Labyrinth Of Dreams – Nox Arcana
In attesa che, credo si sia smarrita visto manca davvero da un po’, torni l’ispirazione … faccio come va di moda oggi; vecchia idea, ma in formato diverso e con qualche aggiunta 😀
Il titolo mi ha riportato alla mente un articolo di un anno or sono che quindi vado ad accorpare
A volte, mentre si vaga nel labirinto dei sogni, capita di trovare l’uscita prima del tempo
La notte vi richiama allora alla realtà in modo crudele
Il sogno frettoloso si allontana e il sonno lo segue a breve distanza
L’animo si ritrova ottenebrato e il cuore un po’ smarrito
Gli occhi malinconici persi nell’oscurità cercano allora conforto nelle stelle
Che però non sembrano recepire l’accorato richiamo
Se siete fortunati una leggera acquerugiola giungerà a voi portando refrigerio e, la leggera brezza, sua inseparabile compagna, vi indicherà la strada per rientrare nel labirinto
Anneke van Giersbergen & Agua de Annique – Wonder
Un po’ di sana malinconia autunnale 🙂
Sunset of Age – Anathema
Si sposa bene con il mese 🙂
Settembre è il periodo di transizione tra il crepuscolo estivo e l’alba autunnale
“… the summers died.”
The Cardigans – My Favourite Game
La radio stamani l’ha risvegliata dal sonno
Riposava beata in qualche meandro nascosto
Ammantata dalla patina del tempo si è avvicinata senza farsi notare
Piacevole effetto 🙂
To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie – The Man With The Shovel, Is The Man I’m Going To Marry
Canzone del momento XLVIII
Antimatter – “Relapse”
Look inside and find the parts
Bringing forth the lines of sanity
A broken mind and open heart
Torn apart without lucidity
Consummate and turn the page
Embrace the change from what you used to be
Procreate and fade away
I guess it’s time to face your memories
Broken spirits open fears
Darksome shades combine fragility
Frigid smiles across the miles
Guilty eyes surmise asymmetry
Relapse on both sides of the tracks
Ashing back to taste the irony
Manipulate and slip away
Embrace the shame of what you used to be
Rain washed the panic from today
Decimation of anxiety
Tribulations drift away
Pray tomorrow offers clarity
Rain washed the panic from today
Affirmation of mortality
Trivialities astray
Pray tomorrow brings stability
Canzone del momento XLVII
Emma Ruth Rundle “Oh Sarah”
Oh Sarah
Did you go to God again to change your name
Oh Sarah
Did you try wipe the pale from off your face
Did you try to take the will from out the wave
Oh Sarah
Did you go to ground again in someone’s place
Oh Sarah
Did you try to wipe the frail from your face
Did you try the frail from off your frame
Did you try to take the will from out the wave
Oh my heart
my heart is older now
and how
how it never ends
Oh Sarah
Did you go to ground again for both our sakes
Oh Sarah
Did you try to wipe the freckles from your face
Did you try to take the will from out the wave
Did you try to take the will from out the wave
Oh my heart
my heart is older now
and how
how it never ends
And gone and gone
Canzone del momento XLVII
The Black Angels “The Sniper at the Gates of Heaven”
Where do you go when heaven calls you
What do you do, who do you turn to
How old will you be when they finally catch you
Don’t stop moving, they’re right behind
When there’s no one left on this earth you know
Who can save you kid, so just wake up wake up wake up
What is it like when hell surrounds you
How hot does it get, I think I’ve already felt it
Is there any way out, you better find one
Where do you go, down down the (no idea)
When there’s no one here in this world of truth
Who knows first hand, so just wake up wake up wake up
Canzone del momento XLVI
Forest Of Shadow “Departure”
daylight left with a grand adieus
and i felt its twilight kiss
dancing into my empty stare
clad in a spectrum of dying colors
peering through oblivion
where memories lay waste and wilde
like fragments of a lamentation
sleeping within a lie
daylight left with a grand adieus
and i gazed into its bleak eyes
as it wept the end of my days
with radiance of bitter loss
entering my deep within
where thorns grow without restraint
piercing my blissful sleep
awakening a tragedy
daylight left with a grand adieus
and i saw black draperies fall
to the sound of a whispering nocturne
played gently with the echoing minors of my past
growing withing my mind
like an endless crescendo of melancholy
feeding on my last gleams of hope
as night had set forever
daylight left with a grand adieus
and i found myself in a sea of death
floating helplessly towards the end
drenched in a withering illusion
pulsing through my veins
the lasting torments of a funeral song
that left me singing the opening theme
the soundtrack of my fall
daylight left with a grand adieus
and i asked for its forever hand
stretched out with a euphony of sirens
as if knowing the hour was mine
granting eternal sleep
with distant songs of a farewell dream
i know there is another somewhere
and i would die to meet its smile
Canzone del momento XLV
Chelsea Wolfe “They’ll Clap When You’re Gone”
i can feel the walls closing in
and i don’t want to talk anymore
wish i could quietly slip away
and leave you here with no void
the only reason i stay is to care for you
everything else in me has atrophied
and i am cold and painless now
i want to live but i feel nothing
when can i die, when can i go
when will i be free, when will i know
when can i run – my legs are bound
when can i go, when can i go
was born a blackened seed in the wild
and i never was a child
i was pulled right out of the sea
and the salt – it never left my body
someone opened me up while i was sleeping
and filled my body right up with sand
i carry a heaviness like a mountain
it forces me to remain
alive and ugly, alive and ugly
alive and ugly, alive and ugly
when can i die, when can i go
when will i be free, when will i know
when can i run, my legs are bound
can i leave here, knowing you’ll be strong without me
they’ll clap when you die
they’ll love you when you’re dead
and they’ll understand
and you’ll be forgiven then

Canzone del momento XLIV
“Away” Alcest
lying on the sand
i let my spirit dissappear
from this world
fly away from you
forgotten
vanishing
i wished my mind
could wander without pain
to the gleaming shelters
hidden somewhere in the sun
far away from this world
far away from you
lying on the sand i hear
the distant singing sea
and stare at lonely clouds
fading above me
i wished my mind could join them
i wished my mind could wander free
to the gleaming shelters
hidden somewhere in the sun
far away from this world
far away from you
so far away
Canzone del momento XLIII
“Lullaby In Winter” Green Carnation
When tomorrow comes
All your worrries fly
Hear the lullaby
All will be soft and warm
You will be safe and strong
Hear the lullaby
Can you recall the light?
I know you`re sad because it`s winter
But I can promise you a spring
I know you`re cold, I see you shiver
But I can promise you a spring
Tomorrow`s new
Tomorrow`s warm
Remember, when you`re all alone
I know you`re hurt, I feel it in my heart
But I can promise you a spring
I see you`re down, I see it in your eyes
But I can promise you a spring

“Inevitability” Painted Black
Now I regret not seeing the first snow
Now i regret not being there for you
If only i I had paid attention to you for a while
Instead of disregarding you and wasting our precious time
Shining life
Dying Iight
Shining Star
Dying Star
(Dying Star)
Now I heed your words in my dreams
And Thank you for the road you’ve set for me
Found the will to reach you
Join you in the dying star
Facing the truth of all truths
Knowing, you will die!
Shining life
Dying Iight

Canzone Del Momento XLI
“La Clameur Du Silence” Dark Sanctuary
Glisser lentement dans l’oubli
Perdre doucement toute notion de vie
Accrochée à rien je me noie dans les méandres
de souvenirs que je n’ai pas…
(Voilà des siècles que j’erre…)
De volutes en volutes glisser
Des soupçons d’âmes qui s’effeuillent ravir la flamme
Viens à moi viens dans mes bras car je m’épuise
Donne moi le souffle nécessaire puis endors toi blotti
dans la chaleur de mon étreinte…
Tu m’enchaînes (inexorablement) à ma destinée… mais je n’en ai pas…
Emmène moi là ou je t’envoie
Que l’ombre que je suis s’évanouisse enfin dans le néant
Canzone Del Momento XL
“The Beginning And The End” Anathema
inside this cocoon is a dream
the slot in the box that I keep
burried a hundred miles deep
deep in my soul in a place
that’s surrounded by aeons of silence
And somewhere inside is the key
to everything I want to feel (feel)
but the darks of the dawns of my memory
are lost in a place i can never be
Could someone please show me the way
could someone please tell me
cause I cannot see
and the silence is raging
silence is raging
silence is raging
(silence is raging)
silence
silence
fading to silence
silence
silence
fading to silence
memory
memory
silence’s the key to a memory
memory
silence’s the key to a memory
Canzone del momento XXXIX
“Sunset of Age” Anathema
Throne of grief
..in a dying essence
Crying beauty
..the fettered aura
Forgotten oceans of hope
..Betrayed aphony
Sullen laughter in unventured paradise
(as one) forever searching
For landscapes serene
Amidst the sunset of age
With joyous masquerade…
..the summers died
Canzone del Momento XXXVIII
“A Simple Mistake” Anathema
Think for yourself you know what you need in this life
see for yourself and feel your soul come alive tonight
here in moments we share, trembling between the worlds we stare
out at starlight enshrined, veiled like diamonds in..
…time could be the answer, take a chance, lose it all
it’s a simple mistake to make to create love and to fall
so rise and be your master you don’t need to be a slave
of memory ensnared in a web, in a cage
I’ve found my way to fly free from the constraints of time
I have soared through the sky seen life far below in mind
breathed in truth, love, serene, sailed on OCEANS OF BELIEF
searched and found life inside, we’re not just a moment in time…
….could be the answer…
Feel renewed inside
Feel the truth in life,see beyond sky,beyond our waking eyes,when the night is long,feel i don’t belong,when sky is grey you turn to me and say,
Love is all we are ,together or apart.
When the light of day ,turn me on my way,
Feel renewed inside,feel the truth in life,
See beyond…
Canzone del momento XXXVII
“Invitation” Artesia
Avant que la nuit comoe
Allons une derniere fois

Ces mots d’un aucre temps

Canzone del momento XXXVI
The Burner Is Mine… Alone “Green carnation”
I feel the blood under my skin
like so many times before
this journey got the best of me
and I am sorry I couldn’t wait anymore
The burden is mine… alone
I feel the blood under my skin
and I hate every part of me
how could I lose the only thing worth keeping
now I’m sorry I didn’t wait for you
The burden is mine… alone
Canzone del momento XXXV
“Angelic” Antimatter
Angel cried last night; it was something in her dreams,
Carving pictures on her bedroom wall, she wonders what it means,
But gets by inside by saying it’s not real,
There’s no reason to confuse myself no matter what it seems.
Angel lied last night to amputate her fears,
With no question she exhumes herself from possibilities.
Close your eyes it’s fine by saying it’s not real,
There’s no reason to forgive myself no matter what it seems.
And if I could grow some wings I’d fly away home…
Canzone del momento XXXIV
I remember when everything was yet to come
the story when unwritten, the roads where endless
Time was all I had
As days went by. I didn’t realize life was running dry right in front of me
It this all that is mean to be?
Right there from the start, my life got torn apart
Life’s too short , it seems, won’t fulfill my dreams
I wasn’t sure what I was waiting for
Trought it would be easy, that it would come to me
Time was all I had
Another day is coming to an end
Guiltiness will feed my choked up greed
It this all that is mean to be?
Right here from the start , my life got torn apart
Life’s too short , it seems, won’t fulfill my dreams
Is this all?
E vai col vintage…
Quasi 40 anni e non sentirli 
Spettacolo 
canzone del momento XXXIII
In time, in peace
And now is here
This life, this dream…
You know how it feels but… is it all in your mind?
When you know how it feels to be pushed and pulled through your life
And sometimes it seems like there is life in your eyes
And all that I know is I love you
Yes I love you
And it feels like we’re already flying
But the air is too thin and we’re dying
The clouds all around take us higher
The world far below is on fire
I hold out my hand just to touch you
And all that I know is I love you
A vision a promise of heaven
A reason for being forever
You’re just a whisper away
We’ve come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
This is who we are, one step closer
Into thin air we will go there
We’ve come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
I feel you breathe
You’re just a whisper away
We’ve come too far to turn back
This is where we stand and face it
This is who we are one step close
Into thin air we will go there
We’ve come too far…
This is where we stand…
Canzone del momento XXXII
I pull off the road
East of Baldock and Ashford
Feeling for my cell
In the light from the dashboard
Hissing from the road
The smell of rain in the air con
Maybe check the news
Or just put a tape on
Lighting up a smoke
I’ve got this feeling inside me
Don’t feel too good
If I close my eyes
And fell asleep in this layby
Would it all subside
The fever pushing the day by
Motor window wind
I could do with some fresh air
Can’t breathe too well
(She waits for me. Home waits for me.)
I guess I should go now
She’s waiting to make up
To tell me she’s sorry
And how much she missed me
I guess I’m just burnt out
I really should slow down
I’m perfectly fine but
I just need to lie down
We’ll grow old together
We’ll grow old together
We’ll grow old together…. Link

Vincent Cavanagh ha così spiegato l’origine del titolo:
"Il titolo ‘We’re Here Because We’re Here’ è ispirato da una canzone
nata nelle trincee alleate nel corso della Prima Guerra Mondiale.
Cantata sulle note di ‘Auld Lang Syne’, la canzone serviva da adunata e
per tenere su il morale di coloro che stavano affrontando
quell’incessante massacro e quell’indescrivibile orrore. Lo spirito
dietro quelle parole e le domande che facevano sorgere ci hanno
immediatamente colpito. Di conseguenza abbiamo deciso di fare nostre
quelle parole per riflettere quello spirito e il legame che lega tutti
i sei membri del gruppo. Abbiamo condiviso delle esperienze
incredibili, su tutti i livelli, e il fatto che ne siamo usciti più
forti, più determinati e più sicuri nella nostra visione d’insieme è un
testamento alla nostra resistenza, sia come individui che come
collettivo". Danny ha aggiunto: "Il legame è
più profondo della musica e si potrebbe dire che la direzione di
quest’ultima è il risultato della nostra connessione; una vera famiglia
nel vero senso della parola".
L’album, il primo della band a vedere la cantante Lee Douglas come membro effettivo della formazione, è stato mixato da Steven Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE), gode di arrangiamenti d’archi curati da Dave Stewart (STEWART/GASKIN, PORCUPINE TREE) ed è stato masterizzato da Jon Astley (THE WHO, LED ZEPPELIN). Il brano "Angels Walk Among Us" vede infine la partecipazione di Ville Valo degli HIM alle backing vocals.
Canzone del momento XXXI
The blinding white
So far behind I am
And running
Over idle ground
This evening
I kept my word
Did you
I’m turning around
Wait for your sound
Only so far
According to who
Departer
The journey of our lives
I’m (when) so slow (did)
Compared to you (you first stay)
Departer (I swear it’s the truth)
It’s the month of July
Brother
In your eyes I was the stronger
So how am I to cover you on
Without shadowing your path
This time
I watch from the sidelines
Your ghost in the limelight
Face your fears
And pierce the night
So close
If only you knew
Defender
The story of our lives
I’m so (why) rash (would I swear)
Compared to you
Surrender (You know it’s the truth)
It’s the pat of our lives
Canzone del momento XXX
Don’t mourn now
for your lost life
and what did you do to deserve it?
it was just a bitter gift
Pull yourself together
and with your last strength
make a final prayer
thank for the precious present…
death
The emptiness
consumed your weary soul
ate you from inside
like a parasite
But death came
-like a prince on his white horse-
and set you free with a last, sweet kiss
Don’t dwell now
like a ghost
around your dead body
flee into infinity
My God-forgotten love,
finally we’ll meet again
when our both souls
dissolve into infinity…
death awaits
No time to dwell in limbo…
shadows are here to get you
how they want to embrace you in their cold arms
and drawn you in the pool of tears
of those who suffered because of your sins
Follow the right path
which leads to the astral constellation
where your soul enters the gate
before the light dies away
Save yourself from them
the creatures without a shape
have followed you in your last trip
You are safe again
you entered the portal
their black arms couldn’t get you
Wait for me there
as you sit motionless
with you arms around your knees
you are free now
Faith Divides Us Death Unites Us
A un che.. di inquietante sto video…
Canzone del momento XXIX
I don’t know what I become
Floating softly
Flying up
Like there’s no more gravity
Body and mind
Different things
I don’t know what I become
But I feel so good this time
From far-off I hear your cry
Floating softly
Split in two
I’m flying high
Canzone del momento XXVIII
resist you never could you never will bare my soul for a moment of
delusion blame it on the past catching up to take the glory without
substance selling someone elses soul to take you further falling deeper
into false stealing heros you dont realise the shit youre in for once
its come around again so exercise your right to run your right to ruin
Breaking away from broken days of shame and illusion,
playing the game.
Validate a life of lies,
So high on manufactured pride.
Faking away, making waves to gain,
Reality astray, delusion paved the way.
While we made it to the other side,
You lost your pride and your alibis.
Canzone del momento XXVI
Suddenly the strangest feeling
Inside of me
I don’t know what it is
Turning into someone else
Do i need it
Still i don’t know what it is
Suddenly my only friend is
Loneliness
And all i’m wishing for is
Happiness
Searching for a part of me
My long lost friend
Where could she be?
Suddenly my world is turning
My life stands still
Calling my name
Suddenly my only friend is
Loneliness
And all that i am wishing for is
Happiness
Suddenly my only friend is
Loneliness
And all that i am wishing for is…
canzone del momento XXV
Seems like you never really knew me
seems like you never understood me
seems like you never really knew how to feel
but electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
there were times you really made me smile
and there were times you really made me cry
and there were times i never really knew how to feel
but electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
and the fear made you so unsure of me
what you needed was to be rid of me.
but electricity it drew you near to me
what you needed was to be rid of me
and the fear made you so unsure of me
what you needed was to be rid of me.
Ascoltala qui…
Canzone del momento XXIV
Dressed in white In painted smile
Summer breeze
Blow
You feel
You taste
The stars the Sun and space
So blind not to find
The sublime
Color of my world
In bitter green
She comes to me
From dark serene
Below
This pill
You taste
It scars upon your face
So many times we left behind
The sublime
Color of my world
My world
Turning in the void
Like a big bright nothing
Tumble like a stone
Follow anywhere the wind blows
Pail lights and
Short sighted
Black ties and
Bleeding lips and
Street signs and
L. A. Times and
One track minds
A sight into my world
My world
Circling the Sun
Like a great white vulture
Angels in vertigo
Falling through the indigo sky
Can you see that the world is faded
Can you see that the whole thing’s coming down
Does it taste like the clouds are seeded
Did you hear that the bombers are Heaven bound
In red so frail
Glow
Your tears erase
That smile upon your face
Hide
Can’t elide
The mortified
Color of my world
My world
Crumbling away
Like a cheap toy
Laying in the street
Getting kicked around
Breaking down
Breaking down
It’s breaking down
Breaking down
Black lists
And white lies and
Purple mountains
Silver skies
Hard times
Failing grips
War crimes and
Fleeting trips
Blue yellow red
10001
Blue yellow red
10001
War crimes
And fleeting trips
In sharp graphic
Replication
