Benjamin Clementine - Adios Lyrics






Adios
Adios
Adios to your afternoon
Cause tonight I will be forever
Following the colosseum moon
Into a certain room

Adios
Adios
I am sorry for quickly jumping into the train
I waited but no one came
You're just too late

That decision is mine
That decision is mine
So let the lesson be mine
Let the lesson be mine
That decision is mine
That decision is mine
Cause that vision is mine
That vision is mine

Adios
Yes, goodbye, adios
Adios to the little child in me
Who kept on blaming everyone else
Instead of facing his own defeat in Edmonton
After all, I should have no regrets
For if it wasn't for my mistakes I made yesterday
Where would I be by now?

That decision was mine
That decision was mine
So let the lesson be mine
Let the lesson be mine
That decision was hard
That decision was hard
But that vision is mine
That vision is mine

Yes, I've taken my bags and I'm going down service street, taking a train I know very well, and angels, they come in and go
You know last time when that angel had been in, you know, she left, and I don't know other things about angels anyway
You know, sometimes, uh, you think that you know more than you know, but then you actually don't understand
Anyways when they come to me, they sing to me so beautifully
If I can recall their melodies, it goes, excuse me to take your time, but it goes something, something like this:

[Interlude]

Lest the trees cease breathing
Lest the bees cease breeding
And all the salts in the Dead Sea ferments to honey

Until then, I'll be forever
Chasing, chasing, chasing it all till the very end

That decision is mine
Let the lesson be mine
Cause that vision is mine
That decision is mine
Let the lesson be mine
Cause that vision is mine

    2:07 is where he starts talking. But, the part that got me was when he recalls angels singing to him in opera. But it makes me wonder if thats what it sounds like the moment you enter heaven. As your floating away.

    I hope someday you can read this words. I feel the pain and the power from your songs. I've been passing through some dark times and your voice were more effective than any anti-depressive drugs. The songs you make gave me a numerous insights of my personality and helped to save me from death. You make me feel i'm not alone in the world. I don't know you, but I love you.

    G.... L....

    From time to time I return here, listen the song and read my words from 3 years ago. It's becoming a tradition to give news once in year on this thread. I cycled for 3 months though Latin America (Patagonia and Uruguay). 2500km living like a hobo helped me to understand better my suffering and my . I don't work with geology no more and I am currently making my living by acroyoga lessons. Again: thank you lovely strangers

    G.... L....

    Good luck! There's a pretty cool acroyoga community in Estonia btw!

  82. M.... ....

    عليه صوت !

  83. D.... W....

    What's his vocal range?

    D.... W....

    +Dick White I think he is considered a tenore spinto (tenore drammatico)

    D.... W....

    at least 3 i do think more plus he has a gorgeous falsetto. But what's more beautiful is himself in fact. not that important the notes he sings. and yes he's a lirico-spinto tenor.

  84. X.... Z....
