....

    First part of the song explains me

  65. M.... L....

    Probably my favourite track out of you yet. Fell in love with it instantly, when i first heard it on your Gamescon video.
    Cheers Mate.

  66. P.... B....

    Dan i love you! [no homo]

    P.... B....

    [full homo]

  67. T.... ....

    I'm ashamed to say that I've come here just for the word: "Viking"

    T.... ....

    +TheThief Stay for the genius.

    T.... ....

    +TheGeekster last verse he explains

  68. j.... ....

    Dan could you release the instrumental of this please?

  69. p.... p....

    did not think i would like this new album i was so wrong.

  70. k.... 1....

    Dsns back

  71. l.... s....

    Im enjoying this album quite a lot, i honestly think dan should do more songs on these kind of things then his gaming songs, I mean the songs about games are still fantastic, but I find this stuff much more interesting and inspiring.

  72. T.... ....

    I don't know how to feel about this album, I really like your old stuff but every song i've heard from this album just strikes me as depressed cliche loverap. Again I really like what you do, and I will purchase this album to help you but know that I'd rather listen to the happy hypey Dan Bull.

    T.... ....

    I want more Douglby Digby.

  73. B.... ....

    Dan I'm glad you're doing music about stuff other than gaming, I've been wanting to hear this side of you for a while since I heard Face, it just proves that your talent reaches out much more further than gaming raps!

  74. A.... S....

    This is AMAZING! You are really talented Dan. And this song is perfect for me because I was always so introverted in school. Thank you Dan for your exemplary music I hope to see you on the billboard charts!

  75. j.... ....

    Why is there playback errors on every vid I watch?! I want to hear the awesomeness!!!

  76. D.... C....

    Can you do a destiny rap

  77. j.... ....

    I love this song. One of my favourites from the entire album, which I've been listening to frequently since it was released. Thank you Dan! 
    As a side note, it's quite fun to compare Safe, Face and The Garden. They really show a progression of character, and just from listening to them it's almost like getting to know parts of who Dan is.

  78. c.... ....

    Favourite beat so far.

  79. N.... ....

    8 song on youre album in youtube 4 them are on my 4 fav list :)

  80. A.... P....

    Killer song

  81. A.... O....

    I love this song, it's got a great flow to it. I'm happy to see some none gaming raps from you. Don't get me wrong I've always loved your gaming raps. But personal raps always have a bit more heart to them. Lovin the work!

  82. S.... P....

    Dan might not have the best singing voice, but he still has something unique for singing and I like it. I actually quite like his singing so far, I would hate it if he sang like 1D (no offence to them)

  83. S.... ....

    I agree with +volovita

  84. p.... t....

    I love that beat

  85. J.... B....

    That beat though

  86. V.... ....

    Hey dan!
    I added your entire album on Spotify, and I've been listening to each song as you release it to YouTube. I feel strangely proud of you and your accomplishments, as I've been with you since the DRAGONBORN rap.I would like to say something and you can take it or leave it (I mean no offense). Your rapping is killer!@! you've got a vocabulary larger than most, and a bite in your voice which leaves people like me blown away. I love your gaming raps, especially ones with defiant, gritty, aggressive, eloquent  sounds. BUT where your voice is one in a million when rapping, it leaves something to be desired when singing.  What you sing/rap about is wonderfully you, and I wouldn't change it ever, but imo if you really want to flourish, I would recommend training your voice in terms of singing. I remember there being a video on TenSecondSongs channel in which he mentioned something that would " help you master your voice in all styles". Anyway, I love what your doing, but I feel that as a consumer and a friend you should listen and try to work on your weaker areas.
     All the best 

    V.... ....

    sorry for grammar and spelling errors =D

  87. D.... ....

    This has been my favorite among all your amazing songs, great job dude!

  88. G.... ....

    Favorite track on the album. Loved it as soon as I heard it on the Gamescon video.

  89. M.... ....

    Robbaz anyone?
    No?
    Okay then.

  90. C.... F....

    Great song Dan, I've got to say my all time favourite is either proud or john Lennon ! Keep up the great work though buddy ! Always love listening to you :)

  91. s.... ....

    I got to say, not all the songs on this album are my favorites of yours, but this one is fucking awesome.

  92. W.... ....

    What is the background a picture of?

  93. d.... ....

    This is my favourite rap so far. Keep it up dan. And how many songs are in this album?

    d.... ....

    12 tracks

    d.... ....

    Thanks

  94. R.... ....

    Best Album yet Dan. Keep up the good work mate!

  95. T.... ....

    This one is my favorite of the album, with "I'm Fine" as a close second.

  96. T.... G....

    I'm still a huge fan of your Skyrim raps. Did you make a gaming rap album because I'd really like to hear that one most of all. Long time fan, before the music became your true profession.

    T.... G....

    You are funny as hell man. You want these free trials and things, but you don't realize that they are on his youtube, even though you claim to be a huge fan. Bit weird man. Bit weird.

    T.... G....

    @MrPolicimo that's because I haven't stayed up to date with his channel, and I came across this song & it reminded me because I used to listen to all his gaming songs. I'm a fan not a stalker. ;)

    T.... G....

    @TheGamePhilter You are not a stalker if you listen to his music. Dan Bull is much more than a gaming rapper, he is a musician, protester, an awareness raiser and probably one of the greatest musicians to date. He is far more than just his gaming raps. Something a "big fan" would know.

    T.... G....

    @Dan Bull Mate, you were instrumental in getting me into rap (I'd only ever heard the trivial shit and rejected till you till I found you and was shown Immortal technique). Now I'm experimenting with writing my own. Thank you, really.

    btw, love lyric or satiric

    T.... G....

    +TheGamePhilter Skyrim was the first rap of Mr. Bull's that I heard.
    Instant fan.

  97. F.... ....

    I like this one a lot.

  98. p.... l....

    this is by far my favourite song on your album

  99. R.... ....

    Incredible.
