Faust, Midas, And Myself Lyrics Artist(Band):Switchfoot
I had last night How an old man tracked me home And stepped inside Put his foot inside the door And gave a crooked smile Something in his eyes Something in his laugh Something in his voice That made my skin crawl off Said I've seen you here before I know your name How you could have your pick Of pretty things You could have it all Everything at once Everything you've seen Everything you'll need Everything you've ever had in fantasies You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead You have one life You have one life You've life left to lead I woke up from my dream As a golden man With a girl I've never seen With Golden skin I jumped up to my feet She asked me what was wrong I began to scream I don't think this is me Is this just a dream Or really happening? You've one life You've one life You've one life left to lead You've one life You've one life One life left to lead What direction? What direction? I'm splitting up I'm splitting up This is my personal disaffection! What direction? What direction? What direction now? I looked outside the glass At golden shores Golden ships and masts With golden cords As my reflection passed I hated what I saw The Golden eyes were dead A thought passed through my head A heart that's made of gold can't really beat at all I wanted to wake up again I wanted to wake up again Without a touch of gold Without a touch of gold What direction? What direction? What direction? What direction? What direction? What direction? What direction? Life begins at the intersection What direction? What direction? What direction now? I woke up as before But the gold was gone My wife was at the door With a night robe on My heart beat once or twice And life flooded my veins Everything had changed My lungs had found their voice And what was once routine Was now the perfect joy You've one life You've one life One life left to lead You've one life You've one life One life left to lead If you find some error in Faust, Midas, And Myself Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Thanks to Hailey for submitting the lyrics. Review about Faust, Midas, And Myself good as! | Reviewer: Will | 11/4/2008 I got Oh! Gravity. the other day, and I started to listen to it. Then I came upon this track and it was amazing. I put it on repeat and listened to it for about an hour and a half. "You've one life, you've one life, you've one life left to lead" Amazing | Reviewer: helloalone | 6/30/2008 This song is so beautiful and convicting. I love the "A heart that's made of gold can't really beat at all" part and "And what was once routine Was now the perfect joy." The lyrics are so deep, and wonderful and they make me think. Possibly the best song on the record for me. To Bobby | Reviewer: ryan | 6/13/2008 i don't have an actual review, just a message to Bobby and all those like him. Jon Foreman and the rest of Switchfoot have commented that what they love about music is that it can be interpreted in many different ways. Jon has said that he is carefull in writing the songs NOT to put any specific mention of God or Jesus. By doing so, they leave it open to interpretation. No, this song has no mention of Christ, but neither do any of their other songs. That's what's great about Switchfoot. Interpretation. yeah | Reviewer: bobby | 4/5/2008 i think this song is awesome but i think you people trying to reduce to being dedicated to religion and god are ruining the song. i mean i know they are a christian band but there is nothing about god in this particular song Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/19/2008 Every time I listen to this song I gleam at the joy the message brings to my heart and soul. Faust: The man who sold his soul to the devil. Midas: The man with the golden touch. These two people had everything they could ask for, but even they found out in the end the things they had weren't what they needed. None of it was important. Happiness, thankfulness for the things you have. Good stuff. About the title | Reviewer: matt | 1/30/2008 after listening to this song the first time I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics at all. SO i figured it was a boring track because theres not a lot of instruments used in the track. But after listening to the lyrics again it hit me. This song is way deep and I feel carries a good message. And after I did a little research on the title i found out that Faust was a dude who sol his soul to the Devil for knowledge and power. Sorta goes with the whole theme of the song. Love it. Thanks switchfoot ! Deep! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/2008 This song is amazing, the lyrics when you first hear them really grabs you. Materialism is a major issue with the world. People will end others lives over a fight for money which in the scheme of things has little to no importance. What really matters is your impact on the world around us. BEST song ever | Reviewer: Dee | 12/24/2007 I love switchfoot but never really listen to this song but its now my fav. after really listening to it last night I learned the lryics today and it is a instant classic. very deep. along with Head Over Heals. deep. | Reviewer: heather | 12/13/2007 This is one of my favorites when it comes to Switchfoot. They have alot of songs that have so much meaning in them. This one stickingout alot to me. It discusses how much we take every second for granted. God created the Earth, and He created us. I'm pretty positive that He didn't want us to just sit here and act like it hasn't been provided for us. We have so much, and we don't deserve it. God wants us to pass on this message, not just sink into a boring "ruitine," like mentioned in this song. Make something new of our lives every day. Don't waste time complaining about why you're not able to do something, make new opportunities, for everyone, not just yourself. Great Song! | Reviewer: Hailey | 11/14/2007 It's definitely one of the standout tracks from Oh! Gravity. I listened to it once, and learned all the words. Now I can't stop listening to this song. Switchfoot should make more songs like this. It is by far my favorite song. I love it!
