johan Å: kan man få se texterna till låtarna där? jag får tuppskinn av dem, men det är väl säkert bara för att det är du.
det känns bowie tycker jag.
jag har ganska svårt för det tekniska sättet att lyssna, bedöma musik på, även om jag är lite miljöskadad och har en sådan bror som präglat mig, så står jag sällan ut när folk diskuterar olika ljud i olika gitarrer och liknande. jag har av samma anledning motsträvighet mot musik som i mångt o mycket verkar bygga på show-off-mentalitet eller kanske främst:relatera till allt annat som gjorts, (eller utmärka sig från det snarare kanske) "jävlar-va-smart!det-här-är-så-annorlunda/komplicerat/galet/smalt/uträknat(eller va man nu ska säga egentligen..)"
aelvan, skyll dig själv nu:
jag har ju alltid svårt att begränsa mig, att hitta det representativa (guldkornen) i en väv av texter som tillsammans gör helheten..så jag vill egentligen bara säga:
www.sopor-aeternus.de -->/Texte/ och: läses albumvis. (egentligen ska man inte läsa dem, då de är en del av treenigheten bild.text.musik.. som lätt blir vanhelgad av att separeras

)
och på tal på cohen, så är det något alldeles speciellt med avalanche. men jag kan inte förklara med ord.
men ok, här är ett nästan slumpmässigt urval:
Memalon II
Who is the old man,
who fills my heart with greatest pain yet his name remains unheard?
I look at you and true tears shake my eternal saturnworld. Who is the old man,
whose picture burned itself down to the bottom of my soul.
You push me back and raise me up, the criteria for both I long to know.
Who are you I worship? what is the name of the one i saw?
tell me how to reach you, to you I'd bow my head in awe.
You speak to me, but what is it I hear? we have never really touched...
Such is the design of my greatest fear. Cruel, cruel,cruel... a veil I cannot penetrate,
in different worlds we dwell, attempting to dissolve what seperates.
I force my face against this strangest membrane-wall
and desperately I call for you from the darkest depths of my lonely soul.
The mist of the dimensions through which to glance it seems not allowed,
or maybe it's just that our "level" is of no interest as it is simply too low.
Is it true that only the mirror's strength can conquer the mist and then be
therefore received? you turn around the illusion of a voice...
My desire crowned by another defeat.
If doubt walks in I am growing weak in fear...
"One day all pictures fade". Lying down,
looking inside I call my dead lover in his grave.
My eyes have caught a glimpse of you, now I devour myself to embrace your peace.
The distance grows, we drift apart. What is the use of eyes if they cannot see?
hear me in my darkness, please wait for me, I'll find the way. I promise,
I shall resist the tides, until I'm finally united with you again...
May I kiss your Wound ?
May I kiss your wound ?
Maybe that will heal my soul.
Free me from this tomb,
light my darkness, make me whole!
Let me take your hand, and together we shall fly
to a lonely place, where as "lovers" we can die.
In a land ... so dark ...
of seven moons ... eternal night,
with a sky of thousand stars,
yet, for us there is no light...-
there waits no light.
ok, en till, det går helt enkelt inte..att behärska sig, en av de mer svulstiga och högstämda:
If Loneliness was all
Imagine what it would be like
if loneliness was all...!
No fulfillment, nor hope inside,
could I endure this sadest fate
if loneliness was all...?
(scene cut)
"Will i ever find the one
i've waited for a thousand years?
But the answer to this question lies
within the confines of your (hopes and) fears.
"Heal me, feel me, reveal and seal me!
Shed a light upon my lonely soul!"
But there is no-one (no other being)
on the outside to make you whole...
(scene cut)
"Twelve faces shape the unholy circle,
one mask for any opportunity.
This sphere must remain incomplete...
(as) in its centre the thirteenth mask is me."
If love was something i could feel,
at least some kind of cheerfulness...
but i feel nothing, drowned in pain,
half-frozen in my emptiness.
Beyond this veneer of friendliness
lies my true face, that no-one knows.
This mask's a lie, obvious and sad,
my heart is empty and all is cold.
[the same stage:]
(on the staicase, some other night)
Imagine, what it would be like,
if love was really all...!
Then I'd truly be alone
without a resting place or a final home,
if love was really all...
"Confide a secret to me,
and i'll keep it to myself!
I'm like a temple built of sadness,
trustworthy like a grave..."
