Faint, The - Glass Danse Lyrics






Feel the vapor pressure drop
As the dark steam pours out the entrance
Real cold world is swirling into
A club that keeps the real life world out
Where every sense seems deathly weak
From the frozen time you spent in transit
The glass danse world flickers on
And the low end thaws your anxious body

Maybe I feel detached
I may just look too shy
It's a disinterest not
That I'm a timid guy
I call them bodies but
They are attentive too
I feel the social glare
I feel the attitude

Watch as mirrors clear themselves
With the breath of frigid air that eased in
Made up babies all rotate as
A siren spins a beam of amber
Time sliced, beat by beat
In a row, in a club, in a line, in the city
The glass danse world flickers on
Because the cycle happens enough

A baby falls out warm
It's screaming for its life
An infant tries to danse
As it grows up then dies
That's simplified, but
When your complexion dries
You wake up cold and think
You wish it'd been this way

    Barely remember why I liked this band to begin with.

    J.... J....

    Well because at the time you were a scene kid meta hipster , judging by the name that is .

  19. D.... D....

    Now the question is... to Paul Oakenfold, or not to Paul Oakenfold...

  20. t.... a....

    this day was the first day we visited with our time machine, 05/22/2009

  21. A.... M....

    I've been listening to this since it came out, and honestly I can't find anything else quite like it. I wish I could. It's funny, this music vaguely reminds me of 80's songs, but there was nothing in the 80's that sounds remotely like this. I like feeling nostalgic for things that don't actually exist.

    A.... M....

    Try crystal castles

    A.... M....

    deadsy and orgy were totally as synth oriented as this! just more like, numetal meets post punk... this is straight up early 00s emo dark synth pop if i absolutely had to describe it, but then again, you’re right, there really wa nothing else like it!!! brings me back to a very specific time when i hear it!

    A.... M....

    I would say a good working definition of nostalgia is a longing for things that may have never existed in the first place. But this definitely sounds familiar, synth pop never gets old!

    A.... M....

    This reminds me quite a lot of LCD Soundsystem actually, give "Tribulations" a shot and if you like that, you will like many more of LCD's songs.

    A.... M....

    it sounds like a lot of dance punk from the time. listen to some new rave stuff for things that are similar.

  22. C.... ....

    i just discovered this band, this is awesome :3

    C.... ....

    +CRADLE619 I used to listen to this band back in 2004, theyre amazing!!!!

    C.... ....

    Discovered them when they opened for Bright Eyes.. I noticed everyone left once Bright Eyes came on.

    C.... ....

    Random fact: Connor Orbest was the original guitar player for the Faint when they were still known as Norman Bailer

  23. J.... R....

    this is friday night rolling on X music.

  24. J.... S....

    This is quite possibly the worst album I've ever heard in my life.

    J.... S....

    @John Smith Nice opinion.

    J.... S....

    @Shinku Quickman Thanks. You should stop listening to garbage.

    J.... S....
