Lyrics

Sharper than a Knife
Written by John von Ahlen

Verse 1
It was only a matter of time
Before I had to say goodbye
Johnny 7 knows I'm right
We talk about it all the time

Pre Chorus
I told you lies, I even compromised
I tell you
I'll never feel that way again

Chorus
Why did you try to change me I thought you'd realise?
It took me so long, but now that you're gone I'm fine!
You hurt me so bad, I don't know if you can understand
That your love cut me sharper than a knife

Verse 2
Now I hope you understand
Biggest person in the land
That is something you are not
My self respect is all I've got

Repeat Pre Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Sweet song and video!!! I'd never heard of Parralox until I received a YouTube recommendation. Over the last few days, I've constantly been on your YouTube channel to listen to your uploads and I'm very impressed with the quality of your work.

[TheSloganOfficial]

1950-60's theme with 80's music! LOVE IT!!

[thevox]

Parralox needs to be playing the radios here in the states. This shit is cool, cousins. Way better than the sorry excuse we have for pop/dance mix music here. Seems the Aussies haven't forgotten the real 80's synth driven grooves that made pop popular to begin with. John, you're a god on the keys.

[abstractionmusic]

I absolutely LOVE this - and the Pete Hammond mix is just sublime.

[BridgitteRaven]

great song, even better sound and production. dare i say kinda sounds like Madonna, not sure if pple are offended or flattered by that anymore, but I dig it.

[nickmorrell]

What a great song ..love amis voice ..right up my street. Synth with a twist ..very Eurasia

[kevdmanful]

my new favourite band. great work too with ryan adames!

stay tuned to this video for 'Freakopolis' which plays during the credits!

[lilmonsterchip]

This song!!! Its so.... so beautiful. Definitely a song to have on repeat!!! <3

[marygarrison]

Just heard of this band a few days ago. This is one of my new fave tracks :)

[chrisstorey]

Perfection Australian Electronica Parralox - All go hand in hand. Thank You John .

[CandyAppleBlue]

FABULOUS! Congratulations on not only the fantastic song but the super 50's themed music video to accompany it! #80s #synthpop #electro #electronic #awesome #electropop

[LaceraBathori]

I am just absolutely stupified by Parralox's uncanny, strong sense of narrative and how it achieves cohesion and unity with their modernistic style of design! I still love the older Roxy version as one of my first key introductions to Parralox but Amii nails it with perfection and finesse!

[johngalt]

Techno Gold! I'm listening on Sennheiser headphones and this song is Audio Magic!

[Thekrisavalon]

I love this song. Added it on my blog as the best song of 2012.

[CraigL]

Fantastic track, video and album. A must have for any music collection. :)

[JoeBribiesca]

LOL After reading down a we bit I see everyone's raving about PH's mix...but both are good! Both contain that addictive and bubbly 80s feel!

[briscoethecollie]

Loving this song, it's kindda like 25% EBM with 75% pop, but good pop. Guys you are my favourite band of the day,

[AndreasSchwarzDreasFF]

Wenn Auge und Ohr das Hirn mit Input fluten und man nicht weis ob zuerst sehen oder hören. Und mal wieder das Outro Extraklasse, erinnert mich an die Post-Credits Szenen der Marvel Filme.

[JoeBribiesca]

Although the Pete Hammond mix has hooked my ear the most...I think this is a great track! Stumbled across it on Vsauce2's BiDiPi. Keep up the good work, guys!

[cantforgetyou]

I like the PWL version also very much!!!!
