Bowie, David - Within You Lyrics






How you turn my world
You precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me

Everything I've done
I've done for you
I move the stars for no one

You've run so long
You've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
Oh I do believe in you
Yes I do

Live without your sunlight
Love without your heartbeat
I, I can't live within you
I can't live within you

I, I can't live within you

    Ok let's be honest for a second DAVID BOWIE WAS HOT AS HELL IN THIS.

  4. C.... J....

    Easily the best song from the movie. Yes Magic Dance Underground and As the world falls down are all amazing.....but this. Sinister, powerful, intimidating, yet has its moments of romance and softness. Really shows who Jarreth was as a character

  5. G.... R....

    One thing the right side to me gets wrong out of all the right I see they know it's the feeling! they don't get it's choice everywhere and no just fact but permeant the way you feel and is more then any fact.kim makeing no more bombs proves it.even the lil person "don't be fools no kid has rights here your parents do is all that is"even if they don't vote will always be considered as the one man that rules his entire country.no one in my eyes will be allowed to cross Kim in the name of the United States.you walk alone to that man and face his county with out my help here or anywhere else.the US underground has a new president and I'm not going to war for anything.even if my kids die.hint the only way to kill me is them.ill kill myself before I condemn any ones children cus my died.mite as well be me dead.

  6. S.... S....

    TOBY!!!!

    S.... M....

  16. A.... ....

    Who listening in 2019 ????

  17. m.... d....

    In time a long ago a sorcerer named Jareth fell in love with a girl named Sarah. Sarah's father and stepmother would not let her marry Jareth because they wanted to keep her as a servant, to care for their other child. In a fit of rage terrorist kidnapped this other child and Spirited Away to the fairy world. In this new world jareth built a Palace for his Sarah. He turned the spoiled child into a goblin, and kept it to be a servant.

    Many stories of the fairy world tell us that time moves differently there than in our world ( Rip Van Winkle for one). In the time it took for Jared to build his kingdom, which he may have thought was a little more than a few years, Sarah grew old and died.

    Overcome by grief and addled by a lifetime spent in This Strange World filled with monsters, jareth goes mad. He refuses to believe that you've lost the love of his life. He searches the mortal world from his castle, looking for her.

    Sarah is a Hebrew name. So, it is common, and has been used for thousands and thousands of years. It does not take him long to find a dark haired girl named Sarah, who has a younger sibling, and who feels that she treated unfairly by her stepmother.

    This is how jareth becomes the Goblin King. Every Goblin in Goblin city is a child jareth has stolen, who was not recovered by Sarah. (He told the current Sarah that Toby would become a goblin if she did not find him in time).
    This is why he builds the maze. Matchbox, the junkyard of useless Treasures, all the tricks to slow down Sarah. Because if he can only have his Sarah for the time it takes for her to regain the stolen child, he will make it as long as possible, keep her as long as possible.
    This is why there exists in our world of books containing the story. Because this has happened before. So many times, at some point some lucky Sarah must have returned to our world to tell a story.
    This is why when the most recent Sarah first meets Hoggle at the start of the labyrinth, and introduces herself; " I'm Sarah", Hoggle responds, "that's what I figured."
    Because of course she's Sarah
    They we're all Sarah
    Edit: this is also why when she met ludo, he said "Sarah freind"

    m.... d....

    Holy fuck dude

    m.... d....

    Wow! Amazing theory.

  18. V.... B....

    I had a small crush on david bowie when i saw the labyrinth.

    V.... B....

    only small?

    V.... B....

    Ay who didn't?

  19. M.... P....

    I hope no one ever tries to recreate this movie. It would never come close to being as good 🤞

  20. R.... B....

    😭🖤💔

  21. a.... ....

    Childhood memories, being fat but getting slimmer as time passes, now I'm tall and skinny as nogla, jesus I miss David Bowie, BRING HIM BACK! 😢😩😭😭

  22. R.... T....

    2 percent on my phone and I'm listening to this song 😅

  23. A.... P....

    Oh, no he knows something that I don't

  24. L.... E....

    Still an amazing song / October 2019

  25. P.... ....

    "Your eyes can be so cruel just as I can be so cruel". Her ideology (suburban so-so living that prizes guaranteed safety and respectability over passion and expicit power) can be just as cruel as what he can potentially do. His ideology isn't itself cruel - it's romantic and based on an explicit class system. By comparison, Sarah's world i.e. her parents generation, pretends there is no meaningful class system, as if pay grades, social circles and suburban houses that are petty fortresses against the real world, as if they don't count. Their implicit class system is far more dangerous in real terms than Jareth's.

    P.... ....

    d a n g

  26. C.... B....

    RIP David Bowie

  27. R.... P....

    ok so a few years back, my 8th-grade art teacher showed us this movie. I'm in 11th now




    I'm not afraid to say I still love this movie, even if the rest of my generation doesn't know/understand it.

    R.... P....

    I'm in 8th grade and i think pretty same

  28. G.... T....

    It pains me to know the amazing movie bombed in the box office back in 1986. Such an great film! ☺️

  29. M.... D....

    Favourite film forever and always! ❤️

  30. D.... O....

    Pained and extravagant. BOWIE 86 GOLD!

  31. T.... ....

    Oh I love this song, and part in the movie.

  32. D.... V....

    Found this on VHS unopened at 1/2 price books yesterday.......
    Had too buy it and I don't even have a VCR.

  33. F.... T....

    I think he was trying to tell her that he loved her but at the same time he was trying to fight his feelings for her. So sad. ❤❤

  34. S.... t....

    This sound like a song you could put in any movie were the good guy separates from everyone to face the bad guy

  35. B.... P....

    Mr. Bowie lives within us. He said so.

  36. B.... P....

    Jim Henson the legend. I have him to thank for my childhood aspirations of faeries and goblins and my magical worlds. Thank you to Mr. Bowie for bringing it to life!

  37. B.... P....

    "Your eyes can be so cruel, just as I can be so cruel."

  38. P.... W....

    Saddest song in science fiction history

  39. C.... ....

    This movie would've blown chunks without Bowie

    C.... ....

    If Bowie had turned the part down, Micheal Jackson would have been offered it instead

  40. Y.... Y....

    Rest in Peace and thank you for this song ❤️❤️

  41. G.... ....

    The way they portray his love is amazing. I love a good villain who doesn't know how to handle being in his feelings over someone. He's a king of monsters, a powerful man, with subjects who are terrified of him. And yet? This girl, this human girl of only 14 years to his decades (if not centuries) confuses him, interests him. He doesn't know why she does this to him or what he's feeling or how it happened. But all of a sudden, he's reduced to a boy with a crush. It embarrasses him, so he lashes out, and in an attempt to retain his power and dignity, he tries to play things off as a king demanding his prize. And even when he has every advantage, this enthralling young girl beats him. He is powerless. And I love the lyric, "I can't live within you." It poses so many questions. We know that this is all Sarah's imagination, right? But, what if it's not that simple? This suggests he is aware that he is a fantasy, and he can't stand it. He needs to be so much more than just her villain. He wants to be real to her. He loves her so much, that being part of her story can never be enough. Every time I hear that sigh, I can feel Jareth's pain, his aching heart, how badly he just wants Sarah to return his love. He genuinely doesn't understand how to win her, but he can feel that he's wrong to try to manipulate her. He is a twisted, egocentric tyrant who is finally understanding his horrible ways because as soon as he loves someone, he realizes that the way he usually acts is a way he would NEVER want to act towards them. We didn't get this chance to see this in the movie, but he really would've done absolutely anything for her. He'd be a better man. He just made too many mistakes and didn't learn fast enough, and now he has to live with it.

    G.... ....

    Amazing.👍🏽👏🏽

    G.... ....

    It really also shows his type of warped love. In his mind Sarah would be his possession "I ask for so little, just let me rule you and you can have everything you want, just fear me, love me do as I say and I will be your slave", emotional and psychological abuse at its finest, bend to my will and the image I see you as, and I will be your everything. He doesn't want her love, he wants her soul, her free will. He ruled over everything in the goblin city and the labyrinth, Sarah would have been no exception. Then finally when Sarah realized he had no power over her, Jareth like all narcissists little world of control over another person, came crashing down around him.

    G.... ....

    *Well damn.*

    G.... ....

    In the books he actually goes back to her I the human world and tries to win her heart. So sad we didn't get a part 2

    G.... ....

    Genevieve, could you write my English final?

  42. A.... S....

    You don't see genre-defying fantasy like this anymore.

  43. N.... t....

    Tell me why I can imagine Itachi Uchiha singing this to Sasuke.

    in a brotherly way. of course.

    but sadly.

    N.... t....

    Sad to say, I can see it too. I wonder if Genjutsu can be used to cause musical numbers...

    N.... t....

    @GamingDemigodXIII If so, it's time to get tissues because it's gonna be sad

    N.... t....

    One problem. Itachi would move the stars for his brother.

    N.... t....

    @MatthiasTheWanderer yes he would :(

  44. F.... F....

    Jareth > Edward.

    F.... F....

    Jar Jar Binks > Edward. )))

  45. D.... E....

    Great Song!

  46. A.... A....

    0:48 is my favorite part

  47. *.... R....

    This movie will never be topped it is a masterpiece

    *.... R....

    I always wanted to write a sequel starring Toby as a teen experiencing the labyrinth with a new antagonist, but I'm unsure if I could recreate the magic of the subtext and themes that the original captures so well.

  48. T.... T....

    T.... T....

    David Bowie was the man who had awoken me sexually at a young age. I remember looking at me at the tv screen and just getting this warm fuzzy feeling literally through my whole body & now being 19. I know that it's called being "turned on"

    K.... G....

    It was a sexy man at his absolute sexiest, who wouldn't be turned on?

    K.... G....

    ME TOO! When i was 8 haha

    K.... G....

    Omg yess hahah he was my first kinda of crush

    K.... G....

    Gosh I'm definitely more dense than Harry Potter. I'd definitely not know what was that called.

  53. C.... C....

    I thought David Bowie was so hot when I was really little and watched this movie with my sister, XD I miss those days

    C.... C....

    @Sarah Núñez isn't he dead now though? o.O
    I thought he died a while back

    C.... C....

    @Thomas Baron Yea, he died of lung cancer in Janurary 2016, 2 days after his 69th birthday.

    C.... C....

    Coral Covert omg me to had major crush lol

    C.... C....

    @I'm dead No, it wasn't lung cancer, it was liver cancer

    C.... C....

    @Kinga Golik Sorry, my bad.

  54. H.... D....

    This movie...it was the original and ultimate teenage fantasy romance fanfiction. And I mean that in genuinely the best way possible.

    The girl, in over her head, attempting to resist the undeniable lure and attraction of what amounts to a faerie lord, in order to save her baby brother.

    The Goblin King himself, infatuated with the beautiful creature that has entered his realm and life, but with no idea how to make it his own. Ultimatums, force, begging, nothing seeming to work, even when he had all the cards.

    And of course the catalyst for this ever happening, the child held ransom. The thing that brought these two entirely different beings together, and yet keeps them apart.

    Like...I know that all of this couldn't possibly in the writers' heads all the time when writing this, but they managed to create such a beautiful story, and an intricately-woven romance both all too similar and simply alienated from human experience. This movie's always been an inspiration for me. And the staircase scene, with this song playing, has to be the most powerful part of it all, where all of that culminates into a bloodless, yet incredibly tense climax.

    ....Sue me, I'm a fanboy.

    H.... D....

    Me fuckin too man. I grew up on these fantasies, I know who Sarah is. Being enthralled with magick and monsters, the endless possibilities, the beauty of a strange world. Terror being part of the fun, the philosophical awakenings brought on by childish lessons of friendships and never giving up, the euphoric romance of a good adventure. The world we see through Sarah is her journey through the book Labyrinth. That's what it's like; you don't even see the words after a while. They blur, and instead its you, the characters, you're in that world and you're a part of the magick. And they stay with you for life. Lots of my childhood friends are just font on paper. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Labyrinth and is timeless.

    H.... D....

    If you ever write a labryinth fanfic I want to read it!!

    H.... D....

    Herr Doktor von Nuremberg yeeeeeeees

    H.... D....

    @Itzhoney how can a god die? 😢

  61. R.... B....

    Yes, yes and more yes.

  62. k.... k....

    Considering the theory the movie is secretly about losing virginity then this song represents balls deep also you can feel it in the power of the song.

    k.... k....

    Whete did you hear that theory? That's actually very interesting.

    k.... k....

    Sounds like how everyone thinks spirited away is about sex workers, and Miyazaki was like "what? No, what the hell are y'all on about???"
    Freud would have a feild day with y'all.

    k.... k....

    Bitch, where did you heard about this theory ! I’m interested, tell me more ! 🤗

    k.... k....

    i didn't think it was specifically about losing her virginity, more her sexual awakening

  63. K.... S....

    God why
