Bloc Party. - Zephyrus Lyrics






Backwards, forwards but making no ground at all
Standing in the city with the clocks counting one
And your face is still wet from the fight before
As your tears hit the ground, blue flowers spring from them
Baby, I'm ashamed of the things I put you through
Baby, I'm ashamed of the man I was for you

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

How fast must we run before we can just take off in flight?
How far must we run before they do not recognise us?
So let's take this from the start, you'll be me and I'll be you
And let's try not to complain about your smoking
And my distant heart
And my distant heart
And my distant heart

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

(Too many mirrors in this house)
(And I don't like to see myself like this)
(I'm becoming the man I used to be I guess)
(These walls could tell you a thing or two)
(Things that you really don't want to know)
(Lend me your eyes for your point of view)
(Lend me your feet and I'll stand up for you)

And all you said in your quietest voice
Was "I needed you as much as they do"

    L.... ....

  10. W.... J....

    I'm a distant heart :(

  11. S.... ....

    Céfiros, susurrando en mi auditivo órgano, claman y llaman tu nombre, ¿Deberé gritar ?

  12. J.... P....

    J.... P....

    +Jimmy Posey *sees something creative, original and unfamiliar* "lol is this on drugs"

  13. C.... D....

    These song is the only one i like from bloc.. it's sad because i think this group can do better than the other song :)

    C.... D....

    +Carpe Diem You do know Bloc Party have a shit load of songs? So many good songs its unreal!

  14. Y.... ....

    i really dont know how to say it, i hav no reasons to relate whit this song, but i feel it, such a great song

  15. p.... ....

    2:47 Eargasm. I drown in that part.

  16. J.... ....

    Zephyrus . God of the wind?

  17. T.... ....

    as long as bands dont change from nice thing to shit i agree with you !
    clearly not the case here.
    sry for bad english peace :)

  18. F.... y....

    I must say, this song was rather breezy.

  19. D.... B....

    Same with Radiohead.

  20. S.... G....

    I like this album much more than the previous ones, i haven't heard Four yet but im gonna. It's the same with Editors, the direction using synthesisers was perfect.

  21. E.... ....

    2:48

    THOSE ARENT GIRLS, HE'S JUSTIN AND HIS BOYFRIEND

  24. I.... ....

    Music fans are a fickle bunch.

  25. 1.... ....

    i wuv this song, everytime i go on my bro's xbox he has it on there, i put it on >>

  26. a.... ....

    "So let's take this from the start, you'll be me and I'll be you
    And let's try not to complain about your smoking
    And my distant heart"...

    best lyrics ever for a song with a "couple's debate" theme!!!

  27. D.... M....

    My god this song is so good, fuck!

  28. J.... ....

    how can you say they don't do songs like those any more? have you listened to 'talons' or 'one month off' ? I would agree that they have changed their style, but I personally enjoy this album as much as the previous ones :)

  29. P.... ....

    You guys! Bear with me here. I'm trying to fully understand. the title of this beautiful song. Zephyrus: the god of the west winds. He was also known for incidentally murdering a young spartan boy whom he loved in jealous fury (who was later turned into a BLUE larkspur flower) upon seeing him with another. So the title could not just be alluding to Zephyrus' ability to control wind (and therefore flight) but Kele's homoerotic tendency like in I still remember. This album is REALLY well done.

  30. G.... ....

    @MrILikeBreakdowns pretty sure they are guys :D

  31. P.... M....

    i have to say, i am disappointed that Bloc party didn't stick to the silent alarm sound, bu i support all of their decisions

  32. i.... ....

    @Schmitti112233 fuck genres. so glad they do whatever sounds good

  33. M.... ....

    @drbuk96 All music is electronic but 'electro' is a genre distinction. Electro prominently features the use of drum machines and the vocals are usually rather contorted via vocoding. A good example would be Kraftwerk.

  34. s.... ....

    @drbuk96
    Electro is actually a genre in itself, and this definitely isn't electro...electronic yes, electro no

  35. d.... ....

    @seanbharper What's the difference between the two?

  36. s.... ....

    I hate to be annoying but this is NOT elcetro, electronic yes, electro no. Listen to like The Bloody Beetroots or something, they're electro. And I also think that this is one of the best songs ever written :D

  37. A.... L....

    JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thanks :)

  38. M.... ....

    i like it! i like different~!

  39. M.... H....

    My Bloc Party Obsession Continues....

    M.... H....

    same here! :-)

  40. C.... k....

    @0mega75 they didn't really change their music style completely, only in intimacy are the songs more electro.because in their four album deal, they made it so that each member of the band gets to put their own influences into the album. intimacy features more of Matt's influences(from an interview). so they are still a guitar based band and not an electronic based band. but i agree, i hope in their next album they will have more songs similar to the older songs like tulips, two more years, etc.

  41. S.... ....

    I enjoy the progression of their albums. Listening to B sides like Skeleton or The Marshalls are Dead through to Compliments and tulips to this shows their talent and diversity. I think they are a great band and personally, i would like their next album to go back to their roots...

  42. T.... D....

    @evanescencerawks true. Theres also style change for financial reasons. I have a lot of respect for Kele Okereke who went solo for a bit to experiment as an artist. I do like the electro house, just as much as indie rock

  43. t.... j....

    @tonydibs007 - but there's such thing as a style change for the worse, of course some people will prefer the change, but those that fell in love with the original style are likely to not like the change and will then comment on how they don't like the change in sound. Can't really tell people to like the new stuff if they just don't.

  44. T.... D....

    people talk a lot about how bands change their styles, like its a bad thing. I've got a lot of respect for bands who just want to be creative and try new things. Isn't that what art is?

  45. K.... M....

    i like tulips better

  46. d.... g....

    one of there best songs there are

  47. S.... ....

    @0mega75
    i guess kele cant put all his ideas in indie... so to be really creative he moves between the genres or maybe just doesnt care about them. i think thats great and im pretty shure there will be nother more indierock like album.

  48. P.... B....

    great song, favourite from intimacy =D

  49. a.... ....

    @99haymaker99 Yieeeha :D

  50. A.... H....

    @1Jessicahenley what, even though its two girls? :/

  51. T.... ....

    @0mega75 yeah i noticed they totally switched to a dark techno and i liked them for their upbeat rock and a lot of awesome guitar work so when i picked this album up i was confused

  52. T.... ....

    Could Bloc Party possibly be an awesomer band and yes i just made up a word to describe the greatness that is the music of the british band Bloc Party.

  53. R.... ....

    @0mega75 its only an hiatus.

  54. Y.... N....

    I never heard of these dudes until I was shopping at Pacsun I had to remember the lyrics to find these dudes and I love it this is music that should be promoted more

  55. F.... Y....

    the only thing i hate about this song is that there's no awesome riffs by russell

  56. M.... M....

    Hammer x)

  57. b.... ....

    very nice sound, good song. my favorite of them

  58. p.... ....

    @fightclub1537
    it really is incredible.
    the amount of empathy his voice is bringing forth is just out of this world.
    this coupled with the incredible lyrics and the amazing drus and guitar sounds makes it by far my favourite band ^^

  59. D.... ....

    I think that Kele has purposed the change of the genre 'cause now we can see what is doing alone...in a way this is an innovation but i prefer so much the mark left with the firsts two albums and especially the band togheter.

  60. S.... B....

    I really like the old...Roman-esque chanting.

  61. M.... M....

    Beautiful song love the background singing

  62. M.... M....

    @0mega75 music ,people,bands changed as well as the sound they create the magic of music it grows with you songs u loved at 13 dont appeal to you anymore apparently they changed either change with them of find a new band buddy lol

  63. M.... M....

    wow my ears are cumming...is that as gross as it sounds?

  64. m.... ....

    One of my few favourites from Intimacy. This is the only thing I can cling to as hope that I'll enjoy Kele's solo album. Mercury not so much

  65. K.... ....

    @0mega75 shows how good they are that they can change their style and still make fooking amazing records. They will never be able to make another silent alarm, epic album from start to finish. i think Intimacy is a more mature and deep album

  66. K.... ....

  67. A.... o....

    I just love the bloc

  68. m.... j....

    that beat is so..fucking dark. man i love it

  69. S.... ....

    I literally froze up when I heard this beat... Such a bizarre club style rhythm... Great song. Better Than Heaven shares the same darkness as this one

  70. S.... ....

    electro isnt their genre now , its only an influence :D if u hear all songs on their album intimacy then u will find some songs like helicopter or banquet^^

  71. D.... ....

    epic ass song...

  72. w.... ....

    I sung this song at a showcase. The audience never heard of Bloc Party before I sung that. They loved it

  73. e.... ....

    This song is perfect and spectacular.

  74. m.... h....

    i love this song. fav song !

  75. m.... ....

    LOVE IT AAAH!;D

  76. K.... K....
