The Arcade Fire
[via FoxyTunes / Arcade Fire]
When this came out last year I thought this was a somber cold Arcade Fire with a political view and no real musical emotion. The more I listen to the songs on this album I appreciate that the lyrics hold a lot of that emotion and if you listen closely you can hear a subtle rage. It is worth letting it grow on you. Soft spoken doesn't always mean small.
Artist: Arcade Fire
Song: Neon Bible
A vial of hope and a vial of pain,
In the light they both looked the same.
Pourred them out on into the world,
On every boy and every girl.
It's in the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.
Take the poison of your age,
Don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page,
What I know is what you know is right,
In the city it's the only light.
It's the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is right.
Oh God! well look at you now!
Oh! you lost it, but you don’t know how!
In the light of a golden calf,
Oh God! I had to laugh!
Take the poison of your age,
Don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page,
It was wrong but you said it was right,
In the future I will read at night.
In the Neon Bible, the Neon Bible
Not much chance for survival,
If the Neon Bible is true.
