Devin Townsend - Planet Of The Apes Lyrics






I know who I am today
But who knows?
To forgive the lord... you don't damn family
All I ever wanted was to be true for my wife and my kid
And I will never back down, and I release the pain

I say have it your way
I stay heavy for my god
I say have it your way

And pay!

Oh the mind goes!

And I've had to reassess the ways of the mind
And I will never back down, for you are my children's family
And I know what's inside that power
Have I forgiven the pain?

Forgive yourself!

I say have it your way
I stay heavy for my god
I say have it your way

Pay! No?

Sorrow man
Sorrow man
Sorrow man

I know the ways to love and truth
(Tungsten body, glowing mind)
And I realize they're coming through
(Tungsten body, glowing mind)
I know the way to love and truth my god... stay with me!

Sorrow man
Sorrow man
Sorrow man

(While we all have lots of bands who influence still... we all rip off Meshuggah!)

Well was I aware that I was more uplifted by the enkindled smiling of the stars
So I cannot find myself worthy

Covered with scent vile they seem to be side by side, animals in a row

I never (get your money's worth)
Pay pay
I never know (get your money's worth)
Pay now
I do not agree existentially

I know father, I know father... I know... I know
I know father, I know father... I know... I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, all about the blood!

Yeah! I let go, I let go my prehistoric mensa!

I say have it your way
I stay heavy for my god
I say have it your way
I stay heavy for my god
I say have it your way
I stay heavy for my god
I say have it your way
I stay heavy for my god

Worlds away, sun it glows
Hearts fade to grey, summer shows
Worlds away, sun it glows
Hearts fade to grey, summer shows

Way of ways, and in a way I'm heading towards the sky!
We never will die, we never know why
Just never look back now, and I'll be happy until!
Oh! Everybody will know, I am so happy now!
I've got a little boner!

Stay in line, in line we stay!
Stray from the norm and never be heard!
Always above, always alone!
Reaffirm:
This is the planet of the apes!

(Jesus, Jihad. Jesus, Jihad. Jesus, Jihad. Jesus, Jihad. Jesus)

Show ourselves the beauty of our ways
Then maybe we would last

Hey!
Are we observing? Are we the observed?
Are we deserving... Or are we deserved?
If what we owe is all we know!
Then ever in the presence of events that change us all... And then are gone
If they know, what we may never know... Then let this be the lesson of our ways!

(Jesus, Jihad. Jesus, Jihad. Jesus, Jihad. Jesus, Jihad. Jesus)

Please don't cry to me, 'cause what you believe is the cause of your own demise
You need to be free in money and the worlds between us! Your words, THEY SAY THIS!
Under the pleasant lines!

I'm sorry baby, I'm sworn to miles and miles of love
I'm sorry baby, I'm sworn to miles and miles of love
I'm sorry baby
Baby
Miles and miles of love!

One is all connected, tungsten body glowing mind!
One collective!
Wild desire!

All the world's been waiting for the news!

Save me your heart!

We must trust in ourselves my friends!

One is all connected! Tungsten body glowing mind!

(One is all, collective)
(One is all, collective)
(One is all, collective)
(One is all, collective)
(One is all, collective)

  27. K.... 1....

    11.54 Never forget bliss !.

  28. G.... ....

    After hundreds of listens I've determined this song is an advertisement for Burger King. I say have it your way

  29. M.... ....

    Is it just me or is the unmasked Doof Warrior meant to look like Devin Townsend?

  30. D.... R....

    im completely satisfied with this live verson. with so many layers of backtrack and all. nice to have those background singers so he can cut out a bit and just jam. epic! cheerz. d

  31. R.... t....

    That Tommy puppet tho...

  32. A.... V....

    I'm sorry, baby...

  33. V.... R....

    "Meshuggah. Meshuggah, Meshuggah, Meshuggah..."

    V.... R....

    Meshuggah + Muse

    V.... R....

    +Rhyme Keenan Huh? OH MY GOD IT ACTUALLY SAYS "We all rip off Meshuggah!" DDx i dont know why i thought it said for some reason "my sugar" instead of "Meshuggah" lol

    V.... R....

    +unique Master just admit it, you just felt stupid after you realised he just meant the lyrics oO

    V.... R....

    He wants all the sugar in order to summon Saruman...

    V.... R....

    Meshuggah it's just rhythm without melody or harmonies ... this has more feeling, like death

  34. I.... C....

    Fucking. Epic.

  35. A.... M....

    Min 3:40, too epic!

  36. S.... S....

    ...was that a Jens Kidman puppet?

    S.... S....

    No, Tommy Rogers from Between The Buried And Me :)

  37. J.... L....

    Devin looks like he could be a villain from a children's movie

    J.... L....

    Jay Lee
    He can be Lex Luther.

    J.... L....

    @Jake Stern Lex Luthor but with more fart jokes

  38. j.... ....

    You got to realize that his songs have so many layers and harmonies that Frank Zappa is a big influence.

    j.... ....

    joweerocks yeah, he kinda came from that Zappa camp as well, being with Steve Vai and everything.

  39. a.... a....

    I really love the ending from 9:20... so epic!

  49. M.... H....

    Speechless. Narcissism at it's finest.

  50. J.... T....

    So much meshuggah in this track!

    J.... T....

    Normally I would disagree but the lyrics literally say"While we all have lots of bands who influence still... we all rip off Meshuggah!"

    J.... T....

    That is what the OP was referencing you simple minded dumb fuck. Sad.

  51. d.... ....

  54. O.... R....

    so great to see Devin along with Dirk Verbeuren..we need more of this awesomeness \m/

  55. D.... R....

    Valdemort  gets a bad rap for his evil wizardry.  If people knew he was such a brilliant musician...

  66. 0.... ....

    I would literally kill just to be able to see DTP in concert

  67. M.... ....

    hot damn, they sound so big but they are just in a small venue. awesome as always!

  68. T.... T....

    The back up singers kind of remind me of The Joker and Harley Quinn by, the way they are dressed and the colors.

  69. W.... ....

    I personally prefer RVP

  70. K.... D....

    He has to be, to follow Gene Hoglan /,,/

  71. Z.... P....

    Mike young the bassist looks like the dude from always sunny in philidelphia lol

  83. H.... ....

    Song needs more minutes

  84. Z.... ....

    Djevin Townsend.

  85. C.... ....

    I love how the Tommy Giles puppet pretty much replicates all the movements he makes while singing live

  86. p.... ....

    Just awesome!

  87. G.... ....

    7:29 fucking Tommy Rogers Puppet lol

  88. T.... ....

    The puppet show was fuggins wheat.

  89. l.... ....

    Just seen them at brixton academy, awesome gig.

  90. P.... ....

    there is alot of playback in this song unfortunately

  91. L.... C....

    Devin is such an enthralling performer, I can't say I've seen anybody like him before. On a side note at 8:00, are they making fun of BTBM?

  92. H.... F....

    Devin Townsend doing djent. The best thing I've ever seen.

  93. J.... S....

    WHOA!!!

  94. A.... ....

    I love this song and DTP so much but a lot of they decon lyrics and their cadence just haven't settled well with me and I get bothered by it when relistening =[ Still absolutely incredible what he achieved with this project and these performances.

  95. f.... k....

    genius!!!

  96. B.... T....

    Tommy Rogers' guest vox fit so perfectly.

  97. Z.... ....

    The Between the Buried and Me singer did some vocals for this song on the album, and I presume he couldn't make the concert so they made the puppet video thing instead and played it when his part come up.

  98. M.... ....

    Wth is the puppet doing? Does this mean that Devin is the new furher?

  99. t.... ....

    and make it sound better then mp3
