It’s just another day of my life
In the high res next gen wonderland
I curse the sun
Getting out of bed
I hope my sell-by date
Didn’t expire yesterday
The torture porn on the red roy disc
A sweet kiss of liquid modernity
We have no time for your mistakes

Accept "Here, you have to run as fast as you can to stay in the same place."
You’re too blurry my friend
You’re too slow
You’re too predictable
Too below
This is all I can hear in my mind
When I try to believe
I’ll stand the pace of this run
Breathe in
Breathe out
It’s just another day of my life

2.Driven To Destruction
I don’t know where to begin
Feel a cleaving in my mind
I can’t get my act together
Buzz in my head is too loud
I know something’s wrong with me
It’s starting to burn out my soul
But I feel so weird in here
When you just sit, listen and nod
All my life
I’ve been trying to deny and deceive myself
Sense of Insecurity
Restlessness
The turning out
Hatred for my inner chaos
And the color of your couch
I’ve just had this trouble all my life
Of getting out what is inside
Now I run
But cannot hide
No matter how much I do for them
No matter how much I do for myself
No matter which way I look at it
Fulfillment passes me by
Distracted inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way
Impatient inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way
Distracted inner self
I’m tuning out
Impatient inner self
I’m spacing out
Distracted inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way
3.Egoist Hedonist
I. Different?
Once in the middle of the crowd
I stopped
Suddenly I felt so good
Not being on the move
But became an obstruction
In your way
And I was surprised
How fast you could unite
Against me
When you forced me to the ground
And tied my hands
Certain I couldn’t disturb
Anymore
I saw the sadness in your eyes
Your fear
And the most secret desire:
“Escape from here”...
In pursuit of uniqueness
And individuality
We must be unlike anyone else
To survive
But in the mass of different runners
Different lies
We can’t make time to realize
How the same we are
II. Hedonist Party
So let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Because I want to feel so...
It’s not right
It’s not fair
When I am forced to live your life
It’s not right
It’s not fair
When I am forced to live your life
It’s not right
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without
III. Straw Man Dance
Congrats
This time you’re a borderline pass
Here’s your reward
Now smile
After all
You conform to us
Drag on
Forget yourself in the final dance
You already know the steps
4.Left Out
Huddled in the corner
Disillusioned
My lifeless stare is fixed
On your silhouettes
You’re disregarding me
Passing me by
Like I’m not even here
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’m somewhere else
I used to be one of you
With the same spark in my eyes
And now I don’t belong to this place
It’s a matter of merciless time
I wholly vanish
The candle guttered out
The beauty elapsed
Could’ve been so wonderful
***
One day we could’ve met
And believed
We might live that way
Far away from the din
Envious looks
And chase for the prize
We would have remained ourselves
Without killing our feelings
Slowly
Day by day
One day we could’ve won
Without taking away
Someone else’s pride
We would have become strong
Walking through our life side by side
We could’ve missed another day
Not knowing how to talk
Where to go
We could’ve missed another night
Only... For what?
The dream went away
And you came
With your dark hair loose
Ruthless cold reality
Oh, how I hate your truth
Don’t turn your back this time
Just look at my eyes
I won’t break down
I’m going to fight
5.Hybrid Times
Hybrid Times
Come to me now
I will host you
I’m the alchemist of our times
I know exactly what you need
You’ve climbed so high
You‘ve gone so far
So you deserve something special
Come to me now
I will cure your soul
I’m the savior of our times
I know exactly what it needs
You’ve let yourself go
You’ve felt so down
So my hi-tech salvation is just for you Obsession Obsession Obsession
To be the best
The most beautiful
And above everyone
Not allow oneself to be left behind
Know what is what and what is out
Aim for excellence
And perfection you can only dream about
Before my fame evaporates
I must be at the top
So I control my body
Mental state
Unable to slow down
Before the final dusk appears
I must do more than this
It’s the only way to make it through
In these hyperactive times
It’s my obsession!
Obsession...
Obsession...
Obsession...
Doggedly
At any cost
Obstinately
More and more
Can’t allow myself to stop
The ice broke
I’ll never give up
Again...
Again...
Again...
***
Hi, it has been a while since last time
I was certain I could live without
All those private talks I couldn’t stand
But now
The truth is
You’re the best friend I have...
A la hora de determinar la fecha de nacimiento de este grupo no hay ninguna duda: 1987
A la hora de ubicar su procedencia tampoco: Hemel Hempstead, Reino Unido
Pero a la hora de catalogar su música no lo tenemos tan fácil, aunque se la declare como una banda de rock progresivo, se dice que su música tiene influencias trance y ambient, y ultimamente evoluciona hace el metal progresivo.
Anesthetize (mayo, 2010) da título a un DVD grabado en vivo en octubre de 2008 en Holanda. Su lanzamiento y distribución, únicamente por vía internet, dedicó los fondos recaudados para el tratamiento contra el cáncer sufrido por Mick Karn (quién finalmente falleció en enero de este año).

Amén de otros muchos músicos invitados.
El tema que os propongo escuchar 'Anesthetize' incluido en el DVD/Blu-Ray Disc, tiene una duración de 17:20, de ahí que el archivo esté partido en Youtube.
Ponte cómodo y disfruta.
A good impression of myself
Not much to conceal
I'm saying nothing
But I'm saying nothing revealed
I simply am not here
No way I should appear happy
Stop whining please
Because of who we are
We react in mock surprise
The curse off, there must be more
So don't breathe here
Don't leave your bags
I simply am not here
No way I should appear happy
Stop whining please
The dust in my soul
Makes me feel awake in my legs
My head in the clouds
And I'm zoning out
I'm watching TV
But I find it hard to stay conscious
I'm totally bored
But I can't switch off
Only apathy from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Only eMpTV, cult philosophy
We're lost in the mall
Shuffling through the stores like zombies
What is the point
What can money buy
My hand's on a gun
And I find the range, God, tempt me
What did you say
Think I'm passing out
Only apathy from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Only eMpTV, cult philosophy
All the apathy from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Electricity from the pills in me
Its all in me, all in you
Water so warm that day (water so warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted out the waves)
As they broke into
The water so warm that day
I was counting out the waves
And I followed their short life
As they broke on the shoreline
I could see you
But I couldn't hear you
You were holding your hat in the breeze
Turning away from me in this moment
You were stolen as black across the sun
Water so warm that day (water so warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted out the waves)
As they broke into shore (as they broke into shore)
Al cruzar palabras estos días con Elizabetta no he podido dejar de acordarme de su tocaya literaria y protagonista de una de las historias de amor más desgarradora de todos los tiempos.
Quién se haya acercado a las páginas de Stoker conocerá de primera mano la esencia de Drácula y no dejará de conmoverse por el motivo que justifica su razón de ser: 'el amor'.
Un amor trágicamente perdido como consecuencia directa de una matanza indiscriminada en nombre de Dios. Una matanza que retomará a través de los tiempos, contraviniendo las leyes de ese mismo Dios, con la única y exclusiva finalidad de reunirse en vida con su amada.
Me he acercado a esta historia como muchos de vosotros a través del séptimo arte. Un arte que, si bien hizo un gran daño al personaje, consiguió al tiempo perpetuarlo en nuestra memoria. ¡Cuántas pesadillas infantiles le deberé! Ver a aquel vampiro que únicamente la estaca en el corazón era capaz de aniquilar. Un vampiro seductor de inocentes doncellas que morían irremediablemente por sucumbir a sus siniestros encantos. Cuántas veces no habré echado de menos tener una cabeza de ajos en mi mesilla que me salvara 'en caso de que...'
Menos mal que llegó Coppola y le hizo justicia; menos mal que Oldman y Winnona consiguieron unas interpretaciones irreprochables; con unos secundarios de lujo; una ambientación y atmósfera insuperable; y un tema musical que consigue retrasmitir una melancolía infinita. Y menos mal que está ahí la obra original, alcance de nuestra mano, para trasladarnos a un espacio atemporal donde el amor lo justifica todo por encima de Dios y el Mundo.
It was 9-29,9-29 back street big city.
The sun was going' down,there was music all around
It felt so right.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
you feel the world stop turnin',you were standing
There,there was music in the air.I should have been
Away,but I knew I'd have to stay.
CHORUS
Last train to London,just headin' out,
Last train to London,just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight.
It was one of those nights,one of those nights when
You feel the fire is burnin',everybody was there,
Everybody to share,it felt so right.
There you were on your own,lookin' like you were
The only one around,I had to be with you,
Nothin' else that I could do,
I should have been away,but I knew I'd have to say.
Chorus
Underneath a starry sky,time was still but hours
Must really have rushed by,I didn't realize
But love was in your eyes I really should have
Gone,but love went on and on...
No duerme nadie por el cielo. Nadie, nadie.
No duerme nadie.
Las criaturas de la luna huelen y rondan sus cabañas.
Vendrán las iguanas vivas a morder a los hombres que no sueñan
y el que huye con el corazón roto encontrará por las esquinas
al increíble cocodrilo quieto bajo la tierna protesta de los astros.
No duerme nadie por el mundo. Nadie, nadie.
No duerme nadie.
Hay un muerto en el cementerio más lejano
que se queja tres años
porque tiene un paisaje seco en la rodilla;
y el niño que enterraron esta mañana lloraba tanto
que hubo necesidad de llamar a los perros para que callase.
No es sueño la vida. ¡Alerta! ¡Alerta! ¡Alerta!
Nos caemos por las escaleras para comer la tierra húmeda
o subimos al filo de la nieve con el coro de las dalias muertas.
Pero no hay olvido, ni sueño:
carne viva. Los besos atan las bocas
en una maraña de venas recientes
y al que le duele su dolor le dolerá sin descanso
y al que teme la muerte la llevará sobre sus hombros.
Un día
los caballos vivirán en las tabernas
y las hormigas furiosas
atacarán los cielos amarillos que se refugian en los ojos de las vacas.
Otro día
veremos la resurrección de las mariposas disecadas
y aún andando por un paisaje de esponjas grises y barcos mudos
veremos brillar nuestro anillo y manar rosas de nuestra lengua.
¡Alerta! ¡Alerta! ¡Alerta!
A los que guardan todavía huellas de zarpa y aguacero,
a aquel muchacho que llora porque no sabe la invención del puente
o a aquel muerto que ya no tiene más que la cabeza y un zapato,
hay que llevarlos al muro donde iguanas y sierpes esperan,
donde espera la dentadura del oso,
donde espera la mano momificada del niño
y la piel del camello se eriza con un violento escalofrío azul.
No duerme nadie por el cielo. Nadie, nadie.
No duerme nadie.
Pero si alguien cierra los ojos,
¡azotadlo, hijos míos, azotadlo!
Haya un panorama de ojos abiertos
y amargas llagas encendidas.
No duerme nadie por el mundo. Nadie, nadie.
Ya lo he dicho.
No duerme nadie.
Pero si alguien tiene por la noche exceso de musgo en las sienes,
abrid los escotillones para que vea bajo la luna
las copas falsas, el veneno y la calavera de los teatros.
Trago um fado no meu canto
Canto a noite até ser dia
Do meu povo trago pranto
No meu canto a Mouraria
Tenho saudades de mim
Do meu amor, mais amado
Eu canto um país sem fim
O mar, a terra, o meu fado
Meu fado, meu fado, meu fado, meu fado
De mim só me falto eu
Senhora da minha vida
Do sonho, digo que é meu
E dou por mim já nascida
Trago um fado no meu canto
Na minh'alma vem guardado
Vem por dentro do meu espanto
A procura do meu fado
Meu fado, meu fado, meu fado, meu fado
