Obel, Agnes - Words Are Dead Lyrics

Les mots sont morts

Je veux t'acheter des roses
Parce que les mots sont morts,
Suis dans l'aveuglement
Sur la pointe de la flèche
Parce que les mots sont morts
Et tu le sais
Ouais, les mots sont morts
Abaisse-les

Je savais pas si tu pouvais
Refuser d'accepter les morts
Les laisser dans le silence
Sur leur lit moisi
Oh je suis engourdie
Et par dessus
Leur royaume arrive
Abaisse-moi

Ils sont morts, ils sont morts
Oh, ne pleure pas pour moi,
Oh, ne pleure pas pour moi,
Oh, ne pleure pas pour moi,
Oh, surtout, ne pleure pas pour moi,

Pose-les sur le sol
Pose-les sur le sol

Predivan glas za dušu.

Love forever and ever from Czech Republic... from Prague <3

Who's ready for "Myopia" on february 21st here 🔥💗 ?

Agnes Obel ft Lana del Rey would be perfect 🤤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

warming heart songs

This song specifically reached a piece of me that I've been yearning to discover once again. To be imprisoned by my own thoughts constantly, it genuinely is an overwhelming emotion to feel my spirit become invigorated, to sense my mind move out of the calignous numb channel it’s been stuck in for a while. Wow I am so eternally grateful to just be able to experience one of life's blessings of hearing, but to actually listen to such moving music is breathtaking. Much obliged to you Agnes for reigniting the warmth and light in me with your music, you truly deserve everlasting success and happiness.

Wunderbar.

still listening in 19.

Agnes' music is magical- there are times that I play her nonstop for days. Her music fills the air and the space in which it's played with peace, leaving room for nothing else.

Oh my. I don't even know what to say

is she the dead ? didn't get the story behind it though amazing song <3

The words are the ones that are dead. She's holding a funeral for them hence "lower them down." It's basically saying I'm tired of your excuses(assuming she's referring to her lover.)

A soft glimmer of light shining through dark and threatful thunderclouds.

Sublime!

1:46 ❤❤❤

words are dead to them that don't hear them ...words are dead until you speak them to the ears that hears them wouldn't you say ?

Wish have somebody to listen this together and watch the night over us...

Uplifting and wonderful.

The most beautiful experiences are brought to me by your music. Thank You for being my companion during my lonely pain.

How come cardi B is more popular than this lady? O_o such awesome pieces of art she's created.

People prefer Cardi, sadly

I love that "mmmmm mmmm mmmm" with my eyes closed

Brazil❤

Agnes Obel you have made the best music I have heard the last 5 years, maybe more. I can't find a better word than "beautiful". Thank you!

Belle chanson belle voix

Everything is better than Adell, this is better than everything!!!!

Heartbreaking...

she singing like mouth full of noodles

Timely for our broken world

Stella Rothe Spot on. I think people are missing the point that shes talking about how messed up things are in the world today. The lies are proclaimed loudly and as matter of fact. Only when you realize this do you feel the emotion and sadness captured in this sad, beautiful song.

@J C agreed. All talk and no action, making the words meaningless. A news channel played this during coverage of a school shooting, and it just broke me.

GOD! Agnes Obel, this melts me. It's too powerful, too beautiful, too amazing! When I listen to this song, I get overwhelmed. It's so beautiful. I simply adore it! BRAVO!!!!! Exceptional!

Perhaps her most beautiful song... among so many

love your music agnes great work

voice like a Angel....

Que dire...💖💖💖

This song reminds me of the show Sherlock...

Oh really? Id be interested in knowing why if you dont mind

Listening to the words "Oh Don't cry for me" strikes a chord inside of me everytime and when at 2:32 she switches to "Oh don't you cry for me" I get shivers all over my body. Always.

she's blessed, my friend said. and i agreed, i still do.

Agnes -You're THE BEST ! ;) <3
You know it ;** ;)

Çok etkileyici sanat buna denıyor herhalde

such feelings

I wanna buy you roses
'Cause the words are dead,
Follow in the blindness
On the arrow head
'Cause the words are dead
And you know it
Yeah the words are dead
Lower them down

Didn't know if you could
Deny the dead,
Leaving them in silence
On their moldy bed
Oh I am numb
And over
Their kingdom come
Lower me down

They are dead, they are dead
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't you cry for me

Lower them down in the ground
Lower them down in the ground

Come to Vancouver Canada!

Well well si beautiful

very beautiful I have to buy this album :)

So haunting,but in a kind of flying,soaring,lilting bitter-sweet way...Agnes is such a great musician.

beautiful and haunting voice. Great lyrics. I love her lower range, so deep and rich.

Oh,nobody cries for me ..

Aydan Antikacı she says "oh don't cry for me."

MAGNIFIQUE 👏 👏 👏 😍

Favourite...

Agnes has a voice that would melt the coldest of hearts .

Oh, my.... such a beautiful song... i feel...happy.... so happy to have heard this

What??? I have listened to this many times before with much enjoyment but this is the first time I have noticed such damaged audio..! Hmm, maybe this is my connection? AVG said I was under threat and all is good now, so where did this attack come from..?? What is 'hanging around' Utube hoping to cause mischief..?

I wanna buy you roses cause the words are dead..

Büşra Ünsal exactly )

Buralarda Türk görmek umut verici :)

j adore les musique que tu fait elle sont relaxente,quand je les écoute je pense a la nature alors continue a en faire,t es super

if words are dead why is she using them

unosze sie..♥

This song is realy relaxed.

piano tutorial please...

piano tutorial please...

I like for a time to drink and play this and other song of agnes, she is just amazing.

This broad is good.

I beg your pardon!?!

kocham Twój styl jest idealny <3
jak dla mnie nowatorski ,no po prostu wirtuozeria ..
oczarowujesz dźwiękami ,zabierasz nimi w piękny, lepszy świat :-) ciepły i subtelny
ale to i tak nie wyrazi tego co się czuje słuchając tego utworu ponieważ "słowa są martwe" zwykle za ciasne by wyrazić uczucia .

+Agata K. Nie jest to polska artystka wiec nawet jesli zobaczyla twoj komentarz to nie zrozumiala :)

od czego jest tłumacz ;) a ja nie umiem napisać to w tej samej formie przekładając na angielski ;>

binkowskyy I tak nie zobaczy tego komentarza, bo to nie ona prowadzi kanał :)

2:12 How do you expect me to not cry for you if you sing like that, Miss Obel? :' (

un ange !

the starting sounds like Adele's someone like you ? or is it just me ?

+Prodipto Majumder No it just you X)

Congratulations! Two great albums! Philarmonics and Aventine!

such a great song...I wanna cover this song..!

this song is better than adelle's "Hello"

SwagiYo and it's better than your spelling of "Adele"

You're god damn right.

SwagiYo Adal is boring as hell!

Dont even compare...

It's subjective. But yeah it's also better than Suedes entire career and not as good as something it's not as good as. Point being it doesn't mean it is better or worse per se just because one person thinks it is. It's also better than washing dishes and diphtheria. So who gives a fuck. Better? Worse? Elevate yourself. There's good in all and room to grow in all. Art only points to Truth but isn't Truth itself. 💜

It's just like flying...or running ourself thought. seems like funeral. Silence and beautiful.

Quando ha iniziato a cantare mi sono ritrovata con il cuore nello stomaco.
grazie

definitely agree with you @  Lost & Found Music :] <3

You are sooo pleasant on the ears and your piano skills! Love it!

Driving during the sunset through the mountains in california, Agnes Obel´s album playing, That is how life should be experienced. Music, Nature, Friends

I did the same, but through the mountains of Norway instead. Magnificent.

walking near the railroad in the forest in Georgia

Lost & Found Music Need a comrade in your trip?

Lost & Found Music agreed three years later

I know just how you feel. A peaceful freedom.

It's incredibly heartbreaking in the most beautiful way... 

Forty thumbs up!

if i could id give you forty my friend, quite a beautiful song :)

What do you think it means?

beautiful

i love it, great song x

This is so beautiful. I'm stunned.

beautiful 

Wonderful song!
What is it that you say in the lyrics, almost whispering, in between 'They are dead' and 'Oh, don't cry for me'?

I am very confused by the lyric booklet I have (as I have the album) because there is no lyric for that line! It sounds as though she says "No matter where you are" but I really am unsure! There are quite a few blatant errors in the book, but the songs are so brilliantly mystical, I almost don't want to know the lyrics!

This is the lyrics :

I wanna buy you roses
'Cause the words are dead,
Follow in the blindness
On the arrow head
'Cause the words are dead
And you know it
Yeah the words are dead
Lower them down

Didn't know if you could
Deny the dead,
Leaving them in silence
On their moldy bed
Oh I am numb
And over
Their kingdom come
Lower me down

They are dead, they are dead
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't cry for me,
Oh, don't you cry for me

Lower them down in the ground
Lower them down in the ground

:) I love you
