Knife, The - A Lung Lyrics






I'm a crusader
I'm the darkest lady
I'm the taste on your tongue

I'm Darth Vader
I know what I'm made of
'Cause I was warmed by the sun
The sun

You're looking for me
But it's not what you seek
'Cause I've got a twisted personality

You're a crusader
You're the darkest lady
I like the taste of your tongue

You are Darth Vader
I know what you're made of
And you were warmed by the sun
By the sun
By the sun
The sun

And I'm looking for you
And I'm glad I found me
A special kind of personality

When the spark goes out of you
It grows ten times bigger in me
I am your lung

I'm Darth Vader
I know what I'm made of
'Cause I was warmed by the sun
By the sun
The sun
The sun

I was looking for you
I'm not glad I found me
A special kind of personality

Yes, you are the crusader
You are the lady
I want to chase your tongue

You are Darth Vader
I know what you're made of
You are like a lung
A lung
A lung
A lung

(And you were warmed by the sun) You're looking for me
(By the sun) But it's not what you seek
(By the sun) I've got a twisted personality
By the sun

You're looking for me
But it's not what you seek
I've got a twisted personality (A special kind of personality)

    "When the spark goes out of you, It grows ten times bigger in me--I am your lung."

    when you start to lose yourself, i will be there to catch you and breath life back into you.

    N.... G....

    Hmm, I´m pretty sure it´s about two people who rely on each other and love each other very much. Sort of like Marble House.

  10. J.... ....

  11. T.... C....

    This song relaxes and comforts me so much

  12. H.... ....

    Being inspired by a hero and discovering that darkness drove them to greatness, and then finding the courage to dive into your own darkness in order to find even greater greatness.

    Fuck.

  18. D.... D....

    <3 in love with them

  19. J.... S....

    Btw that's Karin's vocals through the whole song, the deeper voice is just her, pitched down. She does that very often...Fever Ray songs are just her voice pitch shifted and layered. Kinda goes with all her masks I think :) …Olaf (her brother and the other half of The Knife) does most of the music, though they both contribute and play instruments live. But on Knife recordings he uses a lot of synth samples and found sounds to build the music up in layers in software. Karin has said numerous times she regards vocals as just another instrument to play with in the mix. Gives them that otherworldly sound...

    J.... S....

    Wow. I was convinced it was Olaf, here and on the other songs where this voice is used. My whole life was a lie...

    J.... S....

    Awesome tidbit of info man, thanks.

    J.... S....

    Its not obvious until you notice that its her pretty much all of the time, and then its really obvious, she has a really unique tone.

  20. A.... B....

    awesome song, best album

  21. H.... L....

    Genialt!!! :-D

  22. G.... F....

    muito lhoco

  23. s.... x....

    to jest piękne ☺

  24. V.... R....

    This song and 'N.Y. Hotel' are my favorite two songs by this amazing duo. I love all of their stuff, but these are really two forgotten (by me) gems I've recently rediscovered.

  25. C.... O....

    B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L <3

  34. a.... ....

    Every time I listen to this masterpiece is like the first time. There is no more music in the world which is as atmospheric as PRECIOUS The Knife.

  35. s.... ....

    oh no!!!! the knife used to be around well before them :)

  36. M.... ....

    CocoRosie came after dear.

  37. o.... ....

    I had never heard of CocoRosie but searched for them on the basis that if anyone could even think they had inspired this amazing tune they must be pretty damn good, and now I love them too. Thanks

  38. v.... ....

    Are they inspire by CocoRosie ... ?

  39. M.... ....

    @JimiChristopher It might be the underlying meaning in their every word.. :) That is why i find them awesome anyway.Great music!!

  40. J.... ....

    The knife make great music .. I'm so happy i've found them .. similar to john frusciante solo stuff .. its more than just an electro pop thing its way deeper! i dont know how.

  41. Y.... U....

    nice sweden guys. they differ so much from the whole music scene - there is somthing very special in their music style.maybe ´cause they are from nordic country. all artists from nordic countries are very special.

  42. m.... ....

    This song is SO weirdly obsessive, but surprisingly not one of their most popular ones. I honestly feel like Darth Vader when I listen to it, and I love it.

  43. K.... ....

    What an exquisite little piece of music!

  44. B.... ....

    earthborn, mud washed, and soon to find soul in soil. Powerful vibes, I have to keep at hearts length, or I dive too deep.

  45. j.... h....

    I have found my True Love.

  46. h.... ....

    its saying i was born by the sun :)

  47. N.... H....

    heh,,,,cool staff

  48. S.... C....

    @LouisMorissette I get your point, it's the same with me. This and IAMX.

  49. C.... ....

    This is so beautiful.

  50. L.... M....

    @jascrystalspike how is this comparable to crystal castles... gah! There is so much spiritual growth inside of me when I listen to the knife... CC is just some good songs to listen to on shuffle on your ipod.

  51. L.... M....

    The knife is like a drug, It's the only music I can listen on repeat for years and dont get sick of it....

  52. P.... J....

    love this, love the knife*

  53. I.... ....

    @discoboytom you know a cute guy who loves the knife?! °0° OMJ!!!!!

  54. C.... ....

    i love how weird they are..... oh my god amazing stuff ever!

  55. G.... ....

    @SuperNson LOL

  56. J.... I....

    @jascrystalspike The knife did a long time ago music. Crystal Castles arent that old.

  57. A.... K....

    This is a good song. It makes me want make a harmonica out of a comb and waxed paper.

  58. A.... K....

    I like this song. It makes me want to make a harmonica out of waxed paper and a comb.

  59. A.... K....

    I like this song. It makes me want to make a harmonica out of waxed paper and a comb!

  60. B.... H....

    I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooo alternative when I listen to this.

  61. m.... s....

    @JT2D technically this would not be indie. more along the lines of avant garde

  62. R.... K....

    @JT2D I could care less that they're indie; I just love their music. I was listening to Lady Gaga earlier, for which I'm sure you'll judge me as well. I also listened to some Skinny Puppy as well as Barber's Adagio for Strings. Some people just appreciate good music.
    Congratulations, though. You have proven yourself to be morally superior to all of us by making a complete ass of yourself.

  63. R.... K....

    This isn't one of my favorite songs by them, but there's something about it - maybe the minimalist yet mesmerizing beat, maybe the simple but entrancing synths, maybe the fact that I want to swim in an ocean of Karin's voice - but once I put this on, I always know it's going to be a little while before I listen to anything else. The more I listen to them, the more I love them. And I think I just crossed the line into scary stalker fanatic territory.

  64. J.... A....

    they have a very fresh style, and amazing lyrics but i just cant manage myself to like it...

  65. h.... b....

    they are so great like warmed by the sun

  66. n.... ....

    I just stumbled on The Knife and when I first heard this one I was a little iffy... but then I had to come back and hear it again- it gets addicting. Amazing group!

  67. P.... ....

    Amazing! As always...

  68. H.... K....

    Så jävla bra. Orginell text. Karin har en så "ful" egen röst.
    Like it!

  69. M.... ....

    OMG the voice reminds me of "vild vittrorna" in the astrid lindgren movie "ronia rövardotter" my biggest fear when i was a child! really sceary song,but oh so good!

  70. S.... C....

    love it!

  71. m.... ....

    the stranger song if ever heard

  72. r.... ....

    Fl studio XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  73. D.... ....

    brilliant!

  74. J.... ....

    AWESOME<3

  75. d.... ....

    That is a very apt way to put it. Exactly. You should review songs, very nice.

  76. r.... ....

    wow stephanie,will you marry me

  77. O.... ....

    The word Brilliant just isn't enough.

  78. C.... ....

    Well... thank you.

  79. p.... ....

    wow that's deep

  80. r.... ....

    It creeps me out to listen in the deepest darkness, amazing what they did. There's nothing like this around there.

    I love them. And about they're not relatively known. Well, I'm glad I do know them and it feels kinda exclusive to me, I like it.

  81. F.... C....

    ... and i think they are talking about cigarrets
    maybe i'm tripping

    F.... C....

    I know I'm tripping I'm commenting on a comment that a stranger wrote 10 years ago. Smdh

  82. F.... C....

    this song deserves a theknifelike video... I figure it would be amazing!

  83. d.... ....

    Funny thing I got into The Knife and Radiohead 'bout the same time. I think there's something in their appeal that triggers the same feelings from certain types of people.

  84. C.... ....

    I think it's called "A Lung", 'cause the person is working like a lung for others. By sending out this energy of being in control, people will be drawn to her for security. She will be their "lung", breathing for them 'cause they're so lost. But she is too, therefore they will all walk in the dark. The only difference is that they have a leader, "A Lung".
    And yes, it is "WARMED by the sun".
    The sun could stand for the surface I think. So "the lung" has been warmed by the shallowness...

  85. K.... ....

    i know the words and these are the proper ones

  86. N.... W....

    Yeah the lyrics in this particular song are quite hard to catch, I updated the (???) part, though I'm not sure about the "warmed by the sun" one.

    N.... W....

    I think it's referring to the planet Venus. It's closest planet

    N.... W....

    to the sun. Like the saying women Are from Venus men Are from Mars...

  87. s.... b....

    Love this song.. It´s so cool.

  88. j.... ....

    The lyrics for that (???) part are:
    "when the spark goes out of you
    It grows ten times bigger in me
    I am your lung"
