| Katatonia – In Death, A Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This is a song I really relate to. When I listened to it first, I was in a relationship that was obviously going down the drain. But since each of us was in a different country, we couldn't really break up yet. Anyway, before she came back here, I would listen to this song a lot, since basically everything would fit my/our situation. When she came back, the sun was going back down. I live way up north, so there is a marked differenve between winter and summer - and in winter there is hardly any sun at all. She came back in September, when winter was arriving - she came back to a place without sun. Since it was obvious, even before she came back, that we'd break up, she "came back with nothing to lose". We spoke different languages, and she was studying my native tongue - "a language that is hard to speak" (her language isn't that easy, either!). This whole song relates pretty well to my situation at the time, almost word for word. So obviously it means a lot to me. |

Such memories with this song ... first Anathema song that I heard, and I listened to this album a lot (A LOT!) back in summer of '99 - a summer of great and varied changes in my personal life. So just on that level, this song means a great deal to me, all kinds of personal things concerning friends, a girlfriend and so on. But the song itself is, I believe, about life as a whole. Just about being born, growing up and all that - and where everyone's heading, eventually. |

| Burzum – Jesus' Tod Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Well, the song's called "Jesus's Death", and it mentions this "being" that's so evil all the flowers wither, so cold that all the water freezes, and when the being dies (or its soul fades/withers away), a shadow falls over the forest (which could represent the whole world, or maybe just the forests of Norway?). It's a nice reversal of how Jesus is usually seen - depicting him as an evil, evil being, rather than as a good person; a being that brings darkness instead of light. |

| My Dying Bride – Sear Me Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
The music is great, really top stuff. The singing / death grunting as well. The lyrics are crap, though. As far as I can tell, all the nouns are masculine and in the nominative, and all the verbs are in the infinitive. The first line, "incendere suus", would more properly be translated "to set he on fire"; "damnare suus vita" is "to reject he life", etc. Unless, of course, I've really forgotten what little Latin I once knew. Shame, really, because the song itself is very good. They should just have stuck with singing in English. |

| Antimatter – Over Your Shoulder Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This song is basically the only reason why I want to learn how to play guitar. Which I'll do, someday... As far as what the song means ... I think it's saying "Don't worry. Things'll work out, eventually. Stay with reality, don't get carried away in fantasies and daydreams." The final lines Stick it out there's hope on the horizon keep from going down have actually been some consolation to me recently. If I ever get to meet these guys, I'll just have to say "Thank you!" |

| My Dying Bride – The Light At The End Of The World Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Pretty straightforward, this - doesn't leave much up for interpretation, does it? Still, it's a pretty good story, well told. Just wish that the song included all the lyrics written, and not just parts of them. | |
| Anathema – Don't Look Too Far Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"I sever the line that divides I sever the feelings inside I sever between you and me" Just reminds me of a breakup I once went through. These lines basically describe what I had to do in order to start living again. Love the song, love the album, love the band. Easily one of my top-five bands. |

| Anathema – A Natural Disaster Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Agreed - she sounds just great. She's also good on "Parisienne Moonlight" off Judgement, and sounds very good on the live dvd as well. I don't think, though, that it implies that the narrator screwed anything up in the relationship, or at least that there were no big-time screw-ups. Just a failure to keep the thing going (as in "You just slipped through my fingers"). I don't agree, either, that it's a particularily depressing song after a break-up. On the contrary, I think it's a great song (and great album, and great band) to listen to after that. Much better sitting home singing along to stuff like this (and later headbanging and airguitaring to Meshuggah), than going out, getting drunk and into fights, or getting drunk and calling the ex up at five in the morning. |
