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.

Mumford and Sons

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."

"Beholden now I find myself awake. Waiting on the edge again. You sleep so sound with your mind made up.Drinking from your cup of broken ends."

"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."

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
