Of Monsters And Men - Vulture, Vulture Lyrics






He lives in the darkness, he's calling my name
He's keeping me up, keeping me up
I'm wide awake
He feeds on my ego, he swallows my pain
So figure it out, figure it out
Stay awake

This is all I know
And I can feel it grow
I'm restless, oh I'm restless
It's hard for me to breathe
When all I do is feel so heartless
Am I heartless

Can I keep it up
Still got that feeling
I don't know about these heavy hands
Well maybe they can pull me up
Still got that feeling
I don't know about these heavy hands
Cause lately I feel like a desert island

I had a vision of pillars of sand
It's keeping me up, keeping me up
And I bend
Break me in two so we can both dance
We'll figure it out, figure it out
Hand in hand

This is all I know
And I can feel it grow
I'm restless, oh I'm restless
It's hard for me to breathe
When all I do is feel so heartless
Am I heartless

Can I keep it up
Still got that feeling
I don't know about these heavy hands
Well maybe they can pull me up
Still got that feeling
I don't know about these heavy hands
Cause lately I feel like a desert island
Still got that feeling
Lately I feel like a desert island
Still got that feeling

I don't know about these heavy hands
Well maybe they can pull me up
Still got that feeling
I don't know about these heavy hands
Cause lately I feel like a desert island

Of Monsters And Men Vulture, Vulture Comments
  1. Z.... A....

    I've given the entire album many listens, and it still feels like a shadow of their former works

    Except this song. This song feels like it meshes with their old works. Start to finish the rhythm sparks so much energy.

  2. a.... m....

    perfeito!

  3. 7.... ....

    Troppo bella

  4. L.... Y....

    Heavy Phil Collins vibes from this ngl.

  5. G.... G....

    I’m rilly viving with this song! 👍🏿

  6. f.... ....

    It's definitely a good song with strong lyrics. It's on the line of being over produced. but over all pretty good song.

  7. N.... N....

    “Break me in two- so we can both dance.
    Figure it out, figure it out,
    hand in hand.”
    My favorite part 🙂

    N.... N....

    Eleanore Herman mine too

  8. V.... T....

    I can't wait to go on a big drive and blast this new album on my headphones and look through the window! I listened to it yesterday and I spent an hour or so just staring the four walls of my room and the window outside and at some point, I dance a bit. I really like the new vibe contrary to many beliefs.

  9. M.... S....

    LOVE THE NEW SOUND. IT WOULD GET OLD IF THEY SOUNDED THE SAME. RELAX AND GIVE IT A TRY.

  10. A.... A....

    Gente vcs tem uma influencia muito grande na minha vida ❤ muito obrigado por tudo!! Que energia boa 💙

  11. A.... V....

    This new album is unusual, but I really do love this song.

  12. F.... N....

    yes, a good monsters song.

  13. L.... C....

    best song of the album. please come to lollapalooza 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

  14. n.... p....

    2:22 woahhh. But the whole thing is beautiful.

  15. A.... T....

    This album is about evolving. They are exploring themselves in ways that are unknown for most of us. I think that this song along with Wild Roses are the best in the album and also I love the whole thing. Stop complaining about evolution!
    Love from Colombia.

    A.... T....

    gracias por entender que han crecido...merecen crecer y no solo estar encasillados en un solo sonido...my head is an animal hice click con cada cancion, beneath the skin.....solo con unas dos o tres....pero ahora hize click con todas y este es mi favorito de ellos...tienen un gran sonido que define su estilo de indie rock sin dejar su sonido original

  16. L.... ....

    This is in my opinion the best song of the album. I really love it!

  17. c.... h....

    I love the album

  18. J.... A....

    Of monsters and men é a minha religião😍

  19. W.... W....

    this song reminds me of brambleclaw

    W.... W....

    Wishflare Warrior bramble is one of my favorites in the books and it does remind me of him

  20. M.... ....

    by far my favorite ❤️

  21. M.... R....

    The album is just wow <3. I can't describe how I feel identified with their lyrics and music...

  22. F.... ....

    This is definitely one of my favorite songs of all time!
    It's stuck in my head all the time (that's a good thing)
    I will literally dance and sing to this in public it's so good.

  23. A.... K....

    I saw people complaining that they changed and i know is not the same icelandic indie folk sound we all knew so well! But this album made realized i grew up with them, first album is this magic world when i thought that everything can happen, the second album was about what is in my head and this one shows me I'm all of that and above that I'm funny wild and fever dreaming girl

  24. J.... E....

    Good song. Without voice effects this album would have been 3 times better.

  25. M.... O....

    Best song of the album, I hope it gets a music video

  26. T.... F....

    When are you touring Australia?

  27. K.... S....

    this whole album is amazing!!

  28. Z.... A....

    I think this is the only song off the new album that still has a bit of that OMAM vibe
    But the rest of the album is just... boring and empty feeling.

    Oh well. Back to Beneath the Skin I go

  29. D.... M....

    Yet another great album! Love this and every track! Power to the circle!

  30. N.... �....

    another amazing song. wow especially the end

  31. j.... ....

    Their sound has changed a bit in this album, but if I were to name one that felt in tune a bit with their old, this one has a sort of vibe like the more energetic end of their older sounds. A couple of them really have some slight resemblance (This gives me a sort of vibe of Wolves without Teeth, Under the Dome follows a relaxed subverted flow as does Backyard), or reminder that its still the same band we love, and even their more distant sounds are still great. Its good to see the band release a new album after some wait.

    j.... ....

    Dude! What about Stuck in gravity? I think that reminds me a bit slow and steady

  32. M.... F....

    Not a good album overall, but this song soars.

    M.... F....

    Aye. I see people talking about evolving, and for the most part this album felt like it devolved, and lost a lot of its soul and roots

    Except this song. It feels fantastic. My only complaint about it is how criminally short it is.

  33. N.... R....

    Always afraid a great band is going to sell out..the first track had me worried..then from the second track on..it's a evolution of a truly remarkable band..love you guy's ..stay true to yourselves and you can never falter...

    N.... R....

    Oddly, the second track is the only one I still don't like. It seems like everyone has at least slightly mixed feelings about this album, but everyone likes and dislikes different songs in particular. I love this one, though!

    N.... R....

    @katraylor yeah second one is the only one ive actually disliked so far

  34. E.... t....

    Vulture vulture? "He swallows my pain"? "I am a vulture that feeds on pain"? Trench reference anyone? Anyway I love this album so much!<33

    E.... t....

    Yes! I wasnt the only one who thought of this! 😃

    E.... t....

    Ha, I thought I was the only one! ||-//

    E.... t....

    Omg yes I'm like "Did Tyler secretly write this?"

    E.... t....

    Speaking of Trench, the way this album uses motifs throughout strongly reminds me of Masterpieces Theatre.

  35. G.... e....

    Great song! Hello from 🇧🇷

  36. B.... D....

    Sem defeitos

  37. E.... ....

    I love this one so much. I'm so happy.

  38. M.... C....

    omg one of the best songs so far to me

  39. P.... ....

    He lives in the darkness
    He's calling my name
    He's keeping me up, keeping me up
    I'm wide awake
    He feeds on my ego
    He swallows my pain
    So figure it out, figure it out
    Stay away

    This is all I know
    And I can feel it grow
    I'm restless, oh, I'm restless
    It's hard for me to breathe
    When all I do is feel so heartless
    Am I heartless?

    Can't ever keep it up
    Still got that feeling
    I don't know about these heavy hands, well maybe
    They can pull me up
    Still got that feeling
    I don't know about these heavy hands
    'Cause lately I feel like a desert island, oh oh

    I had a vision of pillars of sand
    It's keeping me up, keeping me up, and I bend
    Break me in two so we can both dance
    Figure it out, figure it out
    Hand in hand

    This is all I know

    They can pull me up
    Still got that feeling
    I don't know about these heavy hands
    'Cause lately I feel like a desert island, oh oh

    (Still got that feeling)
    Yeah, lately I feel like a desert island
    (Oh, oh)
    Still got that feeling

    I don't know about these heavy hands, well maybe
    They can pull me up
    Still got that feeling
    I don't know about these heavy hands
    'Cause lately I feel like a desert island
    (Oh, oh)

  44. S.... S....

    🇧🇷

  45. G.... P....

    Can someone understand what they say in this verse "I'm (?) this"?

    G.... P....

    I'm having a hard time understanding them in any of their songs. I have to go and find the lyrics online.

    G.... P....

    It's not "I'm ___ this", it would be "I'm restless" - hope this helps

    G.... P....

    Thanks. It relly helps

    G.... P....

    @Drew Smith I have this problem with most songs I hear, not only theirs, since I'm not a native english speaker

    G.... P....

    @Giovana P. Yeah makes sense.

  46. Y.... A....

    You are wonderful. Brazil awaits you

    Y.... A....

    🇧🇷

  47. C.... E....

    Some of these songs sound like funky Russian ‘70’s hip hop songs

    C.... E....

    I've never listened to that kind of music. Sounds dope though! 😎

    C.... E....

    i dont remember russian songs like this

    C.... E....

    unixoid33 😂😂

    C.... E....

    Mac Sam I don’t really think it exists exactly that way anyway
    Try listening to Sergey Lazarev’s old songs
