Destroy Everything You Touch

Destroy Everything You Touch by Ladytron is one off those tracks that you either hate or love. I love it along with numerous other by the band. The first time i heard it was on iTunes, when i was actually looking for something completely different, but this one caught my attention and i bought it. Soon after i actually bought the whole album “Witching Hour”, but that is a whole other story.

Even though the lyrics is a bit repetitive, but yet powerful, you can find something in them that you either love or hate, as i said before. Anyway, below i have enclosed the lyrics as well as the video for the song. Enjoy !

Lyrics :

Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may desert you
So it cannot hurt you

You only have to look behind you
At who’s underlined you
Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don’t feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

What you touch do not feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way
Anything that may delay you
Might just save you

You only have to look behind you
At who’s underlined you
Destroy everything you touch today
Destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don’t feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

Once you touch do not feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don’t feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

Once you touch you don’t feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Everything you touch you don’t feel
Do not know what you steal
Shakes your hand
Takes your gun
Walks you out of the sun

What you touch you don’t feel
Do not know what you steal
Destroy everything you touch today
Please destroy me this way

Original video and version of the song :

The Harmonium Sessions EP version of the song :

Numb

One of the greatest tracks from Portishead is “Numb” from the album Dummy. The music is a mix between narcotic rhythms, hypnotic samples and film noire. It’s just brilliant and very emotional. One could describe this track and all the others on the album as a natural synthesis of claustrophobic spy soundtracks with confessional lyrics and angst-ridden self-deprivation.

Just wonderful.

Lyrics :

Unable so lost,
I can’t find my way,
Been searching, but I have never seen,
A turning, a turning from deceit.

‘Cause the child roses like,
Try to reveal what I could feel,
I can’t understand myself anymore,
‘Cause I’m still feeling lonely,
Feeling so unholy.

‘Cause the child roses like,
Try to reveal what I could feel,
And this loneliness,
It just won’t leave me alone, oh no.

I’m fooling somebody,
A faithless path to roam,
Deceiving to breath this secretly,
A silence, this silence I can’t bear.

‘Cause a child roses light,
Try to reveal what I could feel,
And this loneliness,
It just won’t leave me alone, oh no,
And this loneliness,
It just won’t leave me alone.

A lady of war,
A lady of war.
