Watershed booklet to contain no lyrics!

[affinityband]

Hmm, I didn't think previous releases were very cheesy. The "don't you cry" line is the epitome of cheese, for me.

i was going to go and quote at least one line in every song to prove my point but i figure theres no need too seeing as there was at least one line in each song that made me cringe. but hey, its metal so who cares about the lyrics.

Affinity, of the new songs you mean?

 

[affinityband]

of every opeth song

some examples

'Nor the emeralds know my mark' Under the weeping moon
'Cloak of autumn shroud' NATSW
'Unwritten secrets beneath the cobwebs' The amen Corner
'Piercing rage, perfect tantrum' SPD
'My firm grip round the nucleus of joy' Funeral Portrait
'Desert in my eye' masters apprentices
every line in TGC

just from whatever song i clicked on on opeth.com. cheesy as hell.

 

[Metalstrm]

Lol. I see what you mean. But by 'cheesy' I meant 'soppy'. The romantic kind of crap.

 

[affinityband]

ah ok

 

[FUBAR]

Lol. I see what you mean. But by 'cheesy' I meant 'soppy'. The romantic kind of crap.

I know what you mean. The "Rest your head now don't you cry, don't ever ask the reason why" bit, is pretty cringe worthy well it makes me cringe, but it's really not that much of a big deal.

"Best made tacos of the Earth" - The Baying of the Hounds

I never read the GR booklet, but I'm pretty sure I got it right. Cheesy as fuck. Mexican feista cheese.

"Best made tacos of the Earth" - The Baying of the Hounds

I never read the GR booklet, but I'm pretty sure I got it right. Cheesy as fuck. Mexican feista cheese.

It's actually 'Pest Ridden Tacos of the Earth'

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

Yes.

 

[wut wut]

Crap. That song always got me into the mood to eat tacos.

Now I don't wanna.

 

[ndSinister]

Amazing how much emotion this man puts into his compositions. That's exactly why I love him. He's writing from his heart. AMAZING and INSPIRING!

GENIUS!

And YOU guys should respect his wish, if that's what he wants!

 

[noura]

^music compositions right?! the most important part of opeth, to me anyway.

i'm sure the lyrics will appear on their website eventually, though i respect his wishes as they sound genuinely personal given what he said in the interview, even if the lyrics were released i think their true meaning will stay with him unless(/until?!) we know what happened that April day.

i agree the 'don't you cry, don't ever ask the reason why' makes me cringe but meh...

 

[DEMIgOD]

kind of mad about the lyrics. Supeised mike did it being quite vintage. As most old records had ephisis on lyric sheets ahwell

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

Maybe it is "liquid is in your throat for Opeth's delight"?

 

[noura]

Maybe it is "liquid is in your throat for Opeth's delight"?

I heard 'liquid is in your throat, for Opeth's the light' Opeth is our poison heheh

 

[BefriendedUnit]

Lol. I see what you mean. But by 'cheesy' I meant 'soppy'. The romantic kind of crap.

every tear i shed... is for youuuuuuu

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

ha, it must be for hopeless delight. But with not lyrics in the booklet, there will be threads about that lyric for sure.
