Sonata Arctica - X Marks The Spot Lyrics






You're a man of impeccable taste
And you know when the X marks the spot

We all need a map for the trail of your thought
Where to go, well, the X marks the spot

You seem to have a misgiving
Hell yeah, you make a living
Don't add bricks to what we're heaving
We would so much
Rather the enjoy beach, beer and a fire

You think something somewhere
Has a copyright for the world
And you've signed where the X marks the spot

You join a cult, fill the void that you've got
Deep within where the X marks the spot

There you stand n' talk and holler
How dark are all your colors
When you paint another sunrise
You leave out the sun

Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away...

How well do you know those you're calling your own?
I mean... come on dude!

Your starving soul in your house of skin and bone
You're an island, the X marks the spot

There you stand n' talk and holler
How dark are all your colors
When you paint another sunrise
You leave out the sun

Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away...

You're a circus, but where is the clown
There's no map, still the X marks the spot

There you stand n' talk and holler
How dark are all your colors
When you paint another sunrise
You leave out the sun

Birds like you fly straight to heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float down
Into the night with senior John Barleycorn

Heaven, heaven
Or they slowly float away...

Sonata Arctica X Marks The Spot Comments
  1. K.... P....

    They are an underrated band! They are the best of all the best

  2. K.... F....

    This is a really Underrated album.

    K.... F....

    While I agree with the overall album being underrated, this song is God-awful. There should be 0 talking in any of their songs with a vocalist as talented as Tony. I'd normally leave it at that, but they seem to be very proud of this song given that it's becoming more and more of a live staple. It's atrocious enough in the studio, but live in concert brings a new definition to "utterly disappointing." That along with "Love" made one of their previous concerts the worst Sonata show I've ever been to, not including the current shitlist that I'm debating on even going to see. I just wish they would pick more deserving songs that haven't hardly been given a chance, like Ain't Your Fairytale, Land of the Free, The Vice/It Won't Fade, etc. To summarize: This song is best left to gather the dust it deserves.

    @CrazyBrick30 i mean its your opinion so to each their own. Personally i think its a good live song.

    K.... F....

    I think this song has some very hood melodies, like in the chorus, but the talking is really anoying. I dont know why they do that, in other songs as well. It is so pointless. It can destroy a nice song.

  3. J.... R....

    Great song!

  4. K.... F....

    Awesome :)
