Favorite Opeth Lyric

[NOONE]

THIS DAY WEPT ON MY SHOULDERS

 

[Korlich]

"I will endure, hide away. I would outrun the scythe glaring with failure"

"To find my way back home"

"And I cried...."

"The only way to follow..."

"Lost love of the heart in a holocaust scene memory"

"Hiiigh, hiiiiiigher"

"Thought I could not leave this place on this imminent day..."

"Wept for solace and submit to faith"

"Devious movements in your eyes.."

"This is forgiveness so I know..."

"They wear white for me..."

"I turned away my eyes..."

"A rain was waving goodbye.."

"Sick liasions raised this monumental mark, the sun sets forever, over, Blackwater Paaaaaaaaaaaark"

"As I´ve come clean I forgotten what I promised..."

"The piercing sounds you make.."

And I could go on......Damn I love Opeth

 

[Vættur]

"The piercing sounds you make.."

Oh, yes! This verse is the top-part of Deliverence.

 

[Reclusive Strike]

"There is no forgiveness in these eyes
For any of you but one
Dispel the mist for now
Melinda is the reason why I've come"

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Oh, yes! This verse is the top-part of Deliverence.

Oh yeah, I also want to add all of Deliverance, the song. How could I forget it? "In liquid celophane, gasping for air!"

 

[opeth_353]

For me at least.. it seems that every week i still find out or rediscover one bit in a song.. or just a certain trait in Opeth songs.. that just clarifys how much i love this band lol.

This passage jumped out at me today:
"We entered winter once again, Naked freezing from my breath.."
Amazing song.

 

[Weakness]

"In the rays of the sun, I am longing for Darkness"

[biggsy]

pacing roads unknown
searching for a new home
desert in my eye
barren lands inside

devious movement in your eyes
moved me from relief
breath comes out white clouds with your lies
and filters through me
your close to the final word
your staring right past me in dismay
a liquid seeps from your chest
and drains me away

spiral into the ground below
like autumn leave sleft in the wake to fade away

out on the road, there are fireflies circling
deep in the wood, where the lost souls hide
speak to me now, or the world will crumble
open the door oand the moon will fall
all of your life, all your memories
go to your dream, forget it all

the piercing sounds you make
soaring higher, higher now
and once left in my wake
youre memories nothing but the scars on me
it always burns within
the downward spiral never ends
when driven into sin
your salvations found in a sinners deeds

your memories nothing but the scars on me

soothing trance
colours fade and disappear
ethereal light
showing me what what i can do without

fading touch
writhing in the embers
damp mud burning in my eyes
all the faces turn away
and all would sneer at my demise





i turned away my eyes
in palour escape from the end
fading time to leave from here
and less to fulfil my task
she would be safe and firm
nothing of this is in vain
taken away from stifling grace
and safe from the past

came with the moon
the wayward in conscious state
flanked and barred in destiny’s end
underneath with hope in laches
swathed in filth
any would betoken
starlit shadows on the wall
finally there to collect me
from the bowels of sin

all of these lyrics are the ones that especially jumped out at me and made me feel something… even if opeths music wasn’t a masterpiece, I would listen to it for these lyrics.

 

[EchoOfAutumn]

"We enter winter once again" - the leper affinity

"Torn by the arrival of autumn" - demon of the fall

"Run away, run away. Just one second, and I was left with nothing. Her fragrance still pulsating through damp air. That day came to an end. And she had lost in me, her credence." - demon of the fall

"When can I take you from this place? When is the word but a sigh? When is death our lone beholder? When do we walk the final steps? When can we scream instead of whisper?" - When

"Devious movements in your eyes moved me from relief breath comes out white clouds with your lies and filters through me you're close to the final word you're staring right past me in dismay a liquid seeps from your chest and drains me away mist ripples round your thin white neck and draws me a line cold fingers mark this dying wreck This moment is mine" - bleak

"walk with me, you'll never leave wait to see your spirit free tell me how your heart's in need as i drown you in the sea" - deliverence

"Sick liaisons raised this monumental mark, The sun sets forever over Blackwater park" - blackwater park

and the entire lyrics of still day beneath the sun and patterns in the ivy II

 

[opheliaimmortal]

"In the rays of the sun, I am longing for the darkness"


I love it I love it. Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!!!!!

 

[Mistress Bleak]

"When can I take you from this place?
When is the word but a sigh?
When is death our lone beholder?
When do we walk the final steps?
When can we scream instead of whisper?

When is the new beginning,
the end of this sad madrigal."

That's one of my favorite parts EVER! Also some of my favorite lyrics.

Aside from that part, I rarely look up lyrics when it comes to Opeth, so I usually just sing along the ones that I can make out. In "Wreath," I ALWAYS growl "THERE IS NO ABSOLUTION!!!!!" And then the cymbal fill Lopez does afterwards is so fucking perfect. I love that part to death. I always catch myself banging my fist along with each syllable of that line. So fucking powerful...

Heh, anyway, another part I always sing along to is the "I will endure, hide away. I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure..." That's another one of my alltime favorite parts.

Another part that I absolutely adore is "DARKNESS BY HER SIDE!" from "Ghost of Perdition." That part never fails to make me headbang.

This part is the part that first made me love Opeth. From "Bleak": "Devious movements in your eyes
Moved me from relief
Breath comes out white clouds with your lies
And filters through me
You're close to the final word
You're staring right past me in dismay
A liquid seeps from your chest
And drains me away
Mist ripples round your thin white neck
And draws me a line
Cold fingers mark this dying wreck
This moment is mine..."

I also sing along to pretty much every song on Damnation, since I can actually make out the lyrics to those. (Plus, I probably listened to it 1000 times in a row as soon as I got it.)

And finally, I sing along to all the clean parts of "Godhead's Lament," which is quite possibly the best song ever written.

Hooray for Opeth!

 

[TheUnforgiven]

You sleep in the light
Yet the night and the silent water
Still so dark...



Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages
Of the rapture born within this loss
Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my sooooooooul
