The final Character lyrics thread..

[Lost To Apathy]

1~ THE NEW BUILD

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
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

Whatever beat that drives the impulse
Whatever tune it carries through
<My(?)> fierce soul, it rattles empty
It's 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!

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

Chorus

 

[Lost To Apathy]

2 ~ THROUGH SMUDGED LENSES

Let no one be their selves
Turn off the century lights
Now within the others
Turn off the watchful eye
The brightest is the night

Shelter for the shatter
In unison we strive

Dare to disassociate
That cuts the pass of time
What actual life's matter
The ends that fast unfold
Will the hour of meeting
Let silence speak the truth

I want to hear you scream
I want to see you…(scream/die)

Stand and cut the barriers
A feature and a failure
Thirsting for a higher place
Marking different strokes
What weak reflection
It tears your soul apart….
No selection
It tears our world apart

These walls are protecting us
Burn them to the ground
This haven of refuge
Burn it to the ground

So smudge your lense a little
What matter the void
Face down the sound of wild
And let it go

Sentences of choice
Is what I want of your design
???? your devices
We stumble on
I want to hear you scream, I want to hear you scream

Burn it to the ground
No final word to save you
Burn it to the ground

Take me to the gate
Where bear the darkest void
Thousands for the agony
Where silence speaks alone

To rely on static
With ???? dark

How else can we move on?
I want to hear you scream, I want to see you die!

 

[Lost To Apathy]

3~ OUT OF NOTHING

Make enemies of truth and reason
In that a rage is born
Start out the promise and adventure
When the <ritual> was never the goal

Chorus:
How does it feel, to run out of nothing?
Where do you go, when you run out?

Never you mind, the grand perspective
Your outer forces, kept at bay
Washing out of the field of vision
To retain a sense of control
Your focus will remain unfixed
In the haze of a world unhinged

Create a sense of purpose
Around which you base your faith
The doubt that haunts your skin
An itch that will linger on
Forever

Chorus

You wade forth, critique as an offender
But never question, where your motives lie
As a part of the greatest fable
The beast so long forgotten
Is this in a deadened rampage
Destruction as a saving grace
RAAGGH!!!

You run out of nothing

Chorus

 

[Lost To Apathy]

4 ~ THE ENDLESS FEED

You try to hide the fact that you're from yourself
Your own feeble entertainer
Is none other than the one we call you
And you need the others to fortify your disgust
For the worst of us, to the rest of us
No!!
Chorus:
Entertain the thought that we are still alive
Entertain the notion of impending doom
Entertain the worst suspicions and our fears
Just pull us in and take us down

I hear a mighty cheer
Your fate can not be any stronger
Re-read, the stage is set
A product of what will be fed
Oblivious, all by design
Non susceptible to any mind
Chorus

I can take what's being given
I can down whatever comes
I will do what you deem necessary
My fear compels me!

No more fictitious names
I will not be made a mockery
No more chaos seed
I am not what you're supposed to see
No!!

With all the signs of the danger
Everything is lost
You're the name of entertainment
We're all doomed

Chorus

 

[Lost To Apathy]

5~ LOST TO APATHY

The heartstrings hold off with despair - Fail to resonate
Frailness of our body breaks - Will disintegrate

NO!

By <locks our filthy states>
Failure to communicate
None too <secular/sentient>
Where no see no virtuous magic
Against the motions

I go inside as the trials will end
Filter the nonsense and laugh at what's left
Indecision - beyond vision
What matters taken away
Chorus:
Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak,
Soon (Now) the battle is over,
Lost to apathy

So overcome with pointless tears
To retest pain receptors
Nothing matters ever here
Put up another reaction

These eyes will never see
Covered up from reality
Chorus

The unknown world that you deny
No priority - Cannot fail if you never start
Unpredictable

I want to know - Where did it end?
For madness to start
Always the skeptic and never the part

The end <of virtue>, non-descriptive
It matters not
Chorus

 

[Lost To Apathy]

6~ MIND MATTERS

You are all that matters
In my private demonology

Those who fail us now
The sons of wishes
The bastard child of dream
Enemies of hope
Let it be gone - it's all pretend
Mind matters, matters not.

Never. Again. In perfect clarity.
We'll see the day with child-like vision.
It doesn't leave a-
We're all without guidance
The old disaster
All matter without import
Our search is wider

RAGH

Cast off the white and wholesome dreams
Mind matters, matters not
YEAAGH.
No need to see you there
The path we made is clear
Just stay ahead of me
This is not safe for me to see

Mind Matters, matters not.
This time, I'll bring you up to nothing
Project again, direct the pose to action

All across the board
Judge comings close to call
Let it be gone
It's all pretend
Mind. Matters. Matters. Not.

 

[Lost To Apathy]

7~ ONE THOUGHT

Insufficient facts
Make up for a free foundation
I'm bringing the obscene
Form the opinion
Uncustomized

<Things ... substance for your part ... how... wrong>
Let him <decide it/desire>
Let him <decide it/desire> who will take the blame
Another soul to drain
What is it that we see? x2

Chorus:
One thought bringing it down
Original sinners
One thought bringing it down
Switch it off

How's it come to this?
Enjoying things by proxy
Live through others
Die just like the rest
We all end up screaming
A little louder
To cover up another piece of silence
You scream a little louder!
<Fortunate... to me>
Turn it off!

Chorus

Brace for impact!

Towards a greater vision
When life will stand to fall

Tyranny of fear
A stranglehold on us
Stronger day by day
It's time to turn it off

Chorus

 

[Lost To Apathy]

8~ DRY RUN

It comes from all we're giving
In seemingly endless supply
Our signals crossed defiantly
Into this volatile mix we guard

You stop and I repeat
The error of character, grounds
<weakness> are a part of the deeds that take you
Run back down, no!

You were .. one's that see
Misgivings in historic nightlight
Fill in the blanks

That one will fall
To the hearts of others

Chorus:
NO!
There is nothing left!
A mere shadow, when adrenalin runs dry
NO!
There is nothing there, an empty prop
When adrenalin runs dry

It gets you deep down - NO! NO!

Yes they told you about the blazing heights
The space from which the world is viewed
Where's the mirror, that shatters the image?

The crypt<ic?> careful hiding, retreat from another attack
Painlessly forgiving, a refuge indeceptive back

It works within the system, and they wont understand
When it is a lone deceiver, will fool you ..

NO! NO! NO!
Torn to waste .. and it's all about nothing
We want to scream within the span of attention
Brought to grow
Let the chaos pass
That one will fail
I hear screams in terrors, I hear screams in terrors
Chorus

 

[Lost To Apathy]

9~ AM I 1?

I grant to you -
No privilege of person
No sense of self
A denial of choice
It wants out

So from all the little bits and pieces
A simple case of lost and found

A wicked new beginning
I don't ever want to see

It's the oldest trick in the book
Just like everything you always knew
Torn apart its very end
There's nothing left to be

I can't have a mind to say
All the things that bother me today
Yeah you better check if it's me, in that coffin of yours
I'm just the one
The one you thought you knew
Chorus:
I am one?
Who am I?
No character to be lost inside

The mind is hard to please
Surrendering with ease
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

Is there really nothing more than this?
All the emptiness remains
So pull up your preface
And take your place again
Chorus

 

[Lost To Apathy]

10~ SENSES TIED

Riddled by the tropics
What was that makes the edges burn
Here on the outskirts - the prosperity - the pride
Stretched as far as one can reach
But I learned (to) defy your meaning
There's something out there, lost beyond your power lines

It's all the same to me - it's all the same to me
Lost all faith in promises, and deadline closing in
Tired of deciphering, the wayward strands of truth
Chorus:
I don't care - Cause I can't feel!
I don't know - Anymore!

What ..
Which fouled ... and letter
But within it's very nature,
The ability to distort

There's nothing in the words I hear
That makes me want to take a stand
... and show it is a cage
It's all the same to me - It's all the same to me.

The <..> of our conditioning
This world - <take it, like it>
Rather keep me in the dark than look me in the eye and LIE!

Chorus

Chorus (2):
It's all the same thing pulling us down
The senses punish here
It's all the same things making us blind
There's nothing here for me

Hear it coming? Waiting for you now.

I can't even stand and told to fabricate - A denial on display
Make you a <litmus> - left for dead
Thinking about what ..
We touch the very..
When nears that hear no end to which

Unwilling or unable, the difference left for .. judgement

It's all the same to me, it's all the same to me

It passes on, from wicked mouth, as vision takes another run
New bound oppressor - What<teachers?> brought down now stand tall

Chorus

Chorus (2)

 

[Lost To Apathy]

11~ MY NEGATION

It's all in <leaking> ego crave
The sun can never set
Why do threat of anger never linger?
Why does the ember turn to stone?
To where the longing goes
In with the sense of old

A face of nothing can never see
As blind as free
Everything you want - Is in the end of this
Everything I need - Will be at the end of me
Chorus:
My negation
(How) will you know my name?
You sense the danger coming
My negation
(How) can you see my face?
What's to become of me?

The art of reduction
Stripped down to - What seems defendable
Scale to bare revisions
Learn to stop making sense
Ravelling pillars - Of towering fear
Rational instincts - And insight to spare

With the forces
End of grace

Everything I fear - Is in this failing
Not the end - Of what I am
Is in this end
Chorus

(How) will you know my name?

 

[Lost To Apathy]

Feel free to delete this thread, but now you have them all pretty much.

also:

Through Smudged Lenses:

Stand and cut the barriers
A feature and a failure

I think it sounds more like:

Stand and top the canyon
A vision and your failure

.....

Take me to the keep
Where bear the darkest void
Thousands for the agony
Where silence speaks alone

Out of Nothing:

As a part of the greatest fable
The beast aread forgotten

Lost to apathy:

By locks our filthy states // Is a winnar I think

....

Ongoing choice as the trials will end
Filter the nonsense and laugh at what's left
Indecision - Wrong division
....

I want to know - Where did it end?
For madness to start
Always the skeptic and never the part
Indefective, non-descriptive // It's NOT The end of virtue
It matters not

One Thought:

Insufficient facts
Make up for a free foundation
I'm bringing the obscene
Form the opinion
Uncustomized

Sticks are numb, that substance void of purpose - we, were we wrong

....

To cover up another piece of silence
You scream a little louder!
Fortune has run to me
Turn it off!

Senses Tied:

I can't even stand and tone a fabricate - A denial on display // I cant think of anything better..

 

[KryptoN]

I'm hearing very clearly "body-wrecks" in lost to apathy instead of the "body breaks". It also makes more sense to me as it continues with "will disintegrate".

 

[Lost To Apathy]

Ok.. what do you think about the lyrics overall? Most songs look pretty good now, maybe not senses tied.. I'll keep fixing it. Let people now that the lyrics are online.

 

[Blitzkrieg Pajo]

this morning i figured something new out at Senses Tied while listening. but i forgot
the only thing i could mention now is that it sounds like "The hands of our conditioning".
ah no i meant in through smudged lenses
i don't hear "what matter the void"
but cannot tell what it could be else :/

 

[Blitzkrieg Pajo]

i got a funny thing about senses tied...
i hear it like this:
"What shall we...
with vowels, nouns and letters" dunno if it fits in the song, but that's the way it sounds for me.

 

[DeepInMisery]

That helped me figure out the rest:

What's sure we better conjure up
With wovels, nouns and letters
But within it's very nature,
The ability to distort

 

[Irza]

Through Smudged Lenses:
Stand ontop the canyon (makes more sense to me)
A vision and your failure
Thirsting for a higher place
Marking different strokes
What weak reflection
It tears your soul apart….
No selection
It tears our world apart

 

[Delirious]

(i've translated it, so don't count on it being 100% accurate, but here's) brief song meanings according to stanne in the latest issue of close-up magazine;

the new build - about re-building yourself and trying to find a new kind of sensation/feeling.
through smudged lenses - how you can soften in your view on the world and think that it's ok after all, if only you peer and cover your ears.
out of nothing - the feeling of emptiness, exhaustion and irritation.
the endless feed - the endless news flow.
mind matters - the more smart and eloquent you are, the less people listen overall/to the entirety. (if anyone has a better way to translate "i det stora hela", please post it.)
one thought - about shutting off your surroundings.
dry run - about tiredness and how to regain the zeal/spark.
am i 1? - about how to find your own identity and not just imitate cool people from tv or in metal mags.
senses tied - about the relief in shutting away your senses.
my negation - how [stanne] wants to avoid transfering all his bad sides to his soon-to-be one year old daughter.

 

[Blitzkrieg Pajo]

the lyrics seem to get very personal? was this always in DT lyrics? i never really cared about lyrics of any kind of music i listen to. but i like the new lyrics and somehow i can identify myself with them.
