Blood.
Song.
Time.
Sing.

Quantum collapse will burn the bridge where many worlds existed.
Now a single slope unfolds
Steep as a mountain, slippery as ice
The ever downward spiral, the inevitable tide
The outlines of a beast, slowly taking form
Pixel by pixel, giving birth to deadly shape

The circle of confusion
The ever shifting focus
Lenses stretching, torn apart

Losing hope is losing mind, losing hope is losing mind
The ever downward spiral, the inevitable tide
Afraid to remember, unable to forget
The time when man and snake and apple met
Waterboarding is our friend, and God is on our side
The ever downward spiral, the inevitable tide

Blood.
Song.
Time.
Sing.

You cheat on your own lover!
You fuck with your own brother!
You fight with one another!
Your cold heart will not recover!




The following lines were in the booklet, but I can't hear them anywhere in the song:
Alarms flaring, tortured silence steel arms dreaming of atomic winds shattered satellites. Holy war on neophytes
Mothers womb will turn to tomb hearts will claw at bony cage time will sing, death will die

    Song Fact

    The lines from the booklet that aren't in the song are part of the "original" version of the song that Shining played with Enslaved as part of Nine Nights in Nothingness - Glimpses of Downfall (aka the Armageddon Concerto). Many songs featured on the album Blackjazz are directly influenced by that performance and are often reworkings or rerecordings of those songs.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
