Leonard Cohen - Puppets Lyrics

This is art. You can feel Leonard’s soul in this words.
Rest in peace, good sir, you will always be in our hearts.

So Sad that now I feel that I'm a PUPPET

. ✌️🖤

"puppet wind puppet waves....puppet fire puppet flames"
I don't think many people realise how true this is.
It seems insanity that such forces can be controlled, and yet...

If you didn't feel something after listen this song, then: "puppet you"

SUBLIME

ok, i get it. cohen is a really really DEEP poet.
but as music, this is unlistenable.
just saying.

der Chor erst....genial

Wow this gave me goose bumps

A poet....

Puppets we are till we rest in ☮️ peace.

Cut your strings live like "a real boy"

I realise you're a female, but if I took that into account I couldn't use Pinnochio's quote 😁

This goes far beyond anything that I ever heard before...Mr Cohen you're an angel who's genius goes beyond the threshold of the of time and space which leaves only one place left to go to.....heaven.

Incredible song, This is amazing. Genius

Astonishing.

RIP TO OURGUY. Claiming him as based for humanitas, nothing less nothing more, a good man, against the damnable wars.
F.

Stunningly sublime...

Sometimes I want to lose all feelings. Leonard Cohen's music refuses my foolishness

🕊💖🙏🏼

We all live so lightly. Just puppets

Beautiful truth beautiful song

Incredible ♡

From "The book of longing". Words fail to capture the genius.

Wow ... Leonard Cohen ... THE SINGER, THE WRITER AND THE PROPHET ❤️🙏🏽😌

Puppet fan, pressing "like"... ;)

did you take your puppet wife to bed? ha ha.

History burns the truth

Sadly missed

Puppets night come down to play ,the after act of puppets day .....
Wicked lyrics.

Would he had been a remainer ?

He was Canadian, you know

Lovers seek union with the Beloved...

@Nathan B So you have borders?

@aggis demetriou what do you mean?

Mister Leonard Cohen, thank you for your strong music. You stay alive in my heart. Thanks to all who made this possible.

DEAR,LEONARD,I VERY LOVE YOUR VOICE!!! Lithuania,2019 november.🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

So, who's the puppeteer? (rethorical question)

Compañero que estás muerto, descansa un rato. Aunque agradezco estas canciones, son hermosas e inspiradoras

Words of wisdom

It feels so good to think Leonard Cohen is still living among us in November 2019 ...

I’ve got bad news for you

Not much of a genius at all.

When will we stop being puppets and wake up???
Thank you Mr. Cohen for giving us the opportunity to do so... at least for this moment...🌹

I don´t think you understood the song

Noting purely beautiful

This is very good...

Thank you/Merci/Hvala

Cordially

Read between the lines.

Exactly

Awesome

Libertarian Free Will doesn't exist, but the use of the word "puppet" doesn't seem overly fitting for most of reality.

"Puppet" to me implies conscious control over something else and planned out action/manipulation.
Which isn't exactly the situation when the wind has a causal effect on the windmill.

But maybe that's just my interpretation. I thought the video was interesting anyhoo.

As an intellectual pursuit .....the senses are / have the long filaments linking the and informing , the mind...a body suspended by these connected filaments may resemble /feel like a puppet .
OM Shalom.

​@Victor Hyman - I think I get the gist. Like being "a slave to your environment".
These phrases aren't very good at showing the reality of the situation, since they have other connotations (needlessly negative ones in this case) that aren't fitting of reality, but oh well. That's poetic language for ya.

Siberius Wolf yes.
Poetry bypasses the thoughts and finds it’s mark in the heart.I come to Leonard late on not being able to bear his vision/words.

Windmills? He's talking about the weather manipulation technology that has been used since WW2.
Which would fit with the recurring Germans, Jews; also explains the deliberate inclusion of such words - wind, waves - to suggest or imply they too are "puppeted."

@Siberius Wolf He means exactly what he's saying.
The fact that it can be left to interpretation through poetic license is exactly why the puppet newspaper still reported on the song and the puppet Tube still allows this type of content.

Thanks God for the distinction there” German puppets Burnt the Jews, Jewish “ puppets “ didn’t chose”.. No they didn’t- and in this context they were Not puppets but Victims.
Cohen has been to me the voice and words who accompanied me most of my life.
To say I’m disappointed at this text is an understatement.
Leaves a Bad- Very Bad taste in my mouth

Leonard pulled no punches. 🤛 😎

Leonard Cohen This sounds like a message From beyond with Amazing Portrey of a beautiful song. 🙏🌹❣👀

Probably the darkest song I've ever heard. Some may call it genius, others unredeemable despair.

My bella Eva - you make us so much more than Puppet lovers in their bliss

So Chillingly truthful

I want his voice isolated

Naif 👀🤭

Search for "Leonard Cohen Puppets demo" from 2006.

There's music in what I've found .
Thank you for replying.
You puppet .

Wow! Just WOW 😶

HOLY....SHIT....genius in our midst. We were blessed by this human being and his need to express himself.

Wow!! did Leonard save his best for last?.....no way are we ever going to hear this on radio....the puppets won't dare play it....so so powerful...

Puppet Youtube did ;)
Puppet Newspapers wrote about it ;)

strips away bare the pretenses of our lives.

A profundidade dessa voz , nos coloca em devaneio. Pena ter partido!! 🙏🙏😪

👍❤👍

Becoming my favourite Cohen track of all time.

Even in death he can tear my heart

Oh belleza Cohen, noviembre Santiago de Chile 2019, tortura y muertos y lucha esperanza

Jesus Leonard you punched hard and true with this one....

HalleluYAH. 2 Samuel 10:12  Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, ... 2 Samuel 3:1  Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker. Zechariah 12:7יְהֹוָה also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Yerushalayim do not magnify themselves against Judah. Offenbarung 22:21 Die Gnade unsers Ewig-Vater Jesu Christi Friedefürst sei mit euch allen! Amen.

To be so near to death and to write like this, I am blessed to have lived with him among us.

This is actually a poem of his he wrote years ago. One of my favorites of his.

What manner of genius has walked among us.

Holy fuck... Amazing :o

Tell us how you really feel Leonard! Yes indeedy..... always cutting through the fat, our Mr Cohen ......... xoxo

Free will is an illusion

The greatest illusion is that there is no free will.

Sarah Wilks The greatest illusion is that the greatest illusion is there is no free will 🙄

@Tom Newman Wow that's so original. Much like all of your education. Just memorise and regurgitate.
Don't think for yourself. Oh that's right, because you can't, you have no will of your own.

Sarah Wilks maybe the emoji isn’t visible to you at the end of the sentence I wrote, it was a joke, pointing out the futility of stating the opposite of what i had said and nothing more. If you have new information or an idea that supports the notion that humans do in fact have free will then please share it. (Please refrain from ad hominem attacks involving my education, personality traits etc. Thanks)

@Tom Newman I have no information you won't have read yourself if you've done enough research. I wouldn't think there's anything you can show me that I too haven't already read.
I think we just have a different interpretation of the information available, and that's not only okay it's what makes the Universe possible.

Though I’m totally inconsolable after your loss- but this- this text with puppet German and Jew in one sentence does me bad.

No need for that Cohen.

@bar Harris: You really should read Eichman in Jerusalem from Hannah Arendt. As a descendent of a Jewish family I know it might sound somewhat harsh at first. But it is always good to hear an opinion that is not the same as yours. The further off the better, for it teaches you something if you want it to

@Bar Harris
He was perhaps saying the Jews were victims - puppeteered to their death. The Germans were brainwashed into believing the Jews were the enemy. So everyone was used as puppets.

If we want a fair and equal world - and please mind my bluntness because I have more love for the Jewish people than I can explain here - we can't agree "Yes, we're ALL puppets ...except the Jews."
Unfortunately that's the kind of thinking that leads to planting seeds for Hitler's type of logic to grow.

@AAH Replies Try Googling NWO for a start.

@MIB 63 The wrestling organisation? No sorry I'm joking - the New World Order is China - totalitarianism by a different name - coming to a country near you soon. They've already indebted three quarters of the world, all of south america, quite a bit of the middle east, most of asia - why do you think Australia is on fire - COAL - China wants its coal [and India]

@AAH Replies Absolutely. They also have rail plans that coincide with the conveniently burnt land along Australia's east coast.

Blown away, love this

Leonard raises the bar, one last time, from beyond the grave.

Dylan could not do this

@Travis Carver "Dylan hasn't been relevant since the 70s?" Do just a little research on that one. It's ok to love one artist without disparaging another.

Chris Culver
What research should I do?
Dylan himself said he purposely put out bad albums throughout the 80’s. I was a Dylan fan in my teenage years. He hasn’t put out a decent album in decades. You have your opinion. I have my opinion.

Lennon Stravato good call....l.c. Works through the heart .b.d. Through the head /intellect.....both valid both vital in their own way...in my opinion..
whose peeling onions now.

@Travis Carver but to say irrelevant is not making a personal preference claim but a claim towards social, collective relevance. Like him or dislike him, but to say he hasn't been relevant musically is factually wrong. Time out of mind and love and theft are great albums with Grammy awards and rolling Stones top 500 albums placement. Listen to them if you have not. They are phenomenal.

Try listening to "Not Dark Yet"

We're all puppets

One for the Nazi's on both sides, hail Leo...Up the Ra

Ireland for the Irish 🍀🍀🍀

JayDon Saoirse na hÉireann MIGA

@Mr X ?

@Mr X
Ah make Ireland grand again ? Yes that is the intentions mo chara 🍀🍀🍀🙏

LEONARD IS BACK 🎶🙏👍

Just ... reeling from this. Unbelievable.

Puppet German, Live a-Puppet Jew

Is it odd for a 35 year old man to drive home in tears listening to this for the first time? If so, I must be very odd.

how would it be odd in shape or form? dont get it

M Ladd how fucking boring people like you are who can only talk through trite concepts. Troll, go to Russia, go back down in the basement. Fucking dull. Think with your own fucking head you stupid and entertain me at least if you want to get involved in a conversation that wasn’t about you to begin with. Your wannabe offences are as bland as an Ariana Grande song. You’re shooting blank fool. Get a grip.

you're not odd...

It takes a strong man to cry i cried too buddy

No, it's not , most us have tears running down our face listening to this last album and You want it Darker . I am an old woman who just discovered him only a yr. after his death and I am very sorry I did not know about him before. I go to Prague where he had some concerts and it would be easy for me to see him there. Unfortunately, back then I was clueless. I was hooked after I heard his 1st song.

Welcome back Mr. Cohen, miss you, even though you are with me every day !

Incredible!

La classe tout simplement!!!

Amazing
