Isles & Glaciers - Hills Like White Elephants Lyrics






These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us
Things aren't the way that we-

Love as if you didn't know at all
Never once, never knew, painted glass with no love
(Wish I could answer you)
So uptight and desperate for attention
We're all lost and begging to be found
With every word you say, you lead everyone on

These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us

You've stopped before the sayer says a word

I need to take it out on you (really take it out, really give it all)
As hard as I can and let you, let you have it all
Do I make you?

Don't start, don't start, shaking again
She can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands but
If love is a way out, then please let me in
Don't start, darling
Don't you turn my nightmares into dreams again

With every word you say, you lead everyone on

These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us

We all did what we had to do
We all did what we had to do
We all did what we had to do
We all did what we, what we had to do
What we had to do

These are the veins of the way that we love
These are the hearts of lonely people ripped in front of us
(We only did what we had to do)

    Vic is perfect

  4. G.... A....

    They reached perfection when they created this band. So sad it ended when it barely started.

  5. P.... ....

    Reminds me of Sleeping with Sirens..

  7. E.... G....

    craig mabbit needs to join

  8. M.... S....

    omg this reminds me of my emo days lmao

  9. p.... t....

    When you start to like a new band but they only put out one album.They were together only for two years.Broke up 7 years ago.But it's okay cause they are apart of your favorite bands now

    p.... t....

    pierce the black sirens romance horizon fire are you retarded lol they were all in their bands before this too lol. This was a quick collab they only did like two shows. Never toured or anything lmao.

  10. M.... ....

    Take out Vic and add Tyler Carter or Trenton Woodley or Anthony Green.

    M.... ....

    Magnavol noooope

  11. C.... M....

    Craig owens killed it

  12. C.... M....

    where do I buy this album

  13. C.... M....

    still 🔥🔥 in 2017

  14. s.... g....

    i hate how underrated this band is

    s.... g....

    sophia garza was

    s.... g....

    it was more like a collab. they made one album

  15. D.... m....

    Music is like a synthetic feeling of intense emotions put into sonic waves

  16. E.... ....

    Everyone talks about the singers, but the drums and programming by Brian Southall (from Boys Night Out and, my personal favorite, TREOS) are what make this band. Otherwise it would just be a bunch of icing with no cake.

    E.... ....

    Finally someone else sees it

    E.... ....

    southall is from fordirelifesake the greatest melodic hardcore band ever. fordirelifesake is real dope shit..

  17. W.... R....

    Wait ... wtf does Whitechapel have to do with SS or Mitch??

    W.... R....

    Similar style

  18. T.... B....

    Would have bee great if these guys were still going, but Johnny is such a fucking asshole. Great voice, terrible person.

    T.... B....

    This was made almost 4 years ago. Jonny has significantly cleaned up his act since this. He isn't perfect, and he never will be. Although, no one ever will be perfect. Neither of us knows what is going on in his life. Please don't beat people up over their past. It gives them no reason to change.

    T.... B....

    @Natabu Azamari You know, you're right. We shouldn't keep beating up Johnny. I did meet him at the All Stars Tour in Pennsylvania, he seemed pretty chill. 

    T.... B....

    @Tyler Burns
    I toured with Jonny last year.  He was nothing but great to me and the rest of our tour package.  0 complaints from any of us. 

    T.... B....

    Every time I've met him he's been amazing. This is some lame shit.

  19. E.... L....

    need to throw some Tyler Carter in there.

    E.... L....

    Trenton's voice is so distinctive even though he still follows that R&B vocal technique. It reminds me of Bert McCracken from the Used except Trenton's skills are way better developed. Same tone, different technique/style. So clean though. Probably my favorite voice in rock genres.

    E.... L....

    +Bryan Birmingham torn covered by them is my shit right now

    E.... L....

    Hands Like Houses- Lion Skin

    Trenton, Jonny Craig, Tyler Carter go all in at the bridge, but it's so hard to decipher who's who unless you're a hardcore fan of them all. Which makes it almost a pointless mix. Still sounds awesome, but you could get the same results without Tyler Carter in there and it would sound slightly less nasally; in my book, better. Tyler still has a great voice, but compared to how pure and dark Trenton and Jonny's vocals are vs TC's brighter vocals, my preferences would exclude Tyler every time if I had to pick 2 out of 3.

    E.... L....

    Torn? I gotta hear it. I'm still listening to HLH 2012 album Ground Dweller. Haven't even heard anything newer really yet.

    E.... L....

    I advise that you do.

  20. A.... w....

    i honestly believe that their trio is the best modern trio ever
    let's not forget the talented musicians and guitarist involved in this super group
    great band wish they could release more albums!

  21. U.... P....

    i finally understand why i like this band so much... collaboration of some of my most favorite singers!!!

  22. R.... A....

    johnny/vic shhhhhhhhh... Craig Owens is singing

    R.... A....

    EXACTLY

    R.... A....

    +Ryan A lmao jonny craig has so much more power.

    R.... A....

    vic is otherworldly

    R.... A....

    I agree. The rest need to stfu lol

    R.... A....

    How dare you tell Jonny to shush ;o

  23. L.... o....

    "She can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands but
    If love is a way out, then please let me in
    don't start, darling
    don't you turn my nightmares into dreams again..."

    L.... o....

    @aguilera8912 fuck me plz

    L.... o....

    it sounds like vic, obviously vocally, but also lyrically. i'll bet he wrote it. I love both aspects, which is probably why ptv is my favourite band.

    L.... o....

    Elise Code that's exactly why it stood out to me. his lyrics are so beautiful. that's why pierce the veil will always be my favorite band

  24. H.... W....

    Leader of Circa Survive (Anthony Green) should replace Vic.

    H.... W....

    +Minecaked Anthony Green is too good for this shit.

    H.... W....

    If you can't sing don't talk shit about professional vocalists. Period

    H.... W....

    ThrashingSalmon that’s kind of what makes vic’s voice so prominent and interesting though

    H.... W....

    Hollowed Water Bottle if he was added to the band that’d be even more dope

    H.... W....

    Hollowed Water Bottle fuck you

  25. A.... P....

    Jonny fuckin' Craiggg <3

    A.... P....

    +Amy Phommachit is a god

    A.... P....

    vic fuckin' fuentes <3

  26. A.... ....

    Craig Owens <3

  27. D.... S....

    metalcore is so bad, ew.

    D.... S....

    Dave Strider everyone has their own tastes. dont talk shit pls.

    D.... S....

    this isn't metalcore???

    D.... S....

    Dave Strider this isn't even close to Metalcore....wat???

    D.... S....

    Ok 1, Homestuck, get out please.
    2, stop shitting on our parade. Let us have some fun, man.

    D.... S....

    Called post hardcore my man

  28. D.... S....

    metalcore isnt even real metal lol.

  29. Q.... D....

    Well yeah, because neither of them are metal.

  30. d.... ....

    I like how people are arguing about if it's Vic or not (but it is you can spot his voice out of anything)

    d.... ....

    I thought it sounded like him and then I found out it is! ptv is my absolute favourite, no wonder I liked his part in this.

  31. U.... ....

    I just... Orgasmed... Holy... Holy fuck.

  32. c.... s....

    \m/d(*_*)b\m/

  33. A.... R....

    I read the short story Hills Like White Elephants last semester in college, I thought it was funny that I found a song with the same title. I'm currently trying to figure out how this song and the short story relate, but I have yet to find similarities :/ Maybe just a coincidence.. With that said, awesome song!

  34. W.... L....

    can just appreciate mike during the WHOLE Song please cx

  35. C.... R....

    are you fucked?

  36. M.... B....

    yes it is

  37. T.... ....

  66. C.... E....

    Oh I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that thinking something was attractive made me a whore. I'll keep my thoughts to myself.

  67. N.... ....

    Easy whore.

  68. M.... T....

    Johnny Franck formerly from Attack Attack. :D That would be nice.

  69. J.... R....

    "She can make the salt taste like sugar on her hands"

  70. D.... L....

    Does anyone remember mike Fuentes the amazing person drumming ?

  71. D.... S....

    can we all take a moment and appreciate Victor at 1:27 please...ugh

  72. C.... E....

    1:27 "Don't start, don't start"
    My ovaries ok ._.
    They are gone ;_;

  73. I.... D....

    damn, thats a good combo!!!

  74. C.... E....

    Vic Fuentes - Vocalist from Pierce the Veil
    Craig Owens - Lead vocalist from D.R.U.G.S and Chiodos
    Jonny Craig - Formerly vocalist from Dance Gavin Dance and Emarosa
    plus others just joined together to make a fun band/EP basically.

  75. I.... D....

    anyone care to fill me in on who these people are? i found a quote from this song and like it

  76. H.... y....

    @XshufflingtotheBeatx They're not metal.. They're hardcore.. Or as PTV says "mexicore"

  77. S.... J....

    actually it isnt its just Kellin Quinn from Sleeping with Sirens who did a single song with Pierce the Veil - King for a Day.... some people should get their facts straight before they go calling themselves MetalHeads :/ Heres yur *Facepalm* -.-

  78. S.... ....

    -.- lul

  79. a.... b....

    one of the singers in here sound like the lead singer of pierce the veil

    a.... b....

    it is him! vic fuentes.

  80. J.... F....

    the only other singers i see joining are tilian pearson or kurt travis or anthony green

  81. j.... ....

    since they no longer want to work with jonny. they should do something with anthony green. Fucking Epic

  82. B.... B....

    chords of this song -___- anyone?

  83. T.... ....

    Can't believe I'm just now finding this!

  84. R.... W....

    They should get Kurt on it~

  85. p.... ....

    ahhh! exactly, especially when they are complete different genres, like one direction and sleeping with sirens, pop and post-hardcore just don't mix well, yet people seem to think they do. *facepalm*

  86. S.... ....

    I'm glad someone gets it, dude. I don't have a single thing against Sleeping With Sirens or Kellin Quinn. This is just not the place to talk about him.
    Like, I love Suicide Silence to death, and when Mitch died, it really fucking hurt. He was an amazing dude, and his death was incredibly tragic.That doesn't mean I like watching videos of Whitechapel or King Conquer and scrolling down only to see comments about how much people miss Mitch Lucker, or some fucked up "yolo" shit about him.

  87. p.... ....

    i've been a fan of sws since the beginning and i have eternal love for them, but i'm also fucking sick and tired of one direction fans leaving comments about 1D on the sws videos. exactly what you have said, keep that shit where it belongs. i wish every fanbase would just talk about the band and only that band on that band's videos. you're not alone, trust me.

  88. J.... T....

    They should enlist The Bear.

  89. M.... N....

    But Ollie Sykes and Pete Wentz are no longer the "hot ones" they all drool over so they need some one else to worship and claim they are the most talented person ever despite only like a band because they want to fuck someone in it.

    Also Claudio Sanchez is a FAR better singer in the "high pitched" category of singers.

  90. M.... N....

    Aaron Gillespie over Bloom

  91. S.... ....

    Bitch, take your undercut to a Skrillex video.

  92. I.... ....

    they broke up two years ago your comment is irrelevant bitch.

  93. J.... ....

    thomas erak should fill in haha

  94. T.... E....

    she can make the salt taste like sugar in her hand awesome saying

  95. D.... ....

    Fuck Kellin Quinn. Honestly. I don't mind Sleeping with Sirens but Jesus, his shit really gets annoying after a while. I would listen to Isles and Glaciers over anything that Kellin has done any day.

  96. t.... ....

    supergroup idea: jason lancaster, jeremy mckinnon, beau bokan, mike fuentes, chad gilbert, mike dirnt, vic fuentes(mostly for guitar though)

  97. K.... F....

    Jonny Craig <3
