Paroles - "Guns and machetes"

Voilà ce que j'ai réussi à capter de Guns and machetes :

Morning, morning
Sun begins its rising
And the rhyming birds are singing
I found this in the forest
The water lays in silence in the/a peaceful (?)
Deep on the ground (?)
I'm on my knees and crying

Surrounded by the guns and machetes (?)
There's far too many for any
(?)
Falling to the ground
The forest, the forest
All ashes
Awful dead bodies and masses
We're never right no (pas sûre)
Say it love, love

Drawning, I'm drawning
It's when water's always rising (pas sûre)
And the war is never ending
Why
Hungry, you are hungry
All you need is money
Just to get by within the system
Why
One man is ruling the human race
(?) inside this cage
(?)

These guns and machetes (?)
There's far too many for any
(?)
Falling to the ground
The forest, the forest
All ashes
Awful dead bodies and masses
We're never right no (pas sûre)
Say it love, love

You reach your life to open skies
And finally you realise
To what you have gone son
Finally you see the sun
And finally you realise
What you do run from
As finally you open your eyes
And finally you realise
You put down your weapon

Cos you can't run from the sun x11
You can't run
You can't run

These guns and machetes (?)
There's far too many for any, for any, for any...
The forest, the forest
All ashes
Awful dead bodies and masses, and masses...

Love, love, love, love....

eh ben, toujours aussi joyeuses les chansons de Justin

Et c'est encore plus dur pour Woman put your weapon down !

Wow !!! Super Jen !
Et ben..., c'est clair, c'est vachement joyeux !

Gardez en tête que je suis pas sûre de tout !!

Faudrait que les anglophones du forum passent par là !!!

Wooooooohooooooo!! English-Speaking Girls!!!! We need you to help us fill in the missing words or fix the approximative transcriptions of the lyrics above!!! Do you think you could give us a hand?!
That would be great, Justin (and his awful pronunciation ) is giving us a really hard time...

Thanks...

yes you're right we need some help!!!

Morning, morning
Sun begins its rising
And the rhyming birds are singing
I found this in the forest
The water lays in silence in the/a peaceful bells are ringing
Deep on the ground and the sky again
I'm on my knees and crying

Surrounded by the guns and machetes are heavy (?)
There's far too many for any
Where you're getting at now?
Falling to the ground
The forest, the forest
All ashes
Awful dead bodies and masses
We're never right now for love love (i think)
Say it love, love

Drowning, I'm drowning
It's red when water's always rising (pas sûre)
And the war is never ending
Why
Hungry, you are hungry
All you need is money
Just to get by within the system
Why
One man is ruling the human race
strong from deep bars inside this cage
(?)

These guns and machetes are heavy
There's far too many for any
Where you're getting at now?
Falling to the ground
The forest, the forest
All ashes
Awful dead bodies and masses
We're never right no (pas sûre)
Say it love, love

You reach your life to open skies
And finally you realise
To what you have gone son
Finally you see the sun
And finally you realise
What you do run from
As finally you open your eyes
And finally you realise
You put down your weapon

Cos you can't run from the sun x11
You can't run
You can't run

These guns and machetes are heavy
There's far too many for any, for any, for any...
The forest, the forest
All ashes
Awful dead bodies and masses, and masses...

Love, love, love, love....


idk if that's right but i tried my best

Bon d'après Mandy, mes apports sur Guns & Machetes ne sont pas tous faux... c'est déjà ça !

Je vais essayer de voir ça ce soir pour Woman Put Your Weapon Down, mais je le sens mal

Hey everyone! It's Mel from the Mr. Therapy Man Fansite Wing Yie told me about how you guys are working on his lyrics, too. We've been working on his lyrics for a while now as well, and so I just wanted to share what we got for Guns & Machetes. Anyway, we can all work together on the lyrics, if you guys want to.

This is based on the Phoenix show in Toronto:

Morning, morning
Sun begins its rising
and the robin birds are singing
? and forest
Water lays in silence
and the peaceful bells are ringing

Deep on the ground under a sky again
I'm on my knees and crying
Surrounded by the guns & machetes
Sky heavy, there's far too many for any
Way of getting out now
We'll crawl onto the ground
Forest to forest of ashes
Soulful dead bodies and masses
You don't have the right, no
Oh love, say love

Drowning, I’m drowning
This red water’s always rising and the war is never-ending
How hungry, how hungry
All you need is money just to get by within the system
How one man is ruling the human race
Stronger golden bars inside this cage

Oh for the many guns and machetes
Sky heavy, there's far too many for any
Way of getting out now
We'll crawl onto the ground
Forest to forest of ashes
Soulful dead bodies and masses
You don't have the right, no
Sayin’ love x2

Justin seems to change the following part at different gigs.
This one is from the Toronto show:

Citation :

Raise your arms to open skies
Then you have to realize
To what you have done, son
Finally you see the signs
Finally you realize
To what you do run from
Finally you cannot hide
Finally you realize
To put down your weapon
You can’t run from the sun x12

This one is from the Lyon, France show.

Citation :

Reaching out to open skies
Finally you realize
To what you have done, son
Finally you cannot hide
Finally you realize
To what you do run from
Finally see the signs
Finally you realize
To put down your weapon
You can’t run from the sun x12

Guns and machetes
Sky heavy, there's far too many for any
Forest to forest of ashes
Soulful dead bodies and masses

Love love love love
Love love love love

This is what I think, after listening a few times more, and reading the various lyrics posted.

GUNS AND MACHETES
Morning, morning
Sun begins its rising
and the robin birds are singing
I found these in the forest [not sure because, what did he find, the guns and machetes?]
Water lays in silence
and the peaceful bells are ringing

Deep under ground but there is sky again [doesn't make much sense to me.]
I'm on my knees and crying
Surrounded by the guns and machetes
Sky heavy, there's far too many for any
Way of getting out now
We'll crawl onto the ground
Forest to forest of ashes
Soulful/So full dead bodies and masses [with 'so full' I'd expect to hear with/of following it, but I don't hear it]
You don't have the right, no
Oh love, say love

Drowning, I’m drowning
This red water’s always rising and the war is never-ending
Hungry, you are hungry
All you need is money just to get by within the system
How one man is ruling the human race
Stronger grow bars inside this cage of the men [not sure about 'of the men' but he is definitely singing something]

These guns and machetes
Sky heavy, there's far too many for any
Way of getting out now
We'll fall onto the ground
Forest to forest of ashes
Soulful/so full dead bodies and masses
You don't have the right, no
Sayin’ love x2

(From the Toronto Phoenix show)
Raise your arms to open skies
Then you'll have to realize
To what you have done son
Finally you see the signs
Finally you realize
To what you do run from
Finally you cannot hide
Finally you realize
To put down your weapon
You can't run from the sun 12x

Guns and machetes
Sky heavy, there's far too many for any
Forest to forest of ashes
Soulful/so full dead bodies and masses

Love love love love
Love love love love

I guess "these" stands for the "birds".

I'm pretty sure it's "To what you have gone, son" - sounds more logical to me.

ahh, makes sense, about the birds! And yeah, you're right about 'gone' =)

I still think it's "done" instead of "gone" because I think it's like saying, "Finally you realize what you have done, son"

Yeah but there's "to" at the begining of the line. So "to what you have gone" makes more sense to me

et ca veut dire quoi alors "to what you have gone" ?

I agree! It has to be gone because it's always "to go to" whereas "to do to" isn't correct English


Edit pour Nanie : Ca veut dire "Et soudain(ement) tu réalises (te rends compte) ce vers quoi tu es allé"

ah je viens de comprendre xD lol
Et Merci Blanchounette! c'est vrai que c'est plus logique
ce qui me "bloquait" c'est qu'il yavait "what" et pas "where" alors que le mot c'était GONE
enfin bon voila, tout est clair maintenant

wait, hmm, this is getting very grammatical...so I'm not sure, but if it's
'gone' then shouldn't the sentence be:
'realize where you have gone to'? 'realize to what you have gone' doesn't seem grammaticaly correct.
Then again, 'to what you have done' doesn't seem grammaticaly correct either.
Is it really 'to'? Or maybe 'too'? 'Finally you realize too, what you have done'??? But if so, I don't think it flows well.
I listened again, and do here a quite clear 'done'. Justin phrases it like 'done'. The 'o' in 'gone' sounds differently.
Hmm, maybe Justin is just putting in a 'meaningless' word to make the line more smoothly haha.

OK, I'm going crazy. Anyway, if you look at this video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2gUMcjpVfE
The way his mouth moves really does look more like 'done' than 'gone', or maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see. Ahh, blabla lol.

Sorry but I see/hear "gone" lol
And "to what you have gone" is correct

haha, well, let's hope the lyrics will be posted soon. I think the EP is coming out soon, it's called Riverside Sessions EP
