IN DEEP CONTEMPLATION
Buried in thoughts of a nostalgic nature
A distant memory, fading away...
Pale and weak
A fragment of time, now incomplete
Was I really there? Did this moment in time ever exist?
Searching for answers in an infinite world
Where dreams are only shattered
A black wave of depression engulfs me
I fall deeper...
The turning of a page
Falling deeper...
It’s just another phase... of existence

THE FEAR OF HAUNTING YOU AGAIN
The wounds you carry are too great
Life’s unbearable to contemplate
The fear of haunting you again
Don’t worry my love I’m more than a friend
As days go by you wish the pain away
Hoping all will be washed in the rain
Looking over your shoulder you cry
The feeling of wanting to die
Keep running from your past
I will hold forever
You keep running from your past
I will love you forever

WHEN NOSTALGIA TEARS YOU APART
Sitting, thinking of times long past
Makes the darkness blacker than before now
Everything is clearer, a revelation
Count your blessings, for one day all will be gone.
It tears you apart again
Life seemed so special back then
The memories can be comforting
The nostalgia is always haunting
Striving to regain what once was
A gaze into your beautiful eyes
Do you feel the lingering of melancholy?
It is always close and ready to hold your hand
It tears you apart again
Life seemed so special back then
The memories can be comforting
The nostalgia is always haunting
It tears you apart again
Life seemed so special back then
The memories can be comforting
The nostalgia is always haunting

A NIGHTTIME PERPLEXITY
When the enigma of darkness covers
Everything is doubtful within mind
A mere semblance of attainment
Unachievable, then dragged into oblivion
Bewildered in the solitude of night
The answers never audible or in sight
The meandering of time subdued
All conscious thoughts of dreams conclude

THE INTROSPECTION OF BEING
Meandering through life’s existence
Restless, a being lost in time
Trying to find a place of solace
In an overwhelming world of pain
Seeking a glimmer of light
The luminous splinters reveal some
A minimal encounter of contentment
A sigh with a tear in my eye
This feeling deep inside
Haunting me forever more
The turning of time
Numbing me to the core

Misapprehension

MISAPPREHENSION
Not taken seriously, not of any value
The clouds of confusion only obscures
What was that you said?
As you lie in your drowned thoughts
Repeat the words once again
Let them be mocked again
Cower in the corner while they beat you down
Why care? Why dare to be different?
A misinterpretation of life
Others cruel in order to boost their own ego
It’s hard not to succumb to misanthropy
How much of a man do you need to be?
An insignificant vessel dissipating
A mere drop in the ocean
Disappearing into nothingness...

REFLECTING THE SANDS OF TIME
Each passing day
With diminishing hope
A reflection of time
Envelopes a broader scope
The magic has died
Yet it’s harder to cry (only sigh)
Hold on to your dreams
For one day
Hold on to your dreams
For one day
They will be gone
Forever

Proceeding From a Dark Place
When I dream a dream
It’s from a safe place
When reality sets in
Proceeding from a dark place
Do I dare to dream
When dreams can be broken
Do I sit and sigh, staring at the sky
...in the night
I’m insignificant in a gigantic world
A world of hurt and lies, should I cry
Should I face my fears and continue
Continue to dream for a better future

Striborg recommends:
This Silent Distance
by Scent of Silence
Fantastic DSBM from Italy with coldwave and shoegaze influences. Basically this album sounds like a black metal version of Lycia!

supported by 19 fans who also own “In Deep Contemplation”
NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 17 fans who also own “In Deep Contemplation”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...

From the shadows comes a new EP from Sweden’s De Arma, full of dark gothic majesty.

Rake Me Over The Coals Tonight
by High Marks
Beautifully punishing minimalist goth-industrial on the latest from High Marks—distortion-caked and delightful.
