Des jours qui ne ressemblent qu'à l'ombre des nuits
Des silences qui résonnent à l'âme comme un cri
Quand les paupières n'ont même plus la force des orages
Quand, porté par les flots, je ne vois plus rivage
Des amours qui sont nées aux mauvaises saisons
Quand l'printemps a tardé à ouvrir ses bourgeons
Des lunes toujours pleines qui ne me sourient plus
Comme jouer aux échecs quand la reine est perdue

Que tout est noir
Que tout est noir
Comment te dire
Que tout est noir
Comment j'ai peur
Comment j'ai froid
Comment te dire
Quand t'es pas là
Que moi sans toi
Ca ne veut rien dire
Comment te dire, dis-moi
Comment te dire
Que moi sans toi
C'est comme un rire
Qui trouve pas
Vers où mourir

Mes sciences qui ressemblent qu'à l'ombre du doute
Le bien qui fait du mal quand le mal vous envoûte
Quand au coeur de l'iris c'est le temps des moussons
Qui vient noyer le blé juste avant la moisson
Dans les travers du temps, je sais, je t'ai perdue
Et tu l'as dit cent fois, tu ne reviendras plus
Alors je peux partir comme un loup solitaire
Qui, blessé, s'en ira mourir auprès d'un hêtre
Moi, j'aurais tant voulu que cet être soit toi
Tant voulu avec toi être un autre que moi
Au profond de ton ventre faire plus belle la Terre
Oublier qui je suis et fermer les paupières

Que tout est noir
Que tout est noir
Comment te dire
Que tout est noir
Comment j'ai peur
Comment j'ai froid
Comment te dire
Quand t'es pas là
Que moi sans toi
Ca ne veut rien dire
Comment te dire
Comment te dire
Que moi sans toi
C'est comme un rire
Comme un triste navire
Qui sait pas où partir

Quand on est tellement seul que même la solitude
Vous semble être une amie dont on se passerait
Celle qui fut toujours là depuis le premier souffle
Qui depuis ce jour-là ne veut plus vous quitter
Quand vous ne savez plus qu'un jour vous saviez rire
Quand le mal a choisi votre âme pour empire
Quand tous les romantiques et les tristes du monde
Ont choisi votre coeur pour se mettre à pleurer

Que tout est noir
Que tout est noir
Comment te dire
Que tout est noir
Comment j'ai peur
Comment j'ai froid
Comment te dire
Quand t'es pas là
Que moi sans toi
Ca ne veut rien dire
Comment te dire, dis-moi
Comment te dire
Que moi sans toi
C'est comme un rire
Qui trouve pas
Vers où mourir

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
