Macklemore - Life Is Cinema Lyrics

Looks like the cover to the Pet Shop Boys album "Actually".

I don't know why
But it's like I can't stay quiet
This is my voice
I can't let it die inside me
See I'll be scared if there wasn't a riot
Pushing and pulling, grabbing some hair
Puking and fucking up the sidewalk
This battle makes it interesting
I abide desires
Like a dog pissing on the hydrant
Just to spite the fire
It's not to be taken lightly
The page is a set of eyelids
The booth is an instrument that God created
To record us trying to find him
But don't let the word throw you off
Religion and spirit are two different plots
Just know that it's bigger than me and my ego
When I'm flyin
Take me higher
I've got something to pray for
Please leave me when I'm guided
Who said that "Life is cinema"?
This is epic, be present
I'm right here
Selfish, selfish, selfish me, yeah, me, yeah
Girlfriend, break-up, new one, one-night stand, cheat, cheat, repeat that
Drug use, clean up, drug use, drug use, clean up, drug use, rehab
Fuck you, I suck dude, self-loathing, self-esteem, ego, then me again
Put a soundtrack right in the middle
A neverending quest to try and get fans
There you have the beginning, a middle and a really shitty end
Nah, give me a break through, can I get a montage, come on I need that
Humble me, give me a conflict, a hardship, let me break through this cement
They're gonna be so disappointed when they roll the credits and
I realize that my movie sucked and I was the only one that could edit it
Well the course, the chain of events, that would be the evidence, some say it's coincidence
I say I found something greater than myself and started accepting it
And I can see, feel, taste and smell again
And I'm the only one with the hammer to break this shell I'm in
It's gonna take me crackin' this mirror to finally be myself again
Met my potential a long time ago and I'm not stopping til I resemble him

(I got soul but I'm not a soldier...)

2018 anyone?

For sure brother

2019 still.

I read 'Seattle Underground' and I'm in tears, so proud.

why this isn't on spotify???

The Killers❤️

Rosalyn Literally came for the sample.

CAN I GET A MONTAGE I NEED THAT!

I love this song so much.

ADD THIS SHIT TO SPOTIFY NOW

"A god's soldier" ???

"I've got soul, but, I'm not a soldier."

Im confused why everyone is arguing about him being gay that literally has nothing to do with this song

is there a website where I can download or even buy this mixtape ?

Ryan Lewis is a genius.

I seriously have been in love with this song since the concert in October.

this isn't on itunes but i agree that it should be..

This is off of The VS. EP which was free when I got it but that was maybe like 5-6 years ago lol idk maybe u can find it online

Yup, was released to free a while back if I can remember correctly.

+Zher0 I bought this album from ben when he played a show at the wild buffalo in bellingham wa. These guys were always a cut above other artist. This album helped me thru some ish. he's a great lyricist and ryan is a master at beats and composing. these guys are made for this.

i met them

3 years later xD

is there somewhere i can find this song in an instrumental because i cant find it anywhere

I think you don't actually understand his musics...

watch my video

He isn't gay... He has friends that are but he isn't... He supports it...

Okay. I’m displeased. My cousin sleeps in the opposite room. I’m pissed because he just grew excellent at getting all women. The guy went to the Master Attraction website (Check in Google) by Jake Ayres. All he’s doing now is banging women. He’s always pulling girls back and I can’t help but hear it. It’s nasty and If only he had not discovered that site. My closest friend just signed up and got a blowjob a week later.

Ha-ha. Macklemore isn't gay. Don't just listen to the lyrics. Understand it.

i like Macklemore**__**

he is engaged...

so your saying gay people normally wouldnt sing songs as good as stright people...?

he's not lol

Some people are idiots..

He's even engaged/married (Not sure if he married already.)

Macklemore has a gf ..-.-

He sounds amazing

Never thought a gay guy would sing such an awesome SONG :-)

Now I am out of messages grrr so talk to you Sunday.

HA-HA! I'm srsly the new Nelson now.. HAHA

Good night.

good night im out of msg talk 2 u on sunday

He wrote that song for a kid committed suicide because he was bullied for being gay and his uncles are gay. The first line of that song goes "When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay because I could draw my uncle was and I kept my room straight." He has a girlfriend now fiancée for the past seven years.

So happy that he did this live when i saw him the other day! was so fucking awesome, a night i'll always remember!

He is married to a girl, so he is not gay :)

he's getting married to Tricia Davis :)

good song ;D i like macklemore so much

This song is basically Jesse Pinkmans life

Wow, u change yourself to be like Ben? :D

Lol what ive heard, he has a wife. :)

I don't understand the "Macklemore is gay" thing. He supports gay rights 100%, and I'm pretty sure if he himself were homosexual, he'd be the first one to tell us.

People who throw the word "gay" around like an insult are a big part of the problem with society. Learn to love, you'll feel better about yourself.

Seriously.

why is everyone saying "your all stupid, you think macklemore is gay" when it is just one person who didn't understand same love ;) but not everyone here thinks that JS

He's married.

what a fail xd

Google'a >>> fulya 35 <<< yaz ilk çıkan site

he aint gay hes getting married soon lol dumb fuckssss

lol yall are stupid . if you think macklemore is gay then you obviously dont know him

He has a girlfriend ;]

Who the fuck cares if he's gay or not? ENJOY THE FUCKING MUSIC.

No, he's not gay >< and also, he is engaged..

I came here from FaZe Rug.

bahahaha you totally don't understand the meaning of that song lol he supports it but isn't gay haha

I respect your respect for him, but you must be pretty stupid to believe he's gay

I wish someone remade the instrumental and uploaded it to youtube. I LOVE IT!

i came here myself. anyone else?

learn how to read and write... you make me feel dumb for liking macklemore

Schade, dass sie Elemente von The Killers genommen haben, ich mag es allgemein nicht, wenn man kopiert und klaut...Trotzdem hat der Song was und ich mag ihn.

u can say anything abouth maclemore but i say hot love the song :*

I don't know what he has to do with it either. But he's a "famous gamer"

Impressed. I walked down to Staples this afternoon and bought a ticket.

If you actually listened to the lyrics, you would realize Macklemore isn't gay. He supports it, but hes definetly not homosexual.

Macklemore is the most couragous gay person I know to come out in 3rd grade. He is so awesome he makes me want to be gay too. People please stop the hate.

F F

I don't know wtf "FaZe Rug" is but I've been watching all of Maklemore's and Ryan Lewis's songs the past couple of days. I didn't come here from FaZe Rug or whatever that was.

just got the killers together . Am I right? love it.

Well... im here for Macklemore... dont konw what FaZe Rug is

Anyone here actually came here for good music or Macklemore and Ryan and not FaZe Rug?

Never heard of 'FaZe RuG' untill i read the comments of this video :/

Faze rug

I love that rate

faze Rug

if anything he has got much better now

Sad to see they were so talented and now they are making the songs they do

rug rug rug rug rug rugrat rugrat rugrat rugrat

well yeah so?

Oh cmon. I heard it in his ep. but I came for the music...

"And I'm the only one with the hammer to break this shell I'm in
It's gonna take me crackin' this mirror to finally be myself again
Met my potential a long time ago and I'm not stopping til I resemble him"

Yeah it's so interesting who bought y'all here...

well of course he brought you here its his song .___.

But FaZe Rug used this song for his Montage...

Faze wtf is that rug sounds like a immature kid

Rug <3.

Macklemore gets it.

2 year old song and he brought you here weird coincidence (did you barely hear about macklemore or are you just listening back to his songs)
