"The Shade" Lyrics :::
[Verse 1]
I'm following the sun
That's setting in the West
We're floating on a bed of fading lights
A canopy of trees
Bears witness to the breeze
I'm falling like a feather, soft and light
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
[Chorus]
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
[Verse 2]
The embers of a fire still burning as they die
Stay bright to keep us side by side
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
[Chorus]
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
[Bridge]
We got the sunshine
We got the shade
We got temptation
We got it made
We got rewarded
We got refused
We got distorted
We got confused
We got the sunshine
We got the shade
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
[Chorus]
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

Just heard this song on your movie I love it I can't stop listening to it

[@Falcon256]

so I've just discovered this song and now Im going to play it 1000 times.

Listen to Synthetica and Fantasies next, it's easily their best work. Old World Underground Where Are You Now is a jam too.

Yes holy shit this song is amazing and if somehow an Alien race wanted to hear our version of music I would choose this 10000x over the garbage mumble rap everyone seems to listen to.

[@1garry499]

Emily. Your voice, the guys... Your lifes work keeps getting better and better. Thank you to speaking for us. Thank you for shareing your complications, our complications, an putting them to amazing music. Your gods in my mind. Thank you thank you thank you.

My gosh so cool it happened to me a couple weeks ago. Some car went by blasting Black Sheep. Then in the store I'm getting 🍌 and a young lady with pink hair next to me humming it. I said "Seen them in concert"? We had a great talk!

[@moder123]

Metric is so underrated and deserves far more international attention. Such a great band!!!!

[@dannycampbell4741]

This song is amazing. The first time I heard it I wasn't sure how to feel but multiple listens helped me truly appreciate it. It's now my favorite Metric song, and this is coming from a long time fan.

[@indigotears]

Danny Campbell I felt the same way, I didn't know if I liked it at first but the more I played it the more I enjoyed it and then I ended up loving it. I find myself singing it in my head almost every day it's a great song.

[@reekuza]

+Danny Campbell I had the opposite reaction. I was jamming out within 30s.. it's rare for me to get so involved with a song the first go around but when it does, it is such an amazing feeling.

[@MJubeily]

+Danny Campbell You should also hear "The Other Side" such an epic song

[@uwuphobia728]

it turned out to be a fun song. i almost stopped listening to it bc it's beep bleep part bothered me a little, but im glad i gave it a chance

[@alonsogonzalez7539]

+Lana Del Bae the bleep bleep also turned me off at first listening, then I found the acoustic version #SongWithNoName and I fell in love with the song; then I came back to the album version and I feel in love with it as well. Now I still can't decide what version I prefer

[@rybaneightsix5085]

This song is far ahead of its time.

[@alasings]

I don't think there is a single song from metric that I haven't liked. They always come out with a new sound but it always has metric feels.

[@bmille2121]

ALA A My sweet love the best lover I ever had died of cancer last August 10, 2017 and she left metric we were going to be together one day but she had a crazy ass five a month battle of cancer and then died and I was a long-distance relationship we would’ve had to wait a few years but I would’ve waited for her forever hoping to find out love again and if there’s anybody out there I wants that kind of love where is my fucking email just don’t play games with me. [e-mail]

[@Erilis000]

@italkcrab I get that. I feel like Grow Up and Blow Away was the weirdest album for me, but I enjoyed it nonetheless

[@stephaniegwaltney917]

Yes!!! Exactly!!!!🤣✌🏻🙌

[@100Megapixelz]

This song cheers me up everytime I hear it.

[@kodyprice3107]

+Akamaru Hell yea. Whenever I'm having a crappy day just throw this song on and I'm happy again haha.

[@froomite]

+devin james actually it's a moonlit sea not moonlit seen

[@Saint3188]

Me too.

[@ahugefrickingturtle1824]

+Saint318 you're not a moonlit seen?

[@Saint3188]

+Navarog I have heard the song many times it's moonlight Sea I know.

[@quillmaurer6563]

Not sure if this is the intention of the song, but what I take from it is that it's describing the euphoria of being in love. Seemingly mundane things, "a blade of grass, a grain of sand" become incredible, one becomes excited about them, wanting everything in life, "all there is and ever was." A feeling I've experienced, but not in a few years.

[@jonwhatthehell303]

"Bored Hot 100" >>> the shade they throw at Billboard lol Metric rocks! \m/

[@marziolottarox7126]

[@kevinmaz7772]

Saw you last night budweiser stage Toronto. Best show I've been to in a very long time..

[@JoeFec]

The voice - it's like you hear her and don't want to not have that voice still going on in your head. Such an amazing band and a perfect video to boot.

[@The-Aurum-Rider]

IKR? Had her stuck in mine for years! And only part of the chorus too! I've only just now found the full song and associated band! It's such a relief to finally track down this earworm *ohmygawd!*

[@DaleGreendag]

Songs like this is why you're by far my favorite band. So phenominal

[@drewc7815]

I'm so pissed off that this incredible band has so many albums out and yet I've only heard one of their songs play on the radio ("Help, I'm Alive") I'm seeing comments from people talking about how they might be changing their sound to become more mainstream, if they are or if they are not, I completely trust in their judgment for their sound. Imagine being them and working so hard on music and making some seriously killer tracks and getting barely any recognition, they have less video views in total than some of these musicians get in just days! I think it's about time Metric REALLY gets to jump into the spotlight, they deserve it. I'm a longtime fan and I have enjoyed hearing their sound change over the years, I don't believe it's them selling out or trying to be mainstream, I think it's just them evolving as a band. I've got so much respect and admiration for Metric, keep rocking on!

[@everettm1425]

+J Boodles I actually hear a lot of their songs on the radio! I hear them a bit on top 40 but mostly on indie/alternative stations

[@NoirFemme]

Pagans in Vegas sounds like Old World Underground meets Synthetica, so no "selling out" to me.

[@mattsimonsen5434]

+J Boodles "...comments...about how they might be changing their sound to become more mainstream, if the are or if they are not, I completely trust in their judgement for their sound." I completely agree with you! My favorite band for several years now. Lotta' integrity they have, in my book.

[@drewc7815]

Maddy Lisinski I'll have to check out some indie stations online because there aren't any stations here that play them (Tampa,Fl.)

[@drewc7815]
