Fiona Apple - Container Lyrics






I was screaming into the canyon
At the moment of my death
The echo I created
Outlasted my last breath

My voice it made an avalanche
And buried a man I never knew
And when he died his widowed bride
Met your daddy and they made you

I have only one thing to do and that's
To be the wave that I am and then
Sink back into the ocean

I have only one thing to do and that's
To be the wave that I am and then
Sink back into the ocean

I have only one thing to do and that's
To be the wave that I am and then
Sink back into the ocean

Sink back into the o
Sink back into the ocean
Sink back into the o
Sink back into the ocean
Sink back into the ocean

    it`s wonderful! where i can take minus version to sing it myself?

  2. F.... K....

    My husband loves when I sing this song I don't no why but he say I sound calm

  3. U.... K....

    Been binge-watching The Affair and never get tired of the theme tune, although I've been singing "be the way that I am" instead of wave.

  4. L.... M....

    Begging for a parody.

  5. R.... 2....

    I am getting sooo hooked on this show!!

  6. R.... 2....

    I have only one to do and that's be the wave that I am and then sink back into the ocean 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

  7. S.... K....

    It's the job of Hollywood to make us humans feel like our life is a wave. Just here to make a splash, crash, and poof, you're gone and your life was pretty meaningless. That's a lie! We are all created by God The Almighty and our lives have huge purpose! Find yourself in Him.

  8. D.... J....

    Love this song.

  9. B.... ....

    A beautiful summation of the story.

  10. A.... ....

    Why is this song so awesome

  11. D.... H....

    Beautiful melody & lyrics

  12. I.... ....

    anyone knows any similar songs?

  13. J.... B....

    Amazing one minute song. But I would love another verse. Please.

  14. S.... P....

    Sorry Alison I love you, but we cudn have an affair. All I do is listen to this song...

  15. k.... ....

    This song pretty much sums up "The Affair". Allison was the wave.

    k.... ....

    They wrapped up the series finale pretty nicely. I’ve watched this series with consternation and mixed feelings when it started but over time learned to like it.

    It was bittersweet to see the old Noah dancing after reading to the grave of Helen . Beautiful ending.

  16. S.... ....

    This song is so deep and dark.. kinda touching the inner soul in a very gut wrenching way.... love it.

  17. P.... ....

    thx Taylor

  18. a.... m....

    I hate how short it is. It's like i have to play it over and over like i wasn't listening to it hard enough!

  19. R.... E....

    I find Fiona´s voice similar to Alison´s and that makes it more moving, because of the role of the ocean in the series

  20. �.... �....

    Grate film.Grate song.

  21. E.... L....

    The begining of this song gives me so strong shivers. It paints a powerful picture in my mind. Just love it. Tho wish it was longer 😍

    E.... L....

    Emilia Lahtinen me too. I wish Fiona would write and sing another 2 verses.

  22. K.... A....

    This song is terribly irritating.

  23. T.... S....

    RIP Alison :(

    T.... S....

    why would you write this spoiler? why?

    T.... S....

    @Teo Meliashvili she dies????????????

  24. F.... B....

    again, will you stay at my side in the court?

  25. D.... S....

    Incredible Fiona, as always. The percussion is so haunting as well.

  26. h.... ....

    Great song but used for a stupid show, has cool pirate/fantasy vibes

  27. T.... G....

    Three things
    1. Awesome story even without the music accompaniment
    2. It's interesting how Fiona sounded like Beyonce in the first line and Miley Cyrus in the "avalanche" lines
    3. If someone wants to analyze the "ocean" bit below, be my guest

  28. j.... c....

    kd a tradução em portugues Brasil?!?!

  29. j.... f....

    Best soundtrack to divorce I've found (without being cruel). Elle s'y tient tourjours

  30. M.... k....

    Must be the best and most poetic lyrics I've heard in a great long while.

  31. S.... W....

    I never read the comments on any of these .... guess I shouldn't have .... bc while there are the smart, tasteful Fiona fans here.... the fucking ignorant shallow , close minded fucks who waste our time , and theirs... with the negativity really get me so fired up, yet still I feel sorry for shallow one way close minded fucks whom have no understanding of just what a Complete genius she is with words, I could go on for infinity for her

  32. A.... K....

    this part of the song are really amazingly influential... touched u deep down inside... made u feel somehow in another world .... pure perfect, well sang too... love it

  33. L.... V....

    ESPECTACULAR

  34. s.... ....

    this song is shit. its like, anti music.

    s.... ....

    Well I mean everyone has a opinion.

    s.... ....

    and i think sparkyinbath that you are a shit antiperson

    s.... ....

    +sparkynbath Actually, I really love this song

    s.... ....

    Then why are you listening?

    s.... ....

    I think it sounds more like spoken poetry than a song you can bob your head to. For that reason, I agree it's a bit unnerving to listen to. But, I also think it's cool how the melody matches the words. Like she sounds out of breath when she sings "last breath." "Death" is followed by a long pause. Also the part about waves is sung in a round. So, it's a bit like Fransisco Goya's "Saturn Devouring his Son" painting in that it wasn't created to look or sound comforting. After all, "Art Should Comfort the Disturbed and Disturb the Comfortable" ~ Cesar A. Cruz

  35. D.... i....

    Very nice music in this series by Fiona Apple and Marcelo Zarvos.

  36. B.... B....

    This song is more amazing each time I listen to it. It's pure poetry that infuses your soul. Can't get enough of it or the show.

    B.... B....

    It's the most beautiful poetry and the perfect voice. I get a strange sort of spiritually peaceful high every time I hear it. Still waiting to love the show though!

  37. N.... P....

    I wish there was a longer version :(

    N.... P....

    There is a longer version Nichole. Search "Container" on YouTube and you'll find it. It's wonderful. This song has gotten under my skin. Love it!

    N.... P....

    +Barbara Blume I couldn't find longer version :o Or do you mean the remixes? Found at least two remixes of this song...

    N.... P....

    https://youtu.be/AravBmGCX8Y

    N.... P....

    I came here to say the same.

    N.... P....

    I totally agree with you 👍🏿

  38. L.... ....

    ***************ATTENTION SPOILER**************

    the more I listen this lyrics the more I think they are completely linked to the story
    I think how "the ocean" occurs so often in the plot
    Alison's baby is drowned in the water; she spoke about the galleon sunken in the ocean; she can't swim but It seems she feels she belongs to the ocean...
    not to mention the fact that she is a widow bride

    L.... ....

    SPOILER ALERT!!! The man she never knew was her kid, and when the kid die she felt she die with him..and the baby she is talking in the song is her and Nola son! O.O

    L.... ....

    Alison is not a widow

    L.... ....

    She did sink back into the ocean...

    L.... ....

    Alison was never a widow..her both husband never died.

    Questa è la traduzione che son riuscita a fare,spero possa esserti utile :)
    Stavo urlando nel canyon al momento della mia morte. L'eco che ho creato ha fatto sopravvivere il mio ultimo respiro. La mia voce ha generato una valanga e sepolto un uomo che non ho mai conosciuto, e quando è morto la sua sposa vedova ha incontrato il tuo papà e loro ti hanno creato. Ho solo una cosa da fare ed è di essere l'onda che sono e poi sprofondare di nuovo in mare.

    A.... T....

    direi ottima ;)
     grazie!!

    A.... T....

    L'eco che ho creato è sopravvissuto al mio ultimo respiro (è durato più a lungo di me) e sprofondare di nuovo nell'oceano. ;)

  41. S.... ....

    Grande pezzo, spero rilasci la versione completa! Grazie per il testo, ma le traduzione non le fate più? 

    S.... ....

    Hai ragione. spero che si possa ascoltare una long version...
    Per le traduzioni....prometto di rimettermi al lavoro ;)
