Of Monsters And Men - Phantom Lyrics






With all this time wasted and all this time gone
You are still waitin' on me
And every time you leave the house remember you're not safe
But you are hardly ever

And all those times that I could swear I heard you speak
You spoke in such a low voice
Of how if you could choose you would choose not to feel
'Cause you are hardly ever happy

And sometimes I find myself standing in the stairs
With eyes so blank and unsure
Realizing this is not where I want to be
And not where I want to go

And I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to disagree
But I feel that you had failed to see
In order to love you have to be all you can be
And mostly, you have to love yourself

'Cause with all this time wasted and all this time gone
You are still waitin' on me
Oh, but if I could choose, I would choose not to feel
'Cause I am hardly ever happy
I am hardly ever happy, yeah

    Best song ever!

  2. x.... ....

    so, i was listening to this song earlier, with headphones, and all of a sudden my dog came over and immediately sat by my feet. believe it or not this song has always reminded me of my dog. i love her so much <3

  3. S.... -....

    3 albums later, around 9 years, and this is still their best song. How did it not get into any album?!

  4. R.... W....

    This song is a blessing

  5. J.... M....

    this reminds me of when i went on a trip to south carilno to see the solar eclipse

  6. P.... 6....

    Omg this stuff is OLD
    WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD IT YET

  7. W.... V....

    i find it funny when i type this song on youtube the automatic search comes up with Phantom of the Opera

    W.... V....

    +William Vernon same

  8. b.... ....

    years ago!!! i remember listening to this song in my bedroom waiting for my mates to come round for drink games etc... it was in the evening and  i know they would hate this song but i loved it... so i played it about 30mins before they arrived, had a little drink on my own looking out my window just closing my eyes thinking about the world, i dunno why but something felt special about that...moments like that can never be relived in the same view... :(((

  9. L.... ....

    Iv been listening to OMAM for 6 years but never heard they made Phantom before

  10. V.... S....

    there is no lyrics?! where are the lyrics????? i speak spanish and i'd love to see them

    V.... S....

    Veronica Segura description

  11. T.... y....

    how come I've never heard this until now😢

  12. J.... G....

    "In order to love, you have to love yourself."
    :)

  13. M.... ....

    This one has a special place in my heart.

    M.... ....

    Same ;-;

  14. c.... ....

    This is so different to their usual style (even the first album)

  15. k.... ....

    oh my goddddddd i thought i knew all their songs
    there are so manyyyyy
    :D yesssss i love them xD

  16. K.... S....

    They should do a cover of this that sounds more like the new album, not because i don't like this i just think other people who don't know of it would like it.

  17. B.... J....

    Good song :)

  18. A.... W....

    Ugg, where can I find this for download?? Gorgeous.

  19. G.... I....

    This song makes me feel emotions I can't explain, it's so beautiful.

    G.... I....

    I think of my brother, he has happiness issues and I love him as my brother.. this is how I feel towards him..

  20. s.... a....

    I think that everyone finds themselves 'standing in that step' where they don't really know how they ended up where they did in life and don;t like where they are, I can say the same for myself, that, and that I am hardly ever happy. I never really thought of where I wanted to be at this age, but I would be disappointed to find that I have not done much if I found out about myself five years ago.

  21. j.... b....

    Why is there a pic of a moose

    j.... b....

    +johnny bravo You'll know when you're older

    j.... b....

    This comment confuses me so much...

  22. Z.... W....

    If they don't release this song I'm going to cry even harder than when I first heard this song

  23. S.... R....

    I thought I had heard all of Of Monster And Mens songs... didnt even know this existed. I think I have heard them all now.

    S.... R....

    +Saskia Robinson I thought I had heard all their songs too until I realized that they released songs that weren't on an album. i know there's this one and a few others I've heard plus their 2 cover songs. i feel like I've heard all their songs now, but if there's more out there I'd be more than happy to listen to them.

    PS - You like twenty one pilots and OMAM we'd probably be good friends

    S.... R....

    Secret songs: Sugar in a bowl, a boy and a bird, hawaii, happy song, blueberry mountain, phantom, and Nana Bryndis Hilmarsdottir - Josie

    S.... R....

    OMAM also did a cover of the song Eleanor Rigby.

    S.... R....

    david brown I love twenty one pilots and OMAM

  24. M.... V....

    This song makes my cry... But doesn't matter because is so fucking perfect. xD

  25. F.... F....

    This song reminds me of You Already Know by Bombay Bicycle Club. Same kind of mellow, calming music. I love it. :)

  26. A.... L....

    Who's the second female singer in this video?

    A.... L....

    It's the same singer.

    A.... L....

    @The Kozalutem At about 2:48 I hear a second female singer. Either that or Nanna is singing a duet with herself. 

    A.... L....

    @August Lambert they edit that

    A.... L....

    +August Lambert its probably the trumpet player

  27. b.... t....

    Of monsters and men has the greatest f*cking songs ever ;)

    b.... t....

    +Emilee The dragoness MLG Totally!

    b.... t....

    Definitely

    b.... t....

    Ok they do but there was no need for that word...

  28. s.... ....

    Thought my doorbell rang at 1:55 ....

  29. C.... L....

    Like the song! Its a bit more mellow than some of theyre older stuff but still awesome! Love this band!

  30. s.... Y....

    Beautiful... Absolutely

  31. N.... A....

    That picture was hanging on the walls in my old physics classroom.. it has allways been there, but I only just noticed it in my very last lesson in that classroom ever...

  32. M.... Z....

    Si pudiera elegir elegiría no sentir, 
    porque casi nunca estoy feliz… casi nunca soy feliz.

  33. L.... ....

    I love this band so damn much!

  34. T.... ....

    Someone can tell me what kind of genre is this please? Thanks :3 i love this kind of music *-* it relax the soul :3 its so beautifull!

    T.... ....

    It's kind of folk, but Of Monsters and Men prefer not to assign genre names to their music.

    T.... ....

    people usually classify it as indie folk, you can find a lot of similar artists in that genre.

    T.... ....

    They're Icelandic, so are Björk and Sigur Ròs and they all have the same lovely feeling.. Just so you know~

    T.... ....

    Indie Folk

  35. J.... M....

    I love the moose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So beuatiful.(both song and moose)

  36. h.... w....

    shaw them in dubai they are amazing 

  37. S.... P....

    What does the moose say?

    S.... P....

    MOOOOOWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNWNWNNWWW (a bit like a cow on steroids). :)

    S.... P....

    So get this!

  38. M.... K....

    i think this band should be more wider known

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

    True that, Grace. Maria, however sad it makes you feel to not do the thing you love is directly proportional to the amount of regret you will have your whole life. When your parents die and your skin ages, what will you have left but abandoned dreams and skills? Not to mention if you abandon it for a job you have to work at every day thinking about this your entire life. Dramatic, but life is often so after years and years go by and erase a person's objectivity. 

  40. K.... ....

    what album is this from? i cant find it in MHIAN

    K.... ....

    @***** Its not in an album, they only have one. I wish this was on an album though.

    K.... ....

    i think its from a demo that the band did, perhaps it'll be on their next album?

    K.... ....

    @Zak Rahman Its not a demo, its the first song they played as Of Monsters And Men at Músíktilraunir, a battle of the bands competition in Iceland. They won the competition with this song.

    K.... ....

    Zak Rahman  They said it'll never be on an album :(

  41. M.... M....

    ELIJAH M! THATS LIKE ELIJAH MIKAELSON!!!!!

  42. �.... ....

    Why are you people so fucking stupid.

  43. d.... s....

    envy me at this moment, im a fan and hearing this for the first time

  44. J.... F....

    of monsters of men is from iceland

  45. m.... d....

    this is a really good song

  46. d.... l....

    This is just Nanna. This was in her Songbird days before Monsters

    d.... l....

    The band preformed this song together :)

  47. D.... N....

    Why wasn't this song on their album "My Head Is An Animal"?

  48. M.... H....

    Thanks! :) I actually just put a cover of this song on YouTube... :)

    M.... H....

    I can't seem to find it. Has it disappeared over the last 5 years?

  49. C.... W....

    If you tell yourself never it will never happen. If you want it to happen you have to believe in yourself that you can be amazing!

  50. k.... ....

    is, is that you jarpad?

  51. k.... ....

    is, is that you jarpad?

  52. G.... C....

    No. Just no. Don't talk yourself out of it. If you love something, go for it. It doesn't matter whether it's realistic or not. I guarantee you you'll be a better person from having at least tried. Plus you're 14. You have a lot more time to practice and improve your musicianship. Maybe you'll be the next person everyone says is "SOO AMAZING." I know it's cliché, but there's a reason everyone says to go for your dreams. (Yaaay for lecturing strangers!)

  53. M.... H....

    Now I am sad...I'm a singer-songwriter, 14 years old, making an album, and Nanna is just SO amazing, and I love performing, but it is so unrealistic to make a career out of it... My parents don't even think much of it. :/ There is no way I can be as good as her. :(
    All well. Only amazing people can do it, and NANNA IS SOO AMAZING.

  54. R.... ....

    This is the song from their musiktilraunir performance! You know? The battle of bands type thing that got them where they are!

  55. T.... ....

    That incredible guitar riff alone taught me what beauty can be. This song is too wonderful for words, however, it's wonderful enough for tears.

  56. A.... H....

    This song refuses to leave my head.

  57. M.... J....

    I wanna ride that beautiful creature though an aspen forest.

  58. c.... A....

    Muito boa essa música,faz-me lembrar de bons tempos!!!

  59. K.... B....

    they only have one album out and this isn't on it

  60. K.... S....

    can somebody tell me where i can download this song

  61. A.... W....

    this is the best song and that moose DAMN i love that moose :3 haha this song kinda explains me lol its amazing!!

  62. h.... ....

    Not a fan of them (yet) but this song is one of the most beautiful ever... and the top comments are completely irrelevant to it - makes sense.

  63. A.... ....

    I like this band, but I have to admit, I came here for the moose.

  64. M.... ....

    Was this ever releason on any album or is there really no way to buy it?

  65. B.... G....

    I know what you mean, Music was going down hill untill these guys turned up. There just so perfect and their music is truly beautiful.

  66. B.... G....

    Yeah, I do love this one but its not as upbeat as the others, it's in a completley differents style to moutian sound.

  67. D.... ....

    The moose is from Mars and the band is from Never Never Land. A chicken told me so.

  68. H.... ....

    nice try,

    not

  69. B.... ....

    Lovely, going to listen to more. Hope I can get the CD here in South Africa.

  70. h.... g....

    WOW. THE best song. moose is awesome !!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111111111111

  71. h.... g....

    IKR IKR IKR IKR!!!!

  72. f.... ....

    I know I am.

  73. R.... ....

    This is a good song but I can see why it isn't as big as Little Talks or even Sloom.

  74. S.... G....

    Anyone else findng huge entertainment in this debate/argument on here that no longer makes any sense? Marvelous, quite a show I say.

  75. S.... G....

    You sir, are a funny fucker. (No Sarcasm intended)

  76. S.... B....

    I agree with Elliot that these guys and gals are trailblazers. I am nearly 40 and thought that good music died with hair bands and 80's pop. This band however has turned me on to new music and got me into Mumford, Lumineers, etc. Monster's song King and Lionheart is absolutely awesomely haunting. I apologize if this is too many verbs and adjectives for the fucktard who thought that you said they were from Canada.

  77. E.... S....

    Dude one you are so fail, you didnt even realize what I "confused"
    first if you look I didn't reply to a comment with the word tour, I commented about the moose bias, and being Canadian. I raged at the OMAM spellers and the people who are stating the obvious. They Are not from Canada. Learn to read. I said nothing in regards to a sentence about band touring. You might be thinking of Ali Matecki... you failed so big that your penis actually got smaller. mmm k goo day

  78. J.... P....

    I bet the actual band read this and is laughing at you.

  79. o.... ....

    So I generally don't feed the trolls, because I don't know what smells worst their breath or their gas, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I feel stupider having tried to understand and the hippie vibe in the comments is gone.

  80. h.... g....

    definitely.

  81. h.... g....

    This is so beautiful this has GOTTA be on their next album!!! ALSO: Imagine THE Of Monsters And Men performing at your local performing arts center, I WOULD BE SO EXITED this band is freaking awesome!

  82. K.... D....

    This NEEDS to be on their next album

  83. K.... D....

    I don't think anyone really deserves to be shot, but if we're voting... my vote goes to those who use the word "retarded" as an insult.

  84. P.... ....

    can somenoe please tell me the chords?

  85. i.... ....

    i haven't heard of this song by them yet, thanks for uploading it, its awsome, as always of, of monsters and men :D

  86. o.... ....

    Thank you for being dumb enough for confusing a sentence band touring in Canada for the band being Canadian, and also bravely stating what many have said before. Real trailblazer you are. You are going places kid.

  87. k.... ....

    Dude what is your problem?Grow the Hell up for 1 2shut up and listen to music

  88. F.... D....

    This guy is messed up.

  89. d.... s....

    Dude, what the fuck is your problem?

  90. E.... S....

    Please shoot people who type or say OMAM.. Lazy retarded youth.

  91. E.... S....

    They are from Iceland, started the band in Iceland, Iceland is not Canada... You're really like... not that stupid, correct?

  92. E.... S....

    Also this band is from ICELAND - WHICH IS NOT CANADA.

  93. E.... S....

    You really need to learn how to type in a manner which doesn't make you come off as a retarded hipster 11yo who's parents don't value you "learning time" ^__^ - OMAM IOC ? Just die in your sleep pls :)

  94. a.... r....

    I read your comment and lol'd so hard xD

  95. K.... P....

    OMAM fans are the best :) And I loc
    Ve the moose, but being Canadian i might be Biased...

  96. V.... M....

    They aren't Of Monsters and Men, but Songbird,Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdottir's solo project before to found Of Monsters and Men
