Swans - She Lives! Lyrics

It's insane that this came out in the 90s

Outstanding

i still dont fully understand what this song is about

This album was my introduction to Swans! So beautiful!

Who else came here from Wow Wow Wubbzy YTPs?

WHat is this song about?, the dark thrilling music makes this very sinister

I'm not so sure if the world will ever catch up to Swans.

I've heard this song hundreds and hundreds of times. I think it's one of the most important songs ever made.

I get seer vibes from this track, dark but a little whimsical in a way

damn that riff sounds completely different when you play it at 1.25 speed

LABAS MENO ZMones paklausom PINK u

i thoroughly appreciate your labours and will continue to appreciate the fruits of your suffering.

thank you, mr. gira.

Well, I'm here because of the PK video.

Oh Mr.Gira. Your music gives us more than "some joy and pleasure!"

I used to work in a one-hour photo place. The machine would spit one photo out at a time onto a type of conveyor system to be moved over with the rest of the order. So every time a photo was printed it made the sound "KaChung, KaChung" in perfect time with this song.

Kinkshamers can all go to hell

T series is trash

joshua anime and more literally no one wants you here

I love it.

words cannot express the feeling I got from listening to this monster for the first time unexpectedly, listening (half-faded) in the wee hours of the morning. nothing could have prepared me.

had the same exact experience a while back. swans are really a one of a kind. their songs have a feeling that I've never found anywhere else.

Bendage “Doug the Dufus”
(That’s thee)
or is it doofus ?
Whichever.

same exact setting right now

♥♥♥

Masterpiece... greetings Gira.

Swans - She Lives Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Now I just want to thank you
For going insane
Every second that you suffer
Is a loss that I gain
Every breath is a drain down
Down into a hole
And your mind is a shrinking thing:
It was crushed by your skull
Now you feel time unfolding
Deep in your chest
And your body's expanding
Now there's none of you left
So I just want to thank you
For losing your mind
Yeah you burned just like Joan of Arc
Purified by the flames

[Refrain]
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive!

[Verse 2]
Now I just want to thank you
For the light that you spread
And magnesium and sulphur
And the fear in your head
And I just want to tell you
You're nothing so new
Every time that you touch it
It'll turn against you
Now your future's a cold thing
Down in the damp ground
And your memory's a lead room
Containing this sound
So I just want to thank you
For killing your mind
All the life that you bleed out
Well I steal it for mine

[Refrain]
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive! You're alive!
You're alive!

[Instrumental]

Swans is the existential entity of music

Two months later still amazing.

IMHO, It was this album that made Swans to reach the Godhead status.

Entrancing.

Perfect

sad as fuck

I still have the "Visualize Total Annihilation" bumper sticker. This song has and continues to help me as a big F**k You to Bio Family who rejected me and All Haters. Period.

Family must be seen as phenomena, just a big hole which we such gaze at but overcome it. Take the cultural poison of thy veins and turn into the sweetest honey, just as Gira made with his shitty childhood.

This was the first Swans album I ever bought. It blew me away in the 90s and it blows me away now.

mine was soundtracks for the blind times square 99 navy years second port of call lol went to hotel Chelsea too the album had the underground black lure with the nyc vibe

Basically the man says you can go straight to hell.. Yeah, I love him too

Oh... This song... I have owned this album/cd 4 times. (of course it was stolen )And this...This SONG... I dedicate this to all the fucked up choices I made in Partners and toxic People and Family. I survived. Therapy and Hard Work and Staying Sober. And I got rid of You All. Fuck You Predatory People. I got this. I am Strong Now. Nie Wieder. This Song Was An Inspiration To Me to Keep On With the Right Path and Staying Sober. Thank you . <3 Over 20 years now. Never happier.

Kristine Kearney Life would be a lot easier for you if you stopped capitalizing every word in a sentence
