Photograph Lyrics Options

[Deku]

Hey folks, I've transcribed the lyrics to Photograph below, best I could, and maybe if anyone has corrections and we can get it right, it can go up in the lyrics section

So much hate
Since you cut me down
So much waste
For such a tired town chocked full of grace
Talkin’ pound for pound
Love tired and chaste

Photograph everything
From sea to salt and back to sea
Photograph everyone
‘til the man gets high
And the mirrors bleed

So much hate
Since you cut me down
So long to wait
For such a tired town
Chocked full of grace

Photograph everything
From sea to salt and back to sea
Photograph everyone
‘til the man gets high
And the mirrors bleed

I know you’re waiting for me to come undone
Should you fall down
I’ll make it clear
Should you follow
And change the world

Photograph everything
From sea to salt and back to sea
Photograph everyone
‘til the man gets high
And the mirrors bleed

So much hate
Since you cut me down
So long to wait
For such a tired town
Chocked full of grace
Love tired and chaste


The word before 'full of grace' sounds like 'chocked', and that just about makes sense for me. Two words in the bridge, - he could be saying 'fall up' instead of 'follow' (I know that makes no sense but this is a) Ed and b) from the SS era. also, 'change the world' could be 'change the one'

peace,

D


EDIT: Removed 'the' from ''from sea to the salt'' .

Also, ''talkin' pound for pound'' could potentially be ''took in pound for pound'' but "talkin'" seems to make more sense to me so I'll leave it as is.

i'm hearing 'til the maggots hide'

That's a good shout. I remember when I was transcribing it I wrote 'magatire'. I knew that's not what it was, but I might be able to draw conclusions from looking at it. 'maggots hide' comes pretty close. I don't know what he's singing about, but it's no more obscure than 'man gets high'. I'll have a few more listens, but it sounds like it could be right.
