metallica' nın sözleriyle beni anlattığını düşündüğüm aşmış parçası.*sözleri şöyledir:
welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
dream the same thing every night
i see our freedom in my sight
no locked doors, no windows barred
no things to make my brain seem scarred
sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
they keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says rage
sanitarium, leave me be
sanitarium, just leave me alone
build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
whisper things into my brain
assuring me that i'm insane
they think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?
no more can they keep us in
listen, damn it, we will win
they see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell
sanitarium, leave me be
sanitarium, just leave me alone
sanitarium, just leave me alone
fear of living on
natives getting restless now
mutiny in the air
got some death to do
mirror stares back hard
kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.
coheed and cambria'nın en meşhur ve en aşmış şarkısı. good apollo i'm burning star ıv, vol. 1: from fear through the eyes of madness albümünde bulunur. sözleri şöyle;
you could've been all ı wanted
but you weren't honest
now get in the ground
you choked off the surest of favors
but if you really loved me
you would've endured my world
well you're just as ı presumed
a whore in sheep's clothing
fucking up all ı do
and if it's here we stop
then never again
will you see this in your life?
hang on to the glory at my right hand
here laid to rest is our love ever longed?
with truth on the shores of compassion
you seem to take premise to all of these songs
you stormed off to scar the armada
like jesus played letter,
ı'll drill through your hands
the stone for the curse you have blamed me
with love and devotion, you'll die as you sleep
but if you could just write me out
to neverless wonder... happy will ı become
be true that this is no option,
so with sin ı condemn you
demon play, demon out!
hang on to the glory at my right hand
here laid to rest is our love ever longed?
with truth on the shores of compassion
you seem to take premise to all of these songs
one last kiss for you
one more wish to you
please make up your mind girl...
ı'd do anything for you
one last kiss for you
one more wish to you
please make up your mind girl...
before ı hope you die
i go outside to find the middle of nowhere,
everyone needs their own empty stage,
just like the sky with no beginning or ending,
or like reading a book without a last page,
stop and turn around and say it with your eyes closed,
you don't need to welcome me home,
stop turn around
and try looking with your eyes wide open,
as we live our lives through a series of glances,
and you smile without smiling for a whole another year,
i think we need a little more understanding,
i think the future is already here,
so i wont ask you to
stop and turn around
and say it with your eyes closed,
you don't need to welcome me home,
stop and turn around
and try looking with your eyes wide open,
sadece sözleriyle bile insanın tüylerini diken, diken etme gücüne sahip metallica şaheseri. rüyanızda bir akıl hastanesinde olduğunuzu görüp, arka fonda bunun çaldığını duyarsanız, uyanır, uyanmaz bilgisayara koşup bu parçayı son ses açmanız kaçınılmazdır.
coheed and cambria'ya ait olanı ile bir tim burton prodüksiyonu olan 9'un trailerı vasıtası ile tanıştım. şarkı öyle bir oturmuş ki trailera gaza gelmemek elde değil. hele şarkının başındaki gitar melodisi seslendirenlerin(ki ekip öyle böyle bir ekip değil******) ve filmdeki karakterlerin eşlendiği sahnede öyle bir girdi ki, aman yarabbi. ardı ardına on kere izledim trailerı. sonra baktım olmayacak aradım buldum şarkıyı, indirdim. bir on kere daha dinledim. şimdi rahatım. iyi ki varsın dove.
fear of living on sözleriyle başlayan dize inanılmaz vurucu ve gazdır bu şarkıda insanı uçurur.
bu şarkının altında aslında çok daha derin anlamlar yattığını düşünmekteyim (bkz: philadelphia deneyi).
