Eve 6 - Curtain Lyrics






Burning like a open nerve
I'm running like a dog
On linoleum
I don' t know how come
But the effect of you on me is too much
Bro its' like your speaking code
I'm only 3 months old
I swear I'm so close
To buying a bottle of SoCo
A pack of smokes and saying fuck it all

'cause I tried to forgive you
For the shit you put me through
But it's just the hardest thing to do

So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side of the curtain

Turning like a broken wheel
My own Achilles heal
Tell me how does it feel
To have a normal day
Despite all my rage
I'm just a rat in a cage
Thoughts, they come and crowd my mind
And they're never kind
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
I'm running out of time, I'm running out of time

'cause I tried to forgive you
For the shit you put me through
But it's just the hardest thing to do

So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side of the curtain

Now the spotlight shines upon you all alone
Cuts a circle 'round your velvet throne
You take in the applause and give a shallow bow
I'm watching in the rafters now

And you strike up that pose while they're throwing the roses
Lifting up your arms like the statue of Moses
One door opens another one closes
I'm watching in the rafters now

So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side of the curtain

So I guess it's goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Guess it's goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
I'll see you on the other side

Goodbye brother
Goodbye rock and roll
Goodbye to the only life I know
It's a shame you couldn't just say you were hurting
Guess I'll see you on the other side of the curtain

    anyone listening this 2 days before 2020 begins?

  2. K.... A....

    Tenet Call

  3. A.... D....

    Abhirup Dasgupta no but I’m here either way. Merry Christmas!!!!!

    I only watched this all the way through to watch the whole things in reverse. That was pretty cool. But hes also very wasteful and destructive. If you notice everything is just perfect until he comes along and he just starts to throw shit and make a mess. And the part where he just pours a water bottle out on the ground for no exact reason besides that it looks cool in reverse irritated me. Do you know how many people in 3rd world countries would kill another person for that bottle of water instead of drinking from muddy water contaminated with bacteria? It would be nice if he wasnt so ungrateful and destructive while doing things in reverse.

    5.... w....

    5G will kill us unless we dont stop it
    I like you’re name, I hope you’re joking about that water tho, like seriously it was probably just some of that there ocean water anyway

    5.... w....

    @ThisAccountWasOnlyMadeToComment Hey thanks for the complement. If you don't already know about the dangers of 5G and how its a major threat, watch this documentary.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol3tAxnNccY

    About the water bottle though, just because you want to believe something, it doesnt mean its true. Your mind wants to believe that they used the ocean water, but in reality they more than likely used real bottled water. The fact is that humans are very destructive beings. We destroy everything we come in contact with. We are a cancer to this planet. Billions of species have gone extinct because of us and its no surprise. We are like locust, we use up all the resources in one place, and then we move to the next place when everything is dead and used up. People have this mind set that we can just destroy everything and then start over on Mars or some other planet. They arent interested in saving our planet. Simple things like not throwing away a soda bottle or can, or a used paper plate doesnt cross the mind of people. If its used they see it as trash. When in reality... its plastic and paper.. how are those things not recyclable? Just clean them and then recycle them, its really just that easy. The fact is that almost everything we use is recyclable. The only things that arent are used food. But in reality even that is recyclable. It can be used to make compost. Which is when food rots and with natures help the nutrients get put back into the soil. It isnt hard to compost but this just seems too hard for most people and only environmentalists like myself are the only people who even give a shit. Everyone else doesnt care what happens to the world because its not their problem. So not many people are going to give a shit about wasting a water bottle. Its just not very logical. Its easier to destroy than it is to rebuild.

  33. W.... K....

    Last show of their 2016 tour, at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, Max came down to the front of the stage and held the mic to where I could sing with him during the chorus of this song. Blew my fkn mind, one of the best nights of my life. Hell of an artist, and one heck of a human being! <3

    My old teacher shows this to all of his students every year. So I hope he sees this, Michael Lessard it's Ben.

  44. E.... S....

    Long Beach!!!!

  45. J.... H....

    Eve 6 was revolutionary for my teenage years. First album I ever bought was their self-titled debut, been rocking out to them ever since. The lyrics to their songs have resonated with me through good and bad times, and their style of playing has maintained it's awesome sound. My only regret is never having seen them live - hopefuly they'll throw another reunion tour together sometime, so I can make amends!

  46. B.... K....

    more music plzzzz

  47. j.... J....

    So.. Is he moving forwards in reverse time... does that mean that in normal time he was moving backwards? wtf?

    j.... J....

    They had to completely do the song backwards including Max walking backwards.

    j.... J....

    Watch the "Making of the video" video :)

    j.... J....

    jonah John watch the making of its fun!

    j.... J....

    https://youtu.be/czzdNhkl0sU

    j.... J....

    He memorized the lyrics phonetically, in reverse and completed the video in one take. There's a pic of the pages where he wrote out the song with mirrored pronunciation on his Instagram page @maxcollinsmusic

  48. P.... ....

    Holy fuck i never gave this album a chance but damn it is almost better than their old stuff.

    P.... ....

    I remember when it dropped I didn't think it could possibly live up to their old stuff. While it does sound a little different, it definitely lived up. I wish they would put out another album though...

    P.... ....

    What's your favorite song off this album?

  49. D.... T....

    First time I ever watched this video and it is awesome! Really enjoyed this guys!

  50. M.... N....

    very awesome 1 take video!

  51. N.... B....

    You can literally see the shadows of the cameramen.

    N.... B....

    +NaVE BloodWater Yeah. And who frickin' cares?

    N.... B....

    You must be fun at parties

    N.... B....

    HOLY SHIT!!! Youre right man. How could I have missed that! I saw this video and was like "HOW THE FUCK!?". I was like this must be something having to do with mysticisum or futuristic shit. I fucking scoured the internet and books, hell I went and learned other how to read other languages just to find out how they did this shit. But your superior intelect and reasoning skills have trumped me. Wow... You knew it was a camera man just from seeing a shadow... 👏 I applaud you good sir, WE ALL applaud you!

    N.... B....

    NaVE BloodWater
    it was 2012.

    N.... B....

    Yeah guys, it was 2012, people don't have shadows now.

  52. C.... G....

    Where Does This Music Video Take Place?

    C.... G....

    From the looks of it I see the original Queen Mary so it is most likely in Long Beach, CA.

    C.... G....

    Christopher Grim Outside near a large body of water. Infact judging by the surroundings it seems to be somewhere on earth.

  53. E.... A....

    COOL VIDEO!!!

  54. D.... T....

    Haven't heard these guys since Horrorscope, still rocking it :]

  55. r.... k....

    love this video so glad I found eve 6 again

  56. J.... S....

    I found this band two years or more ago and I still listening to this song!!! Please, release more like this one!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing! Gratz!

    J.... S....

    If you haven't already, get their albumn "It's All In Your Head". It's brilliant

  57. A.... F....

    Keep Calm
    And
    Listen EVE 6!

  58. l.... ....

    Brilliant!

  59. S.... A....

    #EVE64L

  60. R.... V....

    This is unbelieveable ! :O sooo coooll !! Nicee songg ❤️

  61. S.... W....

    does anyone know if they have any more songs made after this one?

    S.... W....

    Well this is from their album Speak in Code, if you haven't listened to the full album, I highly suggest you do it was fantastic   

  62. L.... B....

    so i guesing this song is about the fall of rock music ? thats what i got from it

    L.... B....

    I suspect it's about him finding sobriety, but that's just a guess

  63. T.... S....

    omg im in love with this film clip!

  64. R.... K....

    Didn't Coldplay do this like 10 years ago?  Still a cool video though...

  65. C.... M....

    Very Very cool! These guys are so awesome and nice in person. I met them at earthfest in boston in 2012 and got to meet them afterwards. One of the best shows I have ever seen!

    C.... M....

    I met Jon back in 2012. Pretty chill guy.

  66. C.... K....

    this song kicks ass!

    C.... K....

    Yeah, And I Like Eve 6 Myself

  67. c.... ....

    Not one break in filming. Very clever.

  68. I.... M....

    omg! he's good at walking backwards o.0

  69. A.... T....

    Great sound ! I've just heard something else that I'm happy to suggest : The song "When I have fears that I may cease to be" by Nikö Laetailleurs. You can find it by copying-pasting *"When I have fears that I may cease to be (part 1) - Nikö Laetailleurs"* in the youtube search bar. Hoping my own feeling become yours...

  70. K.... S....

    I knew Max was a smoker all along. Was that the cause of his laryngitis like some people claim?

  71. K.... S....

    Was this why Jon didn't answer my South Park e-mails that I used to write to him?

  72. C.... D....

    Eve 6 does it yet again and creates another awesome punk/alternative song.

    C.... D....

    Chris Denslow I'm 2 years late but there's nothing punk about this shit.

    C.... D....

    Chris Denslow or rock for that matter.

    C.... D....

    Lord Cthulhu I can see how you can feel it's not me I still find it to be alternative or punk rock

    C.... D....

    @Chris Denslow +44 is similar to this....are they classified as punk? Dno man punk rock has become a very broad genre. Same with Metal. I'd say this song has some punk roots but not much. It's more pop rock synth

  73. E.... J....

    I'm still in love with Max all these years later. Oh jeez. Woof!

  74. P.... P....

    How did they put the video in reverse yet his mouth actually moved with the song? Epic.

    P.... P....

    @Charkles This is one of the coolest videos of all time

    P.... P....

    The same way they did it with the Coldplay video for "The Scientist". They play the song in reverse as they shoot the video and then reverse the video so that the song plays correctly (i.e. forward). The hardest part in filming a video like this is for the singer to learn the song backwards. That's why his mouth isn't always in sync with the lyrics. Still a pretty damn cool video. I really love these guys and wish they could gain the notoriety they had in the early 2000's. They really deserve it. Long live Eve 6!

    P.... P....

    Awesome song/video. I'm not comparing the two bands, but check out Mutemaths video of or Typical. It's the same concept.

    P.... P....

    @rlyttle85
    That's a bit of a distortion, though maybe you were just unclear. Regardless, it was mostly correct.  They may play the song audio in reverse on site to help the artist with timing, but they don't use the site audio in the video. They merely synch it with the single. That's how all music videos are made. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't have any audio recording equipment on site.

    P.... P....

    https://youtu.be/czzdNhkl0sU

  75. U.... ....

    For those of you that do not understand the video, think of it this way.-- He is moving forward but at the same time leaving the past behind...??

    U.... ....

    https://youtu.be/czzdNhkl0sU

    U.... ....

    Actually he if he is walking forward he is leaving the future behind.

  76. R.... G....

    I can't stop listening to this.

  77. O.... ....

    Gr8 video this very clever

  78. T.... B....

    Awesome band, but I will never understand this video

  79. J.... ....

    I can't get this song out of my head hahaha

  80. m.... ....

    This video is up there with the best of OKgo. Absolutely amazing!

  81. d.... ....

    horrorscope was so good. what the hell happened

  82. R.... F....

    Tell me how does it feel -> blue monday
    to have a normal day -> ?
    despite all my rage im just a rat in a cage-> bullet with butterfly wings

  83. T.... L....

    All in one take. Dang.

  84. S.... D....

    Haha I really liked when the bikes were riding backwards. I found it funnier than it probably is.

  85. C.... M....

    That is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a while

  86. 1.... ....

    Can't get enough Eve 6

  87. A.... ....

    Cool song + cool video = me liking this!

  88. T.... B....
