Failure - Smoking Umbrellas Lyrics
Woke in my warm bed
Just in time for all the brilliant red lights
They were streaming through my half-shuttered window
Christmas lights in time with my stuttered brain waves
All my photographs were rippled and melting
Through the walls I could hear panicked voices
They seemed to say, "go back to bed there's no choices
And nowhere not burned out"
The fireman calls out
We've got another
Smoking umbrella left
In the hallway and
The fireman calls out
Smoking umbrella left here
I gave no answer
To all their shouted questions, just lay back choking
Didn't want to stay but my bed was on fire
Instead of screaming I fell back into dreamland
Blinking and sighing
The fireman calls out
We've got another
Smoking umbrella left
In the hallway and
The fireman calls out
We've got another
Smoking umbrella left here
I don't wanna leave
The comfort of my bed
I'd never believed it would happen this way
The fireman calls out
We've got another
Smoking umbrella left
In the hallway and
The fireman calls out
We've got another
Smoking umbrella left here

Failure Smoking Umbrellas Comments
This song is either about a guy on acid who is having a bad trip or a dudes house catching on fire
Fun fact : In a live setting, Failure ALWAYS play this song one-half lower, because Ken couldn't hit the high notes otherwise. 😅
0 thumbs down.
Most underated band of the 90's
love this
One of the hits of the nineties, creating the alternative rock..
Woke in my warm bed
Just in time for all the brilliant red lights
They were streaming through my half shuttered windows
Christmas lights in time with my stuttered brain waves
The door knob was glowing
All my photographs were rippled and melting
Through the walls I could hear panicked voices
They seemed to say, go back to bed there's no choices
And nowhere not burned out
The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left in the hallway
And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left here
I gave no answer
To all their shouted questions, just lay back choking
Didn't want to stay but my bed was on fire
Instead of screaming, I fell back into dreamland
Blinking and sighing
The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left in the hallway
And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left here
I don't wanna leave i jumped right out my bed
I never believed it would happen i swear
The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left in the hallway
And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking
Umbrella left, yeah
I think it's open to several interpretations. For example it could be that the oxygen starvation has already got to his reasoning ability before he even wakes up, or prevents him from fully awaking, and there are other ways of interpreting why he reacts the way he does. I like your interpretation a lot though.
It's weird to think this song is about a guy who dies in a fire
It's a metaphor
I've got Fantastic Planet in 320 :)
Holy shit fuck, where did you get this?
