Weezer - Cleopatra Lyrics






We grow old, our hearts are dim
But our minds are free, to fly where they will
Your beauty is faded, you're a broken shell
It's only the weak that fall for your spell

You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra

It's time to move, to the next life
You'll be reborn as a beautiful child
You'll turn the heads of a million men
Lady Pharaoh, the jewel of the Nile

You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra

All the wine we tasted, all the love we made
All the strumming lyres will decorate your grave
All the ecstasy is gone gone gone away

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder
Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty
You're older, you're colder

You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra
You can't control me no more Cleopatra, patra, patra

    Thank you

  17. M.... G....

    I like it. Never cared for Weezer or they never grew on me. Thought Back to the Shack was catchy but just okay when it was on the alt station. King of the World was pretty boring.

  19. M.... M....

    Chris McMahon. Interesting.

  20. G.... M....

    Best album they ever made. Just because Blue and Pinkerton were released in the 90s doesn't mean you HAVE to rank them highest by default.

    G.... M....

    Yeah, I totally get where you're coming from, but I slightly prefer white to this album tho

    G.... M....

    I think the white album is their best by far

    G.... M....

    This is definitely the most underrated album

    G.... M....

    We don't think blue and pinkerton are the best because they are their 1st ones, we think they're good because they're good, I get why you think this one is better, because this one is much different than their originals

    G.... M....

    Say It Aint So is shockingly good, from the very first note youre hooked. it's not a default.

  21. S.... Z....

    They'll never top The Green Album.  But this pretty good.

    S.... Z....

    I reckon this tops Green album. Green was alright, but Blue, pinkerton, maladroit, EWBAITE and White all top it imo.

    S.... Z....

    Scott Zaccagnini Green was pretty meh. Nothing from that album really stuck out to me. That and a lot of the songs sound the same.

  22. k.... ....

    this gives me such a summertime vibe

  23. A.... E....

    the song and the thumbnail reminds me of a pre-apocalypse world where the humans are extinct and beast are only living

    A.... E....

    @Darcy Phillips yes

    A.... E....

    Don't you mean post-apocalyptic? Pre-apocalyptic implies that it's the present time.

    A.... E....

    oh shit you're right

  24. s.... ....

    What do you think of my (extremely quickly written) summary? :


    1.      Ain’t
    got nobody- guitar sounds of red/make believe

    2.      Back
    to the shack- Just a song to voice mistakes and strive to return to
    form:
    simple songs with good beats and good lyrics (the song itself doesn’t
    encompass
    all of that, just a nostalgia song)

    3.      Eulogy
    for a Rock Band- A sort of rock anthem the intro dissidence of the
    guitars is brutal like pinkerton openings , like something from a darker
    red album. One of my favorites on this album.

    4.      Lonely
    Girl- Straight out of the green album, meant to have good guitars,
    simple
    lyrics, catchy

    5.      I’ve
    had it up to here- Something fresh, like a maladroit/dtfm song. Bit of
    Pinkerton keyboards at the end

    6.      The
    British are Coming- Another fresh, upbeat, song, with roaring guitars,
    fits
    with the kind of instrument-heavy concept album.

    7.      Da
    Vinci- Lyrically, and possibly musically too, one of my favorites on
    this album.
    Kid-like tones of pinkerton on the verses, then straight into that
    crunchy
    guitar we love.

    8.      Go
    Away- Lyrically very meh… but it is nice to hear a duet with a female
    like back
    on “threw out the love of my dreams”

    9.      Cleopatra-
    Wished the harmonica had a little more influence on the song, but again
    the
    guitar influence on this song is what is focused on, it seems, still a solid song.

    10.  Foolish
    Father- I would say the best song on the album, reminiscent of the early
    weezer
    days, but with a encouraging ending

    11.  Wasteland-
    Guitar rocking skills are still great

    12.  Anonymous-
    Some unsuspected passion backing this one. Fast beat part with the
    “heys”
    pisses me off a bit, but man Rivers saying “my anonymous” and Rivers
    unleashing
    on the guitar at the end is pretty fun.

    13.  Return
    to Ithaka- Again, guitar-fest on this song, and I like it quite a lot.
    (Arena
    rock at end)

  25. g.... ....

    You know its a good album when one of the best songs when have a video. CLEOPATRA AND DA VINCI

  26. j.... ....

    I literally just skipped to 0:28 to see if it was any good and now I need new pants...

  27. M.... ....

    patch 'er up....

  28. R.... M....

    patraaa, patraaa

    R.... M....

    Paturaaaaa

  29. R.... M....

    como que falto un video oficial a este bello tema

  30. C.... H....

    Lots of people in the comments are talking about Pinkerton, what's that?

    C.... H....

    +Ichiro T. It's also by far their best album

    C.... H....

    each of their albums represents a colour?

    C.... H....

    @Sara Rodriguez The Green Album is green, Illuminati confirmed.

    C.... H....

    +Sara Rodriguez no they have several self-titled albums and they have different colored backgrounds on the album covers, so fans started calling them by colors (examples blue, green, red, and white)

    C.... H....

    +Steve Stevenson An album they released which was destroyed by critics for its distorted aesthetic but over time, it became a cult favorite

  31. B.... A....

    I LOVE YOU

    B.... A....

    +Bluesnowfox AJ And i love you random citizen!

  32. G.... A....

    Jesus this is one hell of an ear worm.

  33. J.... C....

    Love that 5/4 bar

  34. J.... W....

    this should have way more views than it currently has.

  35. i.... ....

    This reminds me so much of Pinkerton I jizzed in my pants.

  36. A.... F....

    In would listen to this song while I was in the hospital it would help me feel less depressed and hopeful when I listen to it now I can strangely taste vomit in the back of my throat as if I'm still there just wanted to share that otherwise amazing song

  37. D.... M....

    Cool solo

  38. P.... k....

    1. The blue album
    2. The green album
    3. Pinkerton
    4. Raditude

  42. T.... L....

    What's everyone's favorite Weezer albums? Mine in order are:
    Even the ones at the "worst" slots aren't terrible to me, it usually just means they didn't have many songs I liked in them. 
    10. Raditude
    09. Hurley
    08. Death to False Metal
    07. Make Believe
    06. Red Album
    05. Maladroit
    04. Green Album

    5. Red album
    6. Maladroit
    7. Make Believe
    8. Raditute
    9. Hurley
    10. Death to False Metal

    T.... L....

    +Travis Laneve (Venatura) mine top 5
    1. blue
    2. make believe
    3. EWBAITE
    4. green
    5. pinkerton

    T.... L....

    +Travis Laneve (Venatura)

    5. Green Album
    4. Maladroit
    3. Everything Will Be Alright in the End
    2. Pinkerton
    1. The Blue Album

    T.... L....

    +Travis Laneve (Venatura) Am I the only one who LOVES Hurley and has it at #1?

    T.... L....

    @ЯAJ I could understand why someone likes Hurley, but I felt like it was rushed and most of the songs had little to no connection for me. I do like it more than Raditude, but I only dislike Raditude for the fact that "I Can't Stop Partying" exists because of it, otherwise Hurley would be in last place.

  43. L.... ....

    Who else thinks weezer could have their own rock band game? Like Beatles Rock Band? This would be a great song for it too.

    L.... ....

    Beatles are my favorite band so if weezer gets one...I'll be excited!!!!! Also SFTBH can be a dlc!

    L.... ....

    Would be amazing if it included B-Sides as well

    L.... ....

    Not a bad idea.

    L.... ....

    Lukey2003 You have just thought the same thing I have thought for 4 years...

  44. p.... d....

    i feel like when he says " you cant control me no more cleopatra " it just throws off the beat a little. imo it would be better if he said you cant control me cleopatra without dragging on the beat. dont hate, just my opinion im not saying i could do it better either.

    p.... d....

    They do that on purpose lol its weezer

    p.... d....

    @pat duckets That part gives just the touch to the song

  45. G.... D....

    If burnout were still around I think this would be one of the songs

  46. B.... ....

    Raditute was good.

    Amidoinitrite?

  47. H.... ....

    This song stuck so much to my head that I couldn't sleep when I first heard it... Amazing.. Love the 5/4 :)

  48. C.... O....

    5! 10! 15! 20! 25! 30! 35! 40! YOU'RE OLDER BUT CLOLENFNADFALIB!!!!

  49. M.... C....

    The guitar solo part going into the second chorus is so fucking tight!

  61. O.... ....

    Thank goodness! I missed you Weezer! <3 Pinkerton. I am buying this now.

  62. b.... m....

    It's going to be interesting to listen to the new album in it's entirety. This song is all right I guess, but "Back to the Shack" reminds me of their sound on Pinkerton.

  63. r.... ....

  71. F.... V....

    kinda like..they back to old sounds

  72. s.... ....

    What is your favorite song from this album?

  73. A.... S....

    Honestly, I've always liked Weezer, but they were never a band I cared too much for. I never got the love for the Blue album or Pinkerton. While they had some great and memorable songs, they never stuck with me. I spent some time with the Green album when it came out, and at the time I think I liked it a lot, but then it just drifted away for me. Again, there were songs that stuck with me, but never the whole album. Last year I saw them at a festival (they weren't my main draw even,) but I was absolutely blown away! I wasn't sure what to expect not really having been a fan for years, but I couldn't believe how impressed I was! Then I saw that this was up for preorder, and I thought sure, I'll check it out. I think listened to one song, and I decided on a whim I'd get the album. and I started reading reviews as they came up, becoming more hopeful and optimistic about my choice, as at the time, much like when I saw them live, I didn't quite know what to expect. Then I got my download link! I was absolutely blown away again!  Is it a perfect album? Maybe, maybe not. Is there such a thing? Who knows! All I know is I'm totally in love, and I can't stop listening to this album, and IMO it's even better than the classic duo. Bravo Weezer. Bravo! <3

    TL;DR: LOVE this album!

  74. a.... a....

    when i saw name weezer i thought of lil wayne lol. anyone did the same ?

  75. D.... R....

    This song brings them back to the sound of Pinkerton. It's amazing.

  76. G.... B....

    Excellent!! I love this so much ! :D =W=

  77. L.... ....

    Looking forward to the full album!!

  78. R.... B....

    I don't know honestly. I like this song but it has to be my least favorite on the album. Still better than anything on the last 2 albums

  79. j.... g....

    Love the cover art lol great album

  80. T.... L....

    Weezer is back baby!!

  81. L.... V....

    This song is amazing!

  82. J.... V....

    Cette chanson est juste génial! J'adore!

  83. A.... D....

    hey guys! go to my channel and check out my cover of "Go Away" by Weezer if you get a second

  84. �.... ....

    NICE MUSIC !!!
    NICE WEEZER!!!

  85. K.... !....

    Avicii

  86. R.... J....

    THIS IS ACTUALLY: KURT COBAIN SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    R.... J....

    Rivers sounds almost nothing like Kurt Cobain.

  87. I.... W....

    I found the full album on YouTube. I clicked it, and then thought twice about it. I felt guilty about it. Especially since the album comes out tomorrow. I think I'll wait 'till I buy it in the morning (or at 12 if I can't sleep) so I can listen to it... Spoiler free, if you will

  88. F.... �....

    They're coming to Mexico next weekend (oct 11), so excited!

    :)

  89. B.... ....

    I've never hated a Weezer album... and still don't :)

  90. R.... S....

    That fucking bar of 5/4 before/in the chorus... ugh I'm obsessed. This is good. 

  91. J.... D....

    Haters be damned—this album kicks ass, I wouldn't have believed it until i heard it.
