it's funny you should bring this up Chris, Brian and I were having this conversation or a very similar one.
For me, I enjoyed Novembre's music for quite some time but once I actually read their lyrics I just couldn't listen to them any more.
and I quote:
"Bitterness blows in the heart
Like chilly draughts in the hall
Of a crystal castle
Lost among clouds made of gold
Those anxieting visions
Images behind frozen windows
Make my eyes bleed
Ebony blood
When the silvergray fluid shall crack reality's walls
Mixing with blood and filth as sirens swimming in pitch
When the sweet arcades of these desperate our owns
Trickle down upon yhe misery of this dead everyday life
Like pitch on your wings
Like a child lost in a war
Like dark paint upon a shiny picture
Like dirty sperm on a toy
And when the new star will shine of its own black
And there will be nowhere to shelter
Maybe they'll understand who we are
What we'll always cry for"
"[SOLO - Carmelo]
Speechless
Unreal
Drowning in an abyssal silence
Slowly moving through this immensity
I fly, swimming in this darkblue sky
It's cold, I'm scared and besides rust
Even ice covers these doors
[SOLO - Antonio]
God knows how I'd be awake now
God knows how my eyes would tear now
God knows how I wouldn't lose my way
God knows how scared I am
How the seagull would pass away:
[SOLO - Carmelo]
Swim seagull in the sky
[SOLO - Fabio]"
and of course my personal favorite
"Drops of slime big as pies
Stain every single day of your saint's life
Consecution of all the sin you've been put inside,
My beautiful star
Wake up together,
Together we will take the shame from you away
Wake up together,
Together we will take the shame from you away
Wake up together
Together we will take the shame,
Together we will take the shame from you
E c'era come un rumor di vetro infranto
Ed una sensazione di allegria sommaria
Noi eravamo come foglie in quell'Autunno strano
E senza capir perchè ci siam sfiorati piano
E c'era come un rumore di bambini
Noi ome gli altri senza direzione alcuna
D'un tratto quell'Autunno diventò l'Estate
Uno sconquasso, caddi e persi la tua mano"
