The final Character lyrics thread..

Hysteria is the correct one. why do you use google? don't you have any translation engine for swedish<->english?
i use dict.leo.org for german<->english
 
no i didnt use a dictionary, i checked if anyone had used it on the web. :) Not everything is in the dictionary.. English speaking people please, is that a make-believe word?

and thanks for the input on Dry Run, it makes sense with The blazing highs. Sounds like it's about drug abuse or similar.
 
i posted the lyrics link on irc in the #dark-tranquillity fan channel (Quakenet) and one of the users noticed that in Am I 1? it's "Yeah, you better check if it's me in that coffin of yours" and I think that's very right. so add this please :)
 
Nooooo!

I thought Dry Run contains something like "the cradle was dry" - now I read some shit about "adrenalin"! :yow:

The whole song became boring to me :cry:
 
@Kov: Yeah, classic example of Swenglish/Svengelska. (I'ts rikedom in Swedish.. :p) I changed it to ritual, not sure if that's correct.

@MorbidEnemy: Yeah, I integrated those parts you changed. Thanks!

@Cortexon: :lol: Poor Cortexon.. :(

Just an idea, grab them all and work on your own copy, in case this should be lost or something.
 
Might want to change up The New Build - I know now I got some of them wrong:

What you enforce
Once stronger than logical
Beyond the focus
With the grander ideas
One microcosmos
In this wretched piece of hell
Distant memories of what empathy we felt

No revolution
No revolution
In what they must overthrow
It's not a secret we have known //Not 'Another secret we all knew'?
The need that is our enemy

Chorus:
I don't ever want to see you
Doing all the same things as me
Don't ever let this be you
Knowing what it is that drives me!

It's all in the future
What's said with one foot in the grave
It's all in the plan
Well what we never could achieve

No satisfaction - no satisfaction
We excuse ourselves from progress
By <those wondering> the motives
Our story said too much

Another beat that drives the impulse
Another tune that carries through
Another soul that rattles empty //I really like this version :) TFH's, right?
Is one reality too few

Were we just never wider
Another drop of what we grasp…
DOWN

Oh a vicious curse
What law that we forsake inside
A conflict
And the one against the wiser
None the wiser

Our space invaded! //TFH again, I think had it right

Selfish, they begin to cover
The sentences of utopia
One to escape the arguments
Put another filter on

Chorus

this morning while riding to school i think i got the first verse of Senses Tied correct:
Riddled by the tropics
What was that makes the edges burn
Here on the outskirts - the prosperity - the pride //I know it doesn't sound like it, but i think it makes sense together with "outskirts" and "pride"
Stretched as far as one can reach
But I learned (to) defy your meaning // he sings But I learned, but grammatically there must be a "to", but he doesn't sing it
There's something out there, lost beyond your power lines
 
Great! :) What about these lines?

The <..> of our conditioning

I can't even stand and told to fabricate - A denial on display // It's not accurate, but ..

Thinking about what ..
We touch the very..
When nears that hear no end to which // HMM. The sounds are like that.. does it help anyone?

It passes on, from wicked mouth, as vision takes another run // I think the first are correct
New bound oppressor - What<teachers?> brought down now stand tall // teachers? lol. and is it bold, found or bound?
 
The <..> of our conditioning
i hear something like "The hands of our conditiong" but "ends" would make more sense. i suppose it's "ends" :>

"The senses punish here" <- that doesn't sound to me like this, but i don't know what it is else.

"I can't even stand and told to fabricate" doesn't sound like "told to fabricate" to me, but don't know what it is else.
and i think it really is "litmus", but dunno if it fits well into the song :D

i can't really help here. i can only doubt some things...

my negation:
first line: "...leaking ego crave"

at the end:
end of forces (i don't think that's right, but it must be pretty close)
end of grace
 
I think My Negation is (metaphorically) about a building so:

The art of reduction
Stripped down to - What seems defendable
Scale to bare revisions
Learn to stop making sense
<Ravelling> pillars - Of towering fear // It could be .. avelling and the pillars would be ravelled. ( To tangle or complicate. )

Rational instincts - And insight to spare

With the forces
End of grace

would make sense.. first strip a building.. and the forces are in it makes it ugly. :p
 
Here's my shot for some of the lyrics:

The New Build
....
Whatever beat that drives the impulse
Whatever tune it carries through
my(?) fierce soul, it rattles empty
It's one reality too few
....


Am I 1?
....
The mind is hard to please
<...> // I can't agree with the "surrendering with ease", neither can I propose an alternate (for now)

Words clenched in fists of rage
Can't feel the frustration
There's a part of me that cannot deal
with the character I am forced to be

It's a thinly failed plan
To lay a world afoot
Lost in community
Light in belonging
....


Lost To Apathy
....
The heartstrings hold off with despair - Fail to resonate //arteries or heartstrings
Frailness of our body-wrecks - Will disintegrate //frailness or (the) frailest
....

Had to try... :)
What do you think?
