Ayreon Lyrics For Dummies

I’m about to show you how complex Lucassen thinks.

Here are the lyrics of Age of Shadows from the album 01001011

[Tom Englund:]
We never saw this coming
Pride comes before a fall
We never heeded the warnings
Buried deep within us all

[Chorus:]
[Steve Lee:] The age of shadows has begun
[Daniel Gindelow:] Giant machines blot out the sun
[Steve Lee:] Frozen minds becoming numb
[Daniel Gindelow:] The age of shadows has begun
[Steve Lee:] The age of Shadows has begun
[Daniel Gindelow:] I won’t accept what we’ve become
[Steve Lee:] We stand to lose more than we’ve won
[Daniel Gindelow:] The age of Shadows has begun

[Tom Englund:]
Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
Our urge to change and grow
Our need to expand the nation
Made us rise from the depths below

[Chorus]

[Hansi Kursch:] No more aggression
[Floor Jansen:] No more initiative
[Hansi Kursch:] No more suppression
[Floor Jansen:] No more emotions
[Hansi Kursch:] No more resection
[Floor Jansen:] No more of all the feelings that shaped our hearts and made us who we are
[Hansi Kursch:] No more possessions
[Floor Jansen:] No more suspicious
[Hansi Kursch:] No more obsessions
[Floor Jansen:] No more sensations
[Hansi Kursch:] No more depression
[Floor Jansen:] No more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are

[Jonas Renkse:]
Time (time, time) but a passageway (a passageway, a passageway)
The beginning of the end (of the end)
An end that never was (was, was, was)
Time (time, time) but a curve in space (curve in space, curve in)

We are forever (we are forever, we are forever) eternal prisoners in time (in time, in time)
We are forever (we are forever) caught in our cold inertia

Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one…

[Anekke van Giersberg:]
Forever we yearn, forever we learn
Forever we live a lie, forever sleeping by and
Forever we flee (forever we flee), forever we will be,
Forever is but a dream, forever is but a scream and
Forever we try, forever we die,

The spell of love wore off
The zest for life not enough

Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one

Never enough

There is a pretty crazy and deep story there. And it’s written very simply and clearly. But in addition to that “the ASCII code for the letter Y. 01011001′s plot is tied to the “Planet Y” and “Forever of the Stars” storyline developed in the albums Into the Electric Castle, Universal Migrator and The Human Equation.” (wiki/01011001) So that’s how much connected and complete Ayreon’s albums are. A last proof that Lucassen is totally a genius;

the ASCII presentation of

Zero (one) one (zero) one (zero) zero (zero)
zero (one) one (zero) zero (one) zero (one)
zero (one) one (zero) one (one) zero (zero)
zero (one) one (one) zero (zero) zero (zero)

Seriously what normal person would write a song in ASCII code? Like I’ve said many times before: Arjen Anthony Lucassen = Bethoven’s musical talent + Shakespear’s writing talent + Stanly Kubrick’s futuristiv imagination. I have nothing more to say.

Lust

A very good characterization of Lust from Full Metal Alchemist.

And this is Nicole Kidman’s character Alice from Eyes Wide Shut smoking and telling a story to her husband how powerful Lust can get sometimes:

ALICE

Well, last summer at Cape Cod – I

don’t suppose you remember one night

in the dining room, there was a young

Naval officer sitting near us. He was

with two other officers.

BILL

As a matter of fact, I don’t But what

about him?

ALICE

The waiter brought him a message

during dinner, at which point he left

the table?

Well…I first saw him that morning in

the lobby. He was checking in and he

was following the bellboy with his

luggage to the elevator.

He glanced at me as he walked past

but didn’t stop until he had gone a few

more steps. Then he turned and

looked at me.

He didn’t say anything. He didn’t smile.

In fact, it seemed to me that he

scowled. Maybe I did the same thing.

I was very stirred by him. That whole

day I lay on the beach, lost in dreams.

BILL

Go on.

ALICE

That afternoon you and I made love

and talked about our future, and our

child.

Later we were sitting on the balcony

and he passed below us without

looking up.

Just the sight of him stirred me deeply

and I thought if he wanted me, I could

not have resisted. I thought I was

ready to give up you,

the child, my whole future.

And yet at the same time – if you can

understand it – you were dearer to me

than ever, and I stroked your forehead

and kissed your hair, and at that

moment my love for you was both

tender and sad.

At dinner I wore a white rose and you

said I was very beautiful. It might not

have been just an accident that he and

his friends sat near us.

He didn’t look up but I actually

considered getting up, walking over to

him and like someone in a movie,

saying, ‘Here I am, my love, for whom

I have waited – take me.’

Well, it was about then that the waiter

brought him the envelope. He read it,

turned pale, said goodbye to his friends

– and glancing at me mysteriously, he

left the room.

ALICE

I barely slept that night and woke up

the next morning very agitated. I didn’t

know whether I was afraid that he had

left or that he might still be there… But

by dinner I realised he was gone and I

breathed a sigh of relief.

BILL

And if he hadn’t left?

ALICE

I don’t know.

I love this movie. And I love Nicole Kidman in it!!Source of the Dialogue

Day Twelve: Trauma

[Reason]
Think hard, you are lying here in a hospital bed
Disregard the emotions inside your head
Concentrate on the real world beyond your mind
It’s not to late to leave your burdens behind

[Fear]
We won’t let you go
Take you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head…
You’re better of dead

[Agony]
Locked away, she lives in isolation
It’s been that way, since he has gone
She been through life of depravation
She depends on you, her only son

[Passion]
She won’t let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You’re better of dead

[Agony]
Where are you, can’t you hear her calling?
Nothing you can do, you have no time
There is no one there, to catch her now she’s falling
Why should you care, you are doing fine

[Passion]
She won’t let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You’re better of dead

[Reason]
Now she’s at rest, she finally found her peace
There’s no need to blame yourself
You must let go, or the pain will never cease
It’s time to crawl out of your shell

Your mother died, the day your father left
A part of you died as well
Feelings of guilt will haunt you ’til the end
You must fight hard to break this spell

But it hurts…

[Fear]
You hear her voice, from beyond her grave
“Where were you son, when I needed you
Is this your thanks for all the warmth I gave
Did you forget what I been through?”

You hear his voice, cold and merciless
“You worthless fool, you let her die!”
And deep within yourself, you must confess
Your ways cannot be justified

[Pride]
By now you realized, you have to be
relentless to survive
Repress your memories,
bury all emotions and thrive!
It’s your life!

[Reason] Now she’s at rest, she found her peace
[Fear] You hear her voice, from the grave
[Reason] You must let go or the pain won’t cease
[Fear] “Is this your thanks for all I gave”
[Reason] A part of you died as well
[Fear] “You worthless fool, you let her die”
[Reason] It’s time to crawl out of your shell
[Fear] Your ways cannot be justified

[Pride]
By now you realized, you have to be
relentless to survive
Repress your memories,
bury all emotions and thrive!
It’s your life!

Vocals: Eric Claton, Mikael Akerfeldt, Devon Graves, Irene Jansen and Magnus

If there is such a thing as “the perfect music” you can find it in Ayreon’s many songs. And this is definately one of them ! Lucassen is a mother fucking talented genius!

Day Twelve: Trauma – Ayreon

KMFDM Anarchy

You break my back
You won’t break me
All is black
But I still see
Shut me down
Knock me to the floor
Shoot me up
Fuck me like a whore

Trapped under ice
Comfortably cold
I’ve gone as low as you can go
Feel no remorse
No sense of shame
Time’s gonna wash away all pain

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy

Sacrifice to the cause
Turn your code into law
Compensate to validate the loss
Take a thief
Nail him to a cross

Gospel of rage
Faction of hate
Deviate from the absolute
Born of revenge
Raised on cement
Chaos created government

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Wake me up in anarchy

Anarchy – KMFDM

great fucking lyrics
awesome song
enjoy !

my "celebrity" crushes

one might think 25 is a little too old to have celebrity crushes…
well.. in my case… it’s a little sadder than that…
I’m 25 and my “celebrity” crushes aren’t even real people
lol that’s what you get for being a Pisces I guess..
so
here they are:

Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach
because he’s powerful, ambitious and stubborn..and I’m gonna risk sounding ridiculous and say cute too lol…
and he has a huge zanpakuto lol
you gotta admit swords are sexy

Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender series
something about his scar…evil or good. he has a certain charisma xP
besides he’s a prince

and Jacob Black from Twilight Saga (as described in the books of course)
he’s tall, dark, strong, funny, sarcastic and caring…besides he turns into a wolf ! what more would a girl need? lol

oookay I better end this none-sense here
heheh
it’s not my bad no one real is good enough for me

or maybe I should stop watching so much anime lol

peace
