Of Monsters And Men - Backyard Lyrics






I live a life of love
Hold me down
Hold me down
I live the life of letting go
Under a starlit night
I wrap myself in thin sheet of ice
Up there, the stars are crystallized

Find me in the backyard
Find me in the backyard
In the dark
Find me in the backyard
Find me in the backyard

'Cause you colour me clear,
Now what you, what you waitin' for?
Yeah you colour me clear,
Now what are you waitin' for?

See how my mountains turn
From blue to black
From white to gray
I'm a bird and a broken one
The drops illuminate and evaporate into a neon lake
I'm a beast and the vicious one

Find me in the backyard
Find me in the backyard
In the dark
Find me in the backyard
Find me in the backyard

'Cause you colour me clear,
Now what you, what you waitin' for?
Yeah you colour me clear,
Now what are you waitin' for?
'Cause you colour me clear,
Now what you, what you waitin' for?
Yeah you colour me clear,
Now what are you waitin' for?

  1. N.... ....

    Totally unrelated question, but the symbol at the start of these videos, they seem to mean something, but what..?

  2. c.... ....

    She looks like ash from R6

  3. N.... I....

    This music n Lyrics are scary........

  4. J.... s....

    This is a masterpiece!! This song says a lot about us as humans, relationship, friendship, society, our action to others... omg this song is so big , it takes out the best of us, our most pure feelings.

  5. J.... s....

    This is more than a song, is like code. Its very very deep, in the true human feelings; right where the real you is. Thousands of years, and we still dont know what we are, we are mistery,? The humans are incredible beings. Love is what makes us unique in the entire universe.

  6. R.... I....

    Who is this

  7. J.... ....

    Nike #5 has legs of steel, why not so much better and have them of sand or so??! Sand don´t go far and steel doesn´t either, so Nike 5 is in good company when the legs don´t resist her, and give in EASILY!! Sota has done it again, and trains his own legs on how to run right now, so he can get away from Nike here!! He made her legs into robot legs, together with the other light women´s legs, to insure that it takes some time for us to get older, and it doesn´t happen today, but yesterday, not tomorrow! So worry about something else, Sota is CUTE too, so he might just come and see you all now, for easter or so! Santa Claus get old, but Jesus never rises so much as with Sota here, and WALKS out of his grave so much - more alive than dead!! Be like that, you too, and vote for Sota and Nike now, to go free of this - clammer with the law, that they are ALWAYS in!! Reward your legs, don´t sit on them to much, or with them to much, but now you need to hire a dog walker of the different races!! Be aware of getting the dog back!! Thank you very much!! Cheers Jenny, Nike 1

  8. R.... A....

    Just a thought, in this song it says that the stars are crystallised and in ‘ crystals’ it says cover your ‘crystal eyes” idk exactly what that would mean but yeah

  26. C.... L....

    I've never heard a song that affect my emotions so much? Like Holst's Jupiter makes me so happy but there is nothing that can stop me from feeling absolutely hollow after listening to this. It sounds so good <3

  29. b.... p....

    💜💜

  30. b.... E....

    This videos gonna make me cry isn't it....here we go

  31. J.... H....

    Holy fack.. That was one of the most terrifying thing I’ve ever fucking watch. Find me in the back yard, at night, I’m a beast and something.. DO YOU SEE HER FACE THROUGH THE VIDEO?!? DID YOU JUST LISTEN TO THE WORDS THAT JUST CAME OUT IF HER MOUTH?!?! SHE IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING... LOOK UP ALL THE SYMBOLS AT THE Beginning of all these videos.
    Love her voice so much, but holy father in heaven please help us! Cant even..

  32. A.... I....

    Dean...

  33. C.... 1....

    The beginning sounds very eery

  34. H.... O....

    The first album was with monsters this one is with people hence, of monster and men

  35. C.... C....

    BELA...

  36. A.... V....

    Omg I die every time I hear this

  37. V.... S....

    What a beautiful human being up there😻

  38. C.... ....

    Her nose-ring is very sexy! I love piercings on a lady for some reason.

  39. J.... ....

    The songs are good, with solid studio production, but are tarnished by lyrical repetition: verse 1, chorus, verse 2, chorus, then repeat, repeat, repeat. Had four years to come up with more words, nice, but a bit lazy.

  40. C.... b....

    I FOUND THE SONG!

    I KNEW THAT ONE WORD IN THE CHORUS WAS "CLEAR"!
    I KNEW IT!

  41. E.... P....

    The expression on her face is that of a person who is seeing themself for the first time. Mesmerizing.

  42. o.... ....

    Sizi seviyorum 💟 siz inanilmazsiniz 🌸 I love you , you are Unbelievable 💞

  43. V.... T....

    Damn, this song is like leaving everything behind. And just walk onwards. And if others who think bad of who you are, tell them to find you somewhere else rather than where you are right now, which is the backyard.

  44. L.... F....

    where is her other earring? I've played this song too many times. <3

  45. M.... F....

    This is just... amazing

  46. b.... f....

    you all are incredible
    I wish I found you guys sooner

  47. v.... H....

    Very good music, video no

  48. S.... J....

    I've never gotten this much emotion from a song help me pls

  49. e.... f....

    Broke.my fingers the amount of likes I've given to this amazing band

  50. D.... S....

    Their lyrics always make little enough sense to have profound meaning.

  51. Z.... A....

    There is some magic in there songs that touches your emotions

  52. R.... D....

    all these song make me shivering

  53. W.... C....

    I love the comments section, there seems to be no hate... it's a wonderful supportive place down here

    W.... C....

    Who Cares not always. Most days.

  54. L.... G....

    Eu só penso que OMAM merecia mais reconhecimento e amor. Mas né, a vida que segue comigo panfletando pra toda pessoa que falar.

    L.... G....

    Lucinda Gonçalves simmm penso o mesmo

  55. Y.... H....

    <333333

  56. K.... ....

    My fav 😍

  57. S.... S....

    When is their next album out? I'm waiting very impatiently as I love their music so much. The music and the videos go together beautifully to create a work of art.

  58. B.... M....

    She looks like a friend of mine

  59. A.... W....

    My favorite song on the album, I relate to it so much

  60. J.... W....

    So does anybody have any idea what this song is about ?

  61. L.... T....

    who else is disappointed that they are not actually in your backyard?

  62. M.... ....

    compare to the other actor, this one is less 'burning' and passionate, but she does have a unique aura

  63. C.... M....

    I met this woman, she is in a very abusive relationship. I get worried one day she will come into my dreams and sing me this song so I know where to discover her body. Crazy what songs can mean to some.

  64. G.... 1....

    fantasticos.. ame a Of monstters and men desde la primera cancion que escuche.. ahora son un visio..
    maravillosos videos. melodías que encantan. 😍

  65. L.... ....

    EVERY SINGLE SONG IS WONDERFUL!!!
    I have to buy the CDs! Those are a NEED not a want!!

  66. s.... S....

    Can someone tell me what the meaning of this song is? I'm really curious ( ;´Д`)

    s.... S....

    scott Stanford in my opinion, I believe it's about someone who is accepted, honestly and fully but someone else, it could be a lover or a friend. When Nana(or anyone in particular) sings "because you colour me clear." I believe it's her way of saying someone can see right through her, and see her for who she truly is and is okay worth who she is. The "what are you waiting for." Part is her asking said person, to be in her life, and that if they really want to be apart of her life that they'll "find her in the backyard." Which could a metaphor about a place where you feel most comfortable.

    That's what I get from this song anyways, feel free to interoperate it how you want.

    s.... S....

    the person who understands..oh how he colours me clear. Oh how he brings the best of me, in soft acceptance..and soft warm colors..

  67. D.... A....

    Hell yeah, is that Gill Sans? Fucking love that font...

  68. N.... ....

    In a century, this band is going to be considered a classic just like The Beatles

    N.... ....

    Noanator I sure hope so!

    N.... ....

    Hope so

  69. N.... C....

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  70. H.... ....

    this song reminds me of the aurora in iceland for some reason.. its so calming just like the northen lights
    plz tell me im not the only one who feels the same

  71. P.... M....

    How come they are not winning anything related to music and art left and right. Brilliant and genius...

  72. C.... M....

    These videos are actually the most inspirational things.

    C.... M....

    Connor Macfarlane I agree. The videos show normal people of all kinds, ages, shapes, and sizes.

  73. I.... ....

    Fight me in the backyard :|

  74. D.... E....

    Who is the person lip syncing because it's not Nanna

  75. G.... C....

    This song is amazing. I get chills every time I listen to it; but then again, I get chills from all of OMAM's music. Incredible <3

    Also this was uploaded on my birthday ^u^

  76. I.... B....

  85. A.... ....

    What other OM&M video has the girl in the vid been in? She looks familiar. Pretty sure she was in another of OM&M's vids.

  86. M.... A....

    I like how only one of her ears has an earring :)) <3

  87. L.... S....

    I really love these lyrics videos. It's like they want their fans to enjoy it, to see the emotions, so they can relate to it better and understand it more clearly.
