Radio Dept., The - You Stopped Making Sense Lyrics






You stopped making sense
You stopped making sense
You forgot about your friends
I want to come closer
I want to come closer
I want to come closer
That's all I want

Since you let God in
You believe in sin
But of course there's no such thing
Just like there's no Santa
No equality before the law
No people without flaws
You forgot all about us
And for what cause?

You believe the lie
Saying you won't die
I know you were scared but so am I
That's why I can't lose you
Whatever they told you
I'm dying to hold you
Don't let them blindfold you
Don't say goodbye

    I'm in love this song!

  11. B.... R....

    Haha this seriously just reminds me of an old girlfriend that was so torn up because she found out I was atheist and she grew so distant. So strange. Seems like this song just sums it up so perfectly

  12. d.... s....

    Just like theres no Santa.

    Just something about the way that line is said.

  13. a.... ....

    I have the emptiest depression.

    This kinda reminds me of REM

    That's why I can't lose you

    Don't let them blindfold you
    Don't say goodbye...

    A.... D....

    Alex Daigle greaat

  17. K.... D....

    Is it just me or is this song larger than life?

  18. M.... ....

    Hermosa cancion pero si supieras lo mal q me hace...comprenderias todo

  19. T.... C....

    I think the lyrics talks about a homosexual love affected by religion, if you pay attention in the last two paragraphs, will understand this.

    ''You stopped making sense
    You stopped making sense
    You forgot about your friends
    I want to come closer
    I want to come closer
    I want to come closer
    That's all I want

    Since you let God in
    You believe in sin
    But of course there's no such thing
    Just like there's no Santa
    No equality before the law
    No people without flaws
    You forgot all about us
    And for what cause?

    You believe the lie
    Saying you won't die
    I know you were scared but so am I
    That's why I can't lose you
    Whatever they told you
    I'm dying to hold you
    Don't let them blindfold you
    Don't say goodbye.''

    T.... C....

    or like, love between 2 religions that disparade each other. lol

    T.... C....

    these lyrics hurt.

    T.... C....

    According to genius.com it's about a guy losing his girl to religion, but I love your point of view.

    Damn, music is everything

    T.... C....

    I think thats too much of a labeled candid response. I think it has to do more with a change of mindset that became an addiction that will lead the everlasting double edged blade of love. unconditionally we're all willing to hurt ourselves for the person we love, but to what extent are we able to go to endure until the breakthrough of possibilities happen.

    T.... C....

    no it's not about homosexuality

  20. S.... T....

    Who disliked it ?! WTF. I just lost a friend and this song keeps me alright !

  21. f.... ....

    nice song

  22. J.... A....

    One of the best songs by the radio dept. OOOH! and that baseline!!!very very orgasmic!!!!

  23. O.... F....

    awesome!

  24. L.... B....

    the perfect way to end a perfect album

  25. T.... T....

    how is she becoming religious?

  26. K.... 9....

    have loved this band for a long time now.. really hope a new album is on its way :)

  27. K.... 9....

  28. F.... ....

    ye, but what's not

  29. S.... J....

    Yeah! :D

  30. g.... ....

    dat base

  31. A.... G....

    I hope it will be played on Jakarta, Indonesia 24 April 2013 concert of them. Can't wait!!!

  32. F.... ....

    I don't know why you would even half -mention the thing you half-mentioned.

  33. W.... ....

    Best song on the Album. The base line reminds me of Phil Spector.

  34. D.... ....

    well i like both of them, they are different style

  35. S.... C....

    I've been listening to this straight all afternoon. Makes me tear.

  36. M.... ....

    This is not even close to their old stuff... But if it was another band, i guess i'd say it's good.

  37. S.... B....

    Just so sublime. His voice..goddamn!

  38. K.... A....

    this is one of the best songs I've ever heard...The Radio Dept Rocks!!!! this one and Ewan and You have the worst taste in music

  39. D.... O....

    This is the most consonant piece of art i've ever heard.

  40. H.... O....

    Seems like our old comments got deleted? Anyway thanks for your help!

  41. $.... ....

    to make things easier, check out:
    last[DOT]fm/tag/you can get a reasonable tag description & artist recommendation
    ex: last[DOT]fm/tag/chillwave
    but, dont take it as a bible cuz there are quite a few idiotic last.fm users putting irrelevant and incorrect tags to some artists but the top artist recommendations are okay
    --
    chillwave & dreampop share one main genre but since their secondary genres are different, they will have subtle differences but still may feel very much alike.

  42. H.... O....

    @staticvoidman Ohhh, thanks for the suggestions. I'm glad to tell you that I listen to Graveyard girl almost everyday & though I haven't listened to My angel lonely, I do listen to Wild nothing's chinatown an awful lot, so I guess I'm going in the right direction for my own taste in music haha. I'll definitely check out the rest! & if you don't mind can you explain a bit about dreampop, chillwave & ambient? I know I might have stumbled upon songs in these genres but I could never tell.

  43. $.... ....

    @theblackmoonofghost :) try
    > Airiel - In Your Room
    > Kyte - Fake Handshakes, Earnest Smiles
    > M83 - Graveyard Girl
    > I Break Horses - I Kill Your Love, Baby!
    > Wild Nothing - My Angel Lonely
    > Ulrich Schnauss - Look At The Sky
    > Khonnor - The Stoned Night
    well... Radio Dept is quite unique imo so these aren't direct relations to this particular song hence not overly shoegaze so it's not like you might like them but whatever.
    Also, i tend to deviate towards indie-rock / dream-pop / chillwave :P

  44. H.... O....

    @staticvoidman So that's shoegaze... Thank you for the explanation :D I do enjoy this music genre very much, a few months back I was actually introduced to it thanks to my curiosity which led me into clicking on a random video on the right side... Since then it's like I've found my world!

  45. B.... W....

    Will forever remind me of my senior year.
    Nostalgia is a helluva feeling.

  46. j.... ....

    Screw Christmas music. Play Radio Dept.

  47. m.... f....

    nice reference to talking heads?

  48. c.... ....

    I fell in love so hard

  49. c.... ....

    @nWo2sweeeet lol no idea I just by the most ridiculous stumbled on this!!! WOW, just WOW

    This is great music!!

  50. B.... S....

    @josheskimo He is "shotgunning" some marijuana. It was common in the Vietnam War.

  51. S.... ....

    ONE DISLIKE?!? WHO DID THAT?

  52. R.... S....

    No wonder there is no dislikes :)

  53. d.... h....

    @Keiichichanisback
    if you guys read the lyrics its pretty self explanatory :) but its about how he fell in love with a girl, but since she started believing in god he thinks she is abandoning him. he doesnt understand why god is a higher priority in her life then him, the things she believes in due to now believing in god doesn't make sense to him anymore.

  54. $.... ....

    Why would any one even mention Owl City here? The genres are like... worlds apart.
    Comparing indie/shoegaze and electronic/powerpop.... is just... stupid.

  55. $.... ....

    @ThundyrSt0rm that's shoegaze for you... the music is not loud, the vocals are purposely kept in the background. it's like... more stress on music and sometimes distortion. very soothing... if... you are into this music genre.

  56. P.... D....

    If your into this kind of music then you might dig my stuff

  57. R.... S....

    c o a c h e l l a

  58. K.... W....

    the music is too loud... i can barely hear the words

  59. M.... ....

    @danahiebert what's he talking about? please share with the rest of the class..

  60. M.... T....

    WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP ABOUT THE ALBUM VERSION THING....THIS IS IT!!! gees

  61. T.... ....

    @jcpelly is it one of the photos where they smoked weed out of the barrel of a gun?

  62. d.... h....

    this is such a sad song, if people actually know what hes talking about.

  63. J.... G....

    @Juma1st Hey, well, from what I'm reading here this isn't the version that ended up on their album. Maybe you'd enjoy that one. (if six months later you still care to look)

  64. q.... ....

    Good musik here kids !!

  65. J.... ....

    First time I heard this band and the video for this album cover is epic look up "vietnam weed"

  66. P.... ....

    Why all good music (like this and many more such as Raised Fist) is nowadays coming from Sweden? Just, f-king envy (but enjoying).

  67. J.... ....

    I love the album cover. It reminds me so much of the Smiths Meat Is Murder album cover.

  68. J.... ....

    @lunchwithjesus xD sorry mate

  69. D.... M....

    Wow, Brilliant!

  70. A.... L....

    @133Daddy This is REAL music :D

  71. J.... ....

    guys, i have a problem. i really, really want to like this song. i dont know why, maybe its because of the truly beautiful title "you stopped making sense" wow, maybe its because i simply recognize the songs great potential. but everytime i listen to it, i just... dont really enjoy it. im sure its great to like this song and im very happy for each of you who does

  72. o.... -....

    that little riff that comes in for the first time @2:20. beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

  73. P.... ....

  75. m.... c....
