Crystal Castles – Alice Practice

  General Comment:This song clearly has no meaning, it's written by somebody that consumes drugs -Alice Glass is addicted-, and drugs make you see and feel unreal things, and then you write... unbelievable lyrics, with almost no meaning.

  General Comment:correction (lyrics off CC website):
  
  Hi
  Scars will heal soon
  The dregs in us spent the earth down
  
  Better than drowning in a burlap sack
  I live. As Alice. I die.
  Children shouldn't play with dead things
  Foaming crows
  Tear at their wings
  Sad eyes cry crimson blood
  
  Drop it it's dead
  Wheels won't turn they won't turn the birdy's head
  Sad eyes sad eyes like sharpened daggers
  You'll never walk only stagger
  Sad eyes quite cryptic
  Bye

  General Comment:This is exactly what I hear, and I've listened this song song hundreds of times. I really don't see how some of you are getting "birdy's head" and "Christian" and "cryptic".
  
  Hi
  Scars will heal soon
  This drug in us
  Split the earth
  Down
  
  Better than drowning
  In a burlap
  Sack
  I live long
  Alice attack
  
  Children shouldn't
  Play with dead things
  Only crawl
  Till our lonely sad eyes
  Cry crimson
  Blood
  
  Drop it, it's dead
  Well retrun and take the body home
  Sad eyes
  
  Sad eyes like sharpened daggers
  See, you'll never walk
  Only stagger
  Sad eyes
  Cry crimson
  Blood

    Ok, so I've read the lyrics on the official website and listened to the track, she says what she says. But I've given this a one up because having listened to it with your lyrics, it sounds like she says this too!! XD
    
    I really like this 'version', if you can call it that, especially "This drug in us, split the earth down" and "Alice attack". Sick ^ ^
    
    Please people don't start arguing over this comment, I'm just saying, I like both and I kinda prefer these lyrics, even though she doesn't say it. It's my opinion, everyone's allowed one.

  General Comment:Okay guys, this song has no particular meaning. Alice Glass was secretly recorded during a soundcheck before the recording session by the sound engineer, and later he presented it to them as an extra track.

    So why call it a song? Why produce it? And why listen to it? Man, there has got to be ONE song by this band I can muster up some respect for...

  My Opinion:I hear:
  
  Hi
  Scars will heal soon
  This drug in us
  Spins the earth
  Down
  
  Better, it surely
  Don't fall down
  Said I live low
  Alice attack
  
  Children shouldn't play with dead things
  Only cruel to me
  Sad eyes cry crimson
  Blood
  
  Drop it, it's dead
  We took turns and
  Took the body home
  Sad eyes
  
  Silence
  Like chopping daggers
  You'll never walk
  Only stagger
  Sad eyes, cry crimson
  Blood

  My Interpretation:i think this about someone who died by accident. like a group of friends were having a good time and something went horribly wrong and someone died while they were out. the line "children shouldn't play with dead things" kinda says that to me. but i might be wrong.
