Empire Of The Sun - Standing On The Shore Lyrics

Artist: Empire Of The Sun

Album: Walking On A Dream

Genre: Electronic

  • Songwriters: Nicholas Geor Littlemore, Peter Bruce Mayes, Luke James Steele

Standing on the shore
Waiting for the ship in call
There's something in the way I move
That keeps them on their own

A star explodes a storm
A billion seasons born
A shock to the waves I know
Breaking far from shore

Don't want to talk
All I hear is noise
Don't want to talk

The future's in my hands
I hold it in my palms
Engrave it in the ley lines running
Right down her arms

Speak in silent tongues
The lives reflect the times
The ghost and the shadows fill
The living scene

Don't want to talk
All I hear is noise
Don't want to talk

Don't want to talk
All I hear is noise
Don't want to talk

Don't want to talk
All I hear is noise
Don't want to talk

Don't want to talk
All I hear is noise
Don't want to talk

    THIS SONGS LYRICS AND VIDEO ARE MANIFEST DESTINY.
    THE CONTENTS ARE DIRECT PROPHETIC FOREBODING TO THE CATASTROPHIC INCIDENTS IN AUSTRALIA AT THE CHANGE OF THE EARTHLY YEARS BETWEEN 2010-2011. THEY PROOF THAT GOOD ART CAN BE MIXED WITH REMOTE-VIEWING.
    AND YES, UFOs HAVE BEEN SEEN IN THE MOST AREAS SHORTLY BEFORE ALL MASSIVE DESTRUCTIVE FLOODING OCCURRED.

    this song is about the armanian-irish god Tamayakana who was sent by martians to destroy the vagina god Vaginioutous circa 100000000 BC. the imagery in the video also conveys this truth, as Tamavakana had swordfish minions who killed by dancing people to death. if you dont know this you should die a fiery death in the depths of the gonorrhea god Gonorrheatomitus' fiery vagina death!!!!

    empire of the sun is all about the illuminati
    illuminati worships the sun "empire of the sun"
    yeah yeah its also the japanese empire of ww2
    in every song he is talking from the perspective of the sun god. not really the sun but what it represents "light, or enlightenment"
    every single major band has the same exact symbols all from masonr & illuminati

    I find it funny people to try connect this music with religious beliefs, but thats whats great about music it's an art form, anybody and everybody has there own point of view about the track only the artist knows what it truly means from there point of view. but I welcome everybody to have there own point of view on the track. :)

    I think it's talking about Perth. If you're from there and you left you would know.

    I think it means that its all noise to him because they dont make sense in his reality...(people talking without speaking...) theres a lot of symbolisms... he shuts the sounds off so as to be able to meditate ¿? the white animals are guardians... I think... the black other dudes represent evil in a way... the waiting on the shore did give me the feeling of all talk no action kind of thing... the guy at the sand got me the feeling of a bomb ¿? lol or maybe im just makin that one up =P the sand lady looks like well... this comment cant be so long thats just what I got from it and I cant tell if im right or not...=P

    It was shot in Western Australia somewhere, when they lauched the video and released the song, it mentioned it. Should say on their website somewhere.

    This song speaks of the Watcher's war, to destroy mankind. The pagan symbolism at the end of the video also conveys that as the desired result. Aliens are fallen angels, not ET. And what was the whisper at the end? Jesus is our only hope people, the Christ The Creator is also our only Redeemer. Read Romans 14:11 to see Whose Name is above all others.

    its about all talk no action. he's waing for the ship in call. speak in silent tongues and lies reflect the times. those lines convey the meaning of people practically talking crap.

    love ramsena :)

    What the lyrics means is that when people talk to him he hears the words but doesnt really hear it enough to understand it so its just noise to him.
