Vampire Weekend - Everlasting Arms Lyrics

Just discovered vampire weekend -- on repeat for dayysss! This song is criminally underrated.

This one really grows on you. Seems forgettable at first but I grew to appreciate it more over time.

Underrated asf

Try listening to this in reverse

I think he is talking about being a ghost buster, going after slimer in the chandelier

Ok have any of you ever played paper Mario on N64?! That intro music sounds exactly like it 😂😂

My favorite from Vampire Weekend <3

Good songa

i think this song koenig is mocking his doubts and failures to follow God perfectly but resigns to hqve faith regardless

I took your counsel and came to ruin,
Leave me to myself, leave me to myself
I took your counsel and came to ruin,
Leave me to myself, oh lead me to my cell
Oh I was made to live without you,
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand
Oh I was born to live without you,
But I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Look up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier
That's going down

I thought it over and drew the curtain,
Lead me to my cell, lead me to my cell
I hummed the Dies Irae as you played the Hallelujah
Lead me to my cell, oh lead me to my cell

If you'd been made to serve a master
You'd be frightened by the open hand, frightened by the hand
Could I have been made to serve a master
Well I'm never gonna understand, never understand

Hold me in your everlasting arms
Look up full of fear, trapped beneath the chandelier
That's going down
Hold me in your everlasting arms
Look up full of fear, trapṗed beneath the chandelier
That's going down

Hold me in your everlasting arms

22-07-2018// i’ve decided im kicking out this mouse

I just found this song today and see you've uploaded it on the same day three years ago. Can't believe it has been that long already.

Song is very much how god is love

How foolish.

Well faith never turns its back, it’s always shining, the glory the good news

I took the bibles counsel and came to ruin

It’s about a man dettaching himself from religion. Not intentionally but a separation that is very much unstoppable. This is him coming to terms with how God is changing meaning right before his face

Anyone here from Girls?no?fine.

what does the background voice say in min. 2:15 and 2:18? or is it just a sound effect?

Its a voice effecting thats saying "hold me in your everlasting arms" its just deepened and has some more tweks on it

was gonna say i hear Paul simons you can call me al...

I loooove this song!!!

A bit of Simon and Garfunkel sprinkled throughout this track.

Fatt Managan which song does it remind you of

Paul Simon said yes you can borrow some of my flavor

to which ladysmith black mambazo "yeah it's cool"

David Mix This is a lot like a Darker and more depressing Paul Simon Type sound tho

It's like Paul Simon for millennials.

@NB 1294 Not every millennial is bad ya know. Yes most of them are bad but not all of them. Its not their fault they were born at that time.

This song is fuego

spit fuego
