Yeah... but the whole rebellion culture is run by "them" too... there's more to it. Don't just buy the stuff the main or alt media feed you. They're ALL controlled.
This song! I was a kid when my TV caught a wrong (right) channel and this song played. I remember being creeped out but feeling the presence of something transcendental. I have been trying to find it for quite some time now. This song is goddamn wonderful. I totally love Massive Attack. This sounds quite like the "Honey scars I'll keep you near" part in Splitting the Atom. I feel so good tonight.
Damn i had somewhat of a similar experience! I heard this song on MTV in the middle of the night and never forgot it, years go by and i'm a fan of radiohead, nine inch nails and the likes so i started listening to massive attack; suddenly i heard this song from one of their albums and it was one of the craziest music experiences i have ever had. Cheers up to you and to this incredible band!
Talk about the past week. Colorado shoots down a bill to ban AR15's, Pelosi introduces bill to ban them nation wide... within a week, two shootings with AR15s, one in Colorado killing many including police officers. Keep your powder dry boys
{ Lyrics } In city shoes Of clueless blues Pays the views And no-mans news Blades will fade from blood to sport The heroin's cut these fuses short Smokers rode a colonial pig Drink and frame this pain I think I'm melting silver poles my dear You bleed your wings and then disappear The moving scenes and pilot lights Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights Modern times come talk me down And battle lines are drawn across this town Parisian boys without your names Ghetto stones instead of chains Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames And nothing's changed Parisian boys without your names Riot like 1968 again The days of rage yeah nothing's changed Well pretty flames In school I would just bite my tongue And now your words they strike me down The flags are false and they contradict They point and click which wounds to lick On avenues this Christian breeze Turns its heart to more needles please Our eyes roll back and we beg for more It frays this skin and then underscore The case for war you spin and bleed The sales you feel screensavers feed The girls you breed the soaps that you write The graceless charm of your gutter snipes The moving scenes and suburbanites And smithereens got 'em scaling heights Modern times come talk me down The battle lines are drawn across this town English boys without your names Ghetto stones instead of chains Hearts and minds and U.S. planes Nothing's changed And English boys without your names Riot like the 1980's again The days of rage yeah nothing's changed More pretty flames...
Those who wine that live in the EU is ''difficult'' while giving no care to russian invasion and genocide in Ukraine, dictatorships in said russia, north korea, iran, afghanistan etc?
Egyptian boys without your names Ghetto stones instead of chains Talk em down cause it's up in flames And nothing's changed Egyptian boys without your names Riot like 2011 again The days of rage yeah nothing's changed more pretty flames
To those that think this song/video was a protest against the EU, here's what 3D had to say about Brexit: “As sons of immigrants, we are both very disappointed with the situation. We can’t allow ourselves to fall victim to the populist bullshit going on at the moment. We can’t let the bigots and racists back into this situation. It’s bullshit.” So, there's that. Take the joy of seing the EU flag burning with a (needed) grain of salt.
from the very beginning of the video you can see the reference to their Teardrop clip.. what a difference between a peaceful baby and a grown-up man..so sad..
I've never realized that at the end of this song you can hear The Bends from Radiohead (at minute 5:18). So awesome.. "Where do we go from here?" The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear And where are you? They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines To blow me away, to blow me sky high
+El Ente I have one question.. this song is not included on any official album right? Is "Collected" some kind of greatest hits.. right? I couldn't find on which album this song is. Thanks!
Julián Alvarez Yes. "Collected" is a compilation album. Some editions of the album come with a bonus Dual Disc, and "False flags" is on those. Like the song "Danny the Dog" from the movie soundtrack, a soundtrack made by Massive attack that if you dont listen, you should.
Wow, this song actually inspired me so much, i wrote a poem (though i wouldn't really class it as a poem) about the thoughts it gave me, i quite like it actually (:
Sums up Massive Attack's music: The slowing and speeding of time when powerful (beautiful ugly) emotion hits and the realisation sinks in in waves. Their music has a feeling of the hit to the brain of the realisation that something has changed life forever, good or bad, not in between. It could be a presence in your life no longer there. Like one of those weird creatures (human beings I believe they are called). You lament the fact theyre elsewhere now, maybe you only realised after, as you fumble your way through another growing crowd of zombies. What will you do next time you meet one of those rare creatures? Remember not to forget. (the words of Hugh Briss)
Great tune - great video. Love Bristols music scene. One of the best in the country. Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Roni Size, Smith and Mighty, Kosheen and new sounds from the likes of DJ Pinch, Appleblim, Dub Mafia, AllFlaws
Splitting the Atom EP grows on you. I like 3 out of the 4 songs on there. Bulletproof Love just doesn't do anything for me. But Psyche is amazing like you said, as well as Splitting the Atom and the way Pray For Rain opens up at the end is beautiful. Have no doubts about Heligoland.
Excellent video, excellent lyrics, excellent sound. FUCKING AWSOME! it is clear that people that listen to this, have a their own piece of mind and are not easily lied to by the system and all the dogmatism in the world.
This song has become more and more relevant as the years go by...
Millions AWAKE
Now look at us ✅⚠️😂
Yeah... but the whole rebellion culture is run by "them" too... there's more to it. Don't just buy the stuff the main or alt media feed you. They're ALL controlled.
Agreed ..I hope we finally one day we all wake up and stand up as one
been like this for a long time. generations.
The uncredited sample from Radiohead’s Bends at the end of this song was just the cherry on the top.
chills...
i was gonna go crazy tryna make sure if it really was
I'm obsessed with this song
is addict
It's amazing to see how active this topic is. Even after 7 years still getting comments.

THIS SONG+VIDEO IS ONE OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL DIGITAL AUDIOVISUAL EXPERIENCES I EVER HAD...STATE OF ART...PERFECTION
+Agte Mal calm down wtf
would you translate that to english please?
What??
Can you imagine Massive Attack's singer is Banksy
@@22asg Nobody cares how long you've been a fan boy, relax.
This song makes me think of how a small, innocent child can become a bitter adult. What happened? It never fails to make me cry.
More relevante than ever my friends...🖤
Indeed.
And especially right now. Or 2 weeks ago.
Un elefante muy revelante
Talk about the past week. Colorado shoots down a bill to ban AR15's, Pelosi introduces bill to ban them nation wide... within a week, two shootings with AR15s, one in Colorado killing many including police officers. Keep your powder dry boys
And nothing's changed, more pretty flames...
{ Lyrics }
In city shoes
Of clueless blues
Pays the views
And no-mans news
Blades will fade from blood to sport
The heroin's cut these fuses short
Smokers rode a colonial pig
Drink and frame this pain I think
I'm melting silver poles my dear
You bleed your wings and then disappear
The moving scenes and pilot lights
Smithereens have got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
And battle lines are drawn across this town
Parisian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk 'em down cause it's up in flames
And nothing's changed
Parisian boys without your names
Riot like 1968 again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
Well pretty flames
In school I would just bite my tongue
And now your words they strike me down
The flags are false and they contradict
They point and click which wounds to lick
On avenues this Christian breeze
Turns its heart to more needles please
Our eyes roll back and we beg for more
It frays this skin and then underscore
The case for war you spin and bleed
The sales you feel screensavers feed
The girls you breed the soaps that you write
The graceless charm of your gutter snipes
The moving scenes and suburbanites
And smithereens got 'em scaling heights
Modern times come talk me down
The battle lines are drawn across this town
English boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Hearts and minds and U.S. planes
Nothing's changed
And English boys without your names
Riot like the 1980's again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
More pretty flames...
Maybe the best song from Massive Attack, so crude but truthful! And the music is perfect to describe the lyrics!
11 years later and the Molotov is still burning! And this song +video still strikes you af!
Now no one really knows where to throw it
I love the deep male tones in his voce and he's always perfectly in tune.
I want to meet people who love this song very much.
Those who wine that live in the EU is ''difficult'' while giving no care to russian invasion and genocide in Ukraine, dictatorships in said russia, north korea, iran, afghanistan etc?
This song is really beautiful. So many emotions reflected in one song.
this is the most impressive song i've ever listened, no exaggeration. the music, the lyrics everyhing is fantastic.
there's so much pain and despair in his eyes... this video gives me chills...
seriously one of the best videos ever made. excellent song.
I am brazilian. my country is in a process of destruction. this make me feel something
#resistir ✊
European coutries are collapsing due to European union and globalisation.
its even more f***ed now with bolsanaro in charge of the amazon rainforest
@@Fredaunaturel and because of jews and black nobility
@@user-xu7kg8dp3u hahahahahahaha in brazil all who use the term resistance are facebook activists, the famous iphone socialists
THIS. IS. AMAZING.
The last line "where will we go from here?" of the video is Tom York singing The Bends..
Audiovisual Perfection
More relevant than ever! "The flags are false and they contradict. They point and click which wounds to lick." Just what's going on today...
awesome voice,..awesome track ,..awesome video,...again so dark and beautiful
In Hong Kong with 1.03m protester against extradition law to China, there were not a single piece of glass broken. Peace.
And listening to this song 5 months later, all I can think of is Hong Kong..
In Algeria as well.
Im Hong konger
So is the anniversary for the outbreak of wuhan pneumonia.
Egyptian boys without your names
Ghetto stones instead of chains
Talk em down cause it's up in flames
And nothing's changed
Egyptian boys without your names
Riot like 2011 again
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
more pretty flames
YEAH SOONER OR LATER THE RAGE OF BOYS WILL STRIKE UPON THOSE FUCKERS AGAIN
Just bought this on 12" vinyl with artwork done by Del Naja. Amazing track. Amazing artwork.
Every now and then I come back to this masterpiece

2021and Massive Attack one of the few Titans remaining!

I've never realized that at the end of this song you can hear The Bends from Radiohead (at minute 5:18). So awesome..
"Where do we go from here?"
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you?
They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines
To blow me away, to blow me sky high
+Julián Alvarez Thanks. I realize that, but i didnt know what song it was. Now i know. ;)

Haunting!
Mesmerized by the song and its video since 2006, when it was released with the Collected album.
adoro esta canción....
С МА со времён юности, с первого альбома) но как эта песня прошла мимо меня? текст актуален как никогда. олдам привет!
Massive Attack
You can change the flag at the end with the Union Jack and it will still make (even more) sense.
Wow!!!great video!!so cool.

2020 , here we are
Parisian boys without your names, riot like 2018 again

Rinse and repeat.
Amazing video
Massive attack have no equal in their genre!
Estuve buscando esta canción por meses, al fin te encontré chingadamadre!!!!

Nostalgia meaning past?
Excellent video, excellent lyrics, excellent sound. FUCKING AWSOME!
it is clear that people that listen to this, have a their own piece of mind and are not easily lied to by the system and all the dogmatism in the world.
I think about what's happening in France these days...
The days of rage yeah nothing's changed
