White Lies - Bigger Than Us

You took the tunnel route home, you've never taken that way with me before.
Did you feel the need for change?
Apologies on your fingernails, love flickered in the city of lights,
Like intermittent radio waves

I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home.

And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way,
I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray,
This is bigger than us

You went where the horses cry, you've never taken that way with me before.
Did you feel the need for change?
Guilt smeared across your lips, I was tired and cold from the window
You're tired, nothing's changed.

I don't need your tears
I don't want your love
I just gotta get home.

And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside, don't take me thisway,
I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray,
This is bigger than us.

And I feel like I'm breaking up, but I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside, don't take me thisway,
I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray,
This is bigger than us.

And I feel like I'm breaking up, but I wanted to stay,
Headlights on the hillside, don't take me thisway,
I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray,
This is bigger than us.

White Lies - To Lose My Life

He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while
I was always careless as a child
And there's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
But a desperate fear flows through my blood
That our dead loves buried beneath the mud

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time

I said I've got no time, I have to go
And I was more right than now I'll ever know
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret
And left him crying next to the chapel's steps

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time

He said?

Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time

He said?

He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while
I was careless as a child
There's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
A desperate fear flows through my blood
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud
A desperate fear flows through my blood
Our dead loves buried beneath the mud

[Review] White Lies - Ritual (English)

After a great debut album, "To Lose My Life ', the bar was too high for and White Lies and, although not at the level of the first album, "Ritual" did not disappoint.

The album begins with "Love Is" which, despite being a good opening song, can’t be compared to "Death", the opening song of the previous album and which is probably the best song of White Lies.

Then comes "Strangers", a song that, without a doubt, is one of the best from this band. It is, in my opinion the best song on this album. "Bigger Than Us" ends the first major set of good songs on this album, because after that song comes "Peace & Quite", which is a relatively weak song in comparison with any of the others in this album.

Then comes "Streetlights", which, despite being a song about problems such as fear or boredom, makes us instantly forget the previous song.

"Holy Ghost" is another highlight of this disc, along with "Strangers". This song is a particularly puzzling, since it is very difficult to understand its meaning.

“The Power & The Glory", which at first glance may be construed to give a great song is actually very weak and I honestly can’t understand its inclusion on the album, as with "Peace & Quiet”.

"Bad Love" and "Come Down" close this album that doesn’t disappoint those who like the band, although it is understandable that falls a little short of expectations of some more demanding people.

7.5/10

[Review] White Lies - Ritual (Português)

Depois de um grande álbum de estreia, “To Lose My Life”, a fasquia estava muito elevada para os White Lies e, apesar de não estar ao nível do primeiro álbum, “Ritual” não desapontou.

O álbum começa com “Is Love” que, apesar de ser uma boa música de abertura, não se compara a “Death”, a música de abertura do álbum anterior e que é, provavelmente, a melhor música dos White Lies.

Depois vem “Strangers”, uma música, sem dúvida ao nível das melhores desta banda. É, na minha opinião, a melhor música deste álbum. “Bigger Than Us” termina a primeira grande sequência de boas músicas neste álbum, porque de seguida vem “Peace & Quite” que é sem dúvida uma música relativamente fraca, se compararmos com qualquer uma das outras deste álbum.

A seguir vem “Streetlights” que, apesar de ser uma música sobre problemas como o medo ou o tédio, nos faz imediatamente esquecer a música anterior.

“Holy Ghost” é o outro momento alto deste disco, a par de “Strangers”. Esta é uma música particularmente enigmática, já que é muito difícil de entender o seu significado.

“The Power & The Glory” que à primeira vista pode dar entender ser uma grande música é, na realidade, muito fraca e não se compreende a sua inclusão neste álbum, tal como aconteceu com “Peace & Quiet”.

“Bad Love” e “Come Down” encerram este álbum que não desilude quem gosta da banda, embora seja compreensível que fique um pouco aquém das expectativas de algumas pessoas mais exigentes.
