A Letter To Elise Lyrics
Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire The way they should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would If they only would At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else That hides away From me and you There're worlds to part With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands can make Oh I just take as much as you can throw And then throw it all away Oh I throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms round Yesterday I stood and stared Wide-eyed in front of you And the face I saw looked back The way I wanted to But I just can't hold my tears away The way you do Elise believe I never wanted this I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about But I let the dream go And the promises broke And the make-believe ran out... So Elise It doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this And every time I try to pick it up Like falling sand As fast as I pick it up It runs away through my clutching hands But there's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do At all...

All of this only has Robert Smith's vocals for the verses, and tom delounge's for the chorus.

Has anyone seen the video of this on the Tribute to the Cure? I hate how marilyn manson sounds so apathetic about blink performing the song, yet robert seems enthralled by this cover, yet when the deftones come out to do "if only tonight we could sleep" marilyn manson announces them like they're God, yet Robert looks unimpressed lol Anyway thats besides the point.
the song is about falling out of love with someone you thought you'd be with forever. because of it, its heart breaking on an entirely different level then your usual "break-up" song. It's also about not being able to hold on to a moment. Its an incredible song, either version you listen to.
I'm impressed Blink was able to handle the cover, not because they're not great musicians (which they are!) but this is one of The Cure's really BIG songs, by which i mean very layered in sound; multiple guitars, synths/keys, etc. To be able to pull it off as a trio, and actually make it sound good with a stripped down sound, speaks volumes about how well Blink makes music. Its a faithful cover, yet holds true to Blinks own style and for that it deserves to be listed as one of their songs, because they really made it their own.
here's hoping for more cure covers and cure collaberations!
