12 Mumford & Sons Lyrics That Will Give You Goosebumps Every Time

I guess the truth works two ways. Maybe the truth's not what we need.

In This Article:

In celebration of the release of Delta (their new album) on November 16th, I was inspired to collect together some of my favorite lyrics that have always resonated with me throughout the years. Mumford and Sons have been my favorite since I was an angsty middle-schooler and now as an angsty adult. The one band I am not ashamed to say still gives me goosebumps to this day and have moved me so much I even have a dedicated tattoo on...a good portion of my forearm.

In case you needed any reason to check them out - here it is!

"Because death is just so full and man so small. Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before."

"Keep the earth below my feet. From my sweat, my blood runs weak. Let me learn from where I have been. Oh keep my eyes to serve, my hands to learn."

"You were strangely less in pain than you were cold. Triumphant in your mind, of the logic that you hold. You said no one would ever know the love that we had shared. As I took my leave to go it was clear you didn't care."

"Now look at you all torn up. I left you waiting to bleed. I guess the truth works two ways. Maybe the truth's not what we need."

"Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all. But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall. Lend me your eyes I can change what you see. But your soul you must keep, totally free."

"You saw my pain washed out in the rain. Broken glass, saw the blood run from my veins. But you saw no fault, no cracks in my heart. And you knelt beside my hope torn apart."

"So I'll be a shadow of the flame, I lent down to kiss you then erased my name. And I'll be a whisper on the wind. My hands are shaking from holding so tight for so long."

"But if your strife strikes at your sleep, remember spring swaps snow for leaves. You'll be happy and wholesome again when the city clears and sun ascends."

"So fuck your dreams. And don't you pick at our seams. I'll turn into a monster for you, if you pay me enough. None of this counts, a few dreams, plowed up."

"If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could have won."

"I wrestled long with my youth. We tried so hard to live in the truth. But do not tell me all is fine, when I lose my head, I lose my spine."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
