Avatar - Tower Lyrics






You look like you need a friend
Let me in and we'll pretend
Light some candles, do not cry
I'll sing you a lullaby

You lost your key and cannot leave
I'll play with you and make believe
I'll keep you safe with all my power
I will build you a tower

In every stone I'll carve your name
Nothing will be quite the same
Laughter at the midnight hour
In our own little tower

Ashes paint our bedroom grey
These shall be our finest days
As I pledge, my precious flower
Keep you safe in a tower

Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home

Don't be scared, you won't be hurt
I promise that I'll keep my word
Just behave and we can play
Just do everything I say

Do not speak and do not think
I will give you everything
Everything within my power
I will bring to your tower

Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home

See your home on the horizon
What you were will fade away
Every day of every season
Is devoured by the gray

Stay inside and dream of towers
Wake up all alone
Welcome home
All alone you count the hours
Right where you belong
Welcome home

    Anyone else hear pigeons at the end? XD

    This is so cinematic, like a movie. The lyrics really let you imagine what story this song is trying to tell. Very dark & thought provoking. Reminds me of a horror movie where the main character ends up in a hopeless situation involving inevitable death or eternal misery, then the credits roll. No light at the end of this tunnel. Your life & everything you are, or have been, every happy experience you've had, every color you've seen, every person you've known is now a worthless, non-existent fragment of your past. Your present & future will be spent alone inside this tower with only a view of grey, dark, grim horizons & dead, black trees. All day. All night. Every day. Every night. You'll never see the sun or the moon again.

    I very love this song uwu
    \o3o/
    I love avatar

  4. N.... S....

    Religion be like

  5. v.... m....

    Very very cool

  6. B.... A....

    Woooow !!! 😶😲🤩😍

  7. M.... T....

    This speaks volumes. It reminds me of my time in jail

  8. T.... D....

    feels like a new version of rapunzel to me :o

  9. Y.... o....

    This is the only song I listened to while I read the Dark Tower series.

  10. L.... ....

    He is correct everything that I was goes away and it's consumed by the gray (hair) just like the lyrics. Welcome home means here I am today nothing to do with the past it's all about today... very true I just love this guy.

  11. t.... m....

    this is the only song that helps me sleep. me, being partly an insomniac, i don't get very much sleep/when i do sleep i have nightmares.. but when i listen to this song before i fall asleep/while i'm falling asleep, my nightmares aren't that bad and i sleep a lot better. if fact they're kinda peaceful.. this song takes me back to when i was a child and things weren't as bad as they are now..

  12. 1.... ....

    This song has a very deep meaning behind it. I love it but it also gets depressing but its an amazing song...

  13. J.... T....

    When I first heard this album, I was already a big Avatar fan due to Black Waltz. I had an amazing and a terrifying experience across my section of the world, all the way to China. I was alone in an alien land, but, this album, specifically this song, was a refuge for me, a safe place to recuperate in and to survive in. I'm externally thankful to this band.

  14. C.... T....

    I discovered Avatar like two weeks ago, ended up listening to this one, I really love the vocal melody pretty original and fresh to my ear

  15. T.... O....

    Couldn't be someone who is locked in a tower by the depression?

    T.... O....

    It could...Or about person in the mental hospital.

  16. A.... S....

    Thats a beautiful song.

  17. S.... 1....

    😍😍😍

  18. S.... C....

    Ive never wanted death more

  19. K.... 1....

    I'm listening breathless..

  20. G.... ....

    Sounds so dark yet so beautiful at the same time

  21. F.... M....

    This song makes me miss my hubby. He passed November 28th 2018. Hardest month of my life...

    F.... M....

    I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

  22. A.... ....

    Johannes really doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a vocalist. This performance is so intense.

    A.... ....

    This dude has a clean AND scream range and accuracy that makes me jealous as an amateur singer.

    A.... ....

    @Arin Go watch the LIVE performance on my channel, I think you'll appreciate it the way I did. You can FEEL it.... He's an AMAZING vocalist and you called it when you said his talent is so very understated in the music scene today. Hope that will change

  23. V.... V....

    These guys are so underrated!!!

  24. T.... E....

    Hands down my favorite Avatar song, and they have a lot of great music!

  25. J.... H....

    Reminds me of Stockholm syndrome

  26. J.... H....

    Reminds me of Stockholm syndrome

  27. M.... G....

    I love how everyone gets different ideas from this song. To me, it kind of reminds me of me, and how I was obsessive and controlling and it cost me my girlfriend. I was stupid and didn’t realise what I was doing until she left. The song also kind of just reminds me of what I’d like to do to some people. Some people do not deserve to live their lives happily, I guess I’d like to take it away from them, since they have taken so much already from others

  28. L.... Q....

    Why does this break me so bad? 💔

  29. J.... G....

    I dunno why but this reminds me of a heavy David Bowie

  30. T.... K....

    A girl i used to call overlord gave me this song and i love it ❤️😂

  31. S.... V....

    for some reason this reminds me a bit of all we ever wanted was everything by bauhaus (if you don't know this song check it out guys it's so fucking greaat)

  32. S.... V....

    this song is so much better live

  33. L.... S....

    I shouldn't be here. This song and the one I listened to before (Lullaby) have made me cry and fall in love with Avatar even more. 😄😅

  34. E.... E....

    This lyric videos are pretty simple but I fucking love them :( <3

  35. B.... B....

    Johannes is so fucking great !<3

  36. A.... H....

    New generation of Marylin Manson?

  37. s.... o....

    The sad fate of someone who becomes a house wife or husband. You're lonely and find someone to make you feel important, you then dream of a beautiful home, its all yours (your name on every stone), your running around stops you forget who you were then become old and gray while you are alone cause your significant other is off working and playing. I'm getting older myself and have seen some of the brightest burning people get married and turned into a mere shadow of there former selves.

  38. K.... ....

    Damn, this good.

  39. E.... E....

    Just do everything thing I say

  40. I.... M....

    This song is amazing in concert.

  41. C.... H....

    The song explaining Rapunzel's life haha

  42. T.... 5....

    ☠Sooo dark ....so lovly☠

  43. P.... ....

    I spend this xmas with Hail the apocalypse-Avatar, and this song (incredible brilliant) was playing over and over again!

  44. L.... M....

    Can anyone tell me the strumming pattern? I can't be sure

  45. J.... B....

    This song remimds me of schizophrenia, because living with schizophrenia can be like living in a tower

    J.... B....

    Kinda, not quite, maybe split personality disorder (I should know, I was diagnosed with both).

    J.... B....

    Reminds me of Stockholm syndrome

  46. S.... d....

    Does nobody realise this song is based on the story of Rapunzel?

  47. C.... T....

    my love life

  48. A.... ....

    This made me cry, don't know why

  49. M.... M....

    This song reminds me to live free and is the most important song on my playlist. Avatar fan for life!

  50. E.... D....

    I feel at home..

  51. M.... ....

    This song reminds me of a narcissist.

  52. S.... P....

    This sonf is fantastic...creepy and chilling...love this one

  53. J.... ....

    This feels like an analogy of my low self esteem

    J.... ....

    I dont get why you have a low self esteem. Your pretty looking.

    J.... ....

    @The AcousticSkeleton Well if you associate your self confidence only on good looks, I have bad news for you :)

  54. B.... T....

    one of the greatest by Avatar. Thanks Flow006 for the lyrics. This song means so much to me!!!

  55. L.... M....

    I'll learn this song by heart and when my futur children won't be able to sleep i'll song it so they will feel same inside our little tower

  56. L.... D....

    At first I thought it was a great song about friendship but now I realized it's about locking someone in a tower or himself. Very depressing

  57. �.... �....

    Mother Gothel? Is that you?

  58. D.... I....

    best lullaby ever!!!

  59. t.... ....

    This is awful. Horrible way to finish an album.

    t.... ....

    Then you don't listen what Johannes is singing, This is a real masterpiece imo. I urge you not to listen to their latest album cos that is a real piece of art.But hey you r entitled to your opinion ...

    t.... ....

    @Kevin Vandenameele You are right, feathers and flesh upon the first listen was pretty boring. I'll give it more of a chance.

  60. D.... W....

    i want to like the song but its at 777 right now dont want to mess it up

  61. H.... ....

    I've just found this song and band, at this is now one of my favorite songs! though for some reason I would really want another one to sing it, it seems quite caricatured to me... :?

  62. f.... l....

    I really like this song, but can't explain why. It's probably how well the vocals are done and how dark it sounds.

  63. J.... G....

    So.. I'm having an issue. I'd like to listen to everything at once as it's taking too much of my time listening to every song a million times. So if someone wants to mash up Avatars entire discography into 1 song, that'd be wonderful!

  64. J.... N....

    Creepy and awesome

  65. B.... K....

    This song reminds me kinda of something like what a dragon may sing to a captive maiden for weird twisted reason

  66. J.... B....

    I'm the lead singer in a cover Band called "sad & horny" and on the next Event we will be performing this song

    J.... B....

    Jannik Beineke l hope that is a joke

    J.... B....

    Well it was 2 years ago so if it wasnt he already did.


    Why do you hope thath tho?

    J.... B....

    Fito the band name

    J.... B....

    Yes its quite ridiculous...but i have heard worst.

    J.... B....

    @Mr Goat Lmaaoo

  67. H.... H....

    Bioshock INFINITE

    H.... H....

    fuck yes!!!!!

  68. J.... ....

    This song is brilliant. Sad to think Kanye gets fame from being a prick in life, and metal bands are screaming the truth about life and real shit. but whatever, humans are fucking dumb.

    J.... ....

    Jannik Beineke Metal/Rock will NEVER die. Rap in my opinion, is just what the kids now days consider to be "cool". rock has that certain flare to it that brings out the feelings inside.

    J.... ....

    Ya know, it is sad, but at the same time good. Good in that people that actually care about the truths in life can find it, while people that want to live a fantasy can live that way; I'd rather dumbasses be famously known and metal bands a bit harder to find, cause it kinda symbolizes that you have to find the truths in life.

    J.... ....

    You are a human.

    J.... ....

    GodzCrispy I could not have said it better myself

    J.... ....

    Fluorescent Knight awesome

  69. j.... m....

    When I listen to this I think back to fable two with the spire and King Lucian.

  70. C.... C....

    this song is creepy af

    C.... C....

    at least until 3:00 xD

    C.... C....

    A lot of Avatar songs are kinda creepy, like this one, Bloody Angel, Murderer, Something in the Way, and kinda Puppet Show.

    C.... C....

    Cheese Cookie then y do u listen to it

  71. J.... M....

    I don't know why but I feel this song fits for a BDSM relationship or a very sick relationship in which the guy becomes obsessed with the girl.

    J.... M....

    Right? It's like sickly beautiful though.

    J.... M....

    Ah, the big dick she-male relationship. Much tower. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

    J.... M....

    nah this is a song about a pet owner living in an apartment on a higher floor.

  72. M.... ....

    this song makes me think of mother Gothel and Rapunzel from tangled...

    M.... ....

    Same here

  73. m.... c....

    I love avatar BTW I'm 10 and I've been in love with this since I was 5 metalica avenge sevenfold fve finger death punch #iminluvwithjakllandhydexoxo

    m.... c....

    +Anon Meeps ok *hangs self*

    m.... c....

    Guys wtf?? thats just a young man with a good taste of music.. sure the style in wich he is writing is a little bit cringy but wtf??? metal should be a place where everyones welcome no matter how old what race and so on.. michael dont listen to them and keep on with what youre doing <3

  74. T.... B....

    I love thing song and have listened to it enough to be able to sin he whole thing, but i still don't know the meaning of this song

    T.... B....

    could be a horror theme or an abusive relationship take your pick :)

    T.... B....

    ok, thanks

    T.... B....

    Could also be about mental illness, reminds me of the way a lot of eating disorder suffers almost "befriend" the illness, but really with music you should always take your own meaning, makes it mean a lot more to you personally

    T.... B....

    I think it's about kidnap and sexual abuse

    T.... B....

    Definitely up for interpretation. When I listen to it I think about like obsession, mad love, desperation for someone or something, or like maybe abuse. Like mental abuse. Like a major internal conflict with ones self.

  75. c.... ....

    ever since i heard this song ive had it stuck in my head for the past 3 days........best earworm ever!!!!!

  76. m.... o....

    This song was a challenge to see if the writer could use the word tower 50 times

    m.... o....

    he says the word "tower/s" 7 times. And YES i was really bored to count them

    m.... o....

    only 7?

    m.... o....

    +Branden Hylton count it by yourself, but he said it 7 times

    m.... o....

    Hopefully you didn't hear midnight hour as midnight tower 😛

  77. M.... P....

    This song look like a gorrilaz song

  78. E.... C....

    Thank you for this. I love the fact that everyone can take something different from their music and especially the lyrics. This song is amazing!!!

  79. C.... G....

    I love this song so much I can listen to it everyday and night!!! love them so much!!!!☺☺☺😊😊😊😀😀😀😁😁😁

  80. S.... A....

    dont know a proper way to express what i think of this song... i mean... seriously... ??? by far, the best song heard in a long time...

  81. P.... t....

    Anybody think of Berserk when listening to this?

    P.... t....

    +TheFuryHasCome the manga ?

    P.... t....

    @ours brun
    Yeah.

    P.... t....

    @TheFuryHasCome haha I agree :) 

    P.... t....

    Dude it fits perfectly!

  82. D.... ....

    Am I the only one who think this song is creepy as f*ck? Beautiful song.

    D.... ....

    noppp xD

  83. D.... 1....

    I feel like the instruments should be on minecraft....I LOVE IT 😄😄😄

    D.... 1....

    On Minecraft ??

  84. e.... ....

    This is straight up about the government. Tell me you don't hear that man

    e.... ....

    I don't xd...
    to me it's about stockholm's syndrome, but as you feel it dude xd

    e.... ....

    In an interview i believe he said he wrote it for his gf at the time.

    e.... ....

    I can hear what you mean man...^^

    e.... ....

    @arnaud venditti Yeah that's what it makes me think of too.

  85. D.... ....

    It reminds me of March Story for some reason

  86. B.... A....

    Makes me think of bioshock infinite o.o

  87. J.... ....

    Reminds me of Sansa on Game of Thrones

    J.... ....

    I'll never listen to this song the same now... Lol good reference.

  88. L.... C....

    This song legit made me cry TT__TT

  89. M.... R....

    "metal is just a bunch of screaming, they dont even have talent"..... every time i hear that from now on i'll point them this way

    M.... R....

    A lot of metal is lyrically solid and meaningful, you just cant always hear it lol.

    M.... R....

    Better than fucking rap or country /rap -pop lol

    M.... R....

    @JD Howe I don't think there is any kind of music that is "good" I'm personally listening to some rap but I love metal and many other genre

    M.... R....

    @La Biche Furtive fair enough. Grunge is great! :)

    M.... R....

    Michael, today you can't even call what's out there music. I agree with you. Grunge killed metal/ rock. I love this music. They have a story behind each one.

  90. D.... K....

    This is just simply a hauntingly beautiful song.

  91. R.... R....

    This song just restored my faith in music.

    R.... R....

    This whole band did

  92. S.... D....

    That moment when you feel every hair on your body stand up, that brief feeling of clarity and life. You know it is going to be a good song.

    S.... D....

    Sinister Ducky the gayest shit ever bro stfu xD u embarrass avatar

    S.... D....

    EXP Sheepy dude wtf he\she isnt embarrassing avatar that's pretty much a complement.what that person said is very true.this song is very powerful yet i dont understand why you would say that.

    S.... D....

    slipknot forever He's a troll, he was in another comment section on one of these vids. I don't know if he even listens to the band.

    S.... D....

    anyways this song makes me reflect on the world and that makes a sad day. no matter how relevant the song is it is still a part of us no matter how small. Long Live Avatar the greatest band sence rammstein.

    S.... D....

    You're a duck, you don't have hairs

  93. d.... d....

    this song makes me feel so relaxed unlike anything I have ever felt before

    d.... d....

    david drynan yea me too...

  94. J.... H....

    Little strange, but still awesome and some powerful lyrics!

  95. L.... D....

    Great song, 8ut it's so creepy!!!!!!! It gave me chills... 

  96. C.... G....

    I'm in love with this song. It either makes me sad or happy. x3

    C.... G....

    It makes me wanna poke people.

    C.... G....

    Lol i suppose that works

    C.... G....

    Yays..! Hehe..

    C.... G....

    @Cassie Chan For me, this is either really creepy or really comforting. It depends on my mood.

    C.... G....

    It gives me a peace that kind evolves into an anger when the guitars and chorus all start coming in

  97. E.... B....

    Oh my god <3

  98. a.... ....

    This hits more than just home. He's painting a small fraction of his life, his mind. His efforts, his joy and pain. His regrets and his pride. This right here is the reason why I love Avatar.

    a.... ....

    this song, bloody angel, and Freak Show, the video when he saying I need something to sedate me Then he hast dirt kicked in his face. I wonder if he had an abusive childhood? Things like that make great songs. It's a shame though.

  99. b.... b....

    I love this song! It takes me to the beautiful dark corners of my mind. It's like a warm blanket.

    b.... b....

    It's like a warm welcome.

    b.... b....

    Welcome home 😊

    b.... b....

    His voice
