Hmmm, I think that since Rusty started this thread, it should be ENTIRELY dedicated to Anathema and Antimatter. In fact, if you're not listening to either of these bands, don't bother posting! :p
I like you.
 
Wonderful chorus...great singers.

Cross that bridge to the other side
Follow your heart, you can't go wrong
Come with me, I will be your guide
And lead you back where you belong
 
Dark Tranquillity - Static
 
you know you ain't going nowhere
you're stuck inside while the mind is flying
you said you'd help me in the morning
twisting on pins into my eyes
and dragging on the ceiling below you
fixing up the walls with your crooked hands
while you're miles away, miles away, miles away

i didn't think it'd all end up like this
there's spiders on the wall and they stink of piss
dead heads lying in the corner
staring at me making me feel bad
i put my hands up to my eyes
but the holes in my palms let me find a way
to corner you, corner you, corner you

i can't feel my chest because it ain't much
sucking through my skin into my brain
oxygen pushing on the window
cracks in the glass let it slip away
i start to cry and i keep on laughing
i close my eyes at what's left inside
and then i ran away, ran away, ran away

for all the time in this land
and all the time in my hands
circle round in depth found
calmness fall once again

razor blades floating in the warm bath
air bubbles in your veins turning my hands black
whispers coming from the next room
window cleaner keep on spying
i put my hands up to my eyes
but the holes in my palms let me find a way
to corner me, corner me, corner me

twelve ton hammer for my breakfast
slipping of the edge in catatonic blood
multiple decibel inscriptions
trying all they can in miles an hour
all face grey and looming downwards
sniffing all the time for a ounce of silence
screaming all the way, all the way, all the way

numbers counting down inside me
solar system thoughts circle round my head
false teeth hanging from the ceiling
feet looking of the gums of the second son
i eat my hands 'cos my legs are crying
you broke my neck 'cos i snapped my spine
i wish you'd die away, die away, die away

for all the time in this land
and all the time in my hands
circle round in depth found
calmness fall once again
 
please, please forgive me
but i won't be home again
maybe someday you'll look up
and barely conscious you'll say to no one: "isn't something missing?"
you won't cry for my absence I know
you forgot me long ago
am I that unimportant?
am I so insignificant?
isn't someone missing me?
 
Näitkö vanhan miehen,
joka kärryjänsä työntää -
niihin kamaa haalii,
mikä muilta yli jää.
Silmissään vain menneisyyttä,
sodat joihin joutui syyttä.
Eilisiin lehtiin valheet eiliset jää...

Niin kuinka siis voit edes väittää,
sä että yksinäinen oot?
Jos halki kaupunkimme kuljet
ilman että silmäs suljet -
huomaat että sentään lähes onnellinen oot.

Ootko nähnyt miehen,
joka toista miestä etsii -
seuraasi hän tahtoo,
häntä katsot inhoten.
On silmissään vain pelokkuutta,
arkaa rakkaudettomuutta,
ymmärrystä hieman hän pyytää vaieten...

Ootko nähnyt naisen,
joka ruumiinsa on myynyt.
Hän asemalla seisoo
tyhjä sydän kädessään.
Autiot on silmät nämä,
hymy tuskan jähmettämä,
hän ei edes muistaa voi kuinka itketään...

Ootko nähnyt pojan
alta kahdentoista vuoden
jossain hourailevan
joku pullo kädessään.
Tinneri tai alkoholi,
missä isä äiti oli
kun lapsi öisin heräs märkään pimeään?


Some people on this forum should take heed.
'S funny how I can't relate to hundreds of kids held as hostages somewhere in Russia but I can certainly relate to the imagined people in this song.
 
It's time to let you go
It's time to say goodbye
There's no more excuses
No more tears to cry
But it's so hard to let you go now
All that could have been
I'll always have the memories
She'll always have you
Fate has a way of changing
Just when you don't want it to
Sometimes it will be too late
Sometimes it won't be fair
I can't recreate what just might have been
I know that my heart will find love again
 
i think i had an anathema overdose so i decided to download depressive songs of my teenage years. (im feeling happy btw :p but still )


I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
On my liar’s chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
 
Great song Gaby, but I'm a bit disturbed by your ability to overdose on Anathema. That's just... wrong.
