Massive Attack - Flat Of The Blade Lyrics






I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of

Things I've seen will chase me
To the grave

I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of
Over there

Things that I've seen
Will chase me to the grave

Led with your hands tied
Fetters and flies

You stumble the dunes
Complain to the moon

Backs to the wheel
There's granite to shove

Take it
They give it
So rivet for rivet
I will pilfer my family a bulletproof love

How does it feel
The weight of the steel?

The weight of the steel
The flat of the blade

How does it feel
To kneel at defeat?

To kneel at defeat
At the choices you make

I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of

Things I've seen will chase me
To the grave

Backs to the wheel
There's granite to shove

Take it
They give it
And rivet for rivet
I will build for my family a bulletproof love

    Stunning song again. OMG 🔝✔️®🇨🇿

  11. C.... R....

    Guy Harvey with Massive Attack omg ! Genius..

  13. C.... T....

    Gosto muito de Massive , mas essa ficou chata para caralho !

  14. A.... F....

    I got a damp and darkly colorful sensation from the sound..

  15. S.... K....

    Is this a new video for the song or was it published long ago, and now uploaded?

  16. B.... M....

    V good.

  17. R.... M....

    I've had wine I might regret it... The first 5 seconds....there's an underground experiment going on. I'm anxious but I love it already.

    You know the mojo? It was always you.

  18. d.... v....

    Тошнота

  19. v.... ....

    I'm not good in a crowd.

  20. K.... K....

    Massive Attack со мной уже 20 лет!
    Спасибо, что продолжаете делать музыку.

  21. S.... l....

    Humm’ 💙 Excellent & Excellent !!!!

  22. a.... ....

    The intro reminds me of Thom Yorke's Cymbal Rush.

  23. C.... T....

    Massive Attack is a way of living. It transcended music a long time ago.

  24. o.... ....

    Ебать какой Алик АДИК былять

  25. o.... ....

    Алик Нокиа всё по нашенски

  26. E.... G....

    Une des meilleures de l'album !

  27. M.... C....

    Mostly i feel irritated when i hear music like that but is so different with massive attack because you can see those real emotiona in their music like you would be there in musci video by yourself and do those stuffs and dance in this manthra

  28. e.... m....

    A 60 Regetoneros no les gusta esto

  29. H.... ....

    Wonderful to see one the better tracks get a video.

  30. K.... L....

    So fucking sick.

  31. M.... D....

    Massive Attack and Radiohead together mind blowing

    M.... D....

    Mauve Dreamer and NIN

    M.... D....

    I’ve made a Massive Attack and Radiohead playlist. Intense brilliance.

  32. I.... B....

    No lo puedo ni creer.

  33. J.... �....

    Love the song, incredibly performed at Mad Cool festival... Oh Wait

  34. C.... H....

    Ok Massive Attack = Fantastic, BUT... the lighting in the video... single cold harsh bottom light source, why? Simulating a phone? I don’t know, but was a little detracting.

  35. g.... ....

    Unexpectedly weak video to super song.

  36. D.... K....

    This was just what i needed, thanks,

  37. N.... ....

    Massive ❥

  38. P.... I....

    🔊🎶💀🎶🔊

  39. H.... M....

    Fan For Life!

  40. J.... A....

    Sick wit it.... Fucken love you guys...

  41. D.... H....

    Love all there stuff so underrated

  42. B.... ....

    why the remix of this is called "bulletproof Love" ?

  43. I.... O....

    It isn't that hard to keep on, is it?...(coughs) ...is it, Portishead?.......(coughs)

  44. C.... ....

    hypnotic

  45. S.... C....

    Kneel at the feet of the choices i have made <3

  46. J.... P....

    This kinda has a similar vibe to Black Star by Bowie

  47. E.... P....

    very good sound. simple, minimalist and totally old school

  48. L.... C....

    I miss the Blue Lines vibes...

  49. J.... ....

    There are 37 people who have a serious 'taste in music' deficiency going on, pitiful fuckers that they are.

  50. f.... ....

    Hmm.....a little too "experimental" for my tastes. I miss their Blue Lines/Protection/Mezzanine days. :/

    f.... ....

    ferbobian Same for me. I still LOVE Blue Lines and wished they would return to that sound.

    f.... ....

    ferbobian
    I prefer this. A Mezzanine-style return would be even better, but not Blue Lines at all

    f.... ....

    Yeesss! Protection is probably my favorite song from them, ever since I saw Hackers

    f.... ....

    Agreed. Mezzanine was the peak. More than that, it's my favourite album of all time.

  51. Z.... M....

    Massive Attack sempre superando.
    Depois da Ritual Spirit com Azekel - essa veio pra guiar viagens e pensamentos com forca.

  52. A.... R....

    Massive Attack is not just a music group it's a society. They take attention to the darkness of this world. If you have seen them live, you know what i mean.

    A.... K....

    I just saw them live in France, and I just know what you mean, + they are magnetic

    A.... K....
