Flickerstick - Lift (With Love We Will Survive) Lyrics






Lift up your head
Focus on every detail
Why does this illusion bring so much confusion
When all I can dream of is you
Lift up your head
We're rising with every breath
A liquid solution a chemical fusion
When all I can dream of is you

Constantly feeling the earth spinning around
But I'm standing alone
With you I see stars in your eyes
In a trance I'm so high
With you I survive
Let's get away now!

Imagine there's no one around
Imagine you're not just a face in the crowd
There's a new set of rules
No more pain of confusion
You're numb to the world that you know
I'm constantly feeling like nothing's bringing me down
cause you're always around
With you I see stars in your eyes
In a trance we're alive
Ten feet off of the ground
Let's turn it up now!

I got you
I got you
I got you
It's ready for you

Lift up your head
It's amazing where everyone goes in the end
Why does this illusion bring so much confusion
When all I can dream of is you

I'm on the ground
I'm off the ground
Ten feet off (when I'm with you)
Ten feet off (when I'm with you)

I could be true with you
I could be through with you

Don't you get it we're alive
Completely out of sight
We're running out of time
With love we can survive

Don't you get it we're alive
Completely out of sight
With love we will survive

  1. D.... M....

    My old band signal 1 use to cover beautiful what a awesome song and time

  2. D.... M....

    I lost my copy in a car accident the original is far much better album than the newer version I perfer the sound and rawness and lifting power of this madterpiece

  3. R.... F....

    Saw them probably 25 times live all up and down the east coast and each show was better than the last one ...AMAZING live band , one of the best show you'll ever see.

  4. G.... ....

    So underrated, 17 years after seeing them on VH1 I still love this album

  5. A.... S....

    I love Flickerstick.

  6. M.... L....

    2019 and still....

  7. M.... F....

    ANd someone stole my copy

  8. P.... R....

    Discovered these guys through VH1 Bands in the Run. Saw them when they came to my town in a place that doesn't exist anymore, it was a small place and it was packed!! I had a great time that night, these guys are great live. This album before it got remixed and reissued is one of my favorites! Thanks for posting this up!!

  9. B.... ....

    Loved this band. We played with them in Tallahassee and they were complete dicks. We ended up in a fist fight with them back stage over who’s alcohol was who’s. The local radio station even told everyone on the air that they’re going back to Texas with a Florida ass whooping!! Good times

    B.... ....

    Skunk Ape??? Beastie! What happened ? Your gay porno ” film project/career” didn’t work out ? The whole skunk ape band thing sounds really promising tho

  10. S.... H....

    I had both versions of this album (the original and the re-recorded, re-released version). This one was so much better

  11. B.... G....

    Thank you for this. It made my day.

  12. J.... M....

    Sorry...Wrong Trajectory is a really incredible beautiful song...loved this band on 'Bands on the Run' back in the day

  13. R.... S....

    18:48 best song ever

  14. R.... S....

    Awesome band

  15. a.... ....

    I have multiple copies of this album from when they were touring under 226 before Epic. I have one that lives in my car, one that lives in my music collection and one that's never been opened. LONG LIVE FLICKERSTICK!

  16. J.... P....

    Don't you get it we're alive....Completely out of sight..... We're running out of time.... With love we can survive......

  17. J.... P....

    Thanks for sharing! I always liked these mixes over the Sony release.

  18. B.... L....

    My dad and uncle were in one hell of a band, it’s so cool to look at all these comments seeing how much people loved them. Oh if anyone is wondering I’m britton Fletcher’s son and Brandon’s nephew haha

    B.... L....

    Most underrated band ever!!!

    B.... L....

    @Brandin Lea bring the band back, man!!! It was worth a shot. Haha.

    B.... L....

    Britton Lea 9-11 is what really hurt this band

    B.... L....

    That's awesome! I saw them live in Pittsburgh on two separate occasions. Got to hang out and talk to them after the show. I still have Fletch's autograph on a ticket stub somewhere. Haha. I absolutely loved Flickerstick. They were criminally underappreciated. I was just playing "Coke" on guitar just now and thinking, "Damn. It's been years since I've listened to this album." And so here we are...

    B.... L....

    Who is Britton? The only two brothers I know of in the band were Fletcher and Brandin Lea.

  19. P.... R....

    Great Band! I had this album, lost it and ended up buying the release from SONY Records? Anyway, this album sounds so much better than what was re-released. Kudos for putting this up and bringing back some good memories. Wish these guys were still around...

  20. c.... j....

    still one of my favorite bands of all time. man, they were amazing.

  21. B.... ....

    These guys had to buy the rights back to this album for 50k. Damn they got whored. I hate the music business. They have No respect for an amazing band like this. Every fucking song on this album is great 👍🏼

  22. M.... H....

    A perfect album for a perfect time in history. I saw them a few times in Denton and Ft Worth Tx. They did not disappoint. The watered down mainstream album release did disappoint. Too bad the masses didn't get to hear this

    M.... H....

    Good times!

  23. C.... B....

    this shit takes me back!!!  definantly main stream material  check it

  24. J.... M....

    Yeah, this is just goodness. Thanks for sharing. Sooooo many great times to these great songs, including today.

  25. o.... m....

    I remember being like 15 watching them on MTV back in the day I loved them I brought their albums and they never seemed to hit mainstream and now iam 31 and love it still and have same album .they are just great and over looked

    o.... m....

    Omg, this is almost exactly what I was going to say, I am a 31 year old fan as well, I didn't realize this album was from 2001.

    o.... m....

    +Kristin Barron . search for bleeding by fkickerstick it's a amazing sing u might also like.x

    o.... m....

    Saw the same show...think it was called "Bands on the Run"

  26. E.... W....

    What a great album! I never knew there was a vinyl version.

  27. A.... ....

    How the hell did these guys not make it and Nickelback have hits?! It's anarchy.

    A.... ....

    The 9/11 terrorist attack happened when these guys were having their year of success. Once the attack happened, everyone lost their focus on music for a bit and focused on what's going on with the world. Flickerstick then fell through the cracks.

    A.... ....

    They refused to watch Harvey Weinstein take a shower.

  28. M.... B....

    Miss these guys! Thanks for this! :)

  29. C.... R....

    Mate! I'm so glad to find this. I had a copy of this way back, signed by two of the band in Glasgow, and I lost it. Usual story: Someone "borrowed" it and it was never seen again. I've never gotten over it. So glad to hear it again.

  30. i.... ....

    b grade U2

    i.... ....

    A year too late, but, Flickerstick sounded nothing like U2. Coldplay was "B Grade" U2. Not these guys in any way.

    i.... ....

    John Cowan Coldplay is keyboard driven which U2 primarily is not. Lyrics, guitar effects, vocals...it's very U2 inspired mate

    i.... ....

    iggypopisgod9 it definitely has U2 inspiration but it's definitely not b grade. But opinions are subjective.

  31. S.... H....

    Thanks a lot for uploading!!!

  32. E.... ....

    Epic. Sorry, had to say it.

  33. C.... O....

    Aww man listening to this brings back good childhood memories. Saw them when i was 15. Good years.

  34. A.... W....

    Remember first hearing them on VH1's Bands on the Run.  You could tell they didn't give a shit because they never tried to push their merchandise, they just played awesome gigs and killed it.  I'm 32 now working on college work and kicking out their jams.  wish there was somewhere to buy a shirt or hat with there name on it.  So would have loved to see them in concert.

    A.... W....

    I saw them in about 2004 or 5 at Exit/In in Nashville, TN. It was friggin' great. Still remember it. I wish I could find this version of the album. I have the major label one. The version of Got a Feeling was so much better, and the new lyric on Coke was dumb. Instead of "lie here naked with my girl", the label forced him to say "lie here taken."

    A.... W....

    @Jacob Foster
    I saw them at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit in 2001 right after the series ended.  The place was absolutely packed and so hot they had to cart people out after they passed out.   A great show nonetheless.     They were selling this CD at their merch table at the time and I still have my copy.

    A.... W....

    @Jacob Foster i have it, bought it when i saw them play in manchester (england) years & years ago. they were selling it at the gigs.
    think i've actually got a DAT of that gig too! :D

  35. B.... ....

    THE BEST ALBUM YOU'VE NEVER HEARD!!!  I almost started crying when I found and listened to this.  Listening to the Original gave me chills.  
    My favorite band of all-time, with, Execution by Christmas Lights, being my favorite song of all time. (which is sadly not on this album.)  So many good memories of Flickerstick, and I'll always remember the 5 shows I got to see them play and being in the crowd both nights in Atlanta to watch them record their, "Live From Atlanta: Two Nights at Tree Sound Studios" album.  This band will forever hold a special place in my heart!  Thanks for sharing!

    Side Note:  SONY/EPIC COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE RE-RELEASED VERSION OF THE ALBUM!

  36. C.... T....

    I love these guys. We played with them and man this brings back memories

  37. E.... B....

    I actually found THIS VERSION of the album on EBay for under $5. There are 6 more available as of Friday April 18, 2014 at 4pm. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flickerstick-Welcominghometheastronauts-2000-Used-Compact-Disc-/120976840697?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item1c2ac817f9

    Good Luck to fellow Flickerstick fans. Love this record. Thanks for posting it Erik.

  38. M.... S....

    Best fucking band ever!!! I'm still not over the break up:-/

  39. M.... ....

    This band is criminally under-appreciated. I marked the end of my childhood as the day I found out they broke up.

    M.... ....

    Thomas Waalkes Check out Jetta in The Ghost Tree. It is Brandin Lea's new band. That is if you haven't already heard of them.

  40. b.... ....

    I absolutely love Flickerstick!! I saw them live 3 different times in Boston, and this album was so important to me (still is!!). I'm always hoping to hear about a reunion tour!!

  41. N.... R....

    how long since i heard about this band...  Love it...  coming up on 10 years i think

  42. R.... T....

    Finalllyyy!!!!! IVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS ALBUM!!!!!!

  43. L.... H....

    good to see someone else appreciated this band as much as i did. i saw them 4 times in total while they were still together, and i have an Autographed setlist by the entire band. After the show at Ottobar, i got to go upstairs and hang with the band an did shots with "el dangeroso" it was Fucking EPIC!!

  44. A.... s....

    If anyone has the Bands on the Run series on DVD or in video format, please hit me up! I would love to watch it again. Message me.

  45. M.... R....

    agreed. the original is so much better. they will live forever in my heart.

  46. C.... B....

    I just found a weird version of the record... I don't know how I got it, it was on a CDR - but it has 15 tracks.

    The first 11 are the same as the original release (on 226 records) -- then it changes here's the other tracks.

    12. International
    13. Supersonic Dreamer
    14. Smile
    15. Execution by X-Mas Lights

    If anyone can shed light on this that would be great. I'm currently ripping it into my iTunes library as a pretty high bitrate.

    C.... B....

    Chris Beiting dude, I had that too, exact same version...i lost it and lost contact with the guys to ever get another copy...any way I could get you to rip and ship me a copy or something? Been looking for it everywhere for many years now...

  47. R.... H....

    Excellent song!! My brother and I saw them live right after VH1 but before the album was re-released. They actually sold this original version nationwide in record stores for a short time. I really hate that they disbanded. My wife and I have a lot of memories with this album.

  48. S.... ....

    Who are you talking too? You do know this isn't Flickerstick's youtube page right?

    S.... ....

    Beastie still can’t get over the fact that no one was interested in a San Diego meth induced band whose songs spoke of homosexual seduction

  49. T.... A....

    I used to see them in Denton, TX before they made it big, or before their VH-1 success. They were really good live.

  50. T.... A....

    WOW, talk about holding a grudge. LOL Relax and have a Coke!

  51. S.... ....

    OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE YOU!!! You just may have saved a life tonight. Seriously.

    S.... ....

    thanks!

    S.... ....

    Beastie living in a van down by the river, still bitter. Sutton in his towel skirt “ I kissed a boy”

  52. m.... ....

    This band put on an ethereal live show. Saw them at The Social a many years back, and that close quarters environment was insane for the senses.

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

    you should turn that frown, into a smiiilllllllllllllleee (epic flickerstick guitar solo)

  54. E.... Z....

    It's track 12 on the "official" release. There's tons of copies on Amazon.

  55. C.... D....

    Do you know where to get the song "execution by Christmas lights?" It's suppose to be an extra song on this album but no one seems to have it. I haven't been able to find my copy.

  56. G.... W....

    friggin' amazing...

  57. r.... ....

    This is SO true!! On my iPod, I have the +original+ album loaded, plus "Smile" and "Execution by Christmas Lights." It's perfect.

  58. L.... K....

    I saw these guys on VH-1's Bands on the Run where they won for best band. I had the original cd but sadly after many moves it has disappeared. I am sad that I can't replace it. Awesome band and awesome music.

  59. J.... B....

    *done. I love it.

  60. J.... B....

    You surprised me. It's a good surprise. This is the way an album video (with lyrics) should be cone. Thank you.

  61. J.... M....

    Flickerstick could have been The Wild Stallions, having brought peace to Earth by now. Unfortunately, their dysfunction, which ultimately led to their breakup, was an intervention facilitated by George Carlin (a.k.a. Rufus); and Bill and Ted themselves.

    p.s. thanks for this awesome upload Erik Z.

  62. D.... S....

    Does anyone know what band Rex Ewing might be in now? He was by far one of the best guitarist I have ever seen live.

  63. T.... ....

    Roger that. TY for the response.

  64. E.... Z....

    Sadly this version is no longer in print or available for sale. Once they got signed to a major label it was replaced with the updated "official" version. Different mixes, different lyrics (to avoid legal issues with Coke), more guitars where there shouldn't be, etc.. Honestly, I’m not a fan of it at all. The original is the definitive version of this album, imo. Other than streaming here, you can still find a copy on ebay once in a while.

  65. T.... ....

    Where do you find this album? I got the one from itunes, but this is slightly different, in a better way!

  66. J.... D....

    I have my copy of this hidden away from the world and that's not a joke...I prefer this version of the album...shame these guys didn't get to be as big as they deserved to be

  67. g.... ....

    i have it and can email it to u

  68. N.... K....

    Thank you!!!have been looking for this!

  69. J.... C....

    When you're coming around, im off of the ground.. i gotta say!
