Placebo - The Movie On Your Eyelids Lyrics






I always watch you when you're dreaming
Because I know it's not of me
I smoke a dozen cancer sticks
Imagine there are two or three ways
To make you love me
And not dream of someone else
Become the movie on your eyelids

The reflection of yourself
The reflection of yourself

I cry when I listen to you breathing
Because I know there's nothing else
The conscious of that crushing feeling
To know there's no connection left
That we both go through the motions
That we're both living somewhere else
That the movie on your eyelids
Is no reflection of myself
Is no reflection of myself
Is no reflection of myself

I wanna be, I wanna be your movie...
I wanna be, I wanna be your movie...

Why can't you be me?
Why can't you be me?
Why can't you be me?
Why can't you be me?
Be me, be me, be me...

    does love naturally drift towards us, or must we embark on the journey of finding it ourselves?

  23. G.... A....

    me hago la película con este tema hermoso

  24. l.... h....

    it's not even a song actually, not in a sense that placebo songs usually are
    just music and poetry each separately though completing one another
    and each heartbreakingly beautiful

  25. A.... ....

    Such a quiet song and so beautiful, especially the end......

  26. B.... S....

    ǝɔıu

    his voice is beautiful

    This was a poor choice after just getting dumped after a 5 year relationship... while still being in love with her...

    P.... J....

    Why can't you be me?

    H.... S....

  32. A.... ....

    I always watch you when you're dreaming
    Because I know it's not of me
    I smoke a dozen cancer sticks
    Imagine there are two or three ways
    To make you love me
    And not dream of someone else
    Become the movie on your eyelids

    The reflection of yourself
    The reflection of yourself

    I cry when I listen to you breathing
    Because I know there's nothing else
    The conscious of that crushing feeling
    To know there's no connection left
    That we both go through the motions
    That we're both living somewhere else
    That the movie on your eyelids
    Is no reflection of myself
    Is no reflection of myself
    Is no reflection of myself

    I wanna be, I wanna be your movie...

  40. J.... R....

    Um amor chamado Placebo s2

  41. C.... ....

    Pure nostalgia.

  42. D.... C....

    where did this track appear in their discography?

    D.... C....

    @Dokka Chapman Unworthy? Why?

    D.... C....

    It must be a recent track as I don't have it. I kinda lost faith in them after Battle for the Sun..... must have been the kicking out of Steve.

    D.... C....

    @Dokka Chapman Unworthy?? I actually really enjoy BFTS, Devil in the Details is one of their best ever songs.

    D.... C....

    song appears on the battle for the sun box set

    D.... C....

    no wonder I didn't know it. Battle for the sun was the only album by them I actually sold on, it was terrible.

  43. C.... S....

    aaah It kills me <3

  44. A.... P....

    In a loop with this song.

  45. i.... ....

    cancer sticks

  46. J.... J....

    This is the most moving Placebo's song...breathtaking, the lyrics, the music....pure perfection...

  47. K.... B....

    I love this. Brian's voice uses more breathy sensuality than Marilyn Monroe. It is magical.

  48. �.... ....

    You will never watch me cry. I hate you so much! <3

  49. S.... ....

    This is now my life's theme.

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

    cuando mueres por estar con esa persona! pero sabes que no seras ni eres correspondido... me llena de tristeza y esperanza a la vez...I WANNA BE YOUR MOVIE!

  51. H.... R....

    this is just perfection, the reflection of brians soul, how he manages to transform such sadness in perfection, PERFECTION.

  52. L.... ....

    this song - it feels like the air, but on the other hand it clogs the lungs with how true the lyrics are.

  53. M.... ....

    Cold and haunting...

  54. T.... F....

    i wanna be, i wanna be your movie

  55. T.... F....

    i cry when i listen to you breathing, because i know there's nothing else that conjurs up that crushing feeling

  56. h.... ....

    He needs to start a drum band with Ziggy Starrdust, with Brian Ferry on clarinet, and a blow-up doll on the triangle. Just sayin'.

  57. A.... G....

    5 years and......is not easy
