Does anyone else hear "I feel so useless in the murder city" instead of "Life is so peaceless"?

No I don't. Especially when the song starts you can hear the P of peaceless. Actually you can also hear 'life' right when it starts

it's sounds like a shenanigans song

Murder City rocks!

And after

I JUST WANNA SMOKE MY CIGARETTES

i think its

"There comes a dwelling against the racing

It's written all over our faces"

and after

IM WIDE AWAKE AFTER THE RIOTS

i think

"This demonstration of our anguish

It's a good laugh to life's no reason"

I'm wide awake after the riots

This demonstration of our anguish

???? there's no reason

After "anguish" it goes

"This empty ???? has no reason."

Can't figure out that one word.

I'm going crazy. Every word which sounds like what he's saying fits in.

But what you're saying, I don't think it's a good english lyric. How you say that? Not grammatical, but... *smashes head to desk* .. well.. I think it's not a good line, the words and all. Christ! I don't know how to form what's in my head.. which is in dutch.

Yeah, it sounds alot like Too Much Too Soon, almost exactly the same in parts.

yeah! It is really similar :)

I love the song! I think it's my favorite :wub:

I agree! I was about to post that, it's a shame that song didn't make AI, and I always thought TMTS sound like Haha You're Dead meets Dancing With Myself :lol: I think it's my favorite of this century's Green Day too, I wish they'd come up with fun stuff like that more often now =/

Desperate

I'm not helpless

I feel so useless in the Murder City

Desperate

I'm not helpless

The clock strikes midnight in the Murder City

ok.. here's what i hear.. ill go from after the chorus where the video starts.

I'm wide awake right through the riots

This demonstration of our anguish

???? reason

Like a bottle of your favourite poison

We are the last call out of so pathetic

Desperate

I can't help this

????? in the murder city

Desperate

I can't help this

The clock strikes midnight in the murder city

Christian's crying in the bathroom

And I just wanna smoke my cigerettes

????

It's written on all of our faces

We are the last call and it's so pathetic

Desperate

I can't help this

????? in the murder city

Desperate

I can't help this

The clock strikes midnight in the murder city

"I can't help this" could be "I am helpless"

right after "i just wanna smoke my cigarettes"

i cant understand the next line except the last word. it sounds like "wasteland"

Someone mentioned ''we've come so far, we've been so wasted''

Sounds good in my ears

Desperate

I'm not helpless

I feel so useless in the Murder City

Desperate

I'm not helpless

The clock strikes midnight in the Murder City

I hear 'Life is so peaceless in the Murder City' for sure

And in some parts you can hear 'I'm' instead of 'But' indeed.. Now you're mentioning it

Right, this is what i think the lyrics are and i'm pretty damn confident about this.

The line which everyone is confused about, to me, is alternating between 'hopeless' and 'helpless' (which i think someone already pointed out earlier in this post). This would also explain why some of you are hearing 'hopeless' and some are hearing 'helpless'.

I think the song is definitely called 'Murder City', according to wikipedia who has the whole album tracklist uploaded. But who knows, it might be some crazy fan being cool :) (either that or it might be another song which has just used the lyrics 'murder city' to make a reference to the song of the same name. Seeing as the band said there's that 'link' that ties everything together, this might be the case.)

The lyrics start where the youtube video starts with the added line at the beginning of the chorus :)

Murder City

Desperate, but not hopeless

Life is so peaceless in the Murder City

Desperate, but not helpless

The clock strikes midnight in the Murder City

Like a bottle of your favourite poison

And I just wanna puff my cigerettes

We've come so far we've been so wasted

It's written all over our faces

We are the last call and it's so pathetic

Desperate, but not hopeless

The clock strikes midnight in the...

Tell me what you think and hope you enjoy :D

(I'm also thinking about doing a meaning thing for the lyrics. Give people a little more insight to the song. Try and figure out what that crazy bastard is thinking :P)

WOOOOOO a month and 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace

That's funny, when I listened to it, I heard the 'hopeless' and 'helpless' exactly the other way around! (so first helpless, and then hopeless, only the first time I heard helpless too.). Well, as far as I could make things out, I heard that.

Josh881, I kind of agree with your version,

except for

I'm wide awake all through the riots

I'm wide awake after the riots

and for the last two times for the chorus... I think he actually says "helpless" 4 times... idk, but, that's what I hear..

Just an idea, who has got a Speech Recognition program on his/her PC? Just turn it on, open word, let the song be played, and see what your mic detects :P

Some crazy words must come out of there :P But no I don't have it. Sounds like a fun device though
