    LYRICS:
    I can only say these things to you while you’re sleeping
    I hear the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping
    I lie awake and pretend you can hear me
    You tell me that you’re scared that you’re turning into your mother
    I feel myself turning into my father
    We could lie to each other like they do and say we’re so happy
    It’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly
    And I feel my heart pounding
    And I think I might scream...
    I can tell you that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
    I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear
    I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever
    In the night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken
    You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken
    I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that
    And you suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp
    Your eyes alight, your face aglow
    It's the face of someone I don't know
    I can tell that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
    I can utter every word you’ve ever hoped to hear
    I shudder when I think I might not be here forever, forever, forever
    And all I can think is that it must be a kind of rebellion
    To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them
    I can tell that you’re all I’ve ever wanted, dear
    Through the din while you're breathing, while you're sleeping here
    You wake and you ask me if I'm gonna be here forever, forever, forever
    Your face so twisted and your eyes alight
    I want to tell you I can change you when you cry at night
    But I'd be lying
    Love is defying

    A breakup song that isn't about someone cheating or being a bad person, just about realizing you aren't in love anymore and struggling to accept it. Its about time someone wrote a song with that much thought.

    • @Will-qm1id
      @Will-qm1id Před 8 lety +29

      I agree with most of what you said, but I don't think its best described as break up song -- which implies a short term relationship.
      It seems more about a married couple that grows older, and both slowly realize they aren't very satisfied with each other, or their life, and they have no idea what to do about it..

      Absolutely correct soldiers whether he or she picks up wounded souls along life's path an makes them feel wanted and needed those are what you call heroes even for just one day like David Bowie would sing about

  • @BinkinPink
    @BinkinPink Před 11 lety +5

    Mikel explained the last line of this song in his Facebook Q & A recently, stating that love is defiant and even though it comes with ups & downs, you have to just say f**k it, I'm going to love this person anyway. That explains the hope at the end of the video.

  • @ziemstream

    I meant to click on All I Ever Wanted by Basshunter, but I got lucky by clicking the wrong video

  • @kvaselakes
    @kvaselakes Před rokem +10

    Another masterpiece, both song and video. I've known of this band for years, but just now starting to really dive into their music. (Shame on me for coming so late to the party!) The Airborne Toxic Event has to be one of he most underrated, underplayed, underappreciated bands of all time. Their often ironic, always intelligent and poignant lyrics delivered by Mikel's raw, pure, passionate voice produce an endless stream of chills and emotion in me, whether it is the first or one-thousand and first time I am listening to a song or watching a video. I truly feel like I don't have the proper words to describe the band and could never do it justice!

    • @mssolomito
      @mssolomito Před rokem +1

      Same here. I’ve been aware of them forever, but only in the past few months have I really dove into their catalog. I was fortune enough to see them live last month and they were incredible.

  • @michaeloconnell6299

    I recently almost lost my life do to meningitis and still fighting the fight thanks to Airborne Toxic Event bring my spirits high enough to least bring a smile to my face one of my favorite bands I've ever heard thank you and good luck

    • @colemanhill
      @colemanhill Před 10 lety +2

      Keep up the good fight. I almost lost the battle to it when I was 8 years old. Had it for a week before doctors diagnosed it. I had three strokes by then and woke up from the coma with right half of my body partially paralyzed. Full recovery was long and hard but can be done. Once the docs do what they can, its 100% attitude. Keep it up.

    • @michaeloconnell6299
      @michaeloconnell6299 Před 10 lety +1

      I appreciate your comments helps a lot I have two echildren four and five 33 years old and still fully disabled just had my 8th spinal tap on Monday looking forward to not looking forward to getting a shawn Don thank you for the comment I appreciate it I got spinal meningitis 2 years ago and it was misdiagnosed and now I'm living with the after effects for the rest of my life but as long as I'm on the side of the dirt I guess we're doing good rock on airborne

    • @stefaniewilliams3248
      @stefaniewilliams3248 Před 9 lety

      Damn straight this side of the dirt is right. As long as you can manage your pain and keep that shunt working the way it's supposed to. I know we are far apart but your my brother and I think of you more often then you know. Life keeps us way too busy to keep in contact as often as we would like sometimes. Just know I am always here. Love ya.

    "I could tell you that you are everything I’ve ever wanted, dear, through the dim of your breathing while you’re sleeping here. You wake and ask me if I’m gonna be here forever. You’re face is so twisted and your eyes are a light, I wanna tell you I can change it when you cry at night, but I’d be lying - love is defying"

    probably the second best live show ive ever been too. they fucking killed it.

  • @christinalynne1227
    @christinalynne1227 Před 11 lety +17

    They were married the whole time. They were pretending to be strangers and when they were done role playing they put their rings back on and went home, presumably. The song is based on the short story The Hitchhiking Game by Milan Kundera.

  • @dougsackfish
    @dougsackfish Před 10 lety +15
