babboz Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hello.I'm italian and I don't speak english very well. In Dead By Sunrise's song in question, I cannot understand the words of the chorus; Many sites report: Coming out of the hypocrisy Coming out of the bureaucracy Coming in to lead to war They're a shame other sites: Common Enemy hypocrisy Common Enemy theocracy The common enemy war machine. Which side is right? Hello and thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) the top one sounds more accurate. it flows better and makes more sense in terms of syntax EDIT: sorry to use "syntax"... it means the way a sentence "flows".

Astat Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) The second one is correct (you can clearly hear the "m" in "enemy"). It should read like: Common enemy: Hypocrisy Common enemy: Theocracy Common enemy: The war machine Edited March 28, 2012 by Astat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babboz Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks. This means that Chester sings: Common enemy: Hypocrisy Common enemy: Theocracy Common enemy: The war machine Is this the correct part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 ah right ok, i didn't realise he was using colons to make the lines into statements like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 None of those are right. I have the Japanese edition of OOA and it has a lyrics booklet, the lyrics are Cmon enemy hypocrisy Cmon enemy theocracy Cmon enemy the war machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 None of those are right. I have the Japanese edition of OOA and it has a lyrics booklet, the lyrics are Cmon enemy hypocrisy Cmon enemy theocracy Cmon enemy the war machine are you sure that's not just bad translation? trying to write down lyrics just by listening to the song a few times is pretty hard, and I doubt the company would waste hours trying to get the words bang on...

[AndOne] Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 He's right, quite often it's just some other people typing up the booklet lyrics by listening to the songs. "It's the end of the world as we know it" oh wait that was a different song It sounds like "common" to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgr Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 it does sound like 'common' on record. but then again if i don't know the words i tend to just make a vaguely similar noise along to the recording. don't think I've ever looked up lyrics because I desperately wanted to know what they were. except for "Black Dragon Fighting Society" - try and decipher that on your own!

Geki Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Well the lyrics from the booklet actually make sense when talking about the government and world. And to me, it sounds like that. But to each their own, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
