Editors - Honesty Lyrics






Don't you want me to stay?
Make a rocking horse getaway
The radio said we're in for a fall
The TV says nothing at all

Out of my window it echoes my heart
I've been checking for change since the start
Collide into me, I could do with a fight
Collide into me, cause it feels right

Does the honesty deceive?
Try to find a way to leave this party
Take it out on me
Cause all the honesty
Shuts this place down

Your bowling ball eyes have nothing to say
They knock me over again anyway
Collide into me, I could do with a fight
Collide into me, cause it feels right

Does the honesty deceive?
Try to find a way to leave this party
Take it out on me
Cause all the honesty
Shuts this place down

The broken hearts of my neighborhood
Lay cast aside like dreams in Hollywood
With the boarded up windows and the closing sales

Does the honesty deceive?
Try to find a way to leave this party
Take it out on me
Cause all the honesty
Shuts this place down

Does the honesty deceive?
Try to find a way to leave this party
Take it out on me
Cause all the honesty
Shuts this place down

    Traduction trouvée sur Google
    Ne veux-tu pas que je reste?
    Faire une escapade en cheval à bascule.
    La radio dit qu'on chutera inévitablement.
    La télévision ne dit rien du tout.
    Rien du tout., Rien du tout.
    Hors de ma fenêtre, il fait écho à mon cœur.
    Depuis le début, je guette des signes de changement.
    Entre-moi dedans, ça m'irait bien.
    Entre en collision avec moi, je le sens bien.
    Est-ce que l'honnêteté trompe?
    Essaye de trouver un moyen de quitter cette fête.
    Déverse tout sur moi parce que
    Toute l'honnêteté a tout bloqué.
    Tes yeux en boule de bowling n'ont rien à dire.
    Ils me renversent encore de toute façon.
    Entre-moi dedans, ça m'irait bien.
    Entre en collision avec moi, je le sens bien.
    Est-ce que l'honnêteté trompe?
    Essaye de trouver un moyen de quitter cette fête.
    Déverse tout sur moi parce que
    Toute l'honnêteté a tout bloqué
    Les cœurs brisés de mon quartier
    Sont tombés à l'eau comme des rêves à Hollywood,
    Avec les fenêtres barricadées à la vente de clôture.
    Est-ce que l'honnêteté trompe?
    Essaye de trouver un moyen de quitter cette fête
    Déverse tout sur moi parce que
    Toute l'honnêteté a tout bloqué
    Est-ce que l'honnêteté trompe?
    Essaye de trouver un moyen de quitter cette fête
    Déverse tout sur moi parce que
    Toute l'honnêteté a tout bloqué

    This band do everything so well. I'm sort of glad though that they're not a Coldplay mainstream band. They deserve it no doubt but kinda happy they're our dirty secret...

  29. p.... ....

    περιεργος συλλογισμος που δεν ανταποκρινεται 100% στην πραγματικοτητα. ενας συλλογισμος που αγγιζει το 100% ειναι ο εξης: οι Ελληνες λατρευουν να πιστευουν τα ψεματα που τους λενε οι πολιτικοι τους.

  39. B.... i....

    their style sounds like The Killers somehow, is'n it?

    B.... i....

    +Black iris Yes they do, and just as the Killers they seem to be inspired by Joy Division as well, and so the cycle goes on..

    B.... i....

    Or Editors before ?

  40. W.... ....

    mi favorita ♥

  41. H.... M....

    este es uno de esos grupos q, escuchas una canción y dices tienen algo, luego oyes otra y quedas como.....Hey. ..... y oyes y buscas Masss de ellos.tienen un sonido q quizá en una primera mirada no sea fácil, pero es tal q cada q se oye va cabando en ti de forma constante, lenta pero persistente, hasta q quedas irremediablemente enamorado de su música

    H.... M....

    HELEN MAGNUS tienes razon apenas los eschuche hace tres dias y no dejo de escucharlos, la voz la musica las letras este. grupo tiene todo

    H.... M....

    HELEN MAGNUS tome su merecido like!! Hermosa

  47. N.... R....

    Great song   Thanks again

  48. D.... d....

    What's your personal interpretation of this song guys? :)

    D.... d....

    +Diario di una Lightworker anche io mi stavo chiedendo questo, sopratutto ho un problema a seguire la trama dei video :((

    D.... d....

    I thought it meant something completely different before watching the video, but after watching the video, I think it's about people living in desperation, and how they may be tough to admit it, but they are empty and want out. I see the lyrics as being inside the mind of any one of the individuals in the video's feelings about their life-choices. I may be over thinking it, but it makes the video very sad to me. The girl with the brown jacket at the same time as the lyrics 'collide into me, I could do with a fight' seems to interpret she is lonely and ANY feeling in life would be a positive thing for her: so sad. 'The broken hearts of my neighborhood, they cast aside like the dreams in Hollywood' and the prostitutes on that scene, is their depseration. It's very sad. Then the homeless guy and the lyrics 'Does the honesty deceive? Try to find a way to leave this party.': he is ripping the Bible during this time, like he's tried, and tried and giving up because no one, or power gave him the time of day. I think Tom Smith created an epic song worthy of emotional disarray here. F-ing brilliant and sad at the same time....

  49. A.... C....

    Sounds like Dickinson somehow

    A.... C....

    Rob or Bruce?

    A.... C....

    bruce ofc

    A.... C....

    Maiden does rule, but i still love me some Catherine Wheel

  50. D.... ....

    Great work on the exchange of glances in this one. I really appreciate how a short-lived communication is established via a mere reciprocal gaze. Sometimes, interactions between people are just that temporary, that fragile... and, somehow, that mysterious.

    D.... ....

    true😔

  51. F.... O....

    Tom's vocals. Wow.

  52. d.... ....

    Steering dangerously close to blandness. Need to get back to the intensity of the earlier albums.

  53. P.... C....

    Had never heard these guys before but then stumbled on a Mirror article about vocal range and Tom Smith was top so had a listen to a few of his tracks. Now I'm in the awkward position of having to be thankful to The Mirror :-(, cos these guys are pretty damn good lol.

    P.... C....

    You need to go and see them play live. I saw them 6 times and can never get enough. Am end has a start is by far their best album and live tour.

  54. A.... C....

    tv says nothing at all!!!!!!!!!

  55. M.... G....

    ES UNA CANCION GENIAL....
    PERO SU VIDEO COMO K NO VA....
    PUDO SER MEJOR....

  56. P.... M....

    Yes, finally the Editors return to basics, good music

  57. S.... K....

    one of these songs that give mw chills

  58. D.... R....

    Un album capolavoro!

  59. F.... V....

    In fact we shouldn't say love if not #Honesty

  60. l.... ....

    bellissimo pezzo

  61. S.... T....

  65. p.... ....

    b.... 1....

  71. b.... ....

    Journey did this kinda stuff nearly 40 years ago....and was better than this

    b.... ....

    You're a moron.

  72. a.... i....

    Seems a lot to marillion songs ,style voice and music .

    a.... i....

    antonio iuliucci which lead singer?

  73. s.... ....

    One of my all time favourite Editors songs, I'm so pleased they released it as a single. I went to see them live a few weeks ago and their live version of the song was absolutely amazing. My only complaint is the video is shit, could have been so much better, but that doesn't matter as it's a fucking brilliant song.

  74. P.... G....

    Grande música, grande disco.

  75. D.... ....

    Beautifull!

  76. P.... S....

    The "Shut this place down" line reminds me of "Heart of the Sunrise" by Yes...

    P.... S....

    god, it does remind Heart of the sunrise indeed.

  77. F.... ....

    it's the same singer ?

  78. L.... ....

    LIKE. LIKE!

  79. a.... c....

    Hello ... honest people

  80. S.... ....

    Sempre molto bene

  81. J.... ....

    love it

  82. P.... A....

    It feels RIGHT! 

  83. N.... M....

    This is really hypnotic. Go ahead The Editors , you do a very beautiful job ! ;) even if in France I think I'm the only one in my neighborhood knowing about your music...

  84. g.... L....

    18 people aren't honest with themselves.

  85. A.... ....

    Probably their most "mature" work, a beauty...

  86. F.... G....

    This is my favorite band. Fuck I love you Editors, I hope you never break up it would be heartbreaking. They have been there through my depressing higschool days to me singing it to my first gf and her being baffled my obsession and love for them. They get through some really hard times. I love you and thank you for everything. 

  87. T.... ....

    Great song, shit video.

  88. g.... ....

    best band ever the music you guys make is incredible

  89. O.... W....

    Just seen you guys play at the Winter Gardens in Margate last night. And although not a massive venue, you guys played it with the same enthusiasm and passion as I’d expect from a much bigger venue. Always had big love for you guys and you blew me away.

    So thank you.

    loving the new material too!

  90. p.... ....

    Great shout, I thought that too =)

  91. J.... J....

    Muy buena banda
