i was driving home listening to DNB (awesome rainy day cd) thinking about that pictures that always come into my head because of the lyrics and/or music of some of the songs
beyond within - some dark futuristic city thrown into chaos and mob rule
the death of passion - a seashore at night during a storm ("obsidian lies"), turbulant water, foaming waves ("the riptide lies ahead") and i see flower petals falling from the sky into a black whirlpool ("my passions now are dead/i am the void")
i am the dog - same setting, turbulant sea at night, the woman "screaming from the alcove" of rocks
the lotus eaters - the lotus eaters from the Odyssey, they're these thin, pale, blind humanoids on this desolate, shadowy island but the lotus flowers are glowing
all play dead - an empty room in a dilaphidated house, weak sunlight is coming in through a grimy window and you can kind of see the ivy that's growing up over the house. people (or just one person) lie on the cold gray floor ("i'll sleep in this quiet room") - maybe an opium den?
cenotaph - this underwater grotto that is bright like a dreamworld ("foreboding fear trickles down the spine into the pool resonating/ the dreamer lies in velvet sleep") and a graveyard during a raging storm, a man on his kneels covered in dirt digging a grave to place the cenotaph at
a sun that never sets by neurosis makes me think of the seashore a lot, too. most opeth songs just make me think of landscapes and forests (spring, winter, fall), a lot of the time there's rain. most songs/albums by my dying bride make me think of cemetaries - sometimes they're dark and rainy, sometimes they're sunny
anybody else?
