Flaming Lips, The - The Terror Lyrics






However long they love you, we are all standing alone
The terror’s in our heads, they don't control the controls
I turn to face the sun, we are still standing alone
At last we'll stand by the terror, it helps us take the controls

We’ll save the last sunshine, the way I long to go
We’ll save the love, you’ll still love, we’re searching through the dark
We’ll save the last sunshine, the way I long to go
We’ll save the love, you’ll still love, we’re searching through the dark

We’ve all tried to come through
We’ve always tried to come through
We all stretched to come to this

Flaming Lips, The The Terror Comments
  1. D.... W....

    Anyone else think that crying woman might be a monster or is it just me?

  2. S.... ....

    (Correct Lyrics from the CD booklet)
    "However love can help you
    We are all standing alone
    The terror's in our heads
    We don't control the controls

    I turn to face the sun
    We are still standing alone
    At last we'll sing of the terror
    It helps us hold the controls

    We'll sing in the sunshine
    We'll laugh every day
    We'll sing 'cause love will save us
    The sunshine every day

    Your voice says yes but I can't go on
    Your voice says yes but I can go
    More
    What gives judgement the final word
    When at once the sacred word
    Can't be heard"

    S.... ....

    This song (title song) explains the album's artwork. So cool.

  3. K.... ....

    Good stuff is good.

  4. G.... G....

    Does anyone feel like this album is only getting more relevant as time passes?

    G.... G....

    very underrated and way better than Oczy Mlody

  5. d.... b....

    .......why is she crying? I obviously missed something..

  6. O.... L....

    I was almost cry

  7. V.... ....

    Death Stranding vibes

  8. J.... t....

    oh noooooo Waynes eating baby dolls please somebody explain to him thats not a peanut butter & she uses jelly sandwich.. (ok lame attempt @ being witty or whitty)

  9. C.... A....

    ils sont touchés par la grâce... une inspiration supérieure...

  10. p.... ....

    i'm proud to say that girl is my daughter. we love you honey. mommy is waiting at home with your favorite cookies.
    come home right after the show. ok sweetie :)
    ...
    LMAO

  11. J.... ....

    Guys, the crying woman is part of the show; just like the baby.

    J.... ....

    the baby is me can confirm

  12. r.... ....

    absolutely beautiful

  13. M.... T....

    Sometimes people ask me what kind of music I like to listen to.  I have no idea how to answer that question.

    M.... T....

    good music

  14. C.... J....

    She felt the terror

  15. l.... ....

    Where did Wayne get little baby Cosma Shiva?

  16. d.... ....

    The guy who said "yeah" at the end needs an award. 

  17. S.... J....

    Someone help that girl... Errr, guy? Help them.

    S.... J....

    Nobody had a chance at "saving" that girl. Not even baby Jesus. I'm sure she came around eventually...eight to twelve hours later. Her brain will be altered for 8 to twelve years later. But she will come around...

  18. a.... f....

    Anybody know what key this song is in?

    a.... f....

    @Bob Walk @Bjorn- James Hanrahan Well, which is it? F# or Gb? ;)

    a.... f....

    @GNVideoTests Thanks :D

  19. A.... B....

    Oooh, so that's where all the acid went.

  20. M.... M....

    My first time seeing a The Flaming Lips live performance and I'm left with goosebumps. That girl was trippin, I can't help but think it might have been an intentional move by the band to create an extra heap of intense emotion. 

    M.... M....

    Most likely, yeah.

  21. l.... ....

    hermoso :')

  22. E.... Y....

    My dad always said: "Be careful with the flaming lips, Eugene"

    E.... Y....

    Great observation, so ture but in a good way.

    E.... Y....

    lol that's great

    E.... Y....

    LOL Set Your Controls For The Heart Of The... Flaming Lips.

    E.... Y....

    Did he also tell you to be careful with that axe?

    E.... Y....

    Yep PF and the lips
    My favourite 😃

  23. G.... S....

    Much respect for bands NOT afraid to experiment. Much sadness for those unwilling to go along.

  24. d.... ....

    begins like careful with that axe eugene....

  25. G.... J....

    They've been signed to warner bros. for 22 years now. They have slowly become more abstract as the years go on. It was probably the song "shine on sweet jesus" that got WB's attention. It's almost a pop song, except for the fact that it also sounds like fucked up circus music.

  26. E.... P....

    One of the darkest and BEST albums by the Flaming Lips!!!

  27. a.... 5....

    simply amazing!

  28. b.... ....

    it looks like the price for this concert was taking 1 more acid hit than the most youve taken before.

    somebody needs to give the crying chick a glass of water and take her home

  29. A.... B....

    That's a pretty long winded way of explaining that you have no fucking idea who the flaming lips are.

  30. M.... G....

    Wonder what Uwe Boll got inspired in for the cult in his film Postal

  31. 3.... ....

    Wayne says he doesn't even like acid.

    3.... ....

    dont like and don't have 12 hours to spare every time are two totally different things

    3.... ....

    You're not supposed to "like" it, that's not what it's really for.

  32. D.... t....

    wtf holy shit

  33. e.... ....

    GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  34. h.... ....

    The Soft Bulletin's that old already? Holy crap.

  35. h.... ....

    THIS MIX
    HOLY FUCK
    WHY CAN'T THE ALBUM SOUND LIKE THIS

    h.... ....

    exactly. the album sounds all hidden stuff.

    h.... ....

    I think that everytime i hear this. this sounds so much more "Rock", where as the album sounds very electronic

  36. A.... G....

    I'ts a privilege to go see them live.

  37. n.... ....

    You know I miss getting Christmas cards from them. What happened?

  38. D.... S....

    I just got back! It was so intense! I got pulled into the layers of their new album, all the different noises and instruments there are so many layers that I just got pulled into, I nearly just went unconscious because I practically left my body hahaha It was really good live. And It was a typical Wayne Coyne show, he put on a great show like the Flaming Lips are known for.
    If they come near you on this tour go see them. Its worth it!

  39. D.... S....

    you just don't feel the immense power force and passion from the album version. I am SOOOO excited to go see them live TONIGHT!!!! I wasn't sold on this new album until hearing them live in their videos! I hope its a whole other level live in person!

  40. R.... E....

    Fuckin wow!!!!!

  41. T.... ....

    Some Flaming lips songs are well put together and have a beginning, middle and an end. See In a Priest Driven Ambulance or even See the Leaves more recently. Then some are like they just were practicing in the studio and someone hit record. Unfortunate really.

  42. D.... C....

    Great song!!

    I'm an Australian singer/song-writer currently living in Italy.
    I've recently put out my first self-produced single titled "Another Day" recorded and filmed in Milan Italy.

    I ask you all very kindly to check it out and please share if you think it deserves it. Also comments are more than welcome!!

    Thank you very much,
    Darren :)

  43. s.... ....

    The thing with the baby and the lady crying seems to me a bit reminiscent of the baby snatching element in the movie Labyrinth or in the Sandman comics. And to a certain extent, Wayne has that feeling of Jareth/Morpheus but with an intergalactic touch. It's as if he were looking for the heir to his cosmic kingdom... anyway, that's my take

  44. M.... ....

    it's cult btw. Also, much like Pink Floyd, they have many different periods and progressions. If you can't find anything in their catalogue you like then I feel sorry for you.

  45. K.... ....

    HOLY SHIT.

  46. K.... M....

    I like the flaming lips before this

  47. M.... W....

    hahahahaha! Wicked.

  48. k.... p....

    The girl crying is so fucked up on LSD!

  49. Y.... L....

    uh...just by writing one of the most influencial albums ever which is still pretty often listed as one of the top 3 best records from the 90's ?

  50. D.... ....

    Im still kind of curious why that lady at the end was crying.

  51. g.... ....

    They do have other music that sounds different than this... I get the implication you're just hearing of the Flaming Lips now in 2013. And this is coming from someone who liked a Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj music video.

  52. o.... ....

    Finally an updated schtick. Maybe they were tired of pulling confetti out of their bums : p

  53. S.... A....

    I'm slipping into Charlie Manson blues.

  54. S.... A....

    The Flaming Lips should start playing "Charlie Manson Blues" at live shows again. It might fit.

  55. k.... p....

    She is on LSD or Jet for sure!

    k.... p....

    keith patty the jet will make you jittery

  56. R.... ....

    This album is so mind blowing! And the live videos take it to a higher level! :-)

  57. S.... ....

    YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH *GASP*

  58. S.... ....

    The universe holds us as mother earth weeps at it's feet. We are all connected. If we cannot find the fine balance between our own creativity and destruction we are doomed.

  59. X.... ....

    The Terror is BY FAR the best Lips album ever - I have not been able to stop listening since last Tuesday - and this particular track is one of the obvious highlights. Sitting on tix for the Pacific Amp show and can hardly wait! I do wish Ivins would grab a clue and take that disgraceful f'ing shirt off though... eh, "artists" --- psssh.

  60. T.... N....

    each of their live performances is a true experience

  61. l.... ....

    Increible!!!

  62. A.... ....

    This is amazing!! Why didn't they record and mix the record to sound this powerful and intense!?!?! The recorded version sounds so deflated and weak compared to this!! I love it!!

  63. m.... ....

    Was unsure of this song at first. Now that I've seen this video, I think I love this song that much more. Stuff like this is why I want to see them live...like...now :U

  64. c.... d....

    esa morra se ha de haber aventado un mal viajeee

  65. J.... N....

    My god. I love where the Flaming Lips are going musically and visually with these shows. The Terror is album of the year material guys.

  66. G.... m....

    I really wanna be on one of these shows, don't even care bout doing drugs.

  67. S.... J....

    Really wondering about the story behind that girl there.. that's some real emotion she's showing. It's fantastic for the performance and fits the song perfectly, but either she's a really great actress or she's seriously upset!

  68. s.... ....

    çokiyi

  69. K.... Q....

    I think I'm on drugs

  70. l.... ....

    I wanna know the back story to this like what's with the baby and the woman crying? Still an amazing video though

  71. J.... B....

    Friggin amazing! YESSSS!!

  72. t.... t....

    better than the album version

  73. K.... B....

    these live video's are amazing!

  74. R.... S....

    Beautiful.
    I'm digging Wayne's falsetto.

  75. l.... ....

    Wow!!! Greetings from brazil, were many people didnt get it on lollapalooza's show. we need a single gig of the lips here. Please Wayne

  76. p.... ....

    Awesome

  77. S.... W....

    That is some weird shit right there my friends.

  78. l.... R....

    Yeah!!! A little bit awkward at the end but Yeah!!!

  79. J.... P....

    absolutely intense!

  80. f.... ....

    hahah it's hilarious that her comment "received too many negative votes" .. how intolerant can you be, youtubers!!

  81. p.... ....

    I love that they never shy away from the weird darkness

  82. a.... ....

    Loved it, thanks Wayne! Come back to Italy this summer, it was wonderful in Padova last year!

  83. c.... ....

    We will sing always.

  84. L.... b....

    Really liking the visual s in the background.this song reminds me if the sea where all the sudden get sucked into the endless space!!!!!

  85. T.... ....

    holy shit!!!!!!
    I have all the feels right now

  86. v.... ....

    do you realize the flaming lips have other songs?

  87. e.... ....

    Great!!! Love this tune and the sound of the cymbals!
