Lyrics:
Play with me
You can make the love, I’ll make the money
Stay with me
Shut out the world, live underneath the city
Release cold gender bombs on colonial closet middle England
Stay with meI’ll be Peter Pan and you just be pretty
To the brave and the petrified
We all fall down
To the slave and the civilized
We all fall down
to the lovers we left behind
The bad days, the good nights
In the great shipwreck of life
We all fall down
Born we are
Between the hard black rock and the code of the immortal
Torn from cars
From the flames of the brave and the bosom we can’t return to
We light up the bars of the world with the decadent essence of innocence
Free but sharp
We can be the satellite guiding through the dark
To the brave and the petrified
We all fall down
To the slave and the civilized
We all fall down
to the lovers we left behind
The bad days, the good nights
In the great shipwreck of life
We all fall down
We can make you understand

I LITERALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE HOW FUCKING BEAUTIFUL THIS IS

[@HJPhilippi]

Oh Chris, I cannot express how much I adore you for songs like this. A lighthouse of beauty, a monument of eternal grace. And thereby you give meaning to our simple lives.

How to Get Away With Murder took the cake last night... I'm still amazed by that finale!

[@giordy9013]

I'm deeply satisfied with the combination of musics and scenes in HTGAWM, this song was perfect for that chaotic scene, everything happened so quickly, it was so thrilling, just like the song

[@ajcast2856]

That scene lives in my mind rent free

[@Ophelia11]

This song has been on my playlist for years and I couldn't remember where I'd heard it. Thanks to the commenters here mentioning HTGAWM, because that's it.

[@FantasialiveAkkrman]

That bass and piano and electronical magic music that created by magician hand. Chris is truly magician. Well, thanks for the crew of EXO-M CeCi photoshoot that use this song, since then i'm falling in love with IAMX and his music is mah jam.

[@cefishb]

Ohhhh HTGAWM what awesome songs you use! this song is simply perfect! and goes so well with the scenes in the ep.

[@sharpayevans1086]

Why is this album no longer on UK itunes? I know it was once, what happened to it?

[@adrianapinzon9026]

"El Gran Naufragio de la Vida", no lo sé pero es un concepto realmente interesante

[@dgblvkbxb]

I abandoned Rap, to join more authentic sources since 2001/2002. After years of listening to Sneaker Pimps, I find iamX solo, the legend for me 🙌🏽💫🌟 Open the Vortex 🌀🤩

[@supershinakuma]

I heard this beautiful and powerful song in Murder season 2 ep 9, put the tv show on pause and went straight on youtube to listen it :)

“I’ll be pizza pan and you just be pretty.”

[@cilanatroisbetterthanparsley]

I can't unhear it now. Absolutely amazing lmao

[@rossweisse4638]

I'll be Peter Pan and you just be pretty.

[@botuwu7175]

what life is actually its just a shipwreck cause nothing can stay positive forever only negativeity can live on

[@kirbypopstarian1198]

and typos too apparently :P

[@ADevilFromHeaven]

But still we have to hold on to the little things that keeps us going.

[@aspiringwayfarer]

What is grief, if not love preserving? But unfortunately the human brain is wired to remember the worst memories more often than the good times, or even the content “everything goes right” times. We remember the pain more often than the pleasure, sadly. I wish it weren’t true.

[@ADevilFromHeaven]

@@aspiringwayfarer Yes, why is that? I have so many things to be happy about but yet i cant seeem to ever be happy again knowing I will never be with my (now ex) lover again and our (his) animals

[@aspiringwayfarer]

@@ADevilFromHeaven I think that maybe, as an evolutionary survival instinct, we might remember bad times easier or more often as a way to avoid them in the future. For example, if we remember eating a red berry makes us sick, but a green berry is safe, that will allow us to choose the correct berry going forward. If we didn’t, we might be more likely to eat the wrong one and get sick. Also, if we remember that the stovetop is hot and hurt when it last burned us, we would be more likely to not touch it again when it’s hot. Otherwise it’d burn us again. But that’s just my theory 🤷‍♂️

[@mirandaabrilfacuse1927]

me recuerdan a DEPECHE MODE, me gusta eso

I'll be Peter Pan and you just be pretty... omg i really love this song

[@wakeupsonofmine]

Anyone knows name of the 2nd singer in this song? It sounds like girly voice but not sure (starts at 2.15)

[@lucvermeersen4838]

That should be mrs. Gezang.

[@dontembargomalin]

Janine records backing vocals for iamx since this album, and for re-releases of previous albums she even redid some of Chris' tracks to make them sound more like they do it live
