Killers, The - Flesh And Bone Lyrics

The beginning melody just makes me say "all I want to do is love you"

The Killers music has a nostangic vibe, like it transports you to the past even though I wasn't alive back then, but you know what I mean. Can someone recommend me similar bands?

My favorite song😍. It reflects my life. Love❤️🇵🇱

the song was already great before but at 3:20 it just takes off to a whole new level

Que voz ✌💙

2:51 sounds a bit like Miss Atomic Bomb

The first half of this song has exceptional lyrics. Truly underrated.

Battleborn isn't their best album at all. But this song stands up among their best.

Flesh And Bone
The Killers

I've gone through life white-knuckled in the moments that left me behind
Refusing to heed the yield
I penetrate the force fields in the blind
They say I'll adjust, God knows I must
But I'm not sure how
This natural selection picked me out to be
A dark horse running in a fantasy

And I'm running out of time (flesh and bone)

Somewhere outside that finish line
I square up and break through the chains
And I hit like a raging bull
Anointed by the blood, I take the reins
Cut from the cloth of a flag that bears the name of "Battle Born"
They'll call me the contender
They'll listen for the bell
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell

And what are you made of? (Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time (flesh and bone)
And what are you made of? (Flesh and bone)
Man, I'm turning on a dime (flesh and bone)

This could decay like the valley below
Defenses are down
The stakes are high (scouting the crowd for a face of compassion)
The fairytale end (to face off the journey that fathers no more)
The staggering blow (you'll find the truth in the roots of desire)
You lead with your chin (thinkin' with your corners, just a compass and the sun)
This could be real (thinkin' with your corners, just a)
Simple

And what are you made of? (Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time (flesh and bone)
What are you made of?

He faces forward, trading in his blindness for the world of love
And time is raging, may it rage in vain
And you always had it, but you never knew
So boots and saddles, get on your feet
There's no surrender, 'cause there's no retreat
The bells are sounding, bring this match to an end
We are the descendants of giant men

Whenever I listen to this, I get the feels of the 80s. I just want to say this because that how I feel when I listen to this.

one of my absolute favorite killers songs

Back when music was good

I've gone through life white-knuckled
In the moments that left me behind
Refusing to heed the yield
I penetrate the force fields in the blind
They say I'll adjust
God knows I must
But I'm not sure how
This natural selection picked me out to be
A dark horse running in a fantasy

(Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time,
(Flesh and bone)

Somewhere outside that finish line
I square up and break through the chains
And I hit like a raging bull
Anointed by the blood, I take the reins
Cut from the cloth, of a flag that
Bears the name of "Battle Born"
They'll call me the contender
They'll listen for the bell
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell

(What are you afraid of?)
And what are you made of?
(Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time,
(Flesh and bone)
And what are you made of?
(Flesh and bone)
Man, I'm turning on a dime,
(Flesh and bone)

(This could decay)
This could decay
Like the valley below
Defences are down
The stakes are high
(Scouting the crowd for a face of compassion)
The fairytale end
(To face off the journey that fathers no more)
The staggering blow
(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)
You lead with your chin
(Thinkin' with your corners, just a compass and the sun)
This could be real
(Thinkin' with your corners, just a)
Simple

And what are you made of?
(Flesh and bone)
And I'm running out of time
(Flesh and bone)
What are you made of?

He faces forward,
Trading in his blindness for the glow of love,
And time is raging, may it rage in vain,
And you always had it, but you never knew,
So boots and saddles, get on your feet,
There's no surrender, 'cause there's no retreat,
The bells are sobbing, in this monster land,
We are the descendants of giant men.

Jazzy Storm thanks bro

Amo essa música 😃😃😃

Llegue por woshingo

Be still...

Is it just me or is this song VERY reminescent of Undertale?!

1:58 I can’t get “and what are you made of....” out of my head

1.25 is so cool

This is why I'm on the run and hated by most of mankind

Justine justice

What are you afraid of...?
*And what are you made of?*

- Even though this is the opening track, those lines are the album’s emotional peak.

BEST. KILLERS. ALBUM. PERIOD.

Why no one this song is?! Way better new old is, imo!!

The singer in this band wears magical underwear, and believes that Jesus actually visited America.

A complete nutjob

one of my favorite albums of all time. every song is good.

2:17 Keith Partridge vibe

Up to this day, I still believe this song should've been a single!!

Still listening 2018

Eu nao aguento com as musicas desse album jesus

I'm obsessed with this part 2:14

2018 anyone?

And what are you made offfffffffffffffffffffffff???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This song is equal parts Springsteen anthem and Bowie anthem with a KILLER twist

I haven't listened to this album much, but I really really REALLY like this song. A. Lot.

Flesh and bone is legit

Understand

This is such a profound yet underrated song both in sound and meaning. It really strikes me to ponder all the questions of mortality of this short life on Earth in these bodies we have been blessed to inhabit for this "testing time".."What are you made of.. flesh and bone" but we are so much more than that. "A dark horse running in a fantasy " I love that line and description although I'd call myself more of a caged bird "flying in fantasy" as we all have these "dreams" and sometimes the fantasy of our imaginations is what "gets us through" and sometimes can even become somewhat of our reality or a new invention or creation.. fantasy is inherent of creators..."anointed by the blood..cut from a cloth of a flag that bears the name 'battle born'" I feel that pain too, I believe those that truly are "Anointed" and true followers of Christ -we usually have quite a bit of opposition through life.. Thus being "Battle Born"-not only a spiritual battle but often trials of life in general-we are tested , tried and refined .So "White knuckled in the moments that left me behind " It just makes me think of all the times I've had to defend myself from those people that were meant to care for and protect and love me the most. Being a good person doesn't always mean you are surrounded by the best people and for myself it even meant having to defend myself from a spouse.. The darkest moments , the confusing times where suddenly what should have been love was terror and fear and me hiding alone in tears and desperation - those were the times where I could not rely on "flesh and bone" Those dark times I cried and prayed unto the Lord for comfort and miracles and it took some time to "get out" of those harmful situations that should have been loving.. but in my aloneness and alienation and isolation from others in thinking I was just "protecting " a spouse.. I was just enabling him to be abusive to me and immoral and allowing him to use idle threats to harm himself or me so I'd stay and "put up with it"-that was terrifying but it allowed me to "rely upon God" and not man. I became very close to the Lord through the dark times and I couldn't have developed this relationship with the Lord without the darkness first..after the "staggering blow" then finally .."Defenses are down" "Stakes are high..scouting the crowd for a face of compassion " I love that! After being exposed to people that were actually incapable of empathy-who couldn't and wouldn't take accountability for pain they caused and projected the guilt back onto me.. I can't understand people like that nor do I want to try..They are addicts to the "high" of the Power or control of others and the "thrill" of getting away with whatever they can..but after you leave that.. when the defense is down and you find there is actually a heart or soul of compassion out there.. those are the most treasured moments and those compassionate souls are far and few between in "these last days" so hold onto the ones you find.. they are treasures."And what are you made of? We're running out of time ". That reminds me that time is so precious & not to delay important things."Trading In his world of blindness for a world of love" that is just exquisite and beautiful to open your heart to love after battles and trials. For myself the love runs deeper because of the trials..💙"we are the descendants of giants " We are children of God! Remember that ! I personally am proud of my ancestors as well .. yea Brigham Young has thousands of us "descendants " running around but I'm proud the west was settled because of religious persecution .. It's interesting how most people don't know that but I'm still here in the Wild West of Las Vegas proud to say the Mormons were some of the initial settlers here and Vegas is a "small town " for those of us who have lasted more than a few years here but "Mormon Vegas" is even a smaller town and there's a good strong group of us here.. same with the Jews.. there's such a strong group of covenant people in this town , people who have faced such opposition because of their faith and we have all settled here in "Sin City".. quite interesting if you think about it! Anyway, "You always had it.. but you never knew..there's no surrender because there's no retreat" It reminds me of a test of faith that if you have it in you there's no turning back and the love of Christ brings a whole new world of love compassion and empathy and that is so much more easier to "win" your battles with that ..with Him on your side 😇💕🙏🏼Thank you for your talents and your example of empathy and compassion! Keep it up! God bless you with love, energy , courage, motivation , inspiration and insight!!🌌🎶

Stacey Ann our purpose in life is to develop our souls and embody ourselves with the attributes / virtues of god for our passing so we carry out unity of humanity so as that is said we must not fear death but strive for it

No video clip.
Why I'm always stuck at underrated music like this.
This is epic.

The ultimate transhumanist song!

I'll be seeing these guys in glasgow

What are you afraid of?
And what are you made of?
Flesh and bone

What are you made of? Great song - its all about confidence

I was 7 playing this full blast playing black ops 2 trying to get to master prestige LOVE IT

Best song on the album. ''Be Still" is 2nd.

when i first heard it i thought he said "eston's balls"

ve gone through life white-knuckled
In the moments that left me behind
Refusing to heed the yield
I penetrate the force fields in the blind
They say I'll adjust
God knows I must
But I'm not sure how
This natural selection picked me out to be
A dark horse running in a fantasy

Flesh and bone
And I'm running out of time
Flesh and bone

Somewhere outside that finish line
I square up and break through the chains
And I hit like a raging bull
Anointed by the blood, I take the reins
Cut from the cloth of the flag
That bears the name "Battle born"

They'll call me the contender
They'll listen for the bell
With my face flashing crimson from the fires of hell

What are you afraid of?
And what are you made of?
Flesh and bone
And I'm running out of time
Flesh and bone
And what are you made of?
Flesh and bone
Man I'm turning on a dime
Flesh and bone

This could decay
Like the valley below
Defenses are down
Stakes are high
(Let's get out the crowd for a face of compassion)
The fairytale end
(To face out the journey to force us no more)
The staggering blow
(You'll find the truth in the roots of desire)
You lead with your chin
(Sitting in your corner, just a compass and the sun)
This could be real
Simple

And what are you made of?
Flesh and bone
And I'm running out of time
Flesh and bone
What are you made of?

He places forward
Trading his blindness
For the glow of love
And time is raging
Need to raise your game
And ya always had it
But you never knew
So boots and saddles
Get on your feet
There's no surrender
Because there's no retreat
The bells absolve him
And there's more starting and
We are the descendants
Of giant men

♡♡♡♡♡♡

Havent heard this in a few years:)

I was so hoping this song would have a nod to their old song 'Bones' in it; that is one of my favorite songs from them ever.

Honestly I'm just here cuz Tyler Joseph said it is one of his favourite bands, but this is some amazing shit

Sorry for not knowing but, who is Tyler Joseph?

@Giovanni Mejia Santana singer/songwriter of twenty one pilots..next time; just ask google xD

when did he say that? that's awesome!

Onafee1849 lol yeah I did it after I wrote that comment 😂 thank you anyways

smells like u2

Cut from the cloth, of the flag that bears the name, "Battle Born"

I Remember when this album came out I will miss this kind of music

It is so beautiful it makes me cry :)

This song makes me wanna go to war and win everything

melhor álbum do the killers... amo demais esse álbum.!!!

MELHOR BANDA DO MUNDOOOOOOO!!!!!!! THE KILLERS 💙💙💙

all in all I thought battleborn was pretty crap, but this was a diamond in the rough

Rise i see that comment under every killers song from battleborn haha

same tbh

3:47 ❤

i Love the killers

RIP the killers.

Hey now they aren't disbanded or on hiatus or anything my friend don't be so down hearted. They mutually took a break because the rest of the band have kids and wives they wanted to focus on for awhile. Brandon Flowers words not mine "I made a solo career while we are on break because I didn't want to come back to the band and drawing table with all these ideas I have I think that would be bad for the band and the guys I wanna start fresh with them when we do start again" Hold your head up my friends the killers will be back again!! :)

@Caisse Hawke I know, but their albums have really fell down quality wise

Agree,this album should of been much better than it was,few good songs thats it,I want an album with songs like shot at the night,thats the sound they should of created on this album

Yep. The Hot Fuss and Sams Town are my favorite albums.

2016 someone?

michelle belliveau 2017

This natural selection picked me out to be.
A dark horse running in a fantasy.

waterfall Coldplay

I always felt that this, The Rising Tide and Be Still should have been the singles from Battleborn, along with Runaways.

Morten Bjøntegård be still is my favorite :)

lavander town intro

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking it.

Dean martin
