Jeg har en greie for Daniel Gildenlöw fra svenske Pain of Salvation. Først ut er låta Rope Ends, fra albumet Remedy Lane.

 

 

 

She is still young...

 

Another day of emptiness

This life is wearing her down

The room around her is a mess

Her children safe with her mom

 

She is still young but feeling old

Two children with different fathers

She sits on the bathroom floor alone

The shower chain broke

Her neck hurts

 

Then another night of emptiness to wear her down

Naked to the world she wraps her sadness in a gown

Her children fast asleep she sears the dark with glassy eyes

Choosing carefully among her husband's business ties

 

"Over!" she cries through rope ends and silk ties

Beautiful life escaping her young blue eyes

But life holds her hand, refusing to let go

Leaving her breathing on the floor

 

They're still asleep don't hear her cry

And she's still obsessed with rope ends

This time she picks a stronger tie

With Winnie the Pooh and friends

 

She is still young but feeling old

A child dying to be a mother

Now she hangs from the ceiling all alone

All pressure is falling from her

 

Seeing guilt has taught her guilt she's raised on disbelief

Merely twenty beautiful but with a taste for grief

She has learnt all that there is to know about hopelessness

Seeing that no effort in this world can stand her test

 

"Over!" she cries through rope ends and silk ties

Beautiful life escaping her young blue eyes

And Winnie is strong, would never let her fall

Prevents her from breathing till she's not there at all

But life holds her hands, refusing to let go

Leaving her breathing on the floor

 

[Johan Hallgren]

 

[Daniel Gildenlow]

 

Seeing guilt has taught her guilt she's raised on disbelief

Merely twenty beautiful but with a taste for grief

She has learnt all that there is to know about helplessness

Seeing that no caring in this world can ease her stress

 

Helpless she lies in rope ends and undies

Unseeing eyes fixating Eeyore's smile

"Over!" she cries as she's going unblind

Still in this life

Still in this troubled mind

The ceiling let go, the old house let her fall

Dropping her breathing to the hard cold floor

Hitting her head - a broken china soul

Red stains on porcelain and she's not there at all

 

Breathing she cries for rope ends and silk ties

Beautiful eyes Piglet stands shy behind

Broken she lies undead and unblind

Beautiful life

Beautiful crying young eyes

Blackened and bruised, learning how to see

Staring at her tooth - crimsoned ivory

Hours they pass this broken china soul

Red stains on porcelain

And she's not there at all...

 

 

Jeg tolker ikke denne så dypt, jeg leser den som ei fortvilet jente som prøver å ta sitt eget liv. Det er så sårt skrevet, så brutalt og vondt, og musikken de spiller over dette hjelper ikke akkurat på stemningen. Det er tungt, men samtidig veldig, veldig vakkert. Jeg kan høre denne så mange ganger..

 

En til. Samme band, men denne gangen heter låta In the Flesh, og er fra albumet The Perfect Element. Jeg har sakset et utdrag.

 

 

Now she bites the words

"Never"

She kicks the ground

"Never"

Swallows her tears

"Never will I go back"

She hits the walls

"Leave me!"

Scratches herself

"Leave me!"

Begs to all Gods

"Rip me from this sick flesh!"

 

"I will always be there"

"No!"

She holds her ears

"You know that I love you"

Pretends that she doesn't hear

"We're in this together"

"We share the same skin"

Panic in his voice now

"Free us from sin"

 

"Tell me that you love me"

This is the end

"I know that you do"

Of her way

Never ever again

Follow me down

 

"God forgive this hunger"

"Please mommy see"

"Never tell a soul"

"Is it me?"

A child will love its parents

Will follow them down

 

 

Kanskje jeg er litt snål som liker denne typen tekster. Ganske lett å skjønne hva dette dreier seg om også, og linjen "Please mommy see" setter spor. Mange syke mennesker i verden..

BUT PEOPLE CHANGE AND PEOPLE GROW

AND MOVE IN STEP WITH THE GREEN PAPER FLOW

AND DEEP INSIDE I WONDER OR MAYBE I ALREADY KNOW

THAT THEY NEVER REALLY FIND THE ANSWERS

 

 

 

 

alt av Mineral egentlig.

Synes teksten til coldplay - Fix you er utrolig fin.

 

 

When you try your best but you don't succeed

When you get what you want but not what you need

When you feel so tired but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

 

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

 

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try you'll never know

Just watch you're worth

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

 

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I

 

Tears stream down your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I

 

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

 

 

Har hørt på denne hver gang jeg har mistet noe som sto meg nært, Besteforeldre, hund osv. Når "When you lose something you can't replace" komda kom tårene

[UlrikBGG]

 

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air

And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves

The echo of a distant tide

Comes willowing across the sand

And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land

And no one knows the wheres or whys

But something stares and

Something tries

And starts to climb towards the light

 

Strangers passing in the street

By chance two separate glances meet

And I am you and what I see is me

And do I take you by the hand

And lead you through the land

And help me understand the best I can

And no one calls us to the land

And no one crosses there alive

And no one speaks

And no one tries

And no one flies around the sun

 

And now this is the day you fall

Upon my waking eyes

Inviting and inciting me to rise

And through the window in the wall

Comes streamin in on sunlight wings

A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies

And no one makes me close my eyes

So I throw the windows wide

 

 

Fantastisk tekst av Pink Floyd, nærmere bestemt låten Echoes fra Meddle-albumet. Jeg er spesielt glad i siste delen, som rett og slett er svært vakker poesi! Pink Floyd har generelt mange tekster som er svært gode (Waters er feks. en fantastisk låtskriver), som blant annet er politiske og selvbiografiske.
