It was all just a dream,
I never thought this would be reality.
Emptying these thoughts,
locked deep inside me.
For all things gone wrong,
to all things adored.
The endearment, fear and scorn,
Hidden within these songs.
Whether loved, whether hated,
Indifference or outdated.
Leaving a mark to hold on,
buried in history after I'm gone.
The world is an awful place I just wanted to make,
Something beautiful for you to take.

Mountain Nights
04:56
|
|||
|
The sun was high,
The air was warm,
Everything in perfect form,
We drove straight through the night's most vicious thunderstorms.
Blurring black,
Right out of sight,
Cutting through lines of white,
There was no one around,
You and I were summit bound.
The mountains had swallowed the night,
Covered the city's neon lights,
Under fires in starlight skies,
This is where we began our lives,
We were forged by the light of the moon,
in the sweltering heat in the month of June,
This is where we had found our way,
To forget all of our yesterdays.
Just letting the stereo play,
Orchestrating words I can't convey,
We prevailed that day,
Delighted we finally got away,
So far away from where we call our home,
And everyone we've ever known,
This is how it was meant to be,
Above the world just you and me.
The mountains had swallowed the night,
Covered the city's neon lights,
Under fires in starlight skies,
This is where we began our lives,
We were forged by the light of the moon,
in the sweltering heat in the month of June,
This is where we had found our way,
To forget all of our yesterdays.
I need to go back there and breath the mountain air,
I need to go back there and get lost in your stare,
We need to go back there my dear,
We need to go, so take my hand and let's get out here.
The mountains swallowed up the night.
Covering the city's neon lights.
Under fires in starlight skies.
This is where you and I begin our new lives.

You.
05:28
|

|
I built these walls up for so long,
I'd barely whisper through the cracks,
Empty promises,
I knew I'd always just take back.
Distanced myself through the years,
Avoiding the terror of,
The inevitable end of love,
That's destined for all of us.
Those thoughts have now been cast aside,
Since the day you had arrived,
I'd take a chance on heartbreak,
For your love is truly divine.
You.
Are all I ever need.
You are all i ever wanted.
In this world,
To be so far from you,
Is torture.
And a life,
without you,
Is a life,
That I don't want to exist in.
You are the light in all the darkness,
Of my brittle heart.
And that is how it came to be,
You were meant to be next to me,
Letting go of the past,
You are the first, you'll be my last.
Brought euphoria to me,
When I was drown in disparity,
Falling into your loving arms,
To hide from the world's harm.
I know that this much is true,
I can't see myself without you,
Side by side and hand in hand,
We'll make it to the promised land.
You.
Are all I ever need.
You are all i ever wanted.
In this world,
To be so far from you,
Is torture.
And a life,
without you,
Is a life,
That I don't want to exist in.
You are the light in all the darkness,
Of my brittle heart.

Shattered Romance
04:24
|

Let’s dance on the dreams of shattered romance,
And the falsities of what could be,
All alone who could ask for anything more?
Nothing new, we’ve been here all before.
Our existence seems so bland,
As time to slips right on through our hands,
Hope has turned into heartache,
Weighed ourselves down with all our mistakes.
Full of drabness in our days,
wandering lost with nowhere to stay,
A beating heart was always your home,
No matter where we will roam.
Your eyes can be read within a stare,
And the loneliness that we both share,
Even though we’ve lost everything,
Tonight let’s see what this will bring.
Let’s dance on the dreams of shattered romance,
And the falsities of what could be,
All alone who could ask for anything more?
Nothing new, we’ve been here all before.
We have ourselves to blame,
For emotions we can’t reclaim,
Dragged down by our own ghosts,
And the ones we claim to miss the most.
We’ve all broken a heart or two,
But who said we can’t start anew?
Victims of our own circumstance,
Tonight this could be our last chance.
Let’s dance on the dreams of shattered romance,
And the falsities of what could be,
All alone who could ask for anything more?
Nothing new, we’ve been here all before.
Let's Dance.

I just want to go home,
Leave this room they make me stay,
I'm going to get up,
And leave here one of these days.
When I close my eyes,
I drift away,
I see old friends, I see your face.
It's all a blur when I awake,
I'm still stuck in this wretched place.
I'm going to leave Darlington,
On that old silver train,
I'm going to leave Darlington,
While my memories still remain.
I've lost all of my apathy,
My heart beats irregularly,
I have to escape this tragedy,
Before I lose what's left of me.
As the sun starts to go down,
I shake in fear in my bed.
Nothing seems to make any sense,
What's going on inside my head.
I don't understand what you're saying,
I can't comprehend what you mean,
Everything is just a haze,
People say I'm different,
I feel so strange.
I'm going to leave Darlington,
On that old silver train,
I'm going to leave Darlington,
While my memories still remain.
I've lost all of my apathy,
My heart beats irregularly,
I have to escape this tragedy,
Before I lose what's left of me.

Don't cry little sister,
I see those tears in your eyes,
You can't wait on bad intentions,
Locked yourself up until he arrives.
You know as well as I do,
That kind of love is bad for you,
And you know as well as I do,
It's time to start anew.
Nothing is what it seems,
You've lost every chance,
To redeem yourself for past mistakes you've made,
Your self worth was thrown away.
It's hard to not be alone,
When that is all you have ever known,
Search for your happiness,
And you will see that you are truly blessed.
Don't cry little sister,
Everything will be alright,
You can start on a new path,
Nothing comes easy without a fight.
And you know as well as I do,
You are radiant and you are strong,
And you know as well as I do,
You are loved and you will always belong.
Nothing is what it seems,
You've lost every chance,
To redeem yourself for past mistakes you've made,
Your self worth was thrown away.
It's hard to not be alone,
When that is all you have ever known,
Search for your happiness,
And you will see that you are truly blessed.

Falling Rain
04:48

Let the rain fall,
Let it fall all day I don't care at all.
There's no shelter where you turn,
The stinging rain and tears make my eyes blur.
The rain could never cleanse us,
The storm could only wash away so much.
Relentless lashing waves of regret,
are still stuck in my head.
Let the rain fall,
Let lightning engulf me,
Here by the sea the thunder quakes,
Let this storm take whats left of me.
The waves lap the sands,
Passionate sound between sea and the Earth.
Let the waves come and cover me,
and bury all of my bones.
You can count on the stillness,
After the storm.
The clouds brake, the sun will shine,
And this rage will leave you behind.
Let the rain fall,
Let lightning engulf me,
Here by the sea the thunder quakes,
Let this storm take whats left of me.

Fleeting
04:36

I can't ignore this strife anymore,
This silence has shook me right to my core.
Gave every little bit for you to feel the worth,
To encourage you to be the greatest on this Earth.
Something you could never give in return,
Only stale emotions and weak-willed concern.
Yearning for years ago,
Hell bent on the hope,
Now you're nothing more than a person,
I've never seen before.
We were once thick as thieves,
I can't believe you'd turn your back on me.
Change is adored,
Static has come and gone,
This is where I shall move on.
Inseparable: the ties that bind,
Undying love now left behind.
The moon, the stars: all the love for you my friend,
I'd always follow you until the world's end.
Always questioning what had occurred,
Always together and now I'm unsure.
Yearning for years ago,
Hell bent on the hope,
Of companionship,
That you no longer show.
We were once thick as thieves,
I can't believe you'd turn your back on me.
Change is adored,
Static has come and gone,
This is where I shall move on.
What we could have conquered,
Nothing more than a fleeting dream,
I still can't believe,
You'd turn your back on me.

It was hope.
I hoped you'd never lose hope,
A passion and talent matched by none,
Divine like a setting sun.
Had abilities to shake the Earth,
Now diminishing your self worth,
I can't stand watching you crack,
Give up and turn your back.
It's happened all before,
To beautiful people I adore.
Slave away for menial pay,
throwing all their dreams away.
Tied to vices, digging early graves,
Came and went like a tidal wave.
With their backs to the wall,
Took the fall and they lost it all.
Like dust: we once were whole,
Like rust: weakened our bonds.
Time marches on.
Our artist dreams are gone.
You must break the mold,
Don't become too cold.
Back to a heart of gold,
Before your dreams were sold.
My dearest friend,
I'm hoping you transcend,
These darker days of doubt,
Remember, what we were once about.

Forever
04:38
|

|
Life is cold,
Existence is bleak.
Terrifying thoughts,
I dare not speak.
The yearning in your eyes,
Unraveled my darkest sides.
Drabness always subsides,
When your hands are in mine.
I made a promise to you,
I’d be there through and through.
So this wasted heart,
Will love you,
Forever.
Just an eternal pact,
One That,
I could not retract.
So this broken heart,
Will love you,
Forever.
Regret suffocates,
Pulls you down so low,
Bound to ties,
Severed years ago.
That hurt,
That hate,
That candle burns slow.
An apology unspoken,
I always wanted you to know.
I made a promise to you,
I’d be there through and through.
So this wasted heart,
Will love you,
Forever.
Just an eternal pact,
One That,
I could not retract.
So this broken heart,
Will love you,
Forever.
I can’t stay down here,
Wrapped up in all my fears.
I can’t stay down here,
I need you close my dear.
Awful thought's strangle hold,
Are getting old.
As comforting as self loathing can be,
It’s nothing like you next to me.
I made a promise to you,
I’d be there through and through.
So this wasted heart,
Will love you,
Forever.
Just an eternal pact,
One That,
I could not retract.
So this broken heart,
Will love you,
Forever.

Nichts - yes, just that as a reflection of my current circumstances & thinkings of a life itself. Album is great! After a long, long time, brought me back to Selofan. I alwayas liked that cold-wave/dark-wave sound.

*Alone you die* - this message is so powerful. Melancholic notes of this album is something what draws me to it. I am also happy to have the last no-80 copy of uniquely, romantically pink cassette. We are all longing for love and acceptance. And for me, that's the main message of this album. And the favourite song is a reminder that you should be only with the one you love trully, who loves you the same way.

You just can't miss them. Not only because of the atmosphere they create, but also because of the heart in their songs, sung through the several languages they can handle. It never ocurred to me that Greek language could do so well in this style of music.
