Title: LHABIA LYRICS
Post by: bodywars9000 on Feb 28, 2010, 09:32 PM
this is old news, and maybe it would be better not to know, and probably never will, but.........

what the hell is he saying during the verses?! it's been driving me crazy for like a decade!
there's the lyrics in the cd slip, and i've found a bunch online, none of which seem to be accurate.
for the past 3 years since chino started "rapping" the verses (louder), i can make out bits and pieces, but still.....
one of my favorite songs EVER.
-anyone?????????????????

i've been obsessing about ATF for some months now, i think we can crack this fucker up once and for all.

here is my shot:

lhabia

somewhere
outside
there are tricks
and evil
holler
downstairs
while i drive...

i cant complain, nice to meet you, but you're dull toy
pull and turn you, when i want you
you make me dare, do we not? do we do the same?
and while you film me, a lot a gut
a buttercup, taking me to do this fall in again
now i slow again, and now i'll do it again, and again
and make it fast to the supermarket
come and lick yours, you're bound coming profund!

dying of boredom
i'll try it all

sixteen
i'll live
bound by a voice

a T, a T, i can't make you to like a T
don't look, unwanted
too much blood, do it's time, until it make us sick
it's groove, blind it, like you did
up, look up, look up, look up revenge you can't deal
what you get it's, is what you wanna get
now, super resize over up your black tongue
like a farse, well at least you fucking care!

dying of boredom
i'll try it all
i'll be faint
like a crook!

what!? steal it!?, look it! what is doing to you!
that's ok, cause look how it, feels!
(come on!) please drink, drink in what he'd stolen to you
that's ok, cause look how it, feels!
(quick!) please stole it, and look in what it's doing to you
well that's ok, i did it with
you!

you're fine (3x)

i burned (really did it), straight stared at it
you fucking heretic, come on look up, look me
looked sterile, i'll stick a new stick
i'm doing it, i worked to found you
like a pretty boy, mad, sarcastic one
and while i want you, i tend to fuck you
my good childs started petting and restore time
alarm means to "would be fire"!

dying of boredom
i'll try it all
i'll be faint
like a crook!

what!? look again!, look it what is doing to you!
that's ok!, not shure how it
feels!!...

come on guys, lets nail this fucker!

Haha, was some of that supposed to be serious?

Buttercup sent me to kill Stalin again? hahaha

I'm not even going to waste my time trying to figure out the lyrics. There's a good chance Chino doesn't even know them. Matter of fact, I was just talking to DJ Crook on Facebook, and he mentioned something about how Chino would just moan some random words over some instrumental TS songs when they were playing them live, which is how I come up with melodies myself when writing music, and we agreed it's funny to see some fans decipher the lyrics or sing along to it and shit when there aren't really lyrics to begin with...

But props to anyone who thinks they can actually figure out what he's saying.

It's probably a Yellow Ledbetter situation where there's no set lyrics, Great song regardless

This is what I hear when I listened to the gibberish parts:

"It was kinda nice to meet you, buttercup
While Im kinda new, while I watch you
You take me there, deep down, keep it deep inside
While I serenade, a buttercup, and buttercups,
All we need to do is burn it down
And down slow again and how we'll do it again and again
To make the best of a simple thing
Can't believe you, so bound, coming through the fog!"

"Baby girl, like a girl that can make 'em turn
Don't wanna come, I don't want to
Too much blood to my stomach, its because its sick
There's room, but thinking we could do it
Baby girl, we could never know what your gonna do
What you give to me and what you wanna get
Nows your parade of silence, so over like your black tongue
Like a voice, but at least you fuckin' care!"

"Burned until dead, straight stared at it
Fuckin' heretic, come look up, look at me
Like steril, look around, took a big spin
This is too much, work around you
I could punch it through, though the hairs stick
And while I want you, just to fuck you
Im out of time, so I dare you rest this time
I will learn and still you will be fine!"

Does the album inset not have anything printed? I only have the physical copies for White Pony and the S/T, and I know they've changed the lyrics on the insets to get around content warnings. But if the booklet actually says "Buttercup sent me to kill Stalin again", I'm going to laugh.

The album insert booklet only contains (most of) the lyrics that are NOT mumbled (by Chino), which is only about half of what he says in the entire studio version of the Lhabia song, LOL!  :P  As far as I remember anyway.  I would also like to know 100% of what he says in that song, it's been like my favorite song on Around The Fur since the day I bought it.

Yeah, only contains bits like:

"I want to watch you buttercup coming through the fog"

"I don't want to go but I want it well at least you fucking care"

On a side note, it's amazing what you read in liner notes. Ulrich Wild was part of this who ended up doing Taproot and assisted by Matt Bayles who produced Mastodon eventually.
