DELAIN LYRICS

1. Breathe On Me

Breathe on me...
Breathe on me...

A stranger's face that I have never seen
but on photographs
but on tv screens
Your songs of romance ringing in my ear
you are all I see
You are all I hear
Your eyes met mine
Just one split second and I knew tonight
Yes you can be my solitary man
I’ll be your girl named Joy
Yes I’ll be all you need and more

[Chorus:]
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Light my way, bring me back to life
Breathe on me, breathe on me
Fill me up, make me feel alive
My heart is black my soul is bleeding
Give me something to believe in
Breathe on me
Tonight

Breathe on me...
Breathe on me...

Trying to stay cool as I’m approaching you
hitching up my skirt
as I start to flirt
My nervous is breathing when I’m close to you
I can’t help but being
breathless over you
Who needs the stars
You are my only star tonight
Who needs the moon
When you are my loverman
Until the bitter end
I’ll do all I can and more

[Chorus]

And call me the wild rose...

[Chorus]

2. Collars And Suits

Trying so hard to get by
To be the next big thing alive
But all the same
Every color I see – a pale shade of grey
Trying so hard and they say,
"You're just a signature away,
Just one handshake."
Well, here's to collars and suits
And things that they say,

"Once more it's your chance, just take it
Once more, don't be so blind
For all I care you fake it
It's your chance to shine."

[Chorus:]
And it's all
All that I dream of
There's nothing I want more
There's nothing I would trade it for
All I dream of
(My mistake if I'm not taking it)
It's all I really want
(All at stake if I'm not making it)
There's nothing I want more
(My big break if I'm not braking it)
There's nothing else
My problem if I can't take it

Why would we change our own game
These are the rules by which we play
I've heard it all before
"Try to make up your mind
And make up your face."
I don't believe in a way
To skip a chapter and be great
There's no such thing
Where all traumas and flaws are gently erased

"Once more it's your chance, just take it
Once more, don't be so blind
For all I care you fake it
It's your chance to shine."

[Chorus]

Here's to the collars and suits
(Here's to the collars and suits)
And the things they say
(And the things they say)
Gotta bring something better to the
Table to tempt me
Here's to the collars and suits
(Here's to the collars and suits)
And the things they say
(And the things they say)
Better put your money where your mouth is

[Chorus]

My mistake if I'm not taking it...
All at stake if I'm not making it...
My mistake if I'm not taking it...
All at stake if I'm not making it...
My mistake if I'm not taking it...
All at stake if I'm not making it...
My mistake if I'm not taking it...
All at stake if I'm not making it...
My problem if I can't take it

3. Are You Done With Me? (New Single Mix)

This city drinks and roars
Each word so meaningless
Each word, especially yours,
Echoes inside my head

[Bridge:]
Why can't you see
I won't let you get your way
Let you get the best of me
I just need to know
Are you done with me?

[Chorus:]
So are you done with me
And if you are won't you just let me be?
I try to understand your reasons for leaving
I cannot believe it

This city drinks and screams
This night will never end
This city made of dreams
My dreams have turned to sand

[Bridge + chorus]

So are you done with me?
Are you honestly?
Did you realize that I can't be all you need
Are you done with me?
Are you honestly?
If love is gone then I am done again.

[Chorus 2x]

This city drinks and roars...

4. Such A Shame

[originally by Talk Talk]

Such a shame
to believe in escape.
'A life on every face'
But that's a change,
until I'm finally left with an '8'.
Tell me to relax - I just stare.
Maybe I don't know
if I should change
a feeling that we share.

[Chorus:]
It's a shame (such a shame)
Number me with rage
It's a shame (such a shame)
Number me in haste (such a shame)
This eagerness to change

It's a shame

The dice decide my fate
that's a shame (that's a shame)
In these trembling hands my faith
tells me to react
"I don't care"
Maybe it's unkind if I should change
a feeling that we share.

[Chorus]

Such a shame
(Number me with the rage)
Such a shame
(Write across my name)

[Chorus]

Such a shame

5. Cordell

[originally by The Cranberries]

Though once you ruled my mind
I thought you'd always be there
And I'll always hold on to your face
But everything changes in time
And the answers are not always fair
And I hope you've gone to a better place

Cordell, time will tell
They say that you past away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell
They say that you past away
And I know that you've gone to a better place

Cordell, cordell
Cordell, cordell

Your lover and baby will cry
But your presence will always remain
Is this how it was meant to be
You meant something more to me
Than what many people will see
And to hell with the industry

Cordell, time will tell
They say that you past away
And I hope you've gone to a better place
Time will tell, time will tell
We all will depart and decay
And we all will return to a better place

Cordell, cordell
Cordell, cordell

Nana, nana, nana, nana
Nana, nana, nana, nana

6. Smalltown Boy

[originally by Bronski Beat]

(Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away)

You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.

Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No you never cried to them
Just to your soul

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.

Tell me why?..
Tell me why?..

Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry...
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry...

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away.

(Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away)

7. We Are The Others (New Ballad Version)

I'm walking with Sophie tonight
She lives in the air that I breathe
I can't get it out of my mind
how you were left to bleed
Was it how you dressed
or how you act
I can't believe
how they could act so violently
without regret
well, we will not forget

We are the others
we are the cast-outs
we're the outsiders
but you can't hide us
we are the others
black-eyed and battered
you're not out there on your own
If you feel mistreated
torn and cheated
you are not alone
we are the others

As simple as air in your lungs
as simple as words on your lips
And no one should take that away
no one should argue this
Now with our heads up high
we'll carry on
and carry out
that we won't let them get us down
or wear us out
'cause we are not alone

We are the others
we are the cast-outs
we're the outsiders
but you can't hide us
we are the others
black-eyed and battered
you're not out there on your own
If you feel mistreated
torn and cheated
you are not alone
we are the others

Normal is not the norm
It's just a uniform
(we are the others)
Forget about the norm
(we're the outsiders)
Take off your uniform
(we are the others)
We are all beautiful

We are the others....

8. Mother Machine (Live)

Incomplete, cast in the concrete
walk the city streets
granite sky
My machine built the factories
feeds the worker bees
get in line

Round and round and round
the wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
the pounding sounds
Round and round and round
the wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
intensify it all

Little girl in a concrete world
artificial hurt
in your eyes
You won't see any living trees
any flower fields in my time

Round and round and round
the wheels come down
Dreaming of the steam
the pounding sounds
Round and round and round
the wheels come down
Won't you electrify my soul
intensify it all

I like the plastic people paper world
The silver moon, the iron sun
I'll fold you paper flowers little girl
for you'll never see a real one

Round and round...

9. Get The Devil Out Of Me (Live)

I don't know what to feel, I don't know what to say
Ooh, I don't know what to do, what makes me treat you this way

Oh I get numb in my bones, oh I get numb in my heart
Why don't you leave me alone before I tear you apart?

I'm no Jesus Christ, I'm the one mistake that you love to hate
I apologize, it's your destiny to get the devil out of me

Oh I don't know what to do, it always ends the same way
Though I've been here before, I know the rules to this game

And though I try not to lose, in the end I will fall
Better to have you in tears than not to have you at all

I'm no Jesus Christ, I'm the one mistake that you love to hate [2x]
I apologize, it's your destiny to get the devil out of me

If you think I'm hard to handle (you give up so easily)
I just need a good example (to be what I used to be)

Get the devil out of me

I'm no Jesus Christ, I'm the one mistake that you love to hate
I apologize, it's your destiny to get the devil out of me

10. Milk And Honey (Live)

The sun was golden flamed
The air was sweet like honey;
The grass was soft we made
A pledge to keep on running.
The clouds all shied away
The air was warm and damp;
Oh on this golden day,
You ripped my heart away.

It was the dawn of may,
A lonely blackbird singing,
Now the same melody,
Brings back the pain...

[Chorus:]
(bring back the pain)
You'll get it, regret it
Take my advice !
(bring back the pain)
You'll get it, regret it
If you are wise !
As long as you are getting older
Always look over your shoulder twice

The moon was silver-lined,
The air was sweet like honey.
We've said our last goodbyes,
Now what are we becoming ?
Outside the blackbirds sing,
But you keep down the blinds,
'Cause each time you kiss her lips
They'll sing my lullaby.

[Chorus]

Always look twice

[Bridge:]
Not so long ago,
Now we are sober and cold
There's no way to return
We've got to let our bridges,
Got to let our bridges burn

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

(You played with my heart,
You ripped it appart)
Always look over your shoulder twice.

11. Invidia (Live)

My achievements seem so humble
While you're making whine from water
While my hand work the cold soil
All you touch turns into gold

And I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind

All the heroes in the gutter
Finally get their ever after
As they lay their final glance
Upon your ever shining armor
And I don't want to be like you

And I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind

Looking from a distance,
the difference seems so small
Has the grass been greener
on the other side at all?

And I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be like you
It seems like you outrun me every time
I want to be you
Why can't I erase you from my mind

12. Electricity (Live)

I can't forget the faces
I can't forget the sounds
I can't forget, can't get the fever down
I guess imagination
it makes it come around
whenever lightning strikes
and thunder sounds

We shared nothing
but storm, but wind
one rainswept moment
stuck within

Day by day
I walk the distance alone
walk the distance alone
Day by day
I fight the fever alone
fight the fever alone

I can't forget the shaking
your hands over my own
both hot with fever
to our very bones
I do regret the feeling
that we will never know
what might have happened
had we not let go

Day by day
I walk the distance alone
walk the distance alone
Day by day
I fight the fever alone
fight the fever alone

I can't forget the faces
I can't forget the sounds

Day by day....

13. Not Enough (Live)

Judgement is easy
You pick a side and a comfortable lie
Heavy the burden
When every victim is self-defined

Try to understand it's harder to apologize
When all committed crimes
They're just in our minds

It's not enough
How hard I try
It's not enough
To clear my mind
It's not enough
I'm the jury, I'm the judge
And I committed all the crimes
How hard I try
It's not enough

I walked away, and left you bleeding
As I kicked the mud off my feet
I lay on the ground and watched you leaving
My heart fights for every beat

Try to understand it's harder to apologize
When all committed crimes
They're just in our minds

It's not enough
How hard I try
It's not enough
To clear my mind
It's not enough
I'm the jury, I'm the judge
And I committed all the crimes
How hard I try
It's not enough
