American English
Idlewild
Songs when the truth are all dedicated to you
In this invisible world I choose to live in
And if you believe that now I understand
Why words mean so much to you, theyâ"š¬â"ž¢ll never be about you
Maybe youâ"š¬â"ž¢re young without youth
Or maybe youâ"š¬â"ž¢re old without knowing anything true
I think youâ"š¬â"ž¢re young without youth
Then you contract the American dream, you never look up once
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve contracted American dreams,I require you to stop and look up
Sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world
Constantly searching to find something new
But what will you find when you think that nothingâ"š¬â"ž¢s true?
Maybe itâ"š¬â"ž¢s that nothing is new
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you
The good songs werenâ"š¬â"ž¢t written for you, theyâ"š¬â"ž¢ll never be about you
Then you contract the American dream, you never look up once
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve contracted American dreams, you never look up once,
so donâ"š¬â"ž¢t look up
Sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world
Sing a song about myself, keep singing a song about myself
Not some invisible world
And I wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t tell you what this means, â"š¬í‹Å“cause youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll already know
And I wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t tell you what this means, â"š¬í‹Å“cause you already know
So sing a song about myself, keep singing the song about myself
Not some invisible world
And you came along and found the weak spot,
but youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve always wanted
And let yourself be everything, that youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve always wanted
It doesnâ"š¬â"ž¢t have to be so decided, youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve always wanted
And no need for explanations, that youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve always wanted
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll find what you find when you find thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s nothing
And youâ"š¬â"ž¢ll find what you find when you find thereâ"š¬â"ž¢s nothing
