Ambition Is Critical
The Blackout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask me what you will,
We are doing this,
For nothin' but the thrill
This is all we know
This is all we need
I don't give a fuck
about how you feel
I know you've waited every day
Let your jealousy fade
Or you won't see through your hate!
'Cause where we are
What we've found
Is we don't need to wear your crown
I don't mind
If it takes time
Every mistake made was mine
And I don't mind.
Bring it back, yeah!
Bring it, bring it back, yeah!
I don't mind!
Bring it back, yeah!
Gonna need more time
Just to make things right
We will bring you down
We are the dynamite
Who the fuck are you?
This is the life I lead
Is it good being you?
It's fucking good being me!
I know you've waited every day
Let your jealousy fade
Or you won't see through your hate!
'Cause where we are
What we've found
Is we don't need to wear your crown
I don't mind
If it takes time
Every mistake made was mine
And I don't mind.
Bring it back, yeah!
Bring it, bring it back, yeah!
I don't mind!
Bring it back, yeah!
I don't mind.
Bring it back, yeah!
Bring it, bring it back, yeah!
I don't mind!
Bring it back, yeah!
'Cause where we are
What we've found
Is we don't need to wear your crown
I don't mind
If it takes time
Every mistake made was mine
And I don't mind.
Bring it back, yeah!
Bring it, bring it back, yeah!
I don't mind!
Bring it back, yeah!
I don't mind.
Bring it back, yeah!
Bring it, bring it back, yeah!
I don't mind!
Bring it back, yeah!
Whoa!

I love this video <3 I've seen them about 5 times, and every live show just gets better and better. They're probably my favourite live band :')

These guys are one of very few bands that sound EXACTLY as they do in their recorded songs live. Such an awesome band, and the two welsh front-men are absolutely hilarious. Can't wait to see them again live.
