This is their first album with lyrics in the liner notes. Here are the correct lyrics: Gold light breaks behind the houses I don't see what's strange about this Tiny bubbles hang above me It's a sign that someone loves me I can hardly stand up right I hit my head upon the light I have faith but don't believe it It's not there enough to leave it Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I have only two emotions Careful fear and dead devotion I can't get the balance right With all my marbles in the fight I see all the ones I went for All the things I had it in for I won't cry until I hear Because I was not supposed to be here Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I'm not alone I'll never be And to the bone I'm evergreen I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb When it gets so late I forget everyone I need somewhere to stay Don't think anybody I know is awake Calm down, it's all right, keep my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me I'm not alone I'll never be. And to the bone I'm evergreen. And if you want (dead seriously) To see me cry (don't swallow the cap) Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back) Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously) Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about What I wanna say to the girls at the door I need somewhere to be But I can't get around the river in front of me Calm down, it's all right, keep my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me I'm not alone, (dead seriously) I'll never be. (don't swallow the cap) And to the bone (Pat yourself on the back) I'm evergreen (Dead seriously) And if you want (dead seriously) To see me cry (don't swallow the cap) Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back) Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
+ChrisTopher Jiménez LOL, sorry, you are under 40? We used to (and I still do) buy albums. In the olden days, we'd buy things called albums/LPs/CDs and there would be pamphlets inserted in the package, with all sorts of fun information. Often there are lyrics there. This still occurs, but you have to buy the CD. The insert is called "liner notes." I have all the albums of The National, this is the first one that has lyrics in the liner notes.
+ChrisTopher Jiménez No, you asked me what "this" means. I answered what I thought the question was. Berninger has said these lyrics are not cohesive, just one lyrical couplet after another but without being connected to the others to form a story or meaning. It's rumored that Tennessee Williams died swallowing a cap from a barbiturate cocktail. Williams inspired lyrics in some other National songs. Berninger said that isn't it and he's not sure what inspired the song title, but I think sometimes his genius is subconscious so maybe it is about Williams. After all, he comes up with many lyrics by lowering his emotional inhibition, and increasing his depression and anxiety, with alcohol/wine. He doesn't keep a lyric book, he just listens to the music and gets inspired.
+Paul Wolfe unless the lyrics are ghost writed or shit you wrote because he just knew what people wanted to hear; then they have meaning. sibconcious thought and emotion come out in creativity. whether its active thought or not, these lyrics do have a meaning to him.
+ISaiHa56 Well, of course he's talking about Nirvana and The Beatles. There is a song and a album called "Nevermid", the same case for "Let it Be". Is it a sarcasm bro?? ... Really, I don´t know.
El retiro se rompe detrás de sus casas No veo nada extraño en esto Diminutas burbujas están colgadas arriba de mí Es una señal de que alguien me ama Difícilmente puedo permanecer derecho Golpea mi cabeza con la luz Tengo fe, pero no te creo Este amor no ha sido suficiente como para dejarte Todo lo que amo está sobre la mesa Todo lo que amo está del otro lado del océano Sólo tengo dos emociones Miedo cauteloso y devoción muerta No puede encontrar el equilibrio adecuado Tiro mis canicas en la pelea Veo a todos por los que he llorado Todas las cosas por las que he pasado No quiero llorar hasta que escuche Porque se supone que no debería estar aquí Todo lo que amo está sobre la mesa Todo lo que amo está del otro lado del océano No estoy solo Nunca lo estaré Hasta el tuétano Nunca me lamentaré Estoy cansado, estoy congelado y mudo Cuando se hace tan tarde me olvido de todos Necesito un lugar para quedarme No pienses que alguien que conozco está despierto Cálmate, está bien Abrázame el resto de la noche Cuando me preguntan que veo, Veo un brillante y blanco cielo colgando sobre mi No estoy solo No lo estaré Hasta el tuétano Nunca me lamentaré Y si quieres (de verdad) Verme llorar (no te tragues el corcho) Ponte 'Let it be' (date una palmadita en la espalda) O 'Nevermind'(va en serio) Hay un tiempo para abandonar, también uno para pensar en ello Lo que quiero decir a las chicas a la puerta es Que Necesito un lugar para ser Pero no puedo llegar al río enfrente de mí Bajar está bien Guía mis brazos el resto de la noche Cuando pregunta qué es lo que veo Veo un brillante y blanco cielo colgando sobre mí No estoy solo No lo estaré Hasta el tuétano Nunca me lamentaré Y si quieres (de verdad) Verme llorar (no te tragues el corcho) Ponte 'Let it be' (date una palmadita en la espalda) O 'Nevermind'(va en serio)

I got into the national with a track that was played in the movie the warrior about today
This is their first album with lyrics in the liner notes. Here are the correct lyrics:
Gold light breaks behind the houses
I don't see what's strange about this
Tiny bubbles hang above me
It's a sign that someone loves me
I can hardly stand up right
I hit my head upon the light
I have faith but don't believe it
It's not there enough to leave it
Everything I love is on the table
Everything I love is out to sea
I have only two emotions
Careful fear and dead devotion
I can't get the balance right
With all my marbles in the fight
I see all the ones I went for
All the things I had it in for
I won't cry until I hear
Because I was not supposed to be here
Everything I love is on the table
Everything I love is out to sea
I'm not alone
I'll never be
And to the bone
I'm evergreen
I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb
When it gets so late I forget everyone
I need somewhere to stay
Don't think anybody I know is awake
Calm down, it's all right, keep my arms the rest of the night
When they ask what do I see
I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me
I'm not alone
I'll never be.
And to the bone
I'm evergreen.
And if you want (dead seriously)
To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
Is it time to leave? Is it time to think about
What I wanna say to the girls at the door
I need somewhere to be
But I can't get around the river in front of me
Calm down, it's all right, keep my arms the rest of the night
When they ask what do I see
I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me
I'm not alone, (dead seriously)
I'll never be. (don't swallow the cap)
And to the bone (Pat yourself on the back)
I'm evergreen (Dead seriously)
And if you want (dead seriously)
To see me cry (don't swallow the cap)
Play "Let It Be" (pat yourself on the back)
Or "Nevermind" (dead seriously)
+Paul Wolfe can you explain me what this means?

Paul Wolfe Yes I know
I asked if you know what the song means

+ISaiHa56 Well, of course he's talking about Nirvana and The Beatles. There is a song and a album called "Nevermid", the same case for "Let it Be". Is it a sarcasm bro?? ... Really, I don´t know.

El retiro se rompe detrás de sus casas
No veo nada extraño en esto
Diminutas burbujas están colgadas arriba de mí
Es una señal de que alguien me ama
Difícilmente puedo permanecer derecho
Golpea mi cabeza con la luz
Tengo fe, pero no te creo
Este amor no ha sido suficiente como para dejarte
Todo lo que amo está sobre la mesa
Todo lo que amo está del otro lado del océano
Sólo tengo dos emociones
Miedo cauteloso y devoción muerta
No puede encontrar el equilibrio adecuado
Tiro mis canicas en la pelea
Veo a todos por los que he llorado
Todas las cosas por las que he pasado
No quiero llorar hasta que escuche
Porque se supone que no debería estar aquí
Todo lo que amo está sobre la mesa
Todo lo que amo está del otro lado del océano
No estoy solo
Nunca lo estaré
Hasta el tuétano
Nunca me lamentaré
Estoy cansado, estoy congelado y mudo
Cuando se hace tan tarde me olvido de todos
Necesito un lugar para quedarme
No pienses que alguien que conozco está despierto
Cálmate, está bien
Abrázame el resto de la noche
Cuando me preguntan que veo,
Veo un brillante y blanco cielo colgando sobre mi
No estoy solo
No lo estaré
Hasta el tuétano
Nunca me lamentaré
Y si quieres (de verdad)
Verme llorar (no te tragues el corcho)
Ponte 'Let it be' (date una palmadita en la espalda)
O 'Nevermind'(va en serio)
Hay un tiempo para abandonar, también uno para pensar en ello
Lo que quiero decir a las chicas a la puerta es
Que Necesito un lugar para ser
Pero no puedo llegar al río enfrente de mí
Bajar está bien
Guía mis brazos el resto de la noche
Cuando pregunta qué es lo que veo
Veo un brillante y blanco cielo colgando sobre mí
No estoy solo
No lo estaré
Hasta el tuétano
Nunca me lamentaré
Y si quieres (de verdad)
Verme llorar (no te tragues el corcho)
Ponte 'Let it be' (date una palmadita en la espalda)
O 'Nevermind'(va en serio)
