    Lyrics:
    I keep using my energy
    Pushing and shoving my way to please
    Almost there, almost there
    Feel like we've been getting nowhere
    Almost there, almost there
    Feel like we've been getting nowhere
    Almost there, almost there
    Well...
    Electronic world, supersonic girl
    We keep holding onto nothing
    We keep typing, we're not talking
    We lose endlessly, world won't get by me
    I feel like I'm onto something
    We keep moving, we're not there yet

    It seems like this song pops up randomly in my brain every year or so. it’s an absolute masterpiece.
    One of the few songs to give me goosebumps.

    One of the best music videos of all time and chilling how much it fits today (late 2020). Gave me chills back in 2011, but now...wow. Sorry if I sound a bit too much BTEC Media Studies, but have you noticed: the empty trains, plague (flies) attacking the older lady, the young woman coughing, the people looking out of their windows - afraid to go out, the crime, no community, the CCTV cameras, the poverty (man with water in his mug, homeless man), the coke can (brands and companies crashing), the woman under work strain, the financial crisis. The lyrics - pleading the Lord to show him something. CHILLSSS.

    The 4 horsemen (riders) of Apocalypse-white (pestilence), red (war), black (famine) and pale (death). Book of revelation 6:1-8. And the lightning in the end might be the anti-christ falling from heaven. Luke 10:18

    • @josephmokobake3882
      @josephmokobake3882 8 років тому

      White= righteous conquest actually Amongst all these bad things, Jesus would still ride out in conquest. Red = war. Black = Stark famine, Pale = death and pestilence.

    • @yanapray1444
      @yanapray1444 8 років тому +1

      The white stands for the anti-christ-wolf in a sheep clothing sort of speak. CHRIST returns after the apocalypse and right before the wrath. The apocalypse is a very high repentance time-faith will be crucial and no return will seize the walk by faith and not by sight 'mode'. JESUS bless :))

    • @josephmokobake3882
      @josephmokobake3882 8 років тому

      yanapray The book says the rider was given a crown, which designates a kingly position. The other riders aren't given anything of the sort. And white robes are usually associated with righteousness. Read Revelations 19.

    @MichalIvan 12 років тому

    Actually,the first (white) horseman is sometimes wrongly referenced as Pestilence/Plague (mostly due to a woodcut by A.Dürer), but in the original Biblical text the 1st horseman represents a Conquest :)
    "Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals,and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder,“Come.” I looked,and behold,a white horse,and he who sat on it had a bow;and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer" Revelation 6:1-2

    Listening to this today because it is a perfect description of my current relationship. A year and half in and it's about the same place it started.

    I loved John Legend's voice in this and also this song's profile was raised due to a PlayStation 3 commercial.
