Baroness - Tourniquet Lyrics






Bought an artificial heart and it's broken
It never started
Please operator, take it out of here
Don't let it be the death of me
Filled my bloodstream up with poison and ashes
Now I'm starving
Don't ever let me go, my sweet amphetamine
Holding on, all alone

Somebody throw me a tourniquet
I'm open-hearted
I took a shot in the dark and I'm wasted
Start it all again
I tried to save myself from a heart attack
But I had it coming
Another shot to my cardiac
Did not start it up

Wake me up on the ocean floor
A storm's passing overhead
Warning me to come ashore
In the blink of an eye
My heart still breaks
My blood still waits
I'll never sleep alone

I've got an artificial heart
It beats but I can't feel a thing
It's an unofficial part
It bleeds but I'm already gone

Better hurry up with the tourniquet
'Cause I'm open-hearted
Please operator, take it out of here
And start it up

I've got an artificial heart
It beats but I can't feel a thing
It's an unofficial part
It bleeds but I'm already gone

    Operador, sácalo de aquí.
    Please operator, take it out of here

    No dejes que sea mi muerte
    Don't let it be the death of me

    Llena mi torrente sanguíneo con veneno y cenizas

    Ahora me muero de hambre
    Now I'm starving

    Don't ever let me go, my sweet amphetamine

    Aguantando, solo
    Holding on, all alone

    Que alguien me tire un torniquete
    Somebody throw me a tourniquet

    Soy de corazón abierto
    I'm open-hearted

    Tomé un tiro en la oscuridad y estoy perdido

    Mi sangre aun espera
    My blood still waits

    Nunca dormiré solo
    I'll never sleep alone

    Tengo un corazon artificial
    I've got an artificial heart

    Late pero no puedo sentir nada
    It beats but I can't feel a thing

    Es una parte no oficial.
    It's an unofficial part

    Sangra pero ya me fui
    It bleeds but I'm already gone

    Mejor date prisa con el torniquete
    Better hurry up with the tourniquet

    'Cause I'm open-hearted

    Operador, sácalo de aquí.
    Please operator, take it out of here

    Y ponlo en marcha
    And start it up

    Tengo un corazon artificial
    I've got an artificial heart

    Late pero no puedo sentir nada
    It beats but I can't feel a thing

    Es una parte no oficial.
    It's an unofficial part

    Sangra pero ya me fui
    It bleeds but I'm already gone

  11. M.... P....

    Fantastico

  12. M.... M....

    Putting dislike - go in the ass!

  13. V.... ....

    Watched them before Volbeat concert in Amsterdam 19/11 - I must say the girl on the guitar was amazing, top class passionate guitarist and musician

  14. N.... S....

    Love it!

  15. P.... ....

    amazing song. wow!

  16. Q.... D....

    Idc what the "critics" say, this is still a good album.

    Q.... D....

    The critics loved this album. Weirdly enough it was the average music listeners who turned on it. It's a shame. Songwise, Gold & Grey might be the most consistent album Baroness have ever recorded. I feel it funny that fans of metal, the genre with notoriously the worst production would find the production a deal-breaker. I've heard so much worse. Songs with bass or guitar tracks that were near inaudible, or barely sounded like instruments.

    Q.... D....

    The critics gave it 91% on Metacritic.

  17. R.... S....

    one of the album of the year

  18. H.... E....

    I got here because I saw them a few day's ago when they openend for Volbeat. They sounded great and put on a solid show!

  19. V.... E....

    I love it<3

  20. P.... A....

    Shit. Sorry

  21. D.... G....

    What ever people says about You. Youre amazing😍. Keep going👍. Im waiting for You in Poland👈

  22. D.... A....

    besides the brilliant instrumental execution, I'm just enchanted by the concept... its atmosphere, just dope lml

  23. r.... ....

    Gina is a great fit and really complements John's vocals. You guys never disappoint!

  24. J.... W....

    I finally found a modern metal band that doesn't scream or growl in their songs every fucking microsecond.

  25. O.... O....

    I love everything this band has done. First started listening to them 2010 and the entire experience of watching you guys grow and evolve has been a sincere pleasure. It's things like this that make life worth while.

  26. G.... K....

    greatest Baroness track, imho. ok - maybe, most emotional..

  27. f.... ....

    I can't get the image out of my head that in order to shoot the intro scene like that Gina had to be standing on a crate or something.

  28. g.... ....

    brings back memories of pendulum. nicely done

  29. C.... D....

    Catchier

  30. H.... ....

  54. C.... G....

    Listening to them from Colombia, regards

  55. �.... �....

    love this song. Great vibes and soft atmosphere

  56. G.... N....

    Never been a fan of Baroness really. Guess i've never sat and given an objective listen to their albums. I have to say this song has really grabbed me though. Lots of respect to John B. as an artist though, hes a creation machine.

  57. S.... C....

    Great song! Wish I could find a cover or accurate tabs so I could learn it on guitar

  58. A.... ....

    amazing song but it's honestly too bad their MV game is so weak..

  59. R.... ....

    Just discovered this band by looking through vinyl in FYE, decided to research the band just because of their badass and meaty name. What a discovery...and revelation.

  60. K.... M....

    Hmmm. No "sealed up with virgin stitch"?

  61. J.... ....

    Good song, but was the rhythm guitar de-emphasized on purpose? Or is it just not there?...

  62. �.... M....

    This has totally punched it's way right up to the top of my favourites

  63. r.... S....

    The best part of this song is from 0:01 to 5:46.
    Your welcome.

  64. J.... C....

    One of my favorite tracks on the new G and G album, but am I the only one who feels like this video was done by someone with $100 and 2 hours to get something on tape?

    J.... C....

    same with the production/mixing

  65. T.... N....

    This mix is painfully shit.

  66. K.... ....

    Was really hoping they would go back to the Red or Blue album style. I just can't get into it. Shame

  67. C.... P....

    best song i've ever hurd

  68. B.... S....

    I saw them for the first time in Pittsburgh and they’re fucking awesome.
    Gina has really added something special to their sound.

  69. G.... B....

    A masterpiece!

  70. T.... *....

    Ok....this one got me....love the Baroness.......always a listening experience, and I say that with the most respect

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

    What size drumsticks does this guy use? Holy crap!

  72. C.... T....

    Man, what a song! Love this whole new album.

  73. S.... H....

    Most underrated band in history.

  74. J.... K....

    Cannot get this song out of my head

  75. T.... T....

    silhouettes were fine, ya threw me off with the random heart and flowers... nice song none-the-less.

  76. N.... S....

    How can we persuade them to visit Greece?

  77. F.... ....

    This is different. I kinda like it (?). I'll have to listen to the rest of the album!

  78. M.... S....

    I cant stop listening to this track! Thank you BARONESS!

  79. Z.... ....

    amazing amazing song

  80. h.... ....

    Hey, anyone know why this album vanished from Google Play music.

    h.... ....

    I donno why but it seemed like when it came back the vox were clearer? It's back up now.

  81. G.... A....

    Alguien los va a ver en Bogotá Colombia el 7 de septiembre?

  82. J.... Z....

    This album is amazing from start to finish. Well worth the wait....

  83. D.... D....

    Song hits home.

  84. S.... ....

    I lost my grandma 8 days ago, and this song is helping me going through all the pain that the situation brings. You speak to my soul, always. Thank you guys. See you in Milan next october.

  85. N.... R....

    The real hero here is who ever mixed this bad boy. This album is hands down the best album I've ever heard, everything is so clear. The fact that I can listen to it on my 3ds and lose none of the audio quality is amazing

  86. N.... Y....

    The song is beautiful, the sound is disgusting.

  87. D.... t....

    Is it just me, or is the mix on the entire album too hot? I've made the mistake of converting a .wav file to mp3, where the bit rate was too high and the result was an overly punchy and mildly distorted track. It was fixable by reducing the bit rate in the .wav file. The whole album has a sizzle to it. The snare hits are distorted and it's "harsh" sounding. It kinda ruins an otherwise good album.

  88. J.... B....

    Jesus Christ this motherfucker and belting out vowels! Shut the fuck up!

  89. A.... M....

    Gina has an incredible charisma! John must be proud of the choice!

    A.... M....

    her voice really adds something special

  90. 1.... b....

    Every Baroness album is simply a weapon of mass joy, you won't feel more free and glad to be alive with any other record... or, if you know others please let me know 'em!!!

  91. K.... K....

    I've listened to nothing else the last week.

  92. w.... w....

    bald head in perfect shape

  93. T.... H....

    Peep my review of the Gold & Grey vinyl. The drop on this song may be my favorite part of the album.

  94. O.... t....

    Beautiful song...

  95. M.... L....

    Obsessed with this song

  96. T.... J....

    HOLY SHIT THE BASS REALLY POPPED OFF IM SCREAMING

  97. D.... C....

    I fucking love Baroness and their signature sound but I want an all acoustic version of this song.

    edit: alternatively they could turn that Intro into a 5 minute song of its own...

  98. A.... ....

    It's like I drank a whole cup of sizzurp and accidently sync'd 3 random songs together. Very nice.
