[Verse 1]
Desperate to get on this train
When it rains
So long to my best friend
Which I intend
You can hardly look back
the infinite track
To the only one destination
The freespeed nation
[Chorus 1]
Sit on the cold seat
Watching time to fleet
Surrounded by train noise
walking into the void
[Verse 2]
See her bound by despair
Lost her chair
Seems like she is weeping
For the small things
She asks what should I do
Just to get through
The question haunts like demon
Turn into the forbidden
[Chorus 2]
Gaze your own shoes
Close your eyes and feel it
Don’t be afraid of that noise
Become part of the void

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes
Abyss lies
Pull me under
Pull me under
Falling away
Lights will fade
Pull me under
Pull me under
[Verse 2]
Day has come
Nothing you can do
Stranded endless
Trapped hopeless
Pull me under
Pull me under

[Verse 1]
Boring as usual
The repetition, the same trees, same roads, all over again.
Thousands and thousands times and it never changes
As time goes by
Maybe I am just a passer-by to the city
A dust to the Universe
My deeds will be undone
My actions will be erased
[Pre-chorus 1]
Would you grab the ticket to the otherworld
Leave everything behind and vanish?
[Bridge]
The new world
Dreamier than my dream
Is here just in front of me
No more pain
No more sorrow
There's only eternality of peace
[Verse 2]
A whole new life
The green grass, the calm sea, the deep blue sky are everywhere
It's the place where I want to live forever.
My body is here, yet my mind isn't
Things in the city faraway still haunt me.
Start frustrated, feel isolated.
Do I make the right choice?
[Pre-chorus 2]
Would you grab the ticket to the otherworld
Left everything behind and vanish?

Drift in the sea
between you and me
Sailing all alone
Drift in the sea
between you and me
Sailing all alone
Miles away
Without a trace
Forgotten faces
Forgotten place
From longitude
To latitude
Rising altitude
Voyage in solitude

[Verse 1]
In my dreams I am told to see you
My minds can't stop thinking of you
[Verse 2]
Walking down the old place and look up the sky
to seek the truth and never look back, look back

about
The feel of the album is both hope and despair and both colourful and grey, just like human beings. We live in cities. Although it is populated, we still feel isolated and frustrated and relationships between people are fragile. While it seems negative, I would see this also an opportunity to bring back ourselves, to dictate the meaning of our life. The thought is actually quite nihilistic with optimism.
The idea came into my mind when one day I worked very late till midnight when I was a college student. During the train ride back home, I could enjoy the solitude the night brings and walk down the empty streets with soothing breezes.
The city is indeed very beautiful and the streetscapes are stunning. That was totally contrasted with crowded streets and noisy car engines during the typical day in Hong Kong.

"It's hopeful and grey at the same time as it feels like it's breathing new life into an old and jaded body, allowing it to fully live again." - Custom Made Music

pour un groupe qui a fait de l'échec son leitmotiv — stroszek ouvre littéralement sa carrière sur cette phrase : "I can't start like this / it hurts so bad" —, revenir en arrière a du sens. en effet, a break in the day est un e.p. dans lequel on retrouvera les chansons qui se trouvaient déjà dans the wild hunt. mais ça va plus loin que ça car ce n'est plus c. qui chante mais nat. cette voix féminine, couplée à une dark folk sans batterie encore plus intimiste, crée une atmosphère magique...

He should bottle his songwriting patience, his superior expressive timing and sell it. Ennoven knows how to develop heavy anticipation and expertly build it to the point of euphoric release like few others do.

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...

Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite.

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.
