Prendre le temps…

Après une petite dérive kitsch, je reviens aux musiques actuelles et que j’apprécie vraiment.

Ticœur m’a fait écouter hier le nouvel album d’Epica, un groupe que nous affectionnons tous les deux et que nous sommes déjà allés voir plusieurs fois en concert.

Une jolie rousse chanteuse lyrique accompagnée de musiciens plus chevelus les uns que les autres et vous obtenez Epica, un groupe de métal symphonique néerlandais. Ils sont fort ces néerlandais dans ce domaine !

Leur nouvel album est sympa, sauf quelques chansons assez « étranges », assez différentes de ce qu’ils font d’ordinaire.

Allez… en voiture Simone ! (c’est le prénom de la chanteuse !)

Storm the sorrow – Epica

Along the way I find myself
To be confined within me
No place for any other’s mind to interfere

To grasp the meaning of it all
To overcome my limits
And dance away from any void and empty tones

Just tell me why
Just tell me how
I can survive this time

Believe yourself and look away
From all that’s rife within you
Leave all your worries at the door
And drift away

I’ve tried to peer into the core
But could not storm the sorrow
My hollow heart has bled me dry, led me to stray

Another time
Without a trace
Condemn me now
Send me to heaven
For I’m already failing

Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in

In my memories I’ll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed

No time should ever go to waste
It’s not that complicated
You’re free to live your life at ease
No more restraints

No heed for shadows on your way
That try to steal your laughter
Your light will drive them all away
Be confident

Will I refrain?
Can I repent?
Will you be there?
Erase the page
For I’m alone and ailing

Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in

In my memories I’ll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears
When someone had betrayed

Go
This is my life and you can’t break me down
Go
I will decide who can come in and heal my disease
Burn it in flames
Kill it and maim
Why can’t you see that you need to be freed?

Intertwine the lines beneath the dark
Every bit of pain we’re feeling
Every other solemn life
In the memories you will find somehow
They used to be a dream unending
No more need to be alone

Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in
In my memories I’ll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
Someone had betrayed
