I thought I'd have a go at transcribing the lyrics from G.L.O.W.

Post what you think they are.

Lyrics (in brackets) are approximate. These ones are probably way off.

I'm so alone, I'm so alone, I'm thinking
I'm so alone, I can't get old
I'm so alone, I'm so alone, I can't get off of you

You only love yourself
You only love yourself and no-one else
(There)/(buried)in yourself
(Come in, the time) (is)/(for this)
(One is true)/(one last trip) (to who)

Come on, come on, come on,
Can you feel it?
Come on, come on, come on,
Can you feel it glow?
(So/Slow) (in you) is that (loving you)/(nothing new)/(no-one ...)

I'm so alone, I'm so alone, I'm sinking
I'm so alone, I can't get love (you)

You only love yourself
You only love yourself and no-one else
(There)/(buried)in yourself
(Come in,) you drive me crazy,
(One is true)/(one last trip) (to who)

Come on, come on, come on,
Can you feel it?
Come on, come on, come on,
Can you feel it glow?

(So/Slow) (in you) is that (loving you)/(nothing new)/(no-one ...)

It's (so)/(not) sick/strange
You're sick (of me)

It's (so)/(not) sick/strange
(I'm)/(It's) (not) so strange
To (lose)

Come on, come on, come on,
Can you feel it?

(repeat)

Come on, come on, come on,
Can you feel it glow?

He's saying glow not slow isn't he?

I thought so.

"Zoom".

A few things that worry me about G.L.O.W.:

With Zeitgeist, I found that many of the songs played live, they were much heavier then than they were in the studio recording (mainly United States). I don't want that to be the case with G.L.O.W., but it very well could be.
Also, we won't have Ginger or Lisa's backing vocals in the studio version... and I think they really help the song in concert.

And I hope the studio version isn't slowed down, like Superchrist. This live version is so fast, so much energy!! I hope that doesn't change.

Anyone else hold these fears?

Man, I should have waited for the studio version like I wanted to... now my standards have went up for it.

I agree with these 2 points. I felt that Zeitgeist songs such as "United States" and "Starz" lacked the intense energy that they do live. I also feel that "Superchrist" was too slow and didn't even seem that rockin' in the studio version.

But I still love Zeitgeist!!

I saw on the poll that one person has given G.L.O.W. only 1/5. And I was just wondering, for the people out there that actually don't like the song (so far), what is it that you don't like? Now, I'm in the majority that seem to love the song, and I'm wondering what it is that some may not like about it...

I gave it a 4/5, but it could go down 1 star based on the studio version.

I answered it that I'm waiting for the studio version. I'm trying not to judge it until I hear that.

They soooo don't say "glow", I heard a "ssss" sound, not a "g" sound.

Song blows the shit out of most of the Zeitgeist stuff, and I like Zeitgeist. Anyone else see traces of BWBW in here?

Sounds VERY promising, and I could totally see this as being a big single. Not saying it will be, but it's got the potential for sure. I can't wait for it's release.

I really really really wish it said "glow"... but I'm afraid you're right about the "s" sound...

And TurnsLeftLooksRight, I don't know if it necessarily reminds me of BWBW, but that dark bass line (as well as the tone for the rest of the song) really reminds me of MCIS era songs. Maybe it's because a riff or two is from Zoom, which was written in the mid-90's...

And unless they put the lyrics for the song in the physical copy released in the Europe, we may only be able to suggest good guess for what is said (unless it's really clear in the studio version)

Also... I don't know if it sounds like it too much, but I think it'd be really cool if the lyrics were:

Come on, come on, come on
can you feel it?
Come on, come on, come on
can you feel it glow (not "now" )
