Hallihallo,
ich bin gerade mit meinem Jungs dabei, die ersten paar Songs einzuspielen und kaum haben wir uns darauf geeinigt, englische Texte zu schreiben, die nächste Hürde: Wie schreibt man richtig geile englische Texte, wenn man kein Muttersprachler ist? 15 Punkte im Englisch-Abi und 1 Jahr in London sind halt nicht das gleiche, wie ein Leben in Kent :/
Trotzdem hab ich mich zusammengerafft und hier ein paar Verschen aufgeschrieben und in eine halbwegs geordnete Reihenfolge gebracht:
Selfish Love
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a fath that can move mountains,
but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to the hardship that I may boast,
but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Looking into the mirror
I wish you still stood by my side
I stare into the empty space around me
and wonder why you left.
What's the point of spitting your soul onto a blank sheet of paper,
all your feelings splattered over the place.
Words written down only to be locked away,
concealing a truth you don't have the courage to face.
no letter can ever heal the slices of selfishness...
the damage has been done...
writing endless poems without anything to say,
the vultures of sin return everey day...
facing the sun yet everything is grey,
but it doesn't have to be this way!
your dream is a lie, when you exist just to please her,
wake up before it's too late!
I can't!
Reality will rip me to pieces!
So, too, will your hopes buried under your skin!
nothing is worse than being eternally cursed,
to love someone out of reach.
Shake off the restraints you put on yourself
and start practicing what you preach!
once given, how easily is this promise broken
like shattered glass and its shards pierce my skin.
Once said, how hard are these words to
take back, and I bleed for your sins.
sweet lies,
oh I miss this kindness in your eyes,
when deception dropped like water from your lips...
While it wasn't sinking, you still abbandoned ship...
I will not vanish like a nightmare at sunrise!
You won't ... wake up ... to find ... everything is alright!
I will ... remain ... and learn ... not to lend my heart again!
You taught me how to live
only to thrust the knife of envy through my heart
and left me to die...
or was it me?
With all the hate in my words and self-pity in my heart
you'd have a point to ask: "Why are you standing in the rain?"
I guess, I'm still waiting for a voice to tell me:
"I know your love, I know your pain,
your suffering was all in vain".
And I will continue to wait til my beard grows long
and the weight of my faults makes me fall to the ground.
I wil remain like chained Prometheus with my hopes and dreams drowned.
As my illusions turn to dust, I realize I was wrong.
And even if I have love but nobody to love me,
I am not better than a selfish foo longing for attention.
Love is a two-way-street and unanswered feelings are
mere empty words meant to make us feel significant.
But love is sin and sind needs to be purged before you choke
and drown in its depths. And there is only one way to escape...
Ein paar Anmerkungen:
Die erste "Strophe" ist ein Zitat aus dem Korintherbrief. Die letzte greft das Thema wieder auf.
Ohne die erste Strophe mitzuzählen, sind es 13 Strophen, eine bekanntlich symbolische Zahl
Der Gesang ist ein Mix aus Sprechgesang(Erste und letzte Strophe), klarem Domsingknabengesang und Growls.
Das Stück ist meist in G-Moll/D-Phrygisch, mit ein paar Ausflügen nach F-Moll, D-Moll und Fis-Moll.
Die Musik dazu ist in progress, soll aber vor Ende das Jahres zusammen mit einem 3-minütigen Intro stehen (Geschätzte Gesamtzeit: 11-14 Minuten)
Stilistisch bewegt es sich irgendwo zwischen Metal(progressive, doom, death), Klassik(Romantik) und modernen Soundtracks.
Bin für Kommentare, Lob, Kritik, Anregungen jeder Art immer dankbar
