    LYRICS
    Take a long hard look at yourself
    How did you end up here
    The blood drips like red inverted balloons
    Tomorrow is a promise to no-one
    If you want, follow me and I'll lead you inside
    You don't have to run and hide
    Eleanor, Eleanor
    I would do anything for another minute with you because
    It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier
    In a bedroom with no windows or doors
    All the happy people are crying
    You can't hold a gaze for a second or two
    It always ends in total darkness
    Eleanor, Eleanor
    I would do anything for another minute with you because
    It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier
    You will be folding stars
    You can't ever understand
    It's not getting easier, it's not getting easier
    It ends in a place with no love only hate
    And a mirror reflecting the truth
    In your eyes, in your face you can't wash it away
    From your cold, cold heart
    I hope that you're folding stars

    Today is my brother's 12th birthday. But for the past 12 years I haven't celebrated any of his birthdays with him. Not even six weeks after he was born he was taken from me, and from my family. My little angel, just gone. Four years ago when I first heard this song, all I could think about was my little brother. "I would do anything for another minute with you, it's not getting easier, it's not getting easier. I hope that you're folding stars." And I really hope he is. I love you Lachlan ♡♡♡

    For anyone playing this who is mourning the death of a loved one, you never stop missing them , but you learn to cope better. They will always live on in you x

      lost my mother when I was 20.. now very close to 42.. I now have lived longer than she had that chance to... with that loss,, has given me so much more strength, to push forward.. my only real thing is.. everything good in my life happened, After she had passed.. not having the option of sharing my son with her.. at times. (cliché) all these people around. never felt so alone

    "The reason I'm so upset is because I was away playing shows when, if I had been at home doing a normal job, I could have been here and I could have helped. Because we were travelling and it was so out of the blue, I couldn't even get back to say goodbye..." - Simon Neil on his mother's death - 2007
    Those feels man.

    I don't know why but the more depressing biffy songs tend to be my favourites. You got this, opposites (which is by far my fav biffy song), machines, people, medicine, many of horror etc. There just tends to be a lot of raw emotion that goes into these kinds of biffy songs and to say the least. I fucking love that

    • @TheCrimsonFist501
      @TheCrimsonFist501 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      They have more emotion put into them, it's why some artists produce their best materials after a loss, because it gives them so much to work with.

    Biffy Clyro are actually the best band I'd never heard of until the AFL put 'The Captain' on their adverts last year, and now I find three awesome albums came before 'Revolutions'? Dude, I'm never going to get tired of finding these awesome songs. I just heard this and it's already in my top three biffy songs (57 and The ideal height are the others).

    This is such a powerful but sad song. It must have been a job to record this so well. "I would do anything for another minute with you, cos, it's not getting easier" hard hitting, sobering lyrics.
