Killers, The - Tyson Vs. Douglas Lyrics

I need to make exersizes die class of this song

So underrated

Ruiz vs Joshua

I like the refrain.

Ankaralı yasin bide seviyom dedi den sonra bu :p ama killers 1 başka. Bunu dinleyerek birini dövmek isterdim. Fakat sonuçta... Tek başıma delirirken ağlarken kızarken kendi kendime dinlemek durumunda kalıyorum. :( arka akorlar çok hoşuma gidiyorlar bateri ile pek uyumlu. 80ler havası varmış bunu yolladığım kişi demişti benim hoşuma gidiyor. Bu ve out of my mind nedense çok dinlediklerim şu günlerde. Öyle denk oldu. Killersla da songpop sayesinde tanıştım. How did u find me havası var şarkıda biraz.

Dancing in the dark Bruce Springsteen? Anyone. Sounds familiar

Seen em twice life to live tyson v douglas run for cover feel good music love it !!!!

Hope your still singing along Louise 😘😘😔😔

This song, to me, is about the unbearable feelings of losing something we take for granted in life. Also the bass and drums on this song are adrenaline rush inducing bloody awesome!

This song gives me Formula 1 feels. Idk why but it be perfect for racing.

Looking out the window out on the street
I don't know what happened, I'm out on my feet
I hear my mother calling my name
I still come running but I ain't the same

You can change the channel
Take the phone off the hook
Avoid the headline but you'll never grow up baby if you don't look

When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
I had to hold my breath till the coast was clear
When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
I had to close my eyes just to stop the tears

You're used to winning, how did it feel?
Did you hear the screaming? It was unreal
What did they pay you? What did it cost?
How long did it take you to know that you lost?

You can hit the shower
Fill the place up with steam
And close the curtains
But when you woke up, man, it wasn't no dream

When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
I had to hold my breath till the coast was clear
When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
I had to close my eyes, close my eyes
Just to stop the tears

Looking out the window out on the street
My boy and his mother and I think of me
I'm feeling the slip again, I don't wanna fall
You said it was nothing
But maybe you're wrong

'Cause when I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
I had to hold my breath till the coast was clear
When I saw him go down
Felt like somebody lied
I had to close my eyes just to stop the tear
Just to stop the tears
Just to stop the tears

I don't think this song is just about the person on top who falls. It is about that, but so much more in my opinion. I think the first verse and the chorus are about the person watching the fall and affected by that, hence "When I saw him go down". I think this song is specifically about his mother dying, the one person he thought would never fall, and he's using the Tyson vs Douglas fight as a metaphor for that simply because they're a Las Vegas band paying homage to Las Vegas. That's why there's so many references to his mother, and this was written after she had died. I think it's about finding solace and being able to accept that it happened ("you'll never grow up if you don't look"). The last two verses though are probably about not wanting to make a mistake when you're on top. So he may have started writing this song to be simply about a hero falling but then changed it to be a metaphor after his mother died.

Tyson v Douglas happened in Japan.

My favorite music of Wonderful Wonderful! Please come to Brazil!

Wonderful song!

I think this song tells you that if you are on the top and you suddenly make a mistake or lose in something rather easy, you should accept that it happened, stand up from your knees and keep on fighting.
What's more, Even the best person can make a stupid mistake and won't meet our expectation, but we shouldnt blame his/her for that.

but sometimes we should

The song is more about seeing your idols fall and how that can change your view of the world and the fear of being the idol of someone (like your children) and letting them down.

Makes me feel emotional. Getting David Bowie vibes, I like it.

Such an awesome song and sound, shame it was wasted on such a pointless subject

not every song has to be deeply meaningful, it should just be well written and creative. and this song is a dreamy perspective of something that impacted the writer in their childhood... i don’t see how it could be pointless

The topic of the song is far from pointless. It's a kids mentality of holding people on a level larger than life. Tyson losing was the defining moment he realised how real life was. That life is filled with flawed human beings and heroes. It's a song about growing up

It was the biggest upset in boxing history.. You weren't alive back then.. Boxing used to be huge.. Buster Douglas was a 1000 to 1 underdog. His mom died and he trained his ass off.. Tyson didn't train. The stars aligned for Douglas that night...

Jesus christ. He's using the Tyson vs Douglas upset as a metaphor for his mother dying. His mother died of cancer. This is about accepting that it happened and that the person he thought could never die or be gone did and is. He mentions his mother about 4 times in this song and everybody just acts like those lyrics weren't relevant or doesn't mention them at all. The end part is him saying he's worried about his children having to go through the same thing eventually when he "falls".

Bootleg-Hero the killers are from Las Vegas - the capital of boxing!

Hopefully hear this in july at bolton

It was a shock. Also reminds me of Lewis getting KO’d by McCall.. left the room holding head

lewis paid him back

What a great song. Feels like Bowie.. Thanks

Does anyone else feel resilient with this song?
