IAMX - Ghosts Of Utopia Lyrics






You are haunted by the turmoil of your lives
Walking circles, crossing lines
And it is tearing up your souls, of this fury
Jumping hurdles, just to abide

You are drowning in the sorrow of a billion opinions
Nobody can hear you
Nobody can hear you
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is the jigsaw blown apart

You are the ghost of Utopia
You're the conquered stars, the divided hearts
You are the ghost of Utopia
You're the miracle of America

Every time you learn you don't regret
All your hurting, all your debts
Cause the wife and kids won't help you to forget
The emergency of your secrets and your trash

You are drowning in the sorrow of a billion opinions
Nobody can hear you
Nobody can hear you
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is the jigsaw blown apart

You are the ghosts of Utopia
You're the conquered scars, the divided hearts
You are the ghost of Utopia
You're the miracle of America

You are drowning in the sorrow of a billion opinions
Nobody can hear you
Nobody can hear you
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is psychosis
This is psychosis

  15. I.... K....

    This is the best I've ever seen. I'm hypnotized by these eyes. IAMX'ed 

  16. d.... ....

    gay porn at 1:32

    d.... ....

    Oh es verdad

  17. O.... P....

    Awesome <3

  18. �.... �....

    как же он шикарен <3

  19. h.... N....

    the androgynous image, sexuality, drugs, etc is something he shows because he directly likes it or its more something he wants to "talk about" with his music? for example, Ogre from skinny puppy dresses with blood for people to notice animal cruelty and things like that 

  20. J.... L....

    I accidentally discovered that there's hidden porn in this video. If you pause exactly at 1:32 there's a picture of two guys doing it. Awesome.

  21. W.... ....

    Yes, the Swatika too, crying children and president shown like some kind of ...
    You will see this only if you download this video and go frame by frame start at 1:29 to 1:35.
    Chris is true artist.

  22. d.... l....

    God this music is fucken sick, why haven't I found IAMX sooner?!

  23. H.... I....

    I saw a Swatika somewhere in it. xD

  24. W.... ....

    At 1:32 I think, I saw Obama?

  25. e.... ....

    yea I must admit it too. and i'm not ashamed. fkin briliantly sexy this guy

  26. m.... ....

    too much estrogen on this video :P

  27. T.... ....

    I cannot explain how much this song resonates with me at this moment.

  28. S.... C....

    except for Austra

  29. R.... F....

    Kinda flashy for me. There needs to be an Epilepsy warning on it.

  30. a.... ....

    I have not felt this way since "Splinter" and still to this day i have not listened to "Bloodsport" - (blasphemy i know) - but i am an addict - i get addicted to moods - and this is how i get addicted!

  31. a.... ....

    As much as i am excited about the release of the new IAMX album "The Unified Field" this week, just like every other IAMX fan obviously is, i am also well and truly still so deeply immersed in "Volatile Times" and will be for god knows how long yet, and i feel not quite terrified but afraid never the less, and almost selfishly ashamed and ungrateful as i do not want anything from IAMX that is not from this same "Volatile Times" mood that i am still so deeply immersed in to ever vary this feeling

  32. a.... ....

    This is unfortunately the only IAMX music video that is available to be bought in Australian Apple iTunes. And as a collector of great contemporary art, and with music videos being one of my favorite forms of art, i obviously purchased this music video for my art collection for only $2.59 (and later free in "Volatile Times Deluxe Edition"). As it's cheaper to pay and own a music video off Apple iTunes than it is to play it over and over again 'for free' and be charged expensive data usage costs.

  33. C.... ....

    chris corner needs to get in my bed

  34. D.... ....

    Chris
    Your hair
    Let me touch it. ;-;

  35. H.... ....

    That is because this is not music, It is sex for your ear hole.

  36. H.... ....

    I don't know... Imogen Heap is pretty strange, but very real.

  37. N.... M....

    this is persian language ;)

  38. M.... ....

    You are the ghosts of utopia..

  39. l.... ....

    i really like his look in this video though (and obviously the song as well)

  40. M.... C....

    Chris, you and Whitey should do a track together. I think my brain would implode if that happened, since you two are my favourite musicians right now.

  41. A.... R....

    He's Bisexual according to him.

  42. a.... ....

    Man, whenever I see Chris's face I think of dita Von teese. They'd make the perfect couple

  43. P.... ....

    and let's keep it that way

  44. O.... ....

    "This is this"??

  45. O.... ....

    True.. I've honestly never thought much of his preference..

    I LOVE HIS ART !!

    (I'm a fan)

  46. O.... ....

    <3 ! <3

  47. O.... ....

    What scene?
    The "indie"-scene??. :- )

  48. O.... ....

    I feel you man..

  49. o.... ....

    I respect chris because unlike other "bizzare" artists out there, he does not have a team that designs his aesthetic nor writes his music. he is real, and that is why I love him.

  50. R.... K....

    coole!

  51. L.... u....

    Havent listen to it in ages! This is this and Chris is so beautiful here.

  52. L.... u....

    He says he's straight but who knows if not bisexual ;)

  53. r.... ....

    definitely not gay. for the rest, we fans don't know.. and honestly don't care, we love him for his art

  54. A.... E....

    Now we are three.

  55. c.... ....

    Oh my word, he is verrrryyyy handsome.

    I wanna lock him in my basement.

  56. C.... ....

    I love you, Chris.

  57. O.... ....

    this is Janine and she's in the band.

  58. T.... S....

    Can somebody help clarify who the chick is in this video?

  59. R.... A....

    artits..haha...tits

  60. A.... ....

    Ok, I've been listening to some of his earlier songs because he's new to me. I just listened to one, "You Sick It In Me", and I have a question. Is he gay, straight, or bisexual? I thought he had a girlfriend at one time.

  61. F.... ....

    O_O chis is 38! He's old enough to be my father but gosh he's HOT~

  62. M.... ....

    I maybe worry too much but just in case. I love his art, yet somehow I wonder about this song. I mean for the first. When youre in psychosis, yes its hard, but you dont darkens, or rip yourself apart. Its more like you heal yourself to the ground with softness and love. And gratitude towards others. And then you leave that world very quickly. With help from others. When youre mentally sick, everybody sees you are, you are no danger, cause youre too sick and helpless to be danger!

  63. M.... ....

    Ok, somebody really please help me? Is he against psychosis? :0

  64. b.... ....

    @ Sophi Schaddelee: omg, i wrote something wrong.......O-0 i am gonna kill myself now......

  65. T.... H....

    This song is amazing and the video is so great made visually that you could almost split in frame-by-frame and put on the wall or in an art gallery.

  66. t.... ....

    This is truly amazing. <3

  67. A.... ....

    What's an Artit?

  68. S.... ....

    the beginning of the song reminds me of antoher gothic song... does somebody now?

  69. r.... ....

    @butterbread1000 I think it's because VEVO makes artists censor their videos, and a lot of artists don't want to censor their art, because they don't deem their art controversial or wrong like mainstream does

  70. M.... M....

    this is great i just found this band today through a friend this is simply amazing
    not to mention the singer is really hot

  71. X.... G....

    I love their modern sound intertwined with their addictive melodies, and I love how Chris Corner is so fierce and fearless in their videos.

  72. A.... E....

    Better than manson,

  73. H.... ....

    да это же Дан Балан!!!!))))))

  74. C.... R....

    fantastic...as always

  75. E.... K....

    É necessário para uma musica ter ainda mais sucesso ter VEVO atrás do nome!

  76. �.... T....

    Gay porn in 1:33. Ha ha ha. :P

  77. 6.... ....

    This is actually pretty amazing!

  78. A.... s....

    Chris isn't going to sell out guys. He might get a little more edgy, a little less brooding, but IAMX will always have the same romantic sublime appeal. This isn't angry music, or even angsty music. It isn't sad music for the reason that there is too much beauty in the world to be eternally sad or forlorn. It's melancholy music; and I think that's why people like it. It's music for the deep souls who have existed in this world long enough to experience it's depth and character.

  79. l.... d....

    40 dislikes no way!!,FUCK ALL U!

  80. E.... ....

    CHRIS, Y U SO PRETTY

  81. b.... ....

    "and the wife and kids wont help you to forget the emergency of your secrets and your trash"....!
    --> the crying child
    --> the two guys fucking

    maybe this line describes the situation of a married guy with wife and children, whos gay ("the emergency of your secrets".....) and can just "live" his real feelings undercover (in a "utopia") ??????????

  82. C.... ....

    @Ragnhild71 furtively we can see babies crying and gay porno on the same picture... if it was a message I think it does'n enjoy me.

  83. m.... ....

    This has nothing to do with how amazing the song is (though I do love it) - but does anyone else totally adore Chris' hair in this'/ o.o

  84. L.... W....

    Chris Corner turns me gay, no kidding!

  85. R.... G....

    pure art

  86. f.... ....

    PoWeRfUL and BeAuTiFuL.He really is talented!!!

  87. A.... D....

    старый, добрый, любимый IAMX... ))

  88. E.... E....

    @proudblond So true! And your english was great =)

  89. F.... ....

    @Pikachai Yep. It was going into the fire though, so that's how I'll interpret it.

  90. n.... ....

    wow, its brilliant. The writings on the wall around him is in persian, and the lyrics make a picture of Iran today. So many parts of the lyric refers to sarcasm in Iranian society, deprivation of women, and the most brilliant part is the miracle of America, which obviously refers to Iranian islamic revolution in 1979 that has been indirectly supported by America. Someother musicians, such as Bono, have somehow supported Iran, but none has ever pictured something like this before.

  91. b.... ....

    strange, but the REAL artits here do NOT have a "VEVO"- channel......

  92. �.... ....

    @Faren626 What do they say?

  93. V.... ....

    aha, I saw their cd in the store. I seriously thought it was a metal band, but hey! I'm not disappointed, it's pretty awesome.

  94. S.... M....

    @proudblond there is no excuse for being french... LOL, just kidding, i love france, the language, the food, the everything! And yes, Iamx should be a dirty little secret!

  95. P.... ....

    Euh, par contre il y a une croix gammée sur la gauche à 1:30 / there is a nazi cross at 1:30, did someone already see that ?

  96. F.... A....

    You can see writings in Persian on the walls! it's awesome!!

  97. u.... ....

    @proudblond you are damn right! ;)

  98. R.... ....

    @ChrisLostInParadise The swastika and the outstretched hand,
    or something completely different?
