Fightstar - Floods Lyrics






You can't all pretend
That you don't know enough
Enough to make sense
All this will be gone
And you can sink beneath
The rapture we've spawned

What have we become

You know we don't have all the time in the world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the time in the world
To make the most of this

Blind will bleed the blind
When the only thing to see is their lies
Let not the sun go down
On the wrath of this inconvenient truth

What have we become

You know we don't have all the time in the world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the time in the world
To make the most of this

Just smile like the idiots you are

You know we don't have all the time in the world
To make the floods keep still
You know we don't have all the time in the world
To make the most of this

    One of my favorite songs.

  46. S.... F....

    i dont normally comment on video but i agree does sound like something red would do

  47. T.... ....

    The chorus kind of reminds me of something Red would do.

  48. P.... S....

    muse song much??

    P.... S....

    +Peter Soar muse? do not be stupid.Silly comparison.

    P.... S....

    +Peter Soar This is a hint. But every band has their inspiration. John Lennon was inspired by Bob Dylan and The Beach Boys.

  49. l.... s....

    Reading the hate comments makes me laugh, I absolutely adore Charlie's career, especially in Fightstar. Sure Busted was lovely and the reason I found FS, but Charlie moved on, to broaden his horizon and do something he loved. Forever one of my favorite artists for not only his musical talent, but for the contrast in his musical career, and his resilience to follow his heart. I'd travel across the world to see Fightstar live, probably one of the most underappreciated bands ever

    l.... s....

    Here here, I personally couldn't stand Busted at the time but now just accept them for what they where, a gimmicky pop band for kids. But as for Fightstar they absolutely kick arse, they should be every bit as credited as Muse but sadly they'll always be shunned by alot of people because of Charlie's past, my msg to them is get over it. He'd have wasted his talent sticking with Busted. His solo stuff is also great, beautiful folky sound.

    l.... s....

    @***** Don't remind me

    l.... s....

    @*****​ He has adamantly denied that money is not the reason he has rejoined Busted but that the prospect of writing new material for them was his primary decision maker. He is not driven by the prospect of money but the love of music in all forms including the chart pop of Busted, if he was motivated purely by money he'd have never abandoned them in the first place. I've got a feeling whilst they'll obviously play some of their old stuff at the concerts that Busted's new material will have a more grown up and artistic sound rather like Take That's sound had evolved to an extent when they reformed after a decade apart. Afterall they can't sing "She's What I Go to School for" forever when they're in their 30's, that would sound rather sad lol.

    l.... s....

    to be fair, i think the way he left Busted is what agers people the most. I mean it broke the other two, James especially. Which yeah, maybe couldn't be helped, but I still personally think it all could have been handled better, and he may have came out of it looking better than he did.

    l.... s....

    @lauren ❤️❤️❤️ I completely agree with you

  50. A.... P....

    Charlie Simpson has a godly voice. I could listen to it all day. Was never a fan of busted, but this, this is gold.

  51. t.... p....

    Just found out about this band- where have they been all my life? This is great

    t.... p....

    I just found out today. Lol

  52. R.... O....

    Dunno what all the hate from McBusted fans is all about. If this is what Charlie wants to do, let him! This isn't the sort of music id listen to normally but it suits his voice so much better, and it's not actually that bad.

  53. C.... ....

    I was a Busted fan. Charlie was always my favourite from the band. Love this song. 

  54. v.... l....

    Amo tu voz Charlieee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    v.... l....

    Amo tu timidez👌

  55. J.... L....

    amazing :D 

  56. J.... L....

    i love his song and Fightstar :)

  57. B.... M....

    This was his calling, Charlie never had a Boyband voice anyway. Sick ass beautiful baritone Rock voice

    B.... M....

    Yes!!!!

    B.... M....

    Blink Me Sideways Jen Ledger Busted weren't a boyband

  58. A.... R....

    Fleur brought me here! ;))

    A.... R....

    @Agata Reluga Charlie's talent brought me here.

  59. M.... ....

    This sounds like a song Muse would do. Just saying.

    M.... ....

    The electronic overlay reminds me of Take A Bow a little.. Love muse.

    M.... ....

    @Jess your right. If only muse made stuff like that nowerdays, how the mighty have fallen.

    M.... ....

    I hear old Silverchair

    M.... ....

    God I hate Muse. I remember liking them and then being endlessly disappointed as Matt's ego grew.

    M.... ....

    Agreed! For me, the piano gives it mues'ness

  60. a.... s....

    Did anybody else realized the one in the bass looks like curt cobain??

  61. I.... ....

    Kinda museish :D

  62. F.... ....

    fuck you charlie this song wouldve been good if if you wernt in this shitty band

    F.... ....

    @Flopalotapus Bass u do realise i could get u arrested 

    F.... ....

    @Astral_Fizzy (PS3) To be honest mate I doubt it 

    F.... ....

    piss off obey

    F.... ....

    yeah but its even better with Charlie in it

    F.... ....

    Please tell me you are trolling.

  63. A.... J....

    they liked you better when you were dead - grand unification - one day son this will al be yours - alternate endings - be human - young pilgrim - long road home. Busted propelled him to songwriting genius. FUCK BUSTED 

    A.... J....

    Behind the Devil Back

  64. S.... C....

    he should wear tighter trousers       :p

  65. S.... C....

    i like his little beard

  66. H.... ....

    I was always told that they were rubbish compared to Busted... everyone was wrong ... and now to slightly die because I made a comment involving a Busted comparison :P

  67. a.... s....

    Have any body else realized that the bass man looks as kurt cobain??? o.O

  68. M.... ....

    I actually applaud charlie... He did the reverse of selling out when he left busted and that is a hard thing to do because many people sell out from rock to do pop but charlie did the reverse so well done good sir :)

    M.... ....

    MattitudePlays and now back to pop again with busted

    M.... ....

    @bam not anymore 😂👌🏻👌🏻 it's the best stuff

  69. s.... ....

    lets hope busted never reappear, and in that way music will become a little better for all of us
    long live his love for real music, and weep away busted loving teens

  70. S.... t....

    I would never had heard of these if I didn't read about charlie's career on wiki, they're good but I wish charlie never left busted

    S.... t....

    You rather he performed shit songs than good stuff like this

    S.... t....

    well this is shit to me but each to their own

    S.... t....

    hahahahahahaa

    S.... t....

    and now busted are back together...

  71. k.... h....

    For ages I hated Charlie for leaving Busted but listening to Fightstar and his solo music made me realise that it was for the better. Busted were good and fun to listen to but their main audience was teenagers and their songs were somewhat 'immature' and I don't blame Charlie for wanting to get rid of that boyband-ish image. And also in many Busted interviews you could tell Charlie wasn't happy. Fightstar and Charlie may not be as big as Busted but at least Charlie is happy.

  72. J.... B....

    Spotify brought me here. :)

  73. F.... ....

    They sound like Silverchair

    F.... ....

    Abit yes especially in tracks like 99 and We Apologise For Nothing but this is definitely more Muse. They also have songs that take influences from; The Cure, Deftones, Radiohead and 1 or 2 songs even have a hint of The Beatles style harmonies, a truly great and tragically underated British band (at least in the publics eye) although most of the music press have been full of praise for them.

  74. L.... B....

    Such a bad song it's unreal

    L.... B....

    Damn dude, Charlie can sing! This band would be nothing without him!

    L.... B....

    Ah go and listen to ur shitty Justin bieber or miles Cyrus or whatever corparated bullshit or whatever shitty music ur into astral

    L.... B....

    @Ollie Fletcher its 1 guy jeez r u gay stop protecting ur 'boyfriend' fuck sake n*gga

    L.... B....

    No not gay but so what if I was would you have a problem with that?

    L.... B....

    I can only assume your IQ is very low, or you're deaf. This tune is #EPIC and this band are #AMAZING

  75. J.... L....

    Sounds like Evanescence with male vocals. Very packaged sound. In my opinion comparing this guy to Kurt Cobain is apples to oranges. Nirvana was new and unique in their day. This style has been done and overdone. Not a fan.

    J.... L....

    Nirvana weren't even unique/new, not hating I love Nirvana and I think they were easily the best grunge band of all time but they drew a lot of influence from bands like Mudhoney and the Melvins. IMO I think Fightstar are a very unique band, all of their material is very diverse and intense. Prove me wrong please because I want to find to more bands like Fightstar 

    J.... L....

    +J Leverett Despite this comment probably being 2 years old or so I would recommend their new album Behind The Devil's Back. It's sort of like Deftones with some catchy choruses here and there. A very different listen to the album this song is from.

  76. R.... F....

    I'm officially addicted  to this song. What a masterpiece!

    R.... F....

    @Astral_Fizzy (PS3) Mate seriously you need to get a life 

  77. S.... f....

    Its weird even tho a completely different style this song reminds me of Annie Lennox - Lovesong for a Vampire. The general tune and key changes. I like both songs, wonder if Charlie or another member of Fightstar liked Annie!

  78. K.... C....

    Gracias Leo :3

  79. i.... ....

    One of my favorite songs ^^

    i.... ....

    Te encontré.

    i.... ....

    Ola k ase XD

  80. D.... L....

    00:21 Kurt Cobain ¿is you?

  81. R.... W....

    Busted shouldn't be even allowed in the same sentence as Fightstar. Although Fightstar have split (for now) in my eyes, second to InMe they are one of the most under-rated banks in the UK, by a mile. 
    The diversity in their songs is something special, i was fortunate enough to meet them when i was 17, 8 years later their music still keeps pulling me back.

    They need to tour again.

    R.... W....

    they haven't 'split', it's just a 'break', there was never an official break-up! Thus, there is hope for more tours when Charlies finished his solo stuff and the others are finished having babies and what not :p 

    R.... W....

    I agree with everything you say apart from the bit about InMe, I thought they where terrible although I must confess I haven't heard anything from them in like 10 years at least, but judging by their early stuff they are far too Emo for my liking. They where a local band to where I live too but I still couldn't support them when there where much more innotive bands such as Vex Red and My Vitriol around at the time they where breaking through.

    R.... W....

    Couple of years late to this but i would go check them out InMe have changed alot over the last 10 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVR5Q1fwoI0&edufilter=NULL

    R.... W....

    Yeah inme went pretty much from alternative/nu metal to alternative rock to progressive rock

  82. B.... T....

    I liked Busted as a kid, and now I like this kind of music

  83. d.... ....

    Apples and oranges indeed. I liked Busted when I was 15 and Fightstar is the kind of music I listen to now. Still they each have their own appeal.

    d.... ....

    I liked Busted a lot more when I was 16 and 17 now I'm 20 and I like Fightstar a lot more

  84. C.... ....

    Preferred Busted but these are good too, he pretty much makes both of them tbh

  85. J.... P....

    well your opinion is wrong

  86. J.... P....

    It's because people who listen to pop music are all morons and can't actually understand real good music

  87. M.... ....

    Because he wasn't fulfilled you fucking idiot. If you can't tell that then you are the number 1 reason why I have been reminded how fucking retarded earth is now

  88. R.... i....

    does it seem anybody gives a shit give a shit, i like the idea of a band that I get to listen to without them becoming something everybody else listens to.

  89. s.... s....

    I just like charlie's voice.

  90. L.... ....

    Wow you broke my heart :(

  91. E.... C....

    He should of stayed in busted

  92. T.... S....

    it looks like muse a little :)

  93. L.... M....

    fightstar basically busted on steroids

  94. T.... ....

    Yeah let's bring Busted back. And while we at it let's give Justin Bieber a Grammy form best Male Artist. (Sarcasm)

    T.... ....

    Dude no just no. Busted have made wayyy better songs than that Canadian cock

  95. S.... ....

    fucking amen....

    its like
    no one gives a fuck about your opinion, listen to the song !
