Florence + The Machine - Third Eye (Lyrics)
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
Hey, look up
Don't make a shadow of yourself
Always shutting out the light
Caught in your own creation
Look up, look up
It tore you open
And oh, how much?
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
Hey, look up
You don't have to be a ghost
Here amongst the living
You are flesh and blood
And you deserve to be loved
And you deserve what you are given
And oh, how much?
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
That original lifeline
Original lifeline
That original lifeline
That original lifeline
'Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
But your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
I'm the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
I'm the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
That original lifeline
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
Original lifeline
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
That original lifeline
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
Original lifeline
I'm the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
That original lifeline
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change
Original lifeline
I am the same, I'm the same
I'm trying to change

Music video by Florence + The Machine performing Third EYE. (C) 2016 Universal Island Records, a division of Universal Music Operations Limited

[@numlock2012]

at the end where she repeats "I'm the same ,I'm the same I'm trying to change", I get lost in her words. it's like we're one, all of us are just the same trying to change and become better

[@user-ro9hg8yd8x]

Often where she repeats music i am in love with, it feels like she almost loses her train of thought and drifts away from the song

[@michaelchik26]

Just my opinion, but Florence is saying that we all deserve happiness and finding our soulmates. No matter how much success you have in life, how great your career, how much money you have, it is meaningless without a soulmate....

[@xaviermelendez7496]

Is magical really

[@erinrobinson3158]

This song makes me loose myself in the lyrics…as if I’m floating away…I love you Florence!!🎶🖤🎶💜

[@ImTheSaiki]

The lyric touches me deeply, I feel like there's this person who I am trying to be and it seems impossible for me to accomplish because I have habits that I can't seem to shake. These habits often break me and shake me up pretty bad and cause me to self-loath. I'm just trying to change one day at a time.

[@Hachidiego]

She's one of the greatest musicians of our generation. Such a talented, unique and authentic soul.

[@gip156]

true

[@Chaziltasm]

+Aleex Les Folies bit of an over statement lol. On what proof is that? because you like the music a lot she's one of the greats? Maybe one of the greatest singers but you'll have a hard time finding any respectable critics saying shes one of the greatest musicians of a generation.

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

just because you like something doesn't mean it's good. just because you dislike something doesn't mean it's bad. there can never be an objectively "greatest" singer.

[@net_has]

+Hejira#2854 maybe, hear me out here, he was expressing his opinion, and not really claiming to have objective reasoning behind it (because, you know, it's an opinion, which is still valid without it). Unheard of, I know.

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

Sooner or later there's gling to be these music elitists bashing recent music, saying fatm is the only real music, blablabla, in this comment chain. Annette Hasnas​ opinions are valid if backed with claims that make sense. "Authentic, unique, and talented" is something lots of singers have, so it's probably not specific enough. Specify something in her uniqueness that you like, then it's valid.

[@faithperry6307]

I listened to this song constantly last Summer whilst suffering and recovering from a severe case of Anorexia. I was an inpatient case trying to stay out of hospital. This song helped me so much to the point where if I ever met Florence Welch I would not be able to speak to her because the potency of her music is beyond words to me. Thank you so much. Your music was my food when I couldn't face another spoonful.

[@sammykx0x0]

I know this comment is from 2 years ago but i still had to comment because it is so relatable. I was diagnosed with an eating disorder when i was 12(im 22 now) and March of 2017 i was transferred from an acute inpatient psych unit to the medical hospital where i spent 21 days with an nj tube. Florence's music helped me get through so much and gave me not only strength, but something i could relate to both while in the hospital and while trying to recover on my own. I hope you are still doing well with recovery♡

[@wyrdmagyk4969]

she really is a wonderful gal...one of the nicest I have ever met...I sorta suspect she wrote this one for me...along with No Light, No Light...lol

[@dydb3]

wow. you are amazing to have survived such a thing, I hope you are doing well!

[@winterd0tter]

wtf same, like i relate so much to flo, like her feeling like she always ruins relationships (my friend outright told me im a shitty friend and am never gonna be able to have a romantic relationship) and also this everpresent burden of perfectionism, so her songs really go right to my heart. its propably not a coincidence my favourite songs are Hunger and Various Storms And Saints, two of her most personal songs. It really is beautiful to find someone else like you in this world. It is comforting to know that I am not alone. Discovering FaTM is the best thing that's ever happened to me, and if I ever got the honor of meeting her words could not express my gratefulness and love for her music. I found them when I was alone and lost and scared and I was really depressed and wanted my life to end, and then suddenly someone else wrote songs that made me feel "I am not alone anymore."

[@kerryholland4822]

I was an anorexic inpatient in 2004 and this song has done the exact same for me, the whole album. All I want to do is meet her and tell her how her music saved me through my darkest days ... if I could speak also!

[@JsRf13]

"Hey, look up, you don't have to be a ghost here amongst the living you are flesh and blood and you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you are given" I really needed to hear that right now. Florence is a gift from God and I am very thankful.

[@danielj8858]

"and oh how much" tears me up

[@argusgoose8758]

[@thebard5019]

Sometimes we just pick the songs we need to hear not even realizing it

[@alext4105]

"You don't have to be a ghost here amongst the living. You are flesh and blood. And you deserved to be loved, and you deserve what you are given." Those lyrics right there, are why this song is my favourite on the album, because even though her songs are speaking about some pretty dark stuff, you arrive on this song, and it's like there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have loved Flo for a very long time now, and she will never cease to amaze me.

[@imogenkelly793]

You're so right. This is also my favourite song of the album. A lot of people criticise Florence for her morbid content in her songs such as terror and pain but she completely paints her canvas of lyrics with experience. It is weaved into the fibre of each song and it is stunning. But I can't help but smile at your comment because it's exactly what I think, this song is such a happy one, it's about taking all of that terror and pain and just saying I'm here now and things are good, I also love 'Cause your pain is a tribute, the only think you let hold you, wear it now like a mantle, always there to remind you' it says remember the pain to see how far you've come, you can't ever forget completely, so take it in your strife, learn from it, change into who you really want to be

[@magickh18]

Yes I agree with you both. Such powerful lyrics and video. The video says so much more.

[@arthurqueiroz5821]

I literally started crying after reading this comment. Couldn't agree more

[@PedroBrazz]

This song is the last one of the album and something that I reconezied about HBHBHB is how much it talks about the pain in make mistakes and recover from it. Do you remeber that speach in the beguining of the "Delilah" video? "... people are falible beings, they make mistakes. They have to be excused from this mistakes, and alow to continue on their quest for a better life...". He's talking about this song, how sometimes we get hurt but we have fell tha pain, forgive ourselfs about this feeling, till we recover, till we find that "faith" that we misplaced in our soul. Life is a line where we make mistakes after mistakes and learn more and more, one after another. Lifeline is telling us that "don't blame yourself about feeling hurt, dont be ashame of it". Society tells us that is bad to fell hurt, they blame us for it. Don't be ashemd, don't close yourself in pain, don't became a ghost becase of it. Scream out loud that u're in pain. You don't have to keep it to yourself. Sorry for the long text, is just that I fell so much empowered by this song

[@EricTheNarwal]

The ending is a perfect end to the odessy. She repeats the words " im the same, im the same im tryna change" and with each repeat her tone actually does change and gets more confident and powerful, and finally on the last repeat she pauses, and the holds the note on the last "change". Essentially her singing mirrors her lyrics of wanting to change.

[@ethanrapp6998]

My thoughts exactly. It's absolutely glorious and one of my favorite endings to anything ever.

me 2 its so hard because when you do change i feel that people almost become afraid of you because light repels dark. just like the kingdom of heaven does to us.

[@razrv3lc]

I’ve literally never cared about that line until she was singing it acapella here and it suddenly felt like the entire key to the whole song

[@uneek35]

My favorite music genre is "Songs sung in third person that are secretly about the singer"

[@JesseColton]

razrv3lc Me too. That line is what made this song click for me and now it's my absolute favorite

[@andrewlev2230]

The fact she sings this, as the last song of The Odyssey, is so incredibly powerful leading up to High as Hope. She did change, she did get better, and she wants to inspire people that the struggles we face don't have to negatively impact our lives. I saw her live at the Hollywood Bowl and her raw energy is just something I can never truly describe. She took all the pain she has suffered since Lungs, learned from it, and has transformed into someone who is not perfect but has come to accept that she deserves happiness like we all do. Bravo Florence Welch. Bravo....

I like this version more than the original. The way she sings "I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change" especially the last time - it's so beautiful. Very raw and you just know that whoever found her stumbled onto gold. This whole journey where she made the Odyssey is just stunning and it changed my life, watching it.

Her idea of heaven is to be onstage.

[@jardelribeiro4618]

this!

[@stevencross6189]

+BookFreakyTube such is the life of an extrovert

[@sjsbmksps]

+steven cross she doesn't seem like one.. typical... idk

[@stevencross6189]

KitsuneYu to be an artist is to be introverted to be a performer is to be extroverted. As someone who is both she must have both characteristics. Most people favor the other heavily but the best musicians tread that line carefully. someone like Prince is a phenomenal example as he was incredibly flamboyant and in your face yet very private about his own personal life which makes him mysterious as well.

[@sjsbmksps]

+steven cross oooh, that makes sense, because I have seen such people many times in various places and seems they never want to fall under any generalisation so that makes me perceive the world in a utterly complex way 😣😁 (geting swayed and pulled in by them can also be irritating at times, but shhhh)

[@zetirka]

the whole album like a scream of all of that inside of the storm that rages and beats you wave after wave. But then the storm calms down, you have something new for yourself you know. Inhale exhale, you feel calm and lift your head to meet the sun

[@alposphere]

+Anna Chelesheva So true!

[@insain98]

do you think it was a mistake that she doesn't finish "I'm tryin to change" in the end or it's symbolic? Also the tree girls standing at the room where they dance? So conceptual but i like the idea :D

[@zetirka]

+insain98 No. the ending certainly interesting)) I think in the end she wants to say, that in fact you need to take yourself. As the man says in Chapter 8:" love yourself, forgive yourself. You can not love and forgive others until you love and forgive yourself". So, the storm inside us. And the fact that all what around us depends on our perception of it. That is how we relate to it.

[@insain98]

+Anna Chelesheva I figured that out, thats ok. What I meant to ask was that she doesn't finish singing the word "same" in the very end when the curtains come off

[@zetirka]

insain98 sorry, I dont understand your question at first time.As for me, the culmination would not be so bright if she sang this whole phrase until the end. And perhaps an emphasis on the "same" the rest of the sentence she sang quietly to herself))

[@pedrodemetrius4043]

I have chronic depression, even I taking my medicines day by day, sometimes I see no lights, I’m swallowed by the devil on my own mind, weakness and sorrow’s home. But this song, specifically, bring me the feelings that I’m surround by a secret power and inner strength. I tattooed a eye on my middle finger and touch my forehead to remind me that I’m same but I’m trying to change

[@Bafael_Reyna]

For those who wonder where's chapter 7, they renamed the videos as follow: What kind of man - Chapter 1 How big how blue how beautiful - Chapter 2 St. Jude - Chapter 3 Ship to wreck - Chapter 4 Queen of peace & Long and Lost - Chapters 5 &6 Delilah - Chapter 8 Third eye - Chapter 9 The videos are numbered as in the film. Which rises the questions, are we getting a Mother video (chapter 7)? Are we getting a Various storms & saints (this is less likely, but personal favorite so one can only dream). Florence, I love you. You are the best. You are inspirational in your way to each of the people who are fond of you. Greetings from Mexico

[@lordrclam]

+rafa reyna I just looked at director Vincent Haycock's Vimeo page and the only chapters that are numbered are - QOP/L+L as chapters 4+5, Delilah as chapter 6.

While this isn't my favorite song out of HBHBHB, it is the only one that makes me cry. Watching it as part of the entire odyssey is surreal. This woman is a gift to this world. I can't wait for an 8th time.

[@aezekielthewriter]

It's so different how much weight this song carries in The Odyssey compared to the album. That ending feels a lot more heartbreaking and immediate than the song does on the album. The album tells the same story, I think, but it does it in a more roundabout way - The Odyssey feels a lot more personal, just because of the way the songs are arranged (also because of her performances, but a lot of it is where the songs are in relation to one another). All the same, I do really like the way the songs are arranged on the album - I'm just glad she wasn't afraid to mix the order up for the film.

my favourite part of this video is the beginning when she starts singing, how she doesn't look overjoyed, like she still has problems she needs to work through, but she looks.. at peace, like she is finally being released from the things haunting her. Like she's finally forgiven herself and is finally learning to love herself after her life was completely changed

[@allenerin01]

I think what I love the most out of this project, is that even after the beautiful journey of self discovery and self love, after remembering and living through some of the most painful things in life, she recognizes the importance of her own self discovery and goes back out into the world and puts the good she has found and the good she wants to see back into the world. And it's as important for her as a person and an artist to give that energy as it is for us, the viewers and the fans and the witches and christians and muslims and athiests and everyone to receive that love and energy from others, especially through art and music. But I'm going down waaaay to far my rabbit hole so i digress.

[@jabriibrahim8735]

This was about her struggle for inner peace... she knows she gets lost ( alcohol and partying ) when she's left to her own devices... but she's trying to change for her fans.

[@carlosr8359]

I am in a moment when I find myself overcome with my old relationship, and today I remember that this whole album served as a great support during the most difficult moments. The most beautiful thing is that this song today serves as a reminder of everything that I went through, who I once one day in my past and that in order to live I need to keep walking towards the best version of myself (i strongly feel this principally in the last part when she repeats "I'm the same. I'm the same. I'm trying to change"). That, despite being overcome, I know that all my demons from the past were once so real and painful for me, and that all this difficult phase was necessary for today to be here, better and more mature. I am so grateful for this art that Florence offered to the world. I'm sure that this whole odyssey was a balm for people who once found themselves in that same dark place in their lives. For the people who arrived here and find themselves in a difficult situation: I hope that Odyssey will also warm your hearts in the same way that it happened to me one day. Believe me, you will get over it and all of this will one day become just memories, and all of you will be able to be grateful for that.

Goosebumps. My school show choir performed this a year or 2 ago. Song definitely inspired the name of my own song called "Lifeline"

[@loveharrydaily]

3:45 and beyond. That was beautifully powerful. Made me cry. Florence is ethereal.

[@GiammuR]

LYRICS: That original lifeline Original lifeline That original lifeline Hey, look up Don't make a shadow of yourself Always shutting out the light Caught in your own creation Look up, look up It tore you open And oh, how much? Cause there's a hole where your heart lies And I see can it with my third eye And though my touch, it magnifies You pull away, you don't know why That original lifeline Original lifeline That original lifeline Hey, look up You don't have to be a ghost Hidden amongst the living You are flesh and blood And you deserve to be loved And you deserve what you are given And oh, how much? Cause there's a hole where your heart lies And I see can it with my third eye And though my touch, it magnifies You pull away, you don't know why That original lifeline Original lifeline That original lifeline Original lifeline Cause there's a hole where your heart lies And I see can it with my third eye And though my touch, it magnifies You pull away, you don't know why That original lifeline Original lifeline That original lifeline Cause your pain is a tribute The only thing you let hold you Well now I'm a memento Always there to remind you But your pain is a tribute The only thing you let hold you Well now I'm a memento Always there to remind you I'm the same, I'm the same I'm try'na change I'm the same, I'm the same I'm try'na change I'm the same, I'm the same I'm try'na change I'm the same, I'm the same I'm try'na change Cause there's a hole where your heart lies And I see can it with my third eye And though my touch, it magnifies You pull away, you don't know why That original lifeline Original lifeline That original lifeline I'm the same, I'm the same I'm try'na change

"you don't have to be a ghost here amongst the living you are flesh and blood and You deserve to be loved and you deserve what you want given" is such a mood 💯

I took my first boyfriend; Micheal, to his first concert. He was older i think by 4/5 years. We went to your concert in TORONTO. You were AMAZING. I've never seen so much energy and fearlessness from a performer. I believe it was 2012? The last year of my high school experience. Anyway, You ran out into the crowd to feel everyone's energy n spirits / where we are [nwo] [now] / the state of the world. I was standing in the back chairs almost in the fields but I felt like I was first row. Miss you and your stuff dearly. - Sarah

[@sarahibrahim4631]

Im kinda of in between wanting Florence to stop torturing me with those amazingly done, unique music videos. Also I want her to drop a new one everyday if she can.

[@makeupmommy7868]

I just wanted to say that your music helped one of my friends through depression. Your saved her life because your music brings so much positivity and beautiful energy❤️ Thank you so much!

[@gus828]

"...You don't have to be a ghost hidden amongst the living, you are flesh and blood and you deserve to be loved..." ♥♥♥

[@sbondiw7943]

This song helped me make a choice that made my life just a bit better tonight. It's just about...breaking open. Casting off that sad and empty shell we tell ourselves we deserve

[@fantasticbeck3938]

start listening to this at 11:55:22 if you want to ring in the new year on the last "I'm the same I'm the same I'm trying to change"

[@fantasticbeck3938]

or, alternatively, start it at 11:55:27 if you want to ring in the new year right on the last "change"

[@Omo_oshunnn]

my favorite artist hands down

[@ultimateruffles5761]

the end never fails to make me cry

[@RonOilers]

“I’m the same I’m insane I’m tryna change”

[@Ashtree28]

My heart is so full, I don't even have language to express how this makes me feel. I'm no poet like Florence is, but I need to put this out there. My soul is somehow much heavier but in a good way? I feel her music physically - it's like a force of nature or some transcendental element or something. I've never had this experience with any other music, only hers. She's truly something special, and that doesn't even begin to cover how I feel, I really can't accurately put it into words. But I'm sure you all understand.

[@fellipedacosta3074]

I'm feel the same thing everyday when I hear this song. Amen, Florence.

[@chi2om]

it's official. she's definitely my spirit animal

[@armandholloway4742]

I could listen to her voice layered for the rest of my life. Her harmonies are beautiful. What a voice!

[@amberwatson3297]

“you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you’ve been given” this is the most beautiful thing she could’ve said whilst starting this journey

[@ChaimaDZ]

[@55df73]

Chyme DZ omg!!! your profile pic!!! be my friend!!!(?)

[@ChaimaDZ]

Ichibanes Bam friendship borne

[@laurry]

Florence puts so much effort into her music and not the people that are famous for shaking their ass. sigh. Florence needs to be more famous

[@cameronstith7145]

I feel as I have found a better version of myself with every thing she makes and I relate so much with her

[@dennisbrown629]

I am Tasha and I loooooove Flo she is so powerfully unique....i needed this it's one of those times In my original life tiiiiiiiiiiime and this is tremendously soothing and touching

[@debeegrant5162]

Florence this video just invoked a healing in me and I absolutely broke down sobbing. Thank you M'lady! May you BE Brightly Blessed!

[@AMJ25]

Probably my favorite song on the album.

[@Sleepflowrr]

I feel like she is reading my mind and growing up with her.

[@Jl2damax]

Loved this song, among my top 3 on the album.

[@natalie651]

She's such a beautiful creative artist.

[@Mahoniana]

This album goes beyond music, it's art.

[@Kennybusguy]

The end gave me chills..wow

[@noxe101]

Her music hits differently when I listen to it at night...

[@lucasvinicius4027]

Esse álbum é tão importante pra mim, eu nunca vou ser capaz de descrever em palavras o tanto que amo o HBHBHB. Que sorte poder prestigiar uma artista igual a Florence

[@JakeShaefferr]

Well well well, wasn't expecting this @ 5AM

[@armandholloway4742]

I'M THE SAME, I'M THE SAME, I'M TRYING TO CHANGE. This album is super underrated

[@sandragowie9113]

Just love💚the way she word's🙏🏽 her 🎵 songs🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💚

[@ChaseChaseChaseChaseChase]

Thank you so much for this album and this journey through your Odyssey. This era changed me seriously, I love you so much.

[@deespresso7033]

I think you just saved my life.

[@gioa.1470]

ok so this song helped me through my severe anxiety times and still do, yep Florence is this powerful

[@sunshineramirez7766]

Damn👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾when she starts to say "I'm the same,I'm the same,I'm trying to change" she starts off weak,kinda quiet. Then the closer she gets to the crowd the louder she is,the stronger. At some point the voices almost drown her out,until she finally let's go. Then the voices work in harmony with her, while she leads them. So symbolic.
