Les lumières s'éteignent
Faisant de la ville une labyrinthe si froid
Elle défile devant moi
Viens, prends ma main et partons là
Où les nuages noirs se seront dissipés
Les stations s'enchaînent, leurs noms
Sonnant comme ceux d'endroits hostiles
Tous similaires.
Les visages absents, les couloirs confinés.
Et finalement, cette étendue de terre battue par les vents.
Les caresses de la brise, le froid de l'hiver
n'ont pu effacer toutes mes larmes
Et je me vois ainsi chaque année.

Reminiscences
06:24

I walk under the street lights
A cold late autumn night
I am being weighed down by inebriation
Thinking how fucked up
My urban and monotone life really is
Spending my days in those dead halls
With all those unfamiliar faces
Pretending to be someone I am not
The others believe I'm someone I am not
I think about how it would be
If we'd be still holding hands
Walking in the streets, going to the station
Under the rising sun, symbol of our farewell
But tomorrow these memories will be fading away

You left me here, on the other side of the void
that kept us away from each other.
I screamed to the dark and cloudy sky
and felt that sharp wind on my face
and my tears joining the rain.
You vanished without giving me the hope
To see your wonderful face again
I've given you soul and you've taken all that I had left.
Leaving me forsaken.
I fell into the void, going faster and faster
And I just bursted into fire
And the angels didn't help me
cause they had all gone away.

Farewell

Can you hear it ?
The wind is transporting my farewells
Can you see it ?
The snow is following so intensively
A man walking with a duffle coat, struggling against the cold
The Horizon is nothing but grey for thousand miles around
I'll find you there, lying dead, naked on the ground
Your skin as pure as the snow from last winter
I climb a hill and face the vast.
And the clouds disperse
And the sky becomes clear again
Burning orange surronds me
Slowly turns to violet
I howl at the sky, look at my frozen hands
And they hurt so bad, it's still so cold out there
It is not the last scream of despair you will hear from me

Car Wreck

I was standing alone
Nearby a terrible accident
Standing in front of this vast
and desolated land.
No sun could even shine
through these clouds
black as the greatest depths.
This guy told me
I was looking for you
Then he held my hand and took me
For journey through
So depressively similar places
I could have never wondered the destination of that journey
would be where I always wanted to be.
Unfortunately Ionly found a place that vanished
In front of my eyes.
The only person I could have ever loved
was just the person I’ve missed all my life
I fade away like a ghost.
Cause I've died
Only moments ago
In fact I've started to die
Since the day I failed to
Look at you my love.
If you still want to hear about me
They'll play this song at my funeral

Nothing Left
08:11
|

|
We’re all searching something from beyond the abyss
We let ourselves being guided by noises carried by the mist
The Cold grabbing my neck. The wind drying my tears.
A blank expression on my face
Wait I here something coming in my room.
Like a force wanting to get me out of here
I think it wants me to carry on my trip into the void.
It’s so empty here, it was not what I was looking for.
It’s always the same, I think I can put my trust in you.
But in the end there isn’t anything left.
Nothing left of what we said
Nothing left of what we did
Nothing Left of what we were.
Already vanished in the void.
Nothing Left of what we said
Nothing Left of what we did
Nothing Left of what we were
Yes, it’s the hurt I do live for.

When You Are Not There
03:29

When you are not there
It seems like Death has taken you away
Even if your memory encloses glimmers
In my loneliness they are cold embers
I whisper mentally in silence
Like mantras which may not be heard
If you are not there
Then neither am I
Are we still floating in the air?
Or are we about to die?
Here lingers a mute suffering
Here decay stiffens ropes
Here, away fade my hopes
Here I am a mere thing
Silence sounds an odd tune
An endless dull and gloom tune
Playing with the daily triviality

Pearls

The Inner Child :
It is not the way I thought it would be
It's so dark and cold, I feel empty inside
I'm entangled by ropes constantly choking my neck
The Doomer to the inner child :
I see you're silhouettte fading behind anthracite smoke
Your hand reaching out for mine
And I can't grab it.
I have to let go of you
Cause you're dead my child
The Bloomer :
You're worthy of love, worthy of trust.
You deserve compassion and you deserve happiness
For you are a pearl
And so are all your loved ones
You'll shine for each other no matter what may come
In the dark storm that we call life

Abnormal Cell

I feel uncomfortable
I am not safe here
I am not to stay here much longer now
I'll fall
For every abnormal cell is meant to die

Absolutely unreal. The only thing I didn't love about this album was that it was over so quickly.....it warrants repeat back to back listens. Captivating from the first instant.

This is one of the best blackgaze albums I've heard in the past decade. Definitely a refreshing take on a genre that has been going stagnant.
