Everything Everything - The Peaks Lyrics
So they came one by one,
There was never any warning,
Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long,
And I saw the whole rise,
I saw the whole thing fall, down,
And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up
Cross the peaks, cross the marsh
Cross your fingers for the last time,
And pass out the blame to someone,
And never stepping up, son!
There’s trillions lost, I’m dreaming of a different time
And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,
And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,
And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,
I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up
And I’ve seen biomass swarm, back and forth across the globe
They try all manner of things just to keep it all afloat,
And I’ve seen more criminals hung than innocents walk,
I’ve seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up
Come now, decider, sit down, beside me,
Tell me my world is gone.

Everything Everything The Peaks Comments
I'm ashamed for just NOW hearing this
So they came, one by one, there was never any warning
Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last long
And I saw the whole rise, I saw the whole thing fall down
And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out
Oh I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave
And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow up
Cross the peaks, cross the marsh, cross your fingers for the last time
And pass out the blame to someone and never step it up side
And nobody's asking, "Why is your head bent down so?"
There's trillions lost, I'm dreaming of a different time
I'm left holding my head looking down at every grave
And all millennia pass, just a flicker in a wave
And I've seen more villages burn than animals born
I've seen more towers come down than children grow up
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
I've seen biomass swarm back and forth across the globe
They try all manner of things just to keep it all afloat
And I've seen more criminals hung than innocents walk
I've seen more horrors made real than dreamers wake up
Oh
Oh
Oh
Come now, Decider, sit down beside me
Tell me my world is gone, oh
Atop my Mother's Mountains, The Peaks. (Peak District, UK)
What a beautiful song. The breathtaking voice and deep lyrics...
Grand merci Stéphanie! so beautiful voice.
Thank you, Lewis
Channeling some Radiohead imo and in beautiful, non-derivative but rather great-minds kind of way.
the most home is earth.
The keyboard that starts at 3:41 sounds like the h3h3 theme.
is it just me or this song sounds like a marina & the diamonds song
lyrics?
I can't find a fault for this band...stunningly good
man i second that! these guys are true musicians
one of the most under rated songs ever...
Pretty sure i account for at least half of these views...
"I've seen more towers come down than children grow up"
Was listening to this song in the car and as soon as I heard this line, that was it, could not hold in the tears :')
+BigFanOfManyThings They do that a lot for me. 'I don't want my children in an endless race.' on Duet is a tear-jerker too.
My god he can write lyrics. Such a charged performance of them too. I don’t think there’s ever been a band that makes me this emotional.
Beautiful.
Best. Band. Ever. T^T
Falsetto Blue Nile.
Love this song ....
Found this from listening to Lewis Watson's cover. Both are so beautiful...(:
It's like someone pitched the National up an octave.
Nice, sort of rhead sort of it bites, class!
