favourite quotation

[ether]

Which is your favourite quotation from Katatonia lyrics?
There are many but I would say “ I live, ‘cause I need more light” and “ I keep on living in this my only wish/ that life will be good some day”, both of them bring a message of hope…
And I would add the one that appears as my signature (from Sulfur), because that’s the way I feel sometimes, as if I had a lot of energy and hidden qualities inside myself but I had never been able to express them, because of my weakness or because just of life and things that prevent you from finding your way…
I think I can go on with loads of quotations, but these were the first that come to my mind.

hmm... good question gotta agree with you, 'i keep on living...' is probably one of my favorites, along with 'some day we'll go further from this right into the bliss, some night we'll try to leave this place for another...' all of tonight's music (to make that a quotation, just take any section of the song ), and 'when i pause for one breath, i see millions like me..' as you said, many many more, but that's a few favorites

 

[LoboUivante]

"...slow

the sky is getting dark
death comes to take me away
and from the gateways you hear me cry..."

 

[Don Corleone]

"WHEREVER YOU ARE, I AM NOT."

 

[my dying groom]

"always closing down myself
lower sights and never see
worlds of noise and worlds of light
expecting not to be
not close enough for you
to hear a breath or steal a sigh
but just close enough for me
to take a step and pass you by"

 

[_Transparent_]

Gone are dreams of velvet voices
I am you, we were one
Vast are fields I walk
Where sorrow never dies
The sky unites with the blackened rain
Summon with my tears
Now descend on winterwings
My withering soul..
twisting names inside of me
electric atmosphere to be
must carry on one last time
cannot end what has begun

hmn, i dunno, i like all the lyrics, so its hard to choose some brilliant lyrics amongst brilliant lyrics, like finding hay in a hay stack i suppose

 

[requiem]

"You would never sleep at night
If you knew what I"ve been through".

Nothing's better than that!

 

[MacMoney]

The sound of falling, when the pictures are moving.

 

[Dakuroth]

"I'd like to try to live my life again
I'd like to see where I was going wrong"

But a lost of the others mentioned are great too...It's bloody hard to choose

 

[falling bird]

oh my god that's hard

I'll try, in almost every song there is one line i really like,but i try to name the best ones.

At first, my signature
then
-I know so well what is wrong,a language that is hard to speak
-What is worth with being here, i pray so often for a change
-Tonight my head is full of wishes(this line to me is just beautiful)

I like the it is to...lines from Dispossession very much as they describe helplessness perfectly.

the one requiem named is also very intense.

 

[in2thenight]

'what is wrong
not with the world but me'

 

[Melancholia]

this really hard.....hmmm i'll mention some:

* "I'm wasting my day waiting for rain" (so simple and beautiful )

* "I'd like to try to live my life again
I'd like to see where I was going wrong"

* "the words are numb and I am so afraid
there is no meaning" ( when the LFDGD album was realised i was in a period of great emptiness..and somehow i found myself in that song....i felt like everything i was saying or doing in my life was pointless....)

* "I keep on living in this my only wish/ that life will be good some day"

 

[adventcredence]

here's a few of the lines in wich jonas almost described my life...

From "brave"

-if you didn't know all the moments
when I lose myself I would tell the world

From "rainroom" (i posted this before but man this part it's just my life written down!)

-we saw it all pass by and you went by and I can't control anything when you said that life can't be what you want and I really want everything.

-From "Nowhere"

everything is real but i'm not here i've lost my strength somewhere nowhere used to care about weather used to plan the days that came used to try and watch you used to know my name.

From "i am nothing"

-if you would tell me that I was someone
then for a second I would think
just like I would try to consider
how it would feel to know


-And to the old style fans (like me..

I raise my fist To the sky
Swear the Ancient oath of Black
The lambs shall bleed
Eternally bleed
God is Dead and shall forever be.

sorry i know these are much larger to be considered "quotations" but to extract some tiny line is to erase the meaning (i don't know if that makes sense, but is how i felt writing this down).

falling bird, thanks for the reminder:
"tonight my head is full of wishes and everything i drink is full of her..."

 

[the_joy_of_grief]

When did I say this, 'I will never leave', I can't recall this moment in my life.

So true...

yes!!! This line is one of the all time greats, along with my former contribution, of course

Someone quoted 'I Am Nothing' which reminded me of a favourite I'd missed:

'I remember one of my friends telling me to go ahead'.

I love the suicide themes for some reason.

 

[LoboUivante]

some people live so that they may listen suicide themes songs.

 

[Unlit Flames]

"and" thats good

 

[Battle Angel]

"I have to get on with this... it's a decision for tonight, out to look for chances... it is murder of my mind." - I Am Nothing

"O my sweet nurse, pull the curtain aside for a while... so that I can, for once have the sun in my eye..." - Sweet Nurse

Some of my favorites were already posted, but I'll add these:

"for all of us lies in death a song
in times when truth is turning weak"

"in your eyes, you're alive
but in my eyes, you're a lie"

"I want to be forgoten, I want you to forgive
how I'm losing all this, it's just the was I live"
