ChuckCheese Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Lyrics: Drop like get up(?) Take to the streets On Iraq(?), yeah, get up Face full of teeth When it's hot(?), yeah, spit up Tasting the beat(or heat?) Like a beast(?) (No idea what he's saying here..) Speak from your gut like a rush of blood Gave red on the (something) to the ones you love Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring Put pennies on their eyes, let the dead men sing I shiver and shake through warm and cold and alone On my own In every mistake I dig this hole through my skin And bones It's harder starting over Than never to have changed (?) With blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave (or brain?) They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave I sweat through the sheet(?) as daylight breaks(?) As I waste away It traps me inside mistakes I made That's the price I pay It's harder starting over Than never to have changed (?) With blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave (or brain?) They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave I drop to the floor like a 10-4(?) Stop, watching I'm coughing, I can't be more What I want, what I need over constant war Like a well full of poison, a rotten core The blood goes thin, the fever stings And I shake from the hell that the habits bring Lay the sick ones down The bells will ring Put pennies on their eyes, let the dead men sing Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave (or brain?) They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave I'm getting back what I gave Edited April 25, 2010 by ProjektCharlotte Quote
Deafandblind Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 if you have the ipa file then change the extension from a .ipa to a .zip or .rar and try to find the song then upload that if you can..... thanks again everyone!!! Quote
lparcshinoda Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 just trying to figure out lyrics - someone else ? Quote
sian18 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 i dont really like the song apart from mikes rap Quote
Numbrocker Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I like the song especially considering they didn't even need to do that. Quote
colinreid Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Blackbirds is epicly awesome!! Got it about 30minutes ago ( =. Quote
SergSlim Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Anyone asking for a song via PM in an indirect way - will get suspended too Quote
Geki Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 When it comes to the lyrics, I'm pretty sure they are about Chester's drug problem...in a darker way than a lot of the songs on MTM. Great song though. It's nice to hear Mike rapping. I can see why it didn't make the album though, not that it's a bad song or anything, but it just doesn't seem like it fits with the rest of the album. Quote
sublimeric Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Just listened to Blackbird on YouTube and think Mike and Chester killed it. Mike, in a great way, and Chaz in a "I'm going to edit out his parts" bad way. I loved songs like "My December" because it was unique at the time. But after "Little Things", "Not Alone", and the piano overkill of the live shows, The mellow side of LP bores me to tears. Botom line: Chester Bennington needs a new popper stopper. Quote
BaZz Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I think Mike needs to do another Fort Minor album. I love his rapping I am really hoping the next album I know he said he would rap more, but I really hope they take it back to HT album. Quote
VavourasLP Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Ok and now we need the lyrics!!! who's gonna get on this?? lol my bet on hahhinator Quote
Lakybird12 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 i love the snog but when chester will start more screaming part? i mean..how many times he did scream on the new song? only some in across the line but dam i miss chester screams good song!!1 Quote
luki9875 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 thats awsome cant wait for tomorrow.... all day with ipod playing until i get the song Quote
ChuckCheese Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Just posted my rough interpretation of the lyrics. Quote
demoncarnotaur Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Ok, the song is awesome. I'm sad that my ipod is formatted for a PC, and that broke so I replaced it with a mac. Sadly I didnt have physical backups for all of my live music, so I cant reformat my ipod and buy the game. But yes, the song is seriously awesome! Thanks for everyone out there in the community! Now I cant wait for a HQ version. I wonder if this song will see any radio play or if it will remain strictly a "b-side". Quote

Xero21 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Lyrics already done Psh the lyrics I posted in the Blackbirds lyrics thread are better. Quote
Subs Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I really don't want Blackbirds. Please in no way to not send me Blackbirds, like right now. I could just rip this low quality shit off youtube, but.. Quote
zuben7o7 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Fair track, will have to give more listens. Intro is odd. Mike's raps are cool but I don't like Chester's part in the song. Reminds me of how he sounds on Valentine's Day a bit and that song is beyond terrible. The middle section where Mike comes in (the bit from the trailer) is pretty good but other than that, yet another midtempo, no climax song from the MTM sessions. Nothing that would rip a genre to pieces. Quote
Qwerty18 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 So...the intro is really weird, but except for that, I like the global vibe in the song. However....LP f**cking need to do more heavy songs. Heavy in a rock side, or a metal side, or a electronic side, whatever, but heavy. 90% of their songs since the MTM-era are mellows, and it begins to make me bored. Still liking BB though... Quote
