The Slow Summits - The Spirit of the Lyrics Lyrics

From heaven sent
A pretty face and a voice like honey
You jumped into entertainment
A dream to get love, fame and money

So to be heard
You sang the lyrics someone lent
Stuffed with all these pretty words
But you had no idea what they meant

But people were thrilled by your elegant monotone voice
By your lovely but so vacant voice

Because the spirit of the lyrics
Never entered your mind
The spirit of the lyrics
Never entered your mind

Your trembling lips and eyes so blue
Made them believe that what you were singing
Was all self experienced and true
But for you these rhymes had no meaning

No matter if the tune that you were performing
Was intended to be sad or gay
With your tedious way of singing
You made them swiftly sound all the same

Still people were thrilled by your elegant monotone voice
By your lovely but so vacant voice

Because the spirit of the lyrics
Never entered your mind
The spirit of the lyrics
Never entered your mind

But you never found (The spirit of the lyrics)
And you never will (The spirit of the lyrics)
You were never near (The spirit of the lyrics)
Because you never cared

But you never found (The spirit of the lyrics)
And you never will (The spirit of the lyrics)
You were never near (The spirit of the lyrics)
Because you never cared

But why?
You didn't even try
Needless to say you're not the passionate one
But did you even realize that you were singing about love?

And why (The spirit of the lyrics)
Didn't you sing about your life? (The spirit of the lyrics)
The words you sing don´t mean a thing, if you don't comprehend (The spirit of the lyrics)
So write your own words from your heart (The spirit of the lyrics)
And it will all make sense
