If you were to design some DD merch....

[emjayhaych]

Well I'm still waiting for an easy way to get some Damage Done merch here in the UK.....unless I don't know something?

Anyway, I just thought I'd ask if you were making the t-shirt/long-sleeve etc design, what lyrical extract would you use for the back (assuming it had, like, album related artwork on the front, and another design on the back, not like the Damage Done t-shirt advertised on the official site which is basically just black with 'Dark Tranquillity - Damage Done' font on the front)

Here's my suggestions I would choose, in no order:

"What can you tell me of the inside,
Is it as bright as all can see?"

"Set aside from eyes of others,
Our frail structures can't keep up with the pace"

"Sensory perception,
Turn the nighttime into day"

"Mind cloven, sweet spoken"
(I love that phrase )

"Just show me a brand new face,
An open mind against a dying race"

"Who will cave in first,
The leader or the fake,
Monochromatic stains..."

 

[seventi]

I really like these lyrics

"Disaffected, left to internal struggle
let the ring cries of disacord"

"What of the time's in exile?
What of the hours passed?"

"What if touches seem to trivial" (sounds kinda gay to me if it were to be printed on a t-shirt)

And of course the hellscream on I, Deception

A red t-shirt with these words written in white
"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah"

 

[storken]

Some typical Examples:

"This is the Final Resistance" [Final Resistance shirt]

"You can never tell me I'm wrong
a song I've heard so long" [Hours Passed in Exile shirt]

"I never thought you would
But always knew you could" [Also HPiE]

Let me tell you about the loss of all - Let me nail you to the treason wall" [Treason Wall shirt]

"Something has got to Give" [Format C shirt]

"..we go" [White Noice/Black Silence shirt]


..and more

 

[Dmanx Pit]

I want a Dark Tranquillity hoodie... Micheal was wearing one when I met them earliy in the day in Philly from their Ja[panese tour that had just the DT logo in the front and some dates on the back. I'd wear one of those all the time.

And as for lyric quotes, Mine would probably be all from Skydancer (In my opinion, their best lyrics), but from DD, probably: "What of the times in exile, what of the hours past?"

 

[Wanderingblade]

for damage done as an album... "What can you tell me of the inside/is it as bright as call see?"

by song...

Final Resistance:
"I see the bearings of disaster"

Hours passed in Exile:
"You can never tell me I'm wrong
a song I've heard so long"
that or the last verse... or anything really.

Monochromatic Stains:
"The body, the face all items in place
I can't remember a thing"

Single Part of Two
"But of love we are frightened stiff"
or
"I never thought you would
but always knew you could"

The treason wall
On front: "I raise my hand against it all"
on back: "Let me nail you to the treason wall/stab the night and the day from your sight/and set the thought to flame"

Format C: For Cortex
Front: "Something has got to give/these things I just don't want you to..."
Back: "In time all your questions will be answered/not what you hoped for/not what you dreamed/all preconceptions crumble"

Damage Done:
"Can't take this glacial pace/the damage done"

Cathode Ray Sunshine
"Focal degradation/bring the chaos into light/Cathode Ray Sunshine/Burn"

The Enemy:
Front: "Caught on the downslopes of life"
Back: "The patted shoulder remembers/the elbowed side resists"

I, Deception:
Front: "Fallen I'll see you inside"
Back: "Fallen I cling to deception/this talk of madness is in me/come now as the drapery falls"

White Noise/Black Silence:
Pretty much all of it... standout however, is "The nail that never sticks"

The Poison Well:
Front: "The poison well/run dry"
Back: "No flesh to restrain you/no heart to forgive you"

Being a student I just recently paid 60€ for the Japanese DD and Haven to have two songs.
