Zitat

Yeah, I got voices in my head again, tread carefully
And I don’t medicate, it helps me temporarily
I got problems, I got issues, yeah, apparently
Trauma that I’m burying
I think I need some therapy
I battle depression
I’m back with a message
I’m asking the question
That if you hate me
Why you actin obsessive?
I’m past the point of no return
Fuck being passive aggressive
I’ll brandish a weapon
Teach all you motherfuckers a lesson

I actually battle my demons and shadows
They swim in the deep and they creep in the shallows
I’m lost
I gotta admit that I’m living the life that I’ve always wanted But it comes at a cost
They’re lickin their chops
They're fixin to rip me apart
I’m swimming with sharks
I’m liftin the bar
I’m liftin it into the stars
I’m like a shot of adrenaline
Mixed with some Ritalin
You started a battle, but bitch, I'ma finish it
You think you can stop me, not even a lil bit
Nowadays, everybody’s so sensitive
Taking my words and you pick it a part
Trippin on nothin just get in the car
Grippin n rippin, I'm stickin the mark
I’m tippin the charts

'Cause I got enemies trying to get rid of me
Evil tendencies are fucking with me mentally
I got people that don’t like me in the industry I can feel your energy, you are not a friend to me

'Cause I have been to places that you never wanna go
I got dirt on people, but they act like I don’t know
I could do some damage, but I’ll never rock the boat All it takes is one post, watch 'em fall like dominoes

You’ll never get rid of me
Too many mini me’s
Rippin my imagery
You know my history
It ain’t a mystery
I put every enemy outta they misery
Somebody send me some positive energy
About to go Darth, about to go Disney
Into the darkness, into infinity
And shut you motherfuckers up
You listening?

Stackin every little pretty penny that I’m getting
And I’m never giving In to anybody, always winning
Never kidding, when I die
I’m takin everybody with me
You’re never gonna get me 'Cause you’ll never see it simply
I’m a motherfucking god
You’re a light yawn
I’m a time bomb
And the vibes wrong
Is this mic on?

I’m killin the syllables
With a loaded refillable
I’m a lyrical typical supervillain
I’m venomous
And I’m never gonna stop until
They put me on top of the list

I can’t control the monster any longer that’s inside

The pain and sorrow
Left us hollow
No tomorrows
Hard to swallow
Death is calling
So appalling
Tightrope walking
Now I’m falling down
Like missiles falling from the sky
Come and save us
The pain and sorrow Left us hollow
Here today but gone tomorrow

The pain inside is the fuel that drives
This flesh and bone through
Blood red skies (hahaha)
The death defying
Hypnotizing
One day you’re gonna figure out
That everything they taught you was a LIE
Watch The World Burn

The fear is what keeps you alive
Break the fucking chains, take back your life
The fear is what keeps you insane
Break the fucking chains
Take away the pain

Zitat

Watch your step, take care of you
A deep silence is all around you
Hovering around the moon
A feeling you had not at home
No machination and no lies
Bounded air is your warranty for Life
Just make your way to perfection

So close your eyes, open your heart, just open your heart
So close your eyes, open your heart, just open your heart

Thinking of your family
Your friends your love and tragedies
Reminding yourself of what you've done
The universe is an endless run
No borders and no up and down
Air is leaving so fast for now
Just make your way to perfection

So close your eyes, open your heart, just open your heart
So close your eyes, open your heart, just open your heart

Now it's over, time to go....
The air is leaving......
Find your way home right now.......
Find your way home right now.......

So close your eyes, open your heart, just open your heart
So close your eyes, open your heart, just open your heart

It´s a long way through
Failing is a process we all hide inside

Beat him up, beat him up
Don´t stop, don´t stop

Trying to survive
Waking up misery
The pain keeps alive

Now you´re standing there alone
Your thoughts are broken, hope is gone
You´re falling to your knees
Waiting for my hands
Every beginning has an end

Beat him up, .......
Don´t stop, .....

Every beginning has an end .........
The hero falls, falls to the ground .........

If you believe, ......... believe!
You will find a way out of this!

You´re not standing there alone
Your thoughts are broken, hope´s not gone
We´re falling to our knees, praying for your land
Every beginning has an end

See the light! - Light above your city
Feel it flow! - Right into your heart
Fill your soul! - With our love

Can you see the devil dance in disguise? - Frozen inside
Don´t you fear the reaper tonight? - Watch the clock

Time has come!

Fade away!

These Memories.....

You've built this wall it's made of lies
It shall protect your heart, your heart of stone
A heart you never had, you never had
I won't trust you anymore, you won't hurt me anymore

Protect your heart, your heart of stone
We've reached the end, we've reached the end
Protect your heart, your heart of stone
We've reached the end, we've reached the end

It's over now
I can't believe you really did this to me, did this to me
Guess what went wrong
Can you explain to yourself and to me, how it got that far

I'll tear it down with love and hope
My weapons to expose, expose the truth
These memories in my head won't seem to leave
Remembering all the times we shared our love

You've built this wall it's made of lies it shall protect yourself
Your heart of stone you never had, you never had
I tear it down with love and hope I never wanted this
My weapons to expose the truth, expose the truth

I scream out of my heart, to myself, we fell apart
I scream out of my heart, to myself, we fell apart

Protect your heart, your heart of stone
We've reached the end, we've reached the end
Protect your heart, your heart of stone
We've reached the end, we've reached the end

It's over now
I can't believe you really did this to me, did this to me
Guess what went wrong
Can you explain to yourself and to me, how it got that far

It's over now
I can't believe you really did this to me, did this to me
Guess what went wrong
Can you explain to yourself and to me, how it got that far

You've built this wall it's made of lies it shall protect yourself
Your heart of stone you never had, you never had
I tear it down with love and hope I never wanted this
My weapons to expose the truth, expose the truth

We´re taking our train home to the sky

And I´m loosing control of everything

I know you´re there

I know you breathe

I know you cry, and so do I

Will I taste your lips again?

Can I hold you close?

You will miss me when I´m gone

I feel so alone, I´m on my own...

Give me one last hug

Will I taste your lips again? No never...

Like a thousand needles in my heart

Can I hold you close tonight? Only in my dreams

Where are you now?

And now I´m tripping over the broken moments that we´ve shared

Every morning when I wake up, you´re not there

Now the day has come, to say goodbye, say goodbye to you

My worst dreams have come true.....

I still remember your last words: Is one last hug ok?

Five last words, one for each year

I hope you listen to me now, ´cause these are my final words to you

This is my time now!

Will I taste your lips again? No never...

Like a thousand needles in my heart

Can I hold you close tonight? Only in my dreams

Where are you now?

Will I taste your lips again? No never...

I feel so alone, I´m on my own...

I still remember your last Words: Is one last hug ok?

Five last words, one for each year

I hope you listen to me now, ´cause these are my final words to you

This is my time now!

It´s like a nightmare, you can´t wake up

It´s like a bullet you just can´t stop

All the frames in my eyes

I can´t sleep tonight

It´s beating me down

She comes and takes the pain away

She takes the pain away, takes the pain away.....

She comes and takes the pain away

All the words that she said

Break a hole in my head, and it´s burning out my thoughts

Again, what would you say

When she´s burning out your thoughts

It is senseless to make her clear

It is senseless to make her clear.......

No excuses, no more pain like before

No more pain like before........

She comes and takes the pain away

She takes the pain away, takes the pain away.....

She comes and takes the pain away

All the words that she said

Break a hole in my head, and it´s burning out my thoughts

Again, what would you say

When she´s burning out your thoughts

I walk right through, the darkest streets

And I stuck in this Moment

Again and again, I feel so weak,

Will I pretend this

I leave it to myself --- to myself

Seems like I´m better off without you --- again and again

It seems like everyone is gone --- everyone is gone

To a place, that I call home

I leave it to myself

Seems like everyone is gone

I do this just one more time

I´m crying tears tonight

Once again, by all means

I´m crying tears tonight

I fight against the grey

There´s nothing left to say

For me, for you and everyone

I´ve been waiting for so long!

I do this just one more time

I´m crying tears tonight

Once again, by all means

I´m crying tears tonight

I do this just one more time

I´m crying tears tonight

Once again, by all means

I´m crying tears tonight

I leave it to myself --- to myself

Seems like I´m better off without you --- again and again

It seems like everyone is gone --- everyone is gone

To a place, that I call home

Burning stones, fall from the sky, anything out of sight, out of sight

The point of no coming back has just arrived, how could we, we survive

The night I looked at you I found a dream

I could speak to – a dream I called

I found a thrill, to start my cheeks

A thrill, I´ve never known

Just hold my hand

Please help me out

The end is not far away....

So use all the seconds you´ll have for better days, this is our hope

We said enough, we keep on moving on our way

Burning stones, fall from the sky, anything out of sight, out of sight

The point of no coming back has just arrived, how could we, we survive

These beating voices have made my cry

I think it´s time, I´m falling

It´s just the same old way

Over and over again

Everything is burning the pain is leaving my eyes

this is what I say

Can´t sleep tonight, I need to get to get stronger inside

This is what I say, what I say, this is what I say what I scream!

I see the bodies of yesterday

Situations happen that I can´t explain, to myself

I see it all crushing down on me

It´s time to move...

Pictures run through my eyes

I thought I knew it all

Waves move straight through the light

I´ll never let this fall

This is what you wanted, this i what you want

I can´t go back

This is what you wanted, this i what you want

I can´t go back

It´s time to move, we´re so confused

That all went down under the surface

And every step we need to take is slipping away

It´s time to move...

Pictures run through my eyes

I thought I knew it all

Waves move straight through the light

I´ll never let this fall

This is what you wanted, this i what you want

I can´t go back

This is what you wanted, this i what you want

I can´t go back

Pictures run through my eyes

I thought I knew it all

Waves move straight through the light

I´ll never let this fall

This is what you wanted, this i what you want

I can´t go back

This is what you wanted, this i what you want

I can´t go back

I can´t go back,... I can´t go back,... I can´t go back,... I can´t go back...

Father, what have you done...

You let me down...

This time we raise our hands...

To the sky, I felt so weak

Don´t break my heart

Trust yourself, you can´t devine

That our souls will be saved

Watch your eyes, they fade to grey

Please hold my hands, these broken wings, tonight

Father, what have you done...

You let me down...

This time we raise our hands...

To the....

And though my eyes try to ignore, all the pain inside that war

And though my eyes try to ignore, all the pain inside that war

Trust yourself, you can´t devine

That our souls will be saved

Watch your eyes, they fade to grey

Please hold my hands, these broken wings, tonight

Gerade erst entdeckt, dass es 2009 wohl noch einen weiteren Song der Band gab, der tendenziell eher zur EP von 2008 passt..

2009 erschien ihr Album "At Least It's Not Light"

1 This Rush Over The Cliff 3:59

2 Ticking Boxes 4:10

3 Weight Of An Echo 4:52

4 Weaving Spiders Come Not Here 6:07

5 The Albatross 4:38

6 Cavelings 4:29

7 The Man With No Tongue 4:28

8 Hooves For Hands 2:27

9 Raiders (Of The Catlegian Dynasty) 3:45

10 A Lighthouse Is More Useful Than A Church 3:34

11 Why The Wales Came... 4:37

Dieses Album habe ich selbst bislang quasi gar nicht gehört, daher folgt ein Edit erst wenn ich mich damit nochmal beschäftigt habe.

Dividing The Line waren eine Post-Hardcore (Trancecore) Band aus Worcester, Worcestershire in England.

Entdeckt hatte ich die Band damals zu Myspace-Zeiten mit ihrem Song "Hear My Words" welches nur auf einer Demo (2006) zusammen mit dem Song "Your Life Is Mine" enthalten war.

Anschließend veröffentlichte die Band 2008 ihre EP "Foundations"

Tracklist:

1 When The Curtains Drop

2 Let's Just Walk Away

3 Get Something Better To Do

4 Convulsing From White Noises

5 Thrive Time

Zitat

I’m sick of staring at these four walls

The conversations wearing thinner

I’ve heard the same old story roll off your tongue

And now its time for me to clear out my fucking head

Why are you still screaming?

Screaming the same old shit

I have become deaf from what you say to me

My mind left me along time ago, that ship set sail

Set sail!

The ocean’s dragged me too far to swim back

And I can’t even swim I can’t even swim

Will you let me drown or will you come to give me breathe

Well I take it back I take it back I love this place

The only place that feels like home is when I’m moving

So sick of hearing all your white lies

So bored now that the colour’s faded

I’ve herd the same old story roll off your tongue

And now its time for me to clear out my fucking head

The ocean’s dragged me too far to swim back

And I can’t even swim I can’t even swim

Will you let me drown or will you come to give me breathe

Well I take it back I take it back I love this plac

Zitat

They say dead men they tell no tales but why i am still talking

To many times you've cried for merci

To many times you've shown remorse

You have spent far to long behind those eyes

Those eyes

On this night i the angel of death will take flight and carry you away

For the end of my life meets the end of your life

And justice will be served

Will be served

Im tired of making all this small talk

So savor your last breathe and close your eyes

So close your eyes and repent your sins

Say hello to god and cry goodnight

Cry goodnight

Will be what i say you tonight

Will be what i shout at the top of my lungs tonight!

Im tired of making all this small talk

So savor your last breathe and close your eyes

So close your eyes and repent your sins

Say hello to god and cry goodnigh

Zitat

I’m not leaving here with nothing

Because I know that I’ve got so much left to give

Were not losing we’re not failing

This time I’ll fall on my feet

As we stand in front of you, we won’t hide away

Yeah we will find a way to show the world

I need to start again and make up for the lost time

I see focus through my eyes and I see clear for the first time

I’m holding out my hands in hope of grasping what is mine

One more shot at victory and I’ll leave it all behind

As we stand at the top of this mountain

One false step and we will fall

One false step and we will fall, false steps and we will fall

Reach For The Sun (2009)

1 Where I Want To Be

2 Settle Down

3 Weathered

4 Symmetry

5 Surfaced

6 A Space To Grow

7 Reach For The Sun

8 The Permanent Rain [bekanntester Song der Band]

9 Northern Lights

10 This Is War

11 Never Feel Alone

Ein Album das viel von persönlichem Wachstum, Streben erzählt, auf klanglich positivste Weise. Ein lyrisches Ich, das sich ein enormen hohen Selbstwert und ebenso hohe Selbstkritik zuschreibt bzw. äußert. - Wenn man fragen würde, was Emo wäre, wäre das Album im Prinzip eine sehr gute Antwort. - Oft sind es einzelne überragende Zeilen, um die man sich selbst und den Song erschließt.

Zitat

In the back of my mind,

Well I fought my god

'cause all of the hell that's in my time.

But I can still see the birds

And where they went this year.

Our winter made things hazy

And I know that I was losing site of my hometown,

And in my blacking out

I think I let you down.

Don't let them try to save me

'cause I'm already crazy.

And there is something in your face

That pulls me far enough away.

I guess that I always knew that I'd find you when I thought

That I'd be letting out my darkest now,

And in my climbing out I think I let you live.

I wish you'd try to save me,

Your silence makes me crazy.

It takes a lot to say that something is fate,

I kind of know where you're headed.

Am I too up front, or am I just on time?

Well where is your head at?

I reached my point, I let them down.

I slept in the worst part of this town.

You are my song, and you are where I want to be.

I want to take those steps I never have.

I need to stand up straight so I can feel your breath.

I really think for once that I can change;

It's really not that bad.

I'm learning now that I was wrong in everything

And there's a reason why I think that I can grow;

It's really not that bad.

It's in the way you had, it's in the way you had

Me all wrapped up like I'm a part of something finally,

And I'm never looking back.

Zitat

I gave my things away

I called the people that I only see on holidays

This next year's gonna burn a hole in me

I spent my weekdays in my car

And the weekends drinking hard enough for two

I think I'll settle down one of these days

'Til I catch my breath

I feel the weight of the world on my back

But I'm not feeling sick to death

'Cause I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

I learned a lot today

'Cause there's a reason why

I'll never live the easy way

I'm trying to be real

I wrote down words inside my arm

That say "I'll never walk alone," 'cause I get tired

I know I'll have my friends in every way

So I caught my breath

And for the first time I found what I'm looking for

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

Yeah, I went down

Yeah, I found a way

In the city where my father was born, I had a dream I moved out west

I finally found out what I wanted to be, so I picked up where I left

And I waited two more years and covered up my ears

I think I'm ready to sing this time

(I think I'm ready to sing)

I think I'm ready to sing this time

I really think I'm gone

[Chorus]

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

I laid awake in bed and thought of better times

I never want to sleep 'cause I found apathy

In laying down and never waking up

Never waking up

Zitat

I felt unable, I was lying on my side

In the same clothes from the very last night

I wanna pray that I'm doing everything right

I saw my mom die for the very first time

She was an angel, God took her from the sky

And there's a million other people that I found

Who cared more than I ever will

I held that note out

I grabbed my bag, and I left through the door

I let my hair grow

Put these words on my skin, I cannot relate

Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you? [<3]

I can't find the strength in my voice

To call you back and say that everything is bad without you

And I'm lost again, oh god believe I'm lost again

I stayed in bed, and

We took so much that I couldn't even sleep

I waited so long

Though that wasn't even that bad

I never had to be a part of

The world, and I've been making that a goal for reasons that I cannot explain

Well I'm an optimist, but only in a perfect world [<3]

I think I'm too stained with all the negativity

From all the people in my way

Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?

I can't find the strength in my voice

To call you back and say that everything is bad without you

And I am lost again, oh God believe I'm lost again

Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?

I can't find the strength in my voice

To call you back and say that everything is bad without you

And I am lost again, oh God believe I'm lost again

I took a trip down south and felt the sun on my face, and it

Made things okay for a second

I drew a picture of my problems when I was going insane

And I focused on the currents

It's the funny thing about it, I

Never seem to worry that every single current's not the same

It's all about position, and where I choose to lay

And God, I am going away

Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?

I can't find the strength in my voice

To call you back and say that everything is bad without you

And I am lost again, oh God, believe I'm lost again

Would you believe in my songs if I gave them all to you?

I can't find the strength in my voice

To call you back and say that everything is bad without you

I stayed awake just long enough to see you

Remember Winnipeg?

And feeling simpler back then?

I took a week off from my band and flew out

It was a Saturday

I saw you waiting by the plane

I was always in a way just a long shot

I was never in the clear of that

I am lucky just to be a potential

But I will always make a mess of that

Of that

Of that

I traded symmetry for everything I loved

I took my feelings out, and I had told you I was done

I know your mistakes, does it bother you that I found where they stay?

Can I reach you yet?

I stood up so fast, and I let you down

It was the first time that I heard, I heard that sound

It filled my head with the darkest shade of black

And I met you there

I realized then that I was just a little sad

And I left you there

I was always in a way just a long shot

I was never in the clear of that

I am lucky just to be a potential

But I will always make a mess of that

(I know your mistakes)

I was always in a way just a long shot

(Does it bother you that)

I was never in the clear of that

(I found where they stay)

I am lucky just to be a potential

(Can I reach you yet?)

But I will always make a mess of that

(I stood up so fast)

I was always in a way just a long shot

(And I let you down)

I was never in the clear of that

(It was the first time that I heard)

I am lucky just to be a potential

(I heard that sound)

But I will always make a mess of that

-> If you describe something as a long shot, you mean that it is unlikely to succeed, but is worth trying.

Zitat

I set my words on the ground and I was grinding my teeth

I planted pieces of light to see if planets could speak

It took my mind by surprise when I was finally free

Through all my darkest days

I felt my heartbeat again, and dropped to my knees

There was a sun in my eyes that made a star out of me

It's like my life was a list and my head was first

To get crossed off

And it's the pleasure that I keep to sit down with my friends

And talk about my day

Can you hear me?

Well I don't even care

I'll stop my screaming

If you look the other way

It's been a bad year

So let me sleep in one more day

I really found the simple things live closest to your home

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet

But you can count on me to stay forever

And that's the truth, we'll stay just fine

I'm coming back, and just on time

To be myself again, the way that made me real

So tell me, have you surfaced yet?

This is how it felt when I was growing up

And being part of no one, but you found yourself

That says a lot to me these days

I'm sorry for the way I used to be

I was just a kid

Just a kid

Can you hear me?

Well I don't even care

I'll stop my screaming

If you look the other way

It's been a bad year

So let me sleep in one more day

I really found the simple things live closest to your home

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet

But you can count on me to stay forever

Yeah, let me sleep it off

"Try not to be hard on yourself"

Was all I ever heard from her

I finally think I understand what she was saying to me

Because nothing's worth the pain in your back, believe in that

The world can take control but don't ever lose your heart

Because I know you better than that

Because I know you better than that

Can you hear me?

Well I don't even care

I'll stop my screaming

If you look the other way

It's been a bad year

So let me sleep in one more day

I really found the simple things live closest to your home

I'm not alone because I live inside a world that is my own

I haven't found what I've been looking for yet

But you can count on me to stay forever

Six long hours in my head, I watched people in cars

It made me feel like I'm living, I guess it's never that hard

Let's live outside of the city and blame the ones that I loved

For all the shit that I carried when I was never enough

I found a cut somewhere where we could all lay

The world was waking up, and I'm learning now

That my heart isn't breaking down

It's my world, so just pray with me, pray with me, pray with me

'Cause I'm spent

Yeah, I spent them all, those long confusing hours

With my mind turned on, the world was getting louder

I found myself on edge, my feet were over water

Just a song in my head that reminded me I'll never be alone

I found a cut somewhere where we could all lay

It's frank and it's fucked, but I'm learning now

That my heart isn't breaking down

It's my world, so I'll

Take another look at my life and give everything I own

To all the people in my heart

I am free, I am freezing

I am wrong

I am so obscure, it's terrible

And I'm loved

But in between the cars, they bother me

I helped make the art that hangs on your walls

And plays in your heart, it stays in your arms

You're not a machine, I'm sure of that

You're every bit like me, you gave up on your dreams

And now you're stuck with that, you settled for the pencil days

I'm a paintbrush in a way

I'm simple, yeah, I'm plain

I'm colored all the same

I have meaning if you find it in yourself

I'll sell myself or not

Like I

Really give a fuck, I'm just an artist on a shelf

And I'm learning now

That my heart isn't breaking down

It's my world, so I'll

Take another look at my life and give everything I own

To all the people in my heart

I am free, I am free

Zitat

I wrote a song about war, the kind that lives in your head

I found a place I can sit, a place where everyday light hits

Like the palm of your hand when you're reaching for something that's

Balled up in the sky

That's the way I like to see myself, reaching for just one star at a time [that's emo]

I heard what was a song inside the earth

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word

See, I got lost in the sound

It was the moment I felt sick

Just when I needed it most

There is not much to explain

Except I found myself blinded by every bit of light

I felt so safe inside the sight of the sun

I really think I'm home now, I really think that

I heard what was a song inside the earth

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it

It hit so hard, and it took my spirit

Know that I belong to you until I die

I remember giving this a try

I screamed so loud 'cause that's exactly how I felt

It broke me out, and I gave up all my plans

I set them down, 'cause I really need to see the sun again

Don't worry, 'cause I'll be fine

I heard what was a song inside the earth

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it

It hit so hard, and it took my spirit

Know that I belong to you until I die

I heard what was a song inside the earth

I put my ear to the ground and I sang with every word

I felt a wave so strong, I fell right in it

It hit so hard, and it took my spirit

Know that I belong to you until I die

So why the sudden change, and what's this all about?

I know they speak your name, but where's the sound right now?

I can't stop praying you'll hear me play

I know that I'll be with you there someday

So where the hell's my hope, and why can't I just try?

You know I've lost a lot, but I won't let this die

You know I've got this friend up in the atmosphere

Another reason not to fear the sky

No, not tonight

Can I pull out all the stops and get out of this town?

I want to make you proud, but I really don't know how

I know it's not helping to hear me say, "I wish it was me in the car that day."

Though something made me stop and think of what you said

You know it meant a lot, but I was just a kid

One with all these dreams of growing up and playing

Music on the road, I've been screaming all these years and thinking of you both

So where the hell's my hope, and why can't I just try?

You know I've lost a lot, but I won't let this die

You know I've got this friend up in the atmosphere

Another reason not to fear the sky

No, not tonight

See, I wrote this note 'cause I never even told you

You know I've got some things to sing about like we were young

And holding true to all these songs

That always made us pull through

And now I've got some words that I'll write down

And I'm sending this shit out

So where the hell's my hope, and why can't I just try?

You know I've lost a lot, but I won't let this die

You know I've got this friend up in the atmosphere

Another reason not to fear the sky

No, not tonight

No, not tonight

So where's my hope, and why can't I just try?

You know I've lost a lot, but I won't let this die

It's 2:00 and I was sleeping, but I'm not feeling great

I took some pills to help my thinking

But now I'm thinking worse

Well I was hoping that I could see you if that's not too absurd

Am I in love or am I dreaming?

'Cause I'm not sensibly

Just taken by your words

For once I found the cure

I'm sick of staying up late

'Cause you're not here

And I'm not there

No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me

I'm not afraid to watch you change me

You need to know what you're into

I'll tell you I'm a goddamn piece of work

So I'll just sit here until you enter my arms

'Cause that's the simpleness

Of where I lay my head, I'm a wreck when I'm alone

I'm the boy who lost his home and I'm sensibly just

Taken by your words

For once I've found the cure

I'm sick of staying up late

'Cause you're not here

And I'm not there

No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me

I'm not afraid to watch you change me

I took the Key Bridge north to your parents' house again

I saw my share of lights from the sky outside the city

I brought you things I loved just to show you that I care

I found a place to lay inside of the warmth

And that's the way that I've spent

These last few days of writing all these songs

I swear to God that I love you

'Cause I can't explain this

I'm sensibly just

Taken by your words

For once I've found the cure

I'm sick of staying up late

'Cause you're not here

And I'm not there

No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me

I'm not afraid to watch you change me

Anymore

I'm taken by your words

For once I've found the cure

I'm sick of staying up late

'Cause you're not here

And I'm not there

No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me

I'm not afraid to watch you change me

The Dangerous Summer begleiten mich schon seit vielen vielen Jahren mit ihren jetzt inzwischen mehr als sechs Alben. - Eine dieser wenigen überragenden Bands (mit enormen Höhen und (auch) Tiefen) von "damals", die es nach einer langjährigen Pause mit ihrem Reunion-Album geschafft haben mich zu begeistern und auch auf dem zuletzt erschienen Album "Coming Home" (2022) einige richtige gute Songs haben, die "The Dangerous Summer" gerecht werden.

Die Diskographie aufzuarbeiten (ab morgen) wird einige Zeit dauern. Eine richtige Reihenfolge gibt es eigentlich nicht, da The Dangerous Summer ganz spezifisch entsprechende Stimmungslagen ~trifft, anspricht und musikalisch/lyrisch komplementiert. Vom euphorisch idealistisch aufstrebenden Gefühl (metaphorischen) Frühling, Sommer..) bis hin zum Schwermut (metaphorischen) Herbst) und allem dazwischen. Um ansatzweise eine Struktur zu verfolgen starte ich chronologisch mit dem ersten Album, auch wenn der Zugang im Winter schwerer fällt..

Never Before Seen, Never Again Found (28.10.2022)

Tracklist:

1. Overture 02:40

2. Object Permanence 03:49

3. Aries (Moth Song) 03:09

4. Tough Love 03:17

5. Formative Age 03:52

6. Muscle Memory 03:25

7. Playing Mercy 03:10

8. Everything As I Knew It 02:44

9. In Loving Memory 03:43

10. Family And Friends 02:57

11. Dirge 05:19

Das ganze Album ist gut und eines der wenigen Highlights 2022 (für mich), auch wenn der ein oder andere Song mehr raussticht.

Eine größere Auseinandersetzung mit dem Album fehlt noch (ist um einiges kryptischer von den Lyrics als die EPs zuvor), weswegen ich mich mit Songempfehlungen zurück halte.

Dissociation Vacation (02.12.2022)

Tracklist:

1 Secondhand Lions

2 Que Sera

3 Kind Regards

4 This Town Needs Guns

5 Kingdom Come

6 Hollywood

7 Into The Wild

Zitat

Speak to me, preacher, a damn shame to meet you

The whole world's gone mad, what the hell did they teach you?

We've drunk all the rivers and sinned like the plagues

Still creeping ever closer to our end of days

And I still recall the day I lost my faith

When I hung up that cross on the mirror's frame

I think I'll kill another man, and burn all the bridges that I can

And I hope I never see that fucking thing again

We tore down Verona to write it again

Poisoned the horses and all the king's men

It's box office bullshit, it's Hollywood, friend

And we'll never be in fucking showbiz again

They said Jack was nimble, and Jack was quick

He snuffed the wick out, he's a giant prick

So tell me more about 'mysterious ways'

And mass graves and war crimes on hot summer days

We tore down Verona to write it again

Poisoned the horses and all the king's men

It's box office bullshit, it's Hollywood, friend

And we'll never be in fucking showbiz again

If there's good in this down, man, I ain't seen it yet

The two-dollar beers are as good as it gets

So sin with me, preacher, over cigarettes

And maybe we'll talk of this 'church' thing again

Let's make a mockery of how youth die

Let's write a smash hit the kids can buy

Frame a suicide note, hang it on your wall

Then proceed to live to age 94

You've got your golden ticket, but you can't play nice

You've got your pigeon holes right on the dotted line

Man, I can fake it too, just show me where to sign

You better stick to binary, that's the life

Got to slice the cancer with minimum fuss

Before the scalpel decides to rust

While Salem's cisterns turn to dust

And we'll burn the rest of it if we must

Do you remember the last days of Rome?

Did it feel a little bit like a broken home?

We're going to drag the church through the dirt

Hope it doesn't hurt, and make history alone

Yeah, we'll make history on our own

So I drove a thousand miles down a yellow-brick road

Trying to find a good price for my spine and my soul

And Alice always told me that, "That's the price of fame,'

Better wash the red pill down the rabbit hole again

We tore down Verona to write it again

Poisoned the horses and all the king's men

It's box office bullshit, it's Hollywood, friend

And we'll never be in fucking showbiz again

If there's good in this town, man, I ain't seen it yet

The two-dollar beers are as good as it gets

So sin with me, preacher, over cigarettes

And maybe we'll talk of this 'church' thing again

Maybe we'll talk of this 'church' thing again

Maybe we'll talk of this 'church' thing again

Zitat

Lay your head down, sing me to sleep as I come undone

I fell out of love with myself

I’ve got a bad heart, in more ways than one

Gotta tell you, the last few days, weeks, months and years have been kind of rough

Drink in the dark for a while, so I go out with a smile and I guess that’ll be enough

I’m sorry that I couldn’t make the pieces fit

I’m so far adrift

In an ocean you don’t even know exists

This is more than a rainy day, this is a hurricane

We are one

Empires pulled apart by stones

We are one

But we were never Rome

Sit alone at home pick apart my thoughts remind myself, even the best things run their course

Sitting, drinking, trying to bring myself back from the brink

But I’m a lost cause, and I’m starting to sink

So I pick myself up, write myself off

I’m shooting for death, but clearly not doing enough

I’m not doing enough

Fell by the wayside, getting high more than ever now

And I never found the strength, to put the bottle down, my fire's burnt out

My old lover, my old friend

I’ve been thinking about dying again

My hands have got the shakes as I put pen to paper in your name for the last time

Let myself down time, after time

Tell myself lie after lie

And the sun shines lightly through the window pane

I think this could be the morning of my final day

And I need you to do this final thing for me

There’s still gold in my heart, so bury me deep

My old lover, my old friend

I’ve been thinking about dying again

My old lover, my old friend

Everyone of you means everything

And the sun shines lightly through the window pane

I think this could be the morning of my final day

And I need you to do this final thing for me

There’s still gold in my heart, so bury me deep

Some of us live our lives in truly screwed up minds

Doing anything we can just to get by

While others just wish they were

Searching for clouds in a blue sky

So stop kidding yourself, you’re doing just fine

So share your goddamn sunshine

You’ve gotta realise we’re on borrowed time

Can you honestly say ‘yeah at least I tried’?

We saw the warning signs

But never really realised

Tell me where you stand, an addict or a good man?

We saw the warning signs

This time it wasn’t your lies

Anyway you spin it, you’ll end up alone

The whole world’s a stage for your suffering

Are you happy with the company that you keep?

You spent your whole life searching for sympathy

While others keep searching for the missing piece

So stop kidding yourself, you’re doing just fine

So share your goddamn sunshine

We saw the warning signs

But never really realised

Tell me where you stand, an addict or a good man?

We saw the warning signs

This time it wasn’t your lies

Anyway you spin it, you’ll end up alone

This is a reminder that you’ll always be

Stuck in your own made up tragedy

Zitat

It comes, it stays wave after wave

I guess you'd call it a tirade

Rolls in and breaks like pins and needles, and I’m a slave

To a rising waterline headspace

I am numb but in disgrace

So I shake and sweat and puke this out

All over my bed frame

Breaking pills in half to avoid the tolerance next time I go down this path

White knuckles clenching tightly to the aftermath

‘Put down the bottle’ they say

Or it’s an early grave

‘Let yourself heal, this’ll go away’

But I swear my darkness lies in wait

Kill the lights, crawl inside myself again

Kill the lights because I can see the end

Kill the lights, I’m beside myself again

Kill the lights, you wanna die tonight my friend?

They said we’re surely set to fade

Like wilting flowers on a grave

So how the fuck can I save this?

I can barely save myself

Can’t seem to save myself

Never cease to pull me under

My own mind tears me asunder

Slip back to the depths within as the pills kick in and I drown in it

Check 1, 2 OK still sane

Can you feel it running through your veins?

With that same old endless rain and the goddamn migraines and stomach pains

And I can feel it coming over me

I can tell you a few things about half empty

They said we’re surely set to fade

Like wilting flowers on a grave

So how the fuck can I save this?

I can barely save myself

I’ve got a comfort wine

Do drugs from time to time

I told you I felt fine

You said I’d lost my shine

Kill the lights, you wanna die tonight?

Kill the lights, I’m beside myself again

Kill the lights, you wanna die tonight my friend?

Can’t seem to save mysel

Zitat

We’re waking up to the age of children living in pain

Born chasing storms, just lonely souls

We’re always chasing new plagues

Why do you feel so hollow?

Why do you live in sorrow?

Sit alone at home looking at your phone, listen to the tone as your mind free roams

Soak up the sound as you drown in it

Loneliness found you again

Sinking feeling, mind never clearing

Every wonder does life have meaning?

Everything you love will fade away

And there’s nothing you can do to make it stay

The awful part of you will watch this happen

With a smile on it’s face

Do you ever wonder

Why your heart forever wanders?

We love in different ways and often do not tessellate

Different hearts in different shapes

Not knowing names it’s all the same

We slowly lose ourselves through age, lack and decay

Just so you know, one day it’ll be too late to change

I’m just pieces of every single thing I feel and every word I say

I’ve come to see that memories are the only things that never age

Everything you love will fade away

And there’s nothing you can do to make it stay

The awful part of you will watch this happen

With a smile on it’s face

Don’t spend your life casting stones or digging for diamonds in their bones

Love or lust, every heart is a home

I wanna see every sight

You are your world as I am mine

Maybe one day we’ll coincide

So I can see the stars in your eyes

I’m just pieces of every single thing I feel and every word I say

I’ve come to see that memories are the only things that never age

My old lover, my old friend

I’ve been thinking of dying again [s. Never Rome]

Bevor das zwei Album erschien, wurde der übelst gute Song "Bittersweet" (Lyrics ) veröffentlicht. - Hier findet sich das "Rain-Motiv" wieder.

Zitat

We spent the night outside on the porch drinking gin in the house on the coast as the storm rolled in

My regrets, where to begin?

It's coming back to me, it's coming round again

Your dark hair and your pale skin, and all the goddamn times I never let you in, shit

I swear to god I wish I told you everything

It's coming back to me, it's coming round again

We're hopeless again (X2)

Bittersweet, you know what they say

We shine and we fade, it's always the way

Bittersweet, you know what they say

I guess everything's going to kill you one day

The doctor said "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit

Take medicine, you'll feel again", but I sure as hell just feel like shit

Bittersweet, we shine and we fade

I guess everything's going to kill you one day

Bittersweet, you know what they say

We shine and we fade, it's always the way

Bittersweet, you know what they say

I guess everything's going to kill you one day

The doctor said "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit

Take medicine, you'll feel again", but I sure as hell just feel like shit

He says "It's probably all that drinking", and I say

"Doc, you're overthinking, why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?”

(We shine and we fade) It's coming back to me, it's coming round again (x4)

There are pieces of us strewn across your bedroom floor

And there are pieces of me in a trail out your door

Your sister's sad smile as I passed her on the front porch

I got stuck in a downward spiral in a time when you needed more

I said "I'm sorry, you know' You said "Get out, just go”

And I went to pieces with you watching from your window

I've got these loveless bones, now all I know is alone

So I lit my final cigarette and I walked three postcodes home

We shine and we fade (x2)

The doctor said "Your head's a mess, you've come apart bit by bit

Take medicine, you'll feel again", but I sure as hell just feel like shit

He says "It's probably all that drinking", and I say

"Doc, you're overthinking, why would I interfere with a process that's keeping me from sinking?”

Bittersweet, we shine and we fade

I guess everything's going to kill you one day

Zitat

We're on our way back from parts unknown

Death grabs a hold, time takes it's toll

Wandering down the darkest roads

Night's getting cold with wrongs to atone

Burning maps of the places we go

It's starting to rain, knees turn to stone

Forgetting faces of people we know

There's no hope, there's no heroes

And I don't know much of fate

But what doesn't kill you lies in wait

(It lies in wait)

We are the warning signs

We will never forget, no we will never forget, no

We spent our whole damn lives living as children of regret

There's no hope, there's no heroes

I told you, I'm perfectly fine walking the thin line between disgraced and divine

With a heart of gold and the highest crimes

It's dawning on me as I'm growing older

That God is a bastard with a chip on his shoulder

And it's getting colder

And we lay down like dogs with wolf teeth dreams to bite the hand that feeds

But they hold all the keys, and thus we are little more than sheep

So I guess we'll always be tethered like birds of feather

Whatever the weather

We flock, fly south together, so I guess we will be lost forever

Lost forever

We are the warning signs

We will never forget, no we will never forget, no

We spent our whole damn lives living as children of regret

They buried the rich men next to the slaves

To show that in death, we are all the same

The grass is no greener, they're buried no deeper, and six feet down?

There is but one shade

Retreat to sleep, on your final day

No castles, no gods, no pride and no shame

They bear no crowns in tired ghost towns

No matter your name, they are just words on your grave

There's no hope, there's no heroes

Zitat

She's made her peace with her demons, so she's not alone

Sound asleep in the back seat on the drive home

I'm drunk on ideas of what will kill us faster

Eyes firmly fixed on our next disaster

So let me know what curses you wear on your sleeve

And let me know what sickness is the flavour of the week

I've got a smile like a broken record, so sing your saddest songs on repeat

"Well, I'm so tired of idle', we're far from perfect but I'm okay with denial"

"I've got these fears that tessellate through the threads in the wool

I miss the smell of smoke and the whiskey in a glass half full"

I don't want to die young anymore

Stay beautiful, stay beautiful, stay beautiful

Before I left I wrote you a letter

Said 'it's going to get worse before it gets any better'

So take a good hard look into these tired eyes

Because they're going to be tired for quite some time

I don't want to die young anymore

Would you kill for me? Because I'd kill for you

I'd lay the world at your feet

I'd tear the world apart so you could stay beautiful

Stay beautiful, kill for me

Can you please hold on? Lately you've started to fade

How are we so far gone? Look at the mess you've made

So please don't say a word, because I already know

That you've been drifting for days, my heart's no longer your home

I know we're dying, lover - I've seen it in your eyes

And honestly? I die a little inside each time

I'd take the lives of thousands, tear apart the world

Because love is the violence inside us all

Would you kill for me? Because I'd kill for you

I'd tear the world apart so you could stay beautiful

Stay beautiful

Kill for me

Zitat

Another night in a wasted life, in a private hell hidden out of sight

Don't let anyone in, I think the devil's listening

Throw another shot back, and I've lost track of each spin in the cycle of self-loathing

So I'm begging you, don't let anyone in, I think the devil's listening

Bottled up, or on the rocks

Drink it down, wash away with the things you're not

Heart on your sleeve, next to your suffering

With the things you're not and never will be

So the seasons change, I'm waiting, I'm fading away

And I swear on my name I watched you change, it's not the same

You said you were a new leaf, but there's a forest fire burning

Looking back on the wars we'd have never won, spring cleaning of your mind with a shotgun

I wish I could write my name in the wet concrete of the bricks I tied to my feet

So I could recall who the fuck I was before I started to sink beneath the hours and the days and the weeks

Keep quiet, keep your conscience clean, don't say a word, the devil's listening

You said you'd never leave but I can see the smoke in the trees

You said you'd never leave. But there's a forest fire burning

I'm not worthy of my name

I am withered, I'm decay

I'm a wretch, I'm a waste

I am wilted, a disgrace

Tired mind, empty gaze

In an awful fucking place

Half-hearted smile on my face

With a pocket full of plagues

It's the devil or god, but I'm not sure which

This swan song's reaching fever pitch

And so, young wings, I've heard some things about falling, whoever's pulling the strings
