Destroyer - Savage Night At The Opera Lyrics






A savage night at the opera.
Another savage night at the club.
Let's face it, old souls like us are being born to die!
It's not a war till someone loses an eye!

Yes, I'm familiar with your scene.
Some would say, shockingly uptight.
21-gun salute to the Fallen Birds Of The Sky.
I heard their record, it's alright...
Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value...
Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value...
Hey, Mystic Prince Of The Purlieu At Night!
I heard your record, it's alright...

You'll never guess just what I've seen...
A horse abandoned midstream...
Quatrain etched on a dirtpile...
Quatrain etched, hey that's your style!

You'll never guess just where I've been...
A life abandoned midstream...
Quatrain etched on a turnstile...
Just set the loop and then go wild-
er...

Destroyer Savage Night At The Opera Comments
  1. B.... S....

    They must have shot this at the crack of oh-dark-hundred, because not a single cyclist on the streets of Vancouver? Unheard of!

  2. T.... E....

    Check out this song! https://youtu.be/KOWMdecEPtw

  3. A.... 6....

    I don't why, but this evokes the long play version of Take On Me by a-Ha in my mind.

  4. m.... w....

    what a song. what a video.

  5. M.... H....

    I don't know why but this song feels like a rendition of Bruce Cockburn's If Tree Falls.

  6. R.... S....

    Dude went through a few red lights the fuck

  7. N.... S....

    ბარარარამ ბამ ბამ ბარარარა :)))

  8. P.... O....

    ❤️🇵🇹

  9. B.... S....

    what city is this?

    B.... S....

    Vancouver

  10. S.... ....

    Bunny's snap anyone? 😂❤

    S.... ....

    Steffen Phareau yeah 😂😂

  11. c.... ....

    Impressive

  12. D.... H....

    That original film was kind of a hoax. He supposedly used his Mercedes and later dubbed the sounds of a Ferrari 275GTB (which is now a $3 million car) as the soundtrack. Great re-creation. What city is that? Vancouver?

  13. g.... ....

    Dan you are grandious!!

  14. H.... ....

    This is a knock off of an old film of a guy racing his car through paris and meeting a woman

  15. E.... P....

    Which city is this??

    E.... P....

    Vancouver

    E.... P....

    Vale Er I live a few blocks away from where the video started. It's a northern edge of Downtown Vancouver. I love the concept

    E.... P....

    I couldn't decide if this was Seattle or not until you saw the skyline at the end. I guess I was close. lol

  16. c.... ....

    niceee wasnt expecting it to be a girl love the reference to lelouche! that was perfect !

  17. C.... B....

    I hope the person driving the bike gets crashed into and then learns to respect a red light...

  18. L.... W....

    makes me feel like im playing burnout 3

  19. M.... B....

    Snow Patrol weren't "inspired" by the film, they just used the original footage as overlay footage for their track. Destroyer, on the other hand, created something new while paying homage to Lelouch's short.

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

    It's mean snow patrol inspirated by that film first !

  21. M.... A....

    Snow patrol is a copy. This one is just inspired by the original. I'm talking about the 1976 film by Lelouch

  22. B.... R....

    Snow patrol open your eyes video copy !!

  23. r.... ....

    Blatant rip off of OMD's "Enola Gay" ?

    r.... ....

    whose what?

  24. E.... ....

    ya i saw it

  25. C.... K....

    look at all of the bike lanes. somebody tell rahm emmanuel about this

  26. a.... ....

    Great song. Great band. Great city.

    a.... ....

    ajfazevedois city?

    a.... ....

    @BURNANNATOR SI SEÑOR Si Señor.

  27. b.... ....

    get this crappy quality vid the fugg outta here!

  28. M.... ....

    how did she get through all the red lights w/o going str8 to the morgue?

    M.... ....

    Because it's at sunrise. Very little traffic.

  29. r.... g....

    Prefab Sprout

  30. S.... H....

    I freaking love Vancouver, I freaking love Destroyer. Thus this video is one of my favorites.

  31. M.... R....

    bududum dum bododudum

  32. m.... ....

    Bitches like you make my insurance rates go up.

  33. J.... ....

    its so coincidence so many ways.. to you 3rd party people, YOU ALL KNOW IM COMPARABLE TO A- TAK.

  34. J.... ....

    I love this song, maybe also becus of the ride, Now I have to admit in a sexpsychomobile.

  35. F.... M....

  40. W.... D....

  42. V.... C....

    Fleet foxes

  43. E.... T....

    веќе цела година сте ми хит :)

  44. V.... ....

    Why? I mean is it considered really shitty here by people and I'm just unaware of it?

  45. J.... J....

    This actually made me miss vancouver. I didn't think that was possible.

  46. B.... ....

    Hey, Dan actually appeared in a video!

  47. f.... ....

    i looked at the comments and was like, ok so this guy runs a red light. no. he runs 50 in the first two minutes.

  48. C.... N....

  54. j.... ....

    the entire video i thought we were heading to lion's gate...

  55. A.... D....

  56. m.... ....

    it must be a dog driving that bike. "grey light. oh, cool, another grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. ......."

  57. a.... ....

    @Shadow67th yup, that's Vancouver for ya

  58. C.... ....

    @kapewaken - Yes, this is early, and it's awesome.

  59. k.... ....

  60. C.... ....

    Vancouver, Fuck yeah!

  61. P.... ....

    haha i like the twist at the end!

  62. J.... C....

    @kuubamies hehehe "Sweetie", it´s not ColUmbia (that´s in South Carolina, USA....)...it´s ColOmbia, ok?.... general knowledge quiz = 1; jokes: 0 :).

  63. R.... G....

    Vancouver, Motorcycle, Destroyer, it doesn't get any better than this!!!

    Amazing!!!

  64. R.... W....

    @pLasticiTic yip its cool though, makes you feel like youre on the bike.

  65. C.... S....

    very 'anticlimax' video. awesome song tho.

    C.... S....

    you didn't climax while watching it? Shame.

  66. G.... T....

    Here's the Paris original this is based on: youtube.com/watch?v=KO8gMXrrESk

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

    @Fivedots55 haa... wow

  68. W.... ....

    Great modern-day take on C'etait un rendezvous!

  69. B.... ....

    Exhaust note owns music!!

  70. t.... ....

    its would have been funny if the camera fell when she got of..... all that for nothing

    t.... ....

    Why on earth would it fall off then? It's a fixed GoPro style camera. More likely it would fall off while she's racing around, not when she's stopped.

  71. F.... ....

    music ruined it

  72. a.... ....

    @pLasticiTic yes and i wonder if they got caught running them.

  73. G.... ....

    In Canada, green means go, yellow means go faster, and red means look both ways before you go.

  74. b.... ....

    @ethereal2pt2 no... just no...

  75. T.... B....

    Great video. Shame the motorcycle ride was a bit bumpier than that of a Ferrari 275 GTB.

  76. B.... ....

    Damn Crazy

  77. n.... ....

    @pLasticiTic red lights without cameras are more of suggestions

  78. s.... l....

    can u pls take me with you?heheheh

  79. B.... ....

    Wow learn to drive.

  80. b.... ....

    why is so alone? almost no cars??

    b.... ....

    Sunrise. Not alot happening Downtown at that hour

  81. 1.... ....

    camera not shaking makes it a very nice video and also good music too. but why did you mount your camera so low? and why did you so many red lights?

  82. p.... ....

    Reckless Op

  83. f.... ....

    Good one, I like Rendezvous better, same thing, but through Paris with a much better soundtrack!

  84. b.... ....

    red and green must both mean "go" in canada...

  85. h.... ....

    i stopped this video halfway just so i could play grand theft auto

  86. J.... P....
