At The Bottom Of Everything Lyrics Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
she was, uh, on an airplane and she's flying to meet her fiancé sailing high above the--the largest ocean on planet earth and she was seated next to this man who, you know she had tried to start conversations an really--really the only thing she heard him say was to order his bloody mary and she's sitting there and she's reading this really arduous magazine article about a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the--the name of and she's feeling very bored and very despondent and--and then, uh, suddenly there's this huge mechanical failure and one of the--the engines gave out and they started just falling -an- thirty thousand feet and the pilot's on the microphone and he's saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Oh My God, I'm Sorry" and apologizing and she looks at the man and she--and she says, "Where are we going?" and he looks at her and he says, "We're going to a party, it--it's a birthday party. It's your birthday party, happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much." And then, uh, he starts humming this little tune and--and, uh, it kind of goes like this, it's kinda: One, Two, One, Two, Three, Four We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web We must rip out all the epilogues from the books we have read And to the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair We must stare, we must stare, we must stare. We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell And in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn't dream We must sing, we must sing, we must sing. And it'll go like this, alright While my mother waters plants my father loads his gun. He says, "Death will give us back to God, just like the setting sun is returned to the lonesome ocean." And then they splashed into the deep blue sea. (Oh,)It was a wonderful splash. We must blend into the choir, sing as static with the whole, We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul, And to this endless race for property and privilege to be won We must run, we must run, we must run. We must hang up in the belfry where the bats in moonlight laugh We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past And (in)to the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge. And then we'll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything and then we'll see it, oh we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it. Oh my morning's coming back The whole world's waking up Oh the city bus is swimming past. I'm happy just because I found out I am really no one.

Review about At The Bottom Of Everything Babes. Your not EMO | Reviewer: sarahSABOTAGE | 11/13/2008 I love the posers on here by the way. Just cause you say your emo doesnt mean you are. Your people. Why limit yourself? Thats what this song is aobut. People limiting other people. He wants us to break loose, live life to the fullest, dont listen to anybody, be yourself! The video relates because if your in that situation, instead of being afraid be happy! Dont be scared like everyone else, celebrate your life! Well, thats what it means to me... mad world | Reviewer: loveloveshine | 10/11/2008 I think what he wants to say is that we are fixed to a mad world and that the way we are raised tells us that there are hunderts of things that we ought to do according to everybody else but that it all just boils down that we will never perfectly fit into this picture and that we will turn as mad as this world is if we don´t step up I think he just uses death as a symbol for the change to the better and this story aboutt he girl in the beginning is just a symbol to show us how it all can end in the matter of a second and how mad this world really is and I don´t care whether bright eyes are emo or not I listen to music and not to genres I love these words. | Reviewer: movingmidwest | 9/14/2008 As a seasoned emu, I happen to know a lot about music (because it happens to be my forte) and love dashboard confessional and brand new. However, this new band and their deliberate twang sends me into such a frenzy that I almost laugh while I kill myself. (Which I have done multiple times, its a bragging right I owe to myself for being such a knowledgable individual.) I love the depth in the lyrics, I love that you can do what you want with them, and that no matter how you try you can never live someone else's emotion. I love that after years, I can still relate to the words and still feel unsure about what is meant. I love that I can never bring back the past and as this plane is headed for the ocean all I can do is toast to its descent. Woooo!!! Reminds me of staind and nickelback, but less hardcore!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay for emo, and all it stood for. a song about life. | Reviewer: jo | 9/1/2008 This song is not about suicide, i'm not sure where people got that idea.. I mean when he's saying in the cavens of tomorrow we must plunge, he's talking about living isn't he. we don't know what's going to happen tomorrow but we have to embrace it. It's conor oberst's view on life, and i don't entirely agree with it. I don'think i really am no one, and i don'thtink that would make me happy. but that doesn't mean i can't appreciate the overall beauty of the song and the wit of the lyrics. I think it's one of bright eyes best, and i love it. whoa. | Reviewer: Josh Bailey | 8/25/2008 some people just don't get home much amazing skill and insight it takes to right a song of anywhere near this calibar. he is not telling people to kill themselves, people that instantly take that kind of stand-point on his lyrics are obviously just too scared to actually realize that they too are going to die; the song is about embracing death, singing when the plane is crashing, not running around screaming in fear and dismay because you'll never see your Armani suit again. haha. by the way, Bright Eyes is not 'emo'; it is bewilderingly stupid to label a song as 'emo' because it speaks of death or any kind of pain. maybe we should label it as 'TRUTH' and bullshit pop music about how much money and clothes people have and how 'sexy' they are as 'LIES'. open your eyes people. Bright Eyes the bottom of everything | Reviewer: donaldson47@gmail.com | 8/21/2008 while my mother water`s plants my father loads his gun.....what an ingenious piece of song writing .I had been introduced to Bright Eyes before ,but didn`t think much of them ,then I watched and listened to this video on you tube and this song is outstanding.Very clever lyricist!###<<<>>. amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/2008 this song is so sick. the conors voice is almost emo, the music is bluegrassy, the lyrics sound like a 90s alternative song, and somehow that cacophony of mayhem makes something beautiful. plus, the chords are easy enough that i could sing and play it after one run through! bright eyes is now one of my favorite bands. awesome | Reviewer: katie | 1/29/2008 This song is so great. It's funny how I think that its like supposed to be a sad song, yet it has the opposite effect for me. I think that, judging by the music video, it means that death is something that comes along with living and you just have to embrace it and learn to be okay with it because there is no way of getting out of dying. Basically, this is song is amazing. Real emos. | Reviewer: Shannon | 1/15/2008 It's a pretty good song. I was saying to my friend the other day "If you think Fall Out Boy is associated with emos, you're wrong. Those are surface emos. Real emos listen to Bright Eyes." Yes. I am proud to admit I am part emo. Mind you, part. heroes | Reviewer: Jason | 1/15/2008 just like everyone else here, i have to say its a brilliant song, bright eyes isn't my usual style of music but i heard "Road to Joy" on the Heroes season 1 DVD, and since i obsess over everything heroes i looked up a bit more of their music and found this, i watched the video on youtube and at first i was like ahhh run, emo band! but in the end i had a huge smile on my face and its surprisingly a very feel-good song :D and a side note, is it just me or does conor oberst look like a younger emo-er peter petrelli, it kinda creeps me out actually :D thanks Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 Review the song At The Bottom Of Everything The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
