Sublime - New Realization Lyrics






The time has come, to reach a new realization 'tween me and you,
time to clear the rumors, sensations, and things that just are not true.

Well I thought I heard you behind me,
with a knife poised for my back.
It's quite clear that I'm back in the swing of the living,
although I might not be on the right track.

Oh, thought I might drown but its hard to keep a good man down
town's where I'll find you, through some ill-gotten hand.
Although I never listen girl, I damn well understand.
And you think, I'm so damn feeble.
I can't see through your lies, your just a crock of shit,
with a pretty smile, and I refuse to compromise.

Oh, your giving me such a heavy, heavy, heavy load.

You may hold some vision of truth, if truth can be found in a lie.
Maybe some grain of inspiration, for a song that's deep inside.

Oh, tears running down your face,
Screaming to look you in the eye.
Well I'm looking straight at your twisted face,
and it's enough to make me cry.

Oh, passions they're for those that want to,

pay the price of loving you,
in more ways than one.
Wrapped around your finger,
but I think my time has come,
but I never can be too sure,
cuz I like to have a little fun.

Oh, what fun it would be to blow my mind and fall into the sun.
A mind is a precious thing to taste.

  55. s.... d....

    it's a bitchin' tune...

    s.... d....

    what are you high on

    s.... d....

    Are you retarded? To say what you said in your comment would imply that Sublime is bullshit considering 99% of their music is ska,reggae,surf,punk,hiphop,rock combo and it all has a reggae sound. This,in my opinion,is good but shit compared to all Sublines music. Lay off the water bro. You must be having a bad trip. Your comment sucked. You are entitled to your opinion though.

    s.... d....

    @Mark Hilston i can see you're raving. simmer down, there, sparky...break the prozacs in half.

    s.... d....

    Mark Hilston I like you, you keep it real.

  56. R.... C....

  60. R.... H....

    What a poet!!!!

    R.... H....

  64. T.... ....

    I absolutely love this song and I did an acoustic cover of it. I must say, I don't think it's all that great, but you should check it out anyway and give me some feedback. It's a whole step down too....

  67. �.... V....

    @mdelair420 Don't know in which moment i talked shit. Just trolling, i guess.

  68. n.... n....

    @DaleCable brad the the boss dj. simple as fuck, a true socal legend

  69. D.... M....

    @DaleCable i would like this comment a million times if i could cuz ppl just dont get the facts you so clearly said.

  70. n.... ....

    @11maebelle best lyrics ever. foreal thats my girlfrend gotta dump that scumbitch

    n.... ....

    prolly didn't your wrapped around her finger.

  71. d.... m....

    @DaleCable couldnt have said it any better, man

  72. T.... ....

    @DaleCable they never claimed to replace bradley. sublime with rome is a tribute to Bradley.

  73. S.... C....

    who gives a shit who's better? This song's chillen

  74. B.... ....

    To be honest, Bud and Eric did play music after Brad died Long Beach All Dub Stars, the band did shit, sales wise but it was a good band. So now they need money so they,re gonna tour with the name Sublime to get money thats why all the songs written with Rome are shit radio friendly songs. They should have chosen a different name but without the name they would not have gotten all this attention that they have now probably not even a fraction of it.

    B.... ....

    BadComenter you have to let go of Brad's Genius in the aspects of Rome making music now. look at his age. I've seen them live and im someone who loves the entity of Brad, but it was a good feel good show and I think he is smiling down watching the new generation be integrated with his product of brilliance. Rome has voice.

  75. A.... S....

    @piggybank16 You're not sure? Those are direct quotes from Bud. The rest of them will carry on but he's definately not gonna tour with them anymore. He said he wouldn't rule out working with Longbeach Dub Allstars if they can sort out drug issues because he's unwilling to tour in that environment (also a factor in his decision to quit Sublime w/Rome)

  76. p.... ....

    @astemostevenson I'm not sure about that Rome, Bud and Eric are in the only recent ska/punk band worth listening to, and I doubt they're just gonna quit cold-turkey, if at all.

  77. A.... S....

    @piggybank16 Bud - "In hind sight I would not have used the name. I didn't want to in the first place, I was talked into it.."also never agreed to do extensive touring for three years straight so that soured me on this thing"

  78. A.... S....

    @piggybank16 shitfuck? no need to be a bitch about it. you're wrong as well, "No, I am done with Sublime w/Rome. I would be into playing music with Eric Wilson, however."

  79. T.... ....

    @piggybank16 No Brad was so much better. Rome is alright. But Brad was on a whole other level.

  80. p.... ....

    @astemostevenson he's just taking a break cuz his baby momma's prego, shitfuck

  81. A.... S....

    @piggybank16 Its not that he cant sing. It's just that they should never have used the name Sublime again. Even Bud came to his senses and quit...

  82. J.... ....

    @ShdowSora Um, it is completely different now, which isn't NECESSARILY bad, but in my opinion, I prefer the original Sublime...Everybody's unique, and Bradley put his soul and his originality into every word he sung, whether it be a written lyric or what he was just feeling like saying at the moment...And his voice...tell me it's not different...

  83. J.... ....

    @roller237 He was crying out for help through his music, it seems...Really sad to hear songs like "Pool Shark," and to know his fate...Very, very sad.

  84. S.... ....

    @DaleCable What the fuck are you talking about it's completely different now?

    If it was completely different, then why does it still have a Sublime-like sound?

    Oh yea, the other two guys. Guess no one cares about them because they didn't die and they weren't singers?

    Don't get me wrong, I'd take Sublime with Brad over Rome, but Brad's not around and Rome's fucking good. He does a good job following in Brad's legacy with his old band mates.

  85. D.... ....

    he's right up there with Chopin(THE poet of the piano) Bradley- THE poet of his time and genre.

  86. D.... ....

    quit trolling

  87. p.... ....

    @420MissMichelle his ass wasn't bald ; )

  88. M.... ....

    @piggybank16 Haha really? He's kinda balding.

  89. M.... ....

    @piggybank16 Fuck Rome

  90. r.... ....

    @stereoarchitect best way iv ever heard that put

  91. D.... S....

    What bradley did for music.. he took all his favorite sounds and added his soul and made something so original. Always kept it real.

  92. D.... S....

    @DaleCable Such a good point.

  93. D.... L....

    @GumBeatingTV Your the shit...couldnt agree more

  94. D.... L....

    @DaleCable You summed up my thoughts completely...he's trying to fill a shoe that is far too big

  95. H.... ....

    Hey you guys should check out my playlist, this video's included...

  96. D.... G....

    @HSJimmyStweight haha sooo true but i still always end up reading

  97. s.... ....

    Brads lyrics are fucking stunning......amazing....

  98. H.... ....

    It's a chore to read the comments on Sublime videos.
