Idlewild – American English lyrics
Songs when the truth,
Are all dedicated to you,
In this invisible world I choose to live in,
And if you believe that,
That now I understand,
Why words mean so much to you,
They'll never be about you.
Maybe your young without youth,
Or maybe your old without knowing anythings true,
I think your young without youth.

Then you contract the American dream,
You'll never look up once,
You've contracted American dreams,
I'd aqquire you to stop and look up.

Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world.

Constantly searching to find something new,
But what will you find when you think that nothings true,
Maybe it's that nothing is new,
So you let me hear songs that were written all about you,
The good songs weren't written for you,
They'll never be about you.

Then you contract the American dream,
You'll never look up once,
You've contracted American dreams,
You'll never look up once,
Don't look up.

Sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world. [Repeat x2]

And I won't tell you what this means,
Cause you already know,
And I won't tell you what this means,
Cause you already know.

So, sing a song about myself,
Keep singing a song about myself,
Not some invisible world. [Repeat x3]

You'll find what you find,
When you find there's nothing. [Repeat x2]
