Machine Head - The Burning Red Lyrics






I see the sun begin to rise
And I'm blinded too
I've seen the world through jaded eyes
That I'm crying through
I watch the darkness hypnotize
And can't fight it
Hold On I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
As an ocean has opened
These scars need to heal over

Caress the needle prick in my eye
The tears fell like rain
I've rode the phoenix as she glides
And I've gone insane
I've seen the light of suicide
And I'm dying

Hold on, I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore
As an ocean has opened
These scars need to heal over

Hold on I'm falling, can't breathe... breathe...

Colder and colder
Just hold onto me

Machine Head The Burning Red Comments
  1. i.... ....

    Best for the darknest nights...

  2. S.... R....

    So deep and emotional at the same time

  3. A.... B....

    Shame-it would be perfect if it wasn't for the blown speaker drum sound.

  4. A.... ....

    Right on par. This was always my last go to - as much of a prepper for things that I even unfortunately tried (and failed at, thankfully) as it was a release. I'll always have a special place in my heart for this ballad of the broken.

  5. M.... B....

    Is the audio quality of this garbage, or is something wrong with my setup?

  6. K.... ....

    Помню... Моя бывшая подружка любила вашу песню...

  7. x.... ....

    As I read the comments for this song, this is ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY proof that music can save us from ourselves, and inspire us to feel again, even when every feeling has died. Ive battles with suicide for a very long time, and to have a complete stranger write lyrics that perfectly explain what I couldnt in my darkest of days is nothing short of fucking unreal.
    Stay strong my fellow metalheads....Much love and respect to you all.

    J.... ....

    Hold on, bro.

  10. R.... O....

    is this a tribute or plagiarism? or a cover?

    R.... O....

  14. H.... T....

    Haftalık keşfe düştü 1.45teki cızırtı yüzünden ses kartım bozuldu sandım.

  15. C.... D....

    Teenage nostalgia. I don't know how many times I listened to this song, but it's still pretty cathartic.

    C.... D....

    Yeah when I was 15 years old and this album came out.

  16. N.... S....

    Never ending legendary...

  17. R.... ....

    It will be the last song....

  18. �.... �....

  24. O.... L....

    temaso, ideal para sentarse a escucharlo y pensar mucho mientras te tomas una cerveza bien helada.

  25. E.... ....

    It's like Hurt by Nine Inch Nails but not as good or well written. This is the poor man's version.

    E.... ....

    Thats well, like your opinion man😉

    E.... ....

    Thought i was the only one who thought it sounds like hurt by nin hahaha

  26. C.... K....

    This song came over my bluetooth the other day, and I just stopped what I was doing to jam out. Never gunna forget this one.

  27. L.... ....

    This album is a once off masterpiece. The change in style for the following album was probably due to not being able to recreate this. I think this body of work was earned through a difficult lifetime, to put it it mildly.

    L.... ....

    Joe Unfortunately the style of music was/ is no longer excepted... i how ever LOVE IT!

  28. s.... t....

    Ha nice copied Machine Head. I'm not their fan anymore. They should've written their own song.

    s.... t....

    Lullaby ?

    s.... t....

    @Waiz 02 yeah..

  29. B.... b....

  31. l.... s....

    This song just break my heart 😢 but I love it

    "Grievance" by Lord Belial brought me here. Go listen to it, and you'll see why.

  33. D.... P....

  34. L.... S....

    Machine Inch Nails

  35. b.... m....

  36. M.... T....

    Broken Beat? Broken Heart Beat?

    M.... T....

    And the fade out...burning red.. as the beat slows and fades. Ending.

  37. H.... �....

  38. i.... o....

    Duran Duran

  45. �.... �....

    MAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ❤

    �.... �....

    Bu grubu bilen tek Türk olmamak güzel

  46. s.... ....

    Somehow I always come back to this song whenever I'm feeling super down. It's been my go to since I was 13. It so perfectly captures the feeling of hopelessness and desire to free myself of all the weight of life. I would never do it, but i think that, for people who see the appeal, this song just gets it. This whole album is an emotional roller coaster, and this was the perfect end. I imagine myself falling through the air and then somehow just floating in the clouds during the outro, weightless and free.

    s.... ....

    same here I was 14y back then in late 99, but really Davidian is 1 of my ALL TIME favorite songs ever! for some1 who LOVES Mortician until Darkthrone and Savatage and Machine head and nightwish and everything in between ;-)

    s.... ....

    @Ado Podrinje I was 20 bro.

    s.... ....

    so same fucking here

    s.... ....

    You should write \m/(>_<)\m/ gives people the feels and it's good stuff to read

    s.... ....

    Yup this and Nutshell by Alice in Chains

  47. V.... ....

    This song is real goods yo, you guys better preobtain..?

  48. u.... ....

    This song gives very unique sad vibes.

    u.... ....

    Actually it gives Low - Lullaby vibes...

  49. F.... ....

    I see the sun begin to Rise
    And I'm blinded too
    I've seen the world through painted eyes
    That I'm crying through
    I've watched the darkness hypnotize
    And Confide in...

    Hold on I'm fallin'
    Can't breathe anymore as
    The ocean has opened
    These scars need to heal over

    Caress the needle prick in my eye
    The tears fell like rain
    I rode the phoenix as she glides
    And I've gone insane
    I've seen the light of suicide
    And I'm dying...

    Hold on I'm fallin'
    Can't breathe anymore as
    The ocean has opened
    These scars need to heal over
    Hold on I'm fallin'
    Can't breathe.... breathe
    Colder and Colder
    Just hold on to me

    F.... ....

    good work mate!

    F.... ....

    Thanks 😉🍀

    F.... ....

    Jaded eyes

  50. T.... E....

    Beautiful darkness

  51. A.... L....

    So beautiful

  52. D.... S....

    This song is so calming during these moments in my life. I was recently told that a 5cm tumor exists in the cetner of my chest. Life isn't pretty, thus appreciate the tranquility of sorrow.

    D.... S....

    Stay strong Dark Spark - I know exactly what you mean

    D.... S....

    Dark Spark Oh yea that is utter crap. Sorry to hear that thats happening to you.

    D.... S....

    Stop plaguing the comment section with your attempts for attention, thanks.

    D.... S....

    Trash Boat, You should learn when to stay quiet

  53. S.... V....

    their best song hands down

  54. A.... B....

    Do they have any other songs like this? I like this and Darkness Within, all the others I've heard are too heavy for my liking

    A.... B....

    @Christopher Frost I'll give it a listen

    A.... B....

    message in a bottle

    A.... B....

    +Christopher Frost isnt it heavy?

    A.... B....

    a farewell to arms

    A.... B....

    Damage Inside and Deafening Silence

  55. D.... S....

    This song from the moment I heard it, I always wanted it to play at my funeral. A survivor of several suicide attempts, listening to this song takes me back to when suicide was just an idea when I was a kid. The way life develops the mind.

    (heart)
    M.H,

    D.... S....

    I carry my scars of suicide with me and I notice them on a daily basis. Life is too precious, no matter how villainous others or oneself can make it. We as a species survive because we have no choice. To prove our worth to a fallen God.

    (heart)

    D.... S....

    system of a down toxicity

    D.... S....

    Dark Spark
    You’re not the only one - in fact i HAVE it on my list for when this moment arrives.

    D.... S....

    Attempts are an affirmation of your will to live.
    A life is more than most people can manage to take.
    That said, if your wanting to an hero, I reccomend ayahuasca.
    Ego death is the only death we need, and it is available.

    D.... S....

    Stephanie Gonzales you are very stupid assuming it was a girl

  56. �.... �....

    Damn perfect!

  57. C.... F....

    So fucking awesome!

  58. M.... M....

    Terrible.

    M.... M....

    Mega Misanthrope
    No need to listen.

  59. J.... H....

    Beautiful Song!!! :)

    J.... H....

    Loser Loser
