this song will have a special place in my heart for the rest of my life

•°☆☆☆°•

song ;; achilles come down 
by gang of youths (slowed & reverbed).

lyrics : 
achilles, achilles
achilles come down, won't you
get up off, get up off the roof?

you're scaring us
and all of us
some of us love you
achilles, it's not much but there's proof

you crazy assed cosmonaut
remember your virtue
redemption lies plainly in truth

just humour us
achilles
achilles come down
won't you get up off
get up off the roof

achilles, achilles
achilles come down, won't you
get up off, get up off the roof?

the self is not so weightless
nor whole and unbroken
remember the pact of our youth

where you go
i'm going
so jump and i'm jumping
since there is no me without you
soldier on

achilles
achilles come down
won't you get up off
get up off the roof?

loathe the way they light candles in Rome
but love the sweet air of the votives
hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
engage with the pain as a motive

today of all days
see, how the most dangerous thing is to love
how you will heal and you'll rise above

achilles, achilles
achilles jump now
you are absent of cause
or excuse

so self-indulgent
and self-referential
no audience could ever want you

you crave the applause
yet hate the attention
then miss it, your act is a ruse

it is empty, Achilles
so end it all now
it's a pointless resistance
for you

achilles, achilles
just put down the bottle
don't listen to what you've consumed
it's chaos, confusion
and wholly unworthy
of feeding and it's wholly untrue

you may feel no purpose
nor a point for existing
it's all just conjecture and gloom

and there may not be meaning
so find one and seize it
do not waste your self on this roof

hear those bells ring deep in the soul
chiming away for a moment
feel your breath course frankly below
see life as a worthy opponent

today of all days
see, how the most dangerous thing is to love
how you will heal and you'll rise above
crowned by an overture bold and beyond

ah, it's more courageous to overcome
you want the acclaim
the mother of mothers (it's not worth it achilles)
more poignant than fame
or the taste of another (don't listen Achilles)
but be real and just jump
you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, achilles)
you will not be more
than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)

you want my opinion (no one asked your opinion)
my opinion you've got
you asked for my counsel (no one asked for your thoughts)

i gave you my thoughts
be done with this now
and jump off the roof
can you hear me Achilles?

i'm talking to you
i'm talking to you
i'm talking to you
i'm talking to you
achilles come down
achilles come down

throw yourself into the unknown
with pace and a fury defiant
clothe yourself in beauty untold
and see life as a means to a triumph

today of all days, see
how the most dangerous thing is to love
how you will heal and you'll rise above
crowned by an overture bold and beyond
ah, it's more courageous to overcome.

2012 brought the highly anticipated release of “The 2¢ Show,” Steam Powered Giraffe's second studio album. The 2¢ Show gives listeners a one-way ticket with the robots on-the-road through an antique America that is filled with both magic and mystery. Join Rabbit, The Spine, and The Jon as they travel to romanticized echoes of various eras. Eras such as the wild and weird west, where Jackalopes yodeled alongside singing cowboys and Giant Rattlesnakes were king. Aboard an enchanted steamboat, they head deep into a mystical south, finding Bog Spirits who boogie to twisted Zydeco tunes. From a decaying past, dieselpunk fables and crooning records melt with electric folk pop and psychedelic radiation to create the unique, yet timeless sound Steam Powered Giraffe makes.

Sorry for Me

The trail went 
More or less parallel 
With Green Bay Road 
From Lake Forest 
More or less 
Thirty miles  
North of downtown 
 
I used to ride 
My bicycle 
On this trail 
On Saturdays 
All the way 
To downtown 
 
How can I escape? 
We all want to escape. 
How can I breathe free? 
We all want to breathe free. 
 
Well I’m starting  
to think about 
where I want to go 
and when I get there 
if I will turn around 
I don’t know 
And if I’m sidetracked 
On the ride 
It’s not a sin 
As long as I’m 
On the way 
To downtown. 
 
I don’t want to be late. 
I know it’s going to be great. 
How can I breathe free? 
We all want to breathe free.

the fall

*repeat repeat - Everybody's Falling In Love

A song about Freud.

Lyrics:
If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city;
You never give me anything that I want.
 
No one seems to really care.
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn.
 
But you won’t understand
All the things that I am
Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways.
 
But I get that little feeling
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing,
All my fibers say to run away.

Count my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside.
I come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
All these things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young.
So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.

Love my mum and love my daddy,
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head.
 
Darling, dearest, don’t you see?
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeois,
And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead.
 
Am I good? Is all I could
Enough for you? 
 
I’m so scared
Of when and where
I’ll find the truth.

How To Be Alone

This Side of Paradise (SLOWED)

Lyrics

Mrs. Magic to and fro
Please give me one last show
Loosen my mind from within
Before it starts to wear and thin

I don't know
I don't know what I'm doing here

I don't know
I don't know what I'm doing here

Mrs. Magic Radio
Give me one last chance to show
Tell you what lurks deep inside
Deep inside my battered mind

I don't know
I don't know what I'm doing here

I don't know
I don't know what I'm doing here


Leaving me outside

No I can't get back in
No I can't get back in

Leaving me outside

No I can't get back in
No I can't get back in, uhh

Mrs. Magic to and fro
Just let me be myself

More than a band. More than a show. Step into the world of Steam Powered Giraffe!

The quirky act combines comedic sketches, improvised banter, and original music fused with harmonies and robot pantomime.

Steam Powered Giraffe is a musical project from San Diego, California. It was formed in 2008 by twin siblings David Michael Bennett and Isabella Bunny Bennett. Together, along with a cast and crew filled with theatrical backgrounds, the group takes on the guise of singing antique automatons and the fictional robotics company that made them.

From their heartwarming nostalgic melodies to their funky cabaret rock, Steam Powered Giraffe’s songs are memorable, infectious, and as unique as the robots themselves.

More than just a band, Steam Powered Giraffe is an experience that must be seen and heard by the entire family.
