Song Review
With the Silversun Pickups sophomore release scheduled to hit the shelves tomorrow, I wanted to post another tune from Swoon. The Royal We is listed as the second track on the band’s follow-up effort to their blowout debut release Carnavas. In another example of how the recording industry is evolving with new mediums/technologies, Silversun Pickups have already released two tracks from the upcoming album as downloadable content for Guitar Hero: World Tour. With early reviews of the album all coming back extremely positive, I highly recommend getting your hands on this tomorrow.
We are ready for the siege
We are armed up to the teeth
Be careful how you live and breathe
Release what’s broken underneath
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder
We can laugh about it now
We hope everything works out
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Believe that change is coming soon
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder
You used to do a little, but a little won’t fly
Right before you hit your prime
That’s when we fell in love, but not the first time
Can I please you still?
Remain in your father’s will
Or does it make you ill?
Let us bruise their knees
We went in straight for a defeat
You will be relieved
So relieved, so relieved to the flow, and desire
Bitter sparks to the friendly fire
Misery inspires
Your throwin’ me cuts several times before
Never noticed the size of the flow
Make it be ignored
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Carefully look over your shoulder
You said you believe, but believing won’t fly
Right before you hit your prime
That’s when we fell in love, but not the first time
And when it’s all over and you open your eyes
You see the room turned on it’s side
And you’ll be lying down and over on the floor; signed,
The Royal We (x8)
Love The Royal We
