La Dispute - Five Lyrics
Sure, I know that you are tired of hearing about it
But most repeat the same theme over and over again,
It's as if they were trying to refine what seems so strange
And off and important to them.
Because each must work out what is before them over and over again
Because that is their personal tiny miracle.
Like now as like before
And before I have been listening to symphony after symphony from this radio
It makes me realize that certain people now long dead
Were able to transgress graveyards and traps and cages and bones and limbs
In tiny rented rooms I was struck by miracles
The flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there
And sometimes a soul and the women break vases against the walls
And nobody ever finds the one
But keep looking crawling in and out of beds.
Flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh.
There is a loneliness in this world
So great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock
People so tired, mutilated, either by love or no love.
People just are not good to each other.
We are afraid.
Our educational system tells us that we can all be big winners
But it hasn't told us about the gutters or the suicides.
Or the terror of one person aching in one place
Alone, untouched, and unspoken to.
People are not good to each other.
People are not good to each other.
I suppose they never will be.
I don't ask them to be.
But sometimes I think about it.
There must be a way.
Surely, there must be a way
There's no chance at all:
We are all trapped by fate.
Nobody ever finds the one.
Nobody ever finds the one.
There's no chance at all:
We are all trapped by fate.
Who put this brain inside of me?
It says that there's a chance.
It's kept the rope from my throat
Maybe it will loosen yours.
The city dumps fill.
The junkyards fill.
The graveyards fill.
Nothing else fills.
Nothing else fills.
Nothing else fills.

La Dispute Five Comments
So true...
How did they get from this to 'to withstand the force of storms'? I seriously admire this band
Sooo good. Still.
I love listening to random talking and yelling over the grateful dead music! Trololol. God wtf do ppl like in this?
I don’t think you’ve ever heard the Grateful Dead they don’t sound anything like this
I thought this was an ad
never realized it was a bukowski reference
i used to think it said faces instead of vases. :|
this lyrics ♥
+Amortentia Lain Read Bukowski :p
+Arian hmn I love his poems
My favourite poem and one of my favourite bands <3 Lovely.
You need to scream in this song. Don't just keep it at the emo(tional) yelping. SCREAM IT SHOW THE RAGE OF THIS POEM
Damn, that Jesse Eisenberg AF speaking voice.
Bukowski, my babe. ;-;
WHERE CAN I BUY THIS ALBUM/LP
yes, but Jordan adds emotion to anything he does, and makes them feel as if they are his own/ he experienced it
Bukowski + La Dispute = 1 happy camper
Sorry, mate. They didn't write any of one-eight. This particular song is a medley of Charles Bukowski lyrics.
Annie Akers all la dispute songs off the here, hear series are instrumentalized poems and prose from great writers
It comes from Bukowski!
/watch?v=2_7JLPTeF5A
bukowski
can I hire him to read books to me? God his voice is just hypnotic...
This is otherworldly.
Fuckin' A.
Share it!
my favorite
Fucking Bukowski!!
la dispute's here hear albums are jazzy and softer, but there other albums take on a genre of melodic hardcore, hope this helps:)
This song.
this is just... wow. if everyone in the world listened to this song, we would be good to each other.
I love the piano behind the voice! What genre is it? I thought of Jazz, but I'm not sure. Jazz is a bit different. Does anyone know more songs with that same kind of music? Thanks (:
trip tamine indie rock/ midwest emo
Look up american football, lonesome crowded west by modest mouse , and hotel books
Love is a dog from hell by Charles Bukowski. It's the inspiration for this song
I found a site last night with all La Dispute lyrics. I read the lyrics of this last night and knee I'd love the song. I did. I had never listened to any of the Here, Hear EPs, either. I just knew I'd love it.
@juanns the lyrics were taken from three of that author's poems. Jordan put them together in such a way that they'd flow.
amazing! If you guys like the song, you should check the author Charles Bukowski. this song clearly was influenced by his poems
Charles Bukowski! this is amazing
@rocker22496 haha I always thought this aswell!
@rocker22496 Ikr thts wat I was thinking when I was listening to eight
1 person is searching for less than flesh
@frenchpasta14 Why are people so retarded the whole idea of 'Here, Hear' is to pay homage to great poets.
Spoken word hardcore jazz.
This.
Is.
Art.
Holy shit he sounds just like Jesse Eisenberg when he talks D:
:D i understand life now.. its fucking stupid sometimes -_- but it wont change, ever, we just got to keep our heads up, or actually down, so we dont see the the bad stuff on earth worst than it actually seems, and dont take things other peope say so seriously, for we all come to an end one day, and nothing will matter after that.
@PocketKings87 i agree with you so, so much.
Bukowski and La Dispute. This makes me smile.
jessie?
when he talks it reminds me of that skinny white guy in zombie land
Alone with everybody is my favorite Charles Bukowski poem. I'm pretty sure my love just somehow got deeper for this band.
It's nice that La Dispute has such a love for Charles Bukowski.
All of his work is fantastic, and seeing his poem coupled with La Dispute is fantastic.
@PocketKings87 - it is for the minds who truly appreciate their words and to share them with the world, to help the ignorant REALIZE.
@shinigamimomo i wish that people who listened to this could actually acknowledge charles bukowski
ugh this song is just a mix of charles bukowski's two poems "the crunch" and "alone with everybody"
but i can't stop listening to it lol
@moonlight2starlight I could get any song for you... I never have any difficulty retrieving songs for friends.... no matter what lol...
they didn't write these lyrics. but i have to say they are a great band.
does anyone else notice that this is basically all Charles Bukowski poetry just subtly changed and mashed together?
How do you get these cd's?
This song is like Tales Of Mere Existence with Jazz in the Background
@moonlight2starlight if you go to la disputes myspace you can get official versions of these songs and the other hear here songs for free cause la dispute is fucking awesome :) you can also choose to donate for these songs :D
lovethis.
this music is far too introspective and profound to gain the attention it deserves. people just want something they can sit down and passively tap their feet to.this type of stuff should be required listening for anyone who wants to write lyrics.
@moonlight2starlight Use a youtube video converter, theyre simple :)
OMG THANYOU SO FKIN MUCH FOR THIS.
where can you find this song on the internet? it is my favorite by la dispute and i can't find it anywhere.
