Julian Casablancas - Off To War... Lyrics






Our eyes see colors our mind made up

[Refrain:]
I wait for the light to shine
I wait for the light to shine

They're tugging on your pride to help them win
Yeah baby

[Refrain]

When I look at you, I realize it was shining all along

I wait for light to shine
But someone else got to you

[Refrain]

Julian Casablancas Off To War... Comments
  1. M.... M....

    Obviously this whole song makes reference to the end of times and the elite that is controlling every move that we do when jules says i wait for the light to shine it means he is waiting either for the restoration of peace or the knowledge of all our past and magic energies of our soul in order to restore peace and break these chains

  2. H.... M....

    Julian sounds like he's suffering while singing :(

  3. D.... F....

    Best band ever

  4. S.... T....

    First Time I listened to this I thought there was no way I or anyone could actually enjoy this and that it was rubbish. However this album was a real grower for me and I think a lot of others, so realizing this I came back to it every once in a while trying to make sense of it with little to no success. Fast forward 8 months later and this song became beautiful and calming to me, I couldn't understand why I didn't like it in the first place or why everyone so quickly deems it the worst song on the record. Just goes to show how much of a grower this album really is I guess.

  5. C.... a....

    big depression 🌞

  6. E.... A....

    great dance track julian juliano julio lol.

  7. m.... m....

  8. E.... V....

  9. N.... G....

    a track that displays sorrow a truly underrated voidz song that deserves recognition.

  10. m.... ....

    call it fate, call it...

    m.... ....

    moonsmonsters CAN I STAND IN YOUR LIGHT JUST FOR A WHILE

    m.... ....

    +spasmotic alien queen. no

  11. M.... ....

    this song is SO many things

  12. V.... C....

    Me encanta, esto es como un punk gotico o algo asi. Todo el albúm Tyranny está brutal! Es fuerte, tiene textura, no es aburrido ni monótono. Está súper sollado. Es toda una obra de arte de la música. Y los videoclips ni hablar. Bellisimo cortometraje el de Human Sadness, mucha fuerza y coordinación; ontológico y político. Aunque, no sé ¿Porque no han realizado más videoclips de este album?

  13. d.... l....

    when I look at you, I realize it was shining all along

  14. A.... S....

    Oh god, my favorite song from the album! :3

  15. A.... C....

    Can i stay in your light just for a while?

    A.... C....

    Alvaro Cruz I've made up my time watching you

    A.... C....

    So don't you wanna remind me ? What song is that (hehe pun intended)

  16. S.... A....

    it's... just... sad.

  17. M.... G....

    "they're tugging on your pride to help them win" great line. wish i could get my dad to listen to this. so much darkness on this album. it's an unexpected turn but i'm glad ya did it.

  18. A.... S....

    this song is by far the most underrated on the album. people over look it because its so much slower but the simplicity gives it power, the emotion in the lyrics and the way they are sung give this song it's stregnth. its beautiful in a genius way.

    A.... S....

    Aurora Skye THANK YOU

  19. S.... O....

    honestly, i think he is better off with the strokes

  20. J.... L....

    Not going to lie, I've twerked to this.

    J.... L....

    US California :p

    J.... L....

    what about you?

    J.... L....

    :o really?

    J.... L....

    do you have a facebook? :D

    J.... L....

    Proof or didn't happen.

  21. T.... C....

    This song should have been used for the ending of "INTERSTELLAR" By Christopher Nolan or at least used for the trailer. or promos (Commercials, ETC) 

    T.... C....

    just saw that movie an hour ago! loved it to pieces!!

    T.... C....

    greatest space film of all time

  22. m.... ....

    Nose...escuchar esta canción hace que se me venga a la mente Las Bombas de Nagasaki y Hiroshima, la destrucción que dejaron, el como lo vivieron (según como me lo imagino), etc.

  23. �.... s....

    thanks for sharing your poor opinions with us,  Mr. Ross Fawcett

  24. T.... ....

    JULIAN COME TO GREECE

  25. L.... P....

     This album is overpower, seriously the world needs to know

    L.... P....

    That's precisely why the world doesn't know. Too much truth and compositional genius for the average sheep to handle

    L.... P....

    Leon Pavel , man the truth is pretty much illegal in America. Look at the façade most people are trapped in

  26. c.... s....

    So bizarre not my prefer song but voice very good and finally song full of emotions

  27. R.... R....

    this is easily my new favorite band. i have heard anything as interesting as this album since the 90's

    R.... R....

    Hope you're talking about the 1790s or 1890s. I'd agree with that.

    R.... R....

    +ThroatySteak thank you

  28. F.... Z....

    This is like a lilttle sequel of Human Sadness I guess 

    F.... Z....

    it’s call it fate call it karma if julian was depressed

  29. H.... S....

    Fucking phenomenal

  30. M.... M....

    The only who didn't like it very much

  31. p.... H....

    this song makes me feel so melancholic and like my mind is separated for my body. definitely a great song.

  32. M.... L....

  33. D.... V....
