National, The - Graceless Lyrics






Graceless
Is there a powder to erase this?
Is it dissolvable and tasteless?
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

I'm trying, but I'm graceless
Don't have the sunny side to face this
I am invisible and weightless
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

I'm trying, but I'm gone
Through the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine and I went missing
Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen

Graceless
I figured out how to be faithless
But it would be a shame to waste this
You can't imagine how I hate this
Graceless

I'm trying, but I'm gone
Through the glass again
Just come and find me
God loves everybody, don't remind me
I took the medicine and I went missing
Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen

All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rotten fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us

Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it'll brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows
There's a science to walking through windows without you

All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rotten fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means

I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorites
It's the side effects that save us

Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

Grace
Put the flowers you find in a vase
If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
Grace

National, The Graceless Comments
  1. M.... O....

    It takes so much writing to explain why this band, this song, and this video is great. You can spend two weeks crafting an airtight dissertation on American Minimalism in the late 1990's, the movement towards Americana in Indie Rock over that period, etc, but who is the audience? The best you can expect is a shitball political comment or a 13 year old troll.

  2. A.... C....

    Only part I heard,,,"God Loves Everybody"

  3. L.... G....

    Haha... they threw Bryan in the pool!!!

    L.... G....

    Actually, quite an achievement... he's quite a big fella...(?)

  4. B.... 9....

    In love with this masterpiece

  5. P.... L....

    Que temon que nunca dejó de escuchar...

  6. G.... R....

    They sound like new band from the 80's

  7. p.... ....

    The greatest "mainstream/known" band of today.

    And lyrically, one of the greatest of all time.

  8. N.... ....

    This song frightening captures my feelings and experiences after my mother had a stroke,but it could just be about taking a crap.

  9. a.... p....

    verga nada tiene gracia

  10. S.... B....

    Perfecto ! Епта ) Suka blia !!!

  11. D.... P....

    11/21/19 Im 20 and got kicked out by my step parents when I was 18. I found my bio mom a year and a half ago and she showed me this and all these years i don't think I've ever connected more to a song and never though me and my mom would reconnect after all the years.

  12. S.... N....

    1:36 - 2:09
    My last five braincells during a final I know I'm gonna bomb

  13. B.... C....

    I'm guessing this, and the music video for Sea of Love where they're grooving as they play the song while wearing the same tuxes and a kid is dancing with them, is supposed to represent the duality of adults. We want to appear sophisticated and well-read, but we honestly want to spend time with our childhood/adolescent selves and have fun without responsibilities. There's immaturity deep within us that's begging to be freed.

  14. J.... ....

    they have such great music videos

  15. b.... l....

    Ian Curtis would be proud... I'm late to the party when come this band. I was telling my girlfriend, The National is Joy Divison 2.0 for me.

  16. T.... W....

    PUT IT ON 2X

  17. H.... B....

    What a waste of good beer

  18. R.... A....

    suit up

  19. c.... b....

    The National out here outbatting the Nationals rn

  20. F.... ....

    1:49 slip n' slide on a suit. Love it. If only MTV played videos, ha.

  21. J.... D....

    I've seen The National live twice now, and I can say very comfortably that their songs sounded even better!

  22. R.... A....

    If you like this...listen to DRIVE by the "born heathens"

  23. T.... W....

    Me: I wonder why this sing is called Graceless?






    *Watches Video*
    Me: AHHHH, I SEE...

  24. W.... P....

    I heard there is a new TV show coming about The National, anyone heard if this sis still happening?
    And speaking of cool videos what d'you think of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOCvS-Iect8&list=PLWehun4PmMf-tCdbTVDVsHcDqiWWM_MRM

  25. J.... S....

    When I check LivePlasma I expect San Fermin to be a link but it's not and I'm not sure why, I definitely hear some similarities.

  26. M.... B....

    The good ole potato cannon

  27. A.... G....

    Gosh, I'm 19 and heard this for the first time when my father was playing it then fell in love

  28. D.... ....

    Indie rock team building exercises.

    D.... ....

    Haha its a great video! And speaking of cool videos what d'you think of this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOCvS-Iect8&list=PLWehun4PmMf-tCdbTVDVsHcDqiWWM_MRM

  29. �.... �....

    god loves everybody, dont remind me i love this part .

  30. R.... S....

    I bet these guys have done Ayahuasca at least a couple of times...

  31. B.... B....

    Mum: You've ruined your suit
    Me: Talk to Matt Berninger

  32. M.... M....

    🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

  33. D.... C....

    Greatest music video ever made!

  34. y.... ....

    I used to think this music video didn't match the gravity of the song. Now, several years later, I see its levity as the band's characteristically tongue-in-cheek reprieve from the gravity of the song, which paradoxically enhances both the gravity and the levity of the song.


    Also, potato cannon.

  35. s.... ....

    I've yet to discover any music by The National that's worth my while. Do all their songs have this lack of urgency?

  36. E.... T....

    I love the push and pull groove of this song...fits the lyrical theme perfectly. This is a very heavy band...not in a metal sense of course...the tortured poetic words grind with the music in a way that leaves me feeling slapped in the face with overwhelming sadness. Outstanding and disturbing just the same.... the national is a good band I can't listen to...too fucking sad...a modern day THE CURE maybe...better lipstick?

  37. d.... s....

    So this is what rich and talented musicians do on their days off.

  38. M.... H....

    This is the coolest videoclip I have ever seen in my fucking life.

  39. n.... p....

    Who got married

  40. C.... Q....

    Thank goodness they didn't break out the machinery. Imagine the dry cleaning bill.

  41. S.... L....

    Sad dads having fun. Priceless!

  42. G.... L....

    Carnival of Souls?

  43. V.... C....

    Video budget:
    2 cases of beer
    Slip and Slide
    Pool cleaner for urine
    1 pineapple
    Jumper room rental
    Dad rock = Priceless

    V.... C....

    veerchasm1 Dude on tractor just happened to be there: Free hahaha

  44. B.... O....

    Was this filmed in Cincinnati?

  45. A.... K....

    Merry me

  46. G.... Z....

    I bet Gillette thinks this is toxic masculinity, but I think it it looks like an amazing time! This is how you do a bachelor party!

  47. L.... '....

    im 9 and i love this band can u do a tour in dunedin new zealand

  48. B.... L....

    This is what music videos should be. No organization. Just a bunch of people pissing around in a somehow beautiful way

  49. D.... H....

    This song brings me so much nostalgia, I don't even know why it makes me feel so sad

  50. A.... M....

    This is the strangest Kubota commercial I've ever seen.

  51. B.... H....

    I always thought that as he sings about how: 'there's a science to walking through windows,' he is actually talking about sneaking out of heaven. Assuming heaven has windows. Could also be talking about sneaking out of hell. Any thoughts?

    B.... H....

    Then again, hell would probably have bars on its windows...

  52. V.... Z....

    what a waste of beer

  53. B.... 9....

    Cool song!!

  54. T.... a....

    I just love this vid

  55. C.... R....

    I find it so so obvious that this song documents addiction, rock bottom, and a hint of a speck of hope. But I am aware that may be simply bias on my part. Seeing what is relevant to me myself. Addicts are especially guilty of this bias I think.
    But its true : the side effects DO save us. Grace.

    C.... R....

    Glad I got out before it was too late. I always think of Layne Staley sitting in that apartment until the bitter bitter end, alone degraded inhuman. Would I still be in that room if I was independently wealthy??? Perhaps. Hell, even Yes, as of today. But I hope not until the end. I don't want to go there

  56. L.... B....

    “All of my thoughts of you
Bullets through rotten fruit
Come apart at the seams
Now I know what dying means
I am not my rosy self
Left my roses on my shelf
Take the white ones, they're my favorite
It's the side effects that save us”

    Absolute poetry.

  57. M.... M....

    I just realized that this song is for Thomas Shelby

  58. H.... ....

    🙂✌🏼❤️ don’t let them die on the vine it’s a waste, grace

  59. T.... a....

    I've just realized Scott smiles a lot...he never looks unhappy

  60. H.... O....

    This is one of my favorite songs ever; even in 2019, it stands the test of time.

    H.... O....

    Mines too, masterpiece!

  61. B.... H....

    Great video great song RIP all those who unselfishly served

  62. J.... A....

    God love everybody don’t remind me...

  63. B.... ....

    Looking back, this is all I ever needed from the National, their whole discog aside. I've watched this when I'm happy, when I'm sad, melancholy and the spaces in between. It always works. Polite despair has its anthem.

  64. F.... S....

    the national, pobre piletero,  los mellizos son tremendos. desde argentina

  65. q.... a....

    After watching this video, I want to be a rock musician, now.

  66. J.... O....

    King of angels loves you💖

  67. r.... q....

    This song has helped me with my bipolar disorder... so powerful

  68. S.... S....

    Sin gracia
    El Nacional
    Sin gracia 
    ¿Hay un polvo para borrar esto? 
    ¿Es soluble e insípido? 
    No te puedes imaginar cómo odio a este 
    Graceless
    Lo intento, pero no tengo gracia 
    . No tengo el lado soleado para enfrentar esto 
    . Soy invisible y sin peso. 
    No puedes imaginarte cómo odio a este sin 
    gracia.
    Lo estoy intentando, pero he vuelto a 
    atravesar el cristal. 
    Sólo ven y búscame. 
    Dios ama a todos, no me recuerdes 
    que tomé el medicamento cuando desaparecí. 
    Solo déjame escuchar tu voz, solo déjame escuchar.
    Sin gracia, 
    me di cuenta de cómo ser infiel. 
    Pero sería una forma de desperdiciar esto. 
    No puedes imaginarte cómo odio a este sin 
    gracia.
    Lo estoy intentando, pero he vuelto a 
    atravesar el cristal. 
    Sólo ven y búscame. 
    Dios ama a todos, no me recuerdes 
    que tomé el medicamento y me fui. 
    Solo déjame escuchar tu voz, solo déjame escuchar.
    Todos mis pensamientos sobre ti 
    Balas a través de frutos podridos Se 
    deshacen en las costuras 
    Ahora sé lo que significa morir
    No soy mi color rosado. 
    Dejé mis rosas en mi estante. 
    Toma los salvajes, son mis favoritos. 
    Son los efectos secundarios los que nos salvan.
    Grace 
    Ponga las flores que encuentre en un jarrón. 
    Si está muerta en la mente, iluminará el lugar 
    . No deje que mueran en la vid, es un desperdicio 
    Grace.
    Hay una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas 
    Hay una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas 
    Hay una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas 
    Hay una ciencia para caminar por las ventanas sin ti
    Todos mis pensamientos sobre ti 
    Balas a través de frutos podridos Se 
    deshacen en las costuras 
    Ahora sé lo que significa morir
    No soy mi color rosado. 
    Dejé mis rosas en mi estante. 
    Toma los salvajes, son mis favoritos. 
    Son los efectos secundarios los que nos salvan.
    Gracia 
    poner las flores que usted encuentra en un jarrón 
    Si estás muerto en la mente aclarará la base 
    No dejarlos morir en la vid, que es una pérdida 
    de gracia
    Gracia 
    poner las flores que usted encuentra en un jarrón 
    Si estás muerto en la mente aclarará la base 
    No dejarlos morir en la vid, que es una pérdida 
    de gracia

  73. S.... M....

    New music??

  74. P.... S....

    Sad dad rock?! Hardly. This is the video in which The National show off their silly side. Such a great band!

  75. �.... �....

    "Джона Леннона" выбросили в бассейн. Шутка

  76. B.... C....

    Jump in da pooool

  77. N.... B....

  79. R.... L....

    Anyone else think Matt's voice is a "National" treasure? :)

  80. n.... ....

    Don't know why but it makes me think about Van Gogh :)

  81. T.... F....

    The National show how a wedding party shall be.

  82. R.... G....

    holo george dame un cora :v

    Just come and find me..

  91. K.... E....

    perfect

  92. A.... C....

    Reservoir Dogs??

  93. F.... L....

    This reminds me of Billy Murray's self-loathing swimming pool scene in Rushmore. I guess that's just how awesome these guys are-- I can emotionally connect them to Wes Anderson's off-beat visuals automatically. Not to mention they're a little reminiscent of Morphine. So poignant and gorgeous.

  94. A.... A....

    I mourn the beer like fallen soldiers.

  95. E.... A....

    Clashy beat on a Beachboysy video 🙃

  96. L.... Z....

    New FIFA 19 soundtrack incoming? 🤔

  97. G.... L....

    I feel like there's a missing disclaimer somewhere :D ---
    "No members of The National were hurt in the making of this video"

  98. R.... T....

    Sounds like the 80’s music. 👍🏻

  99. J.... O....

    Sweet. Beautiful.😧
