northern wind take my song up high
to the hall of glory in the sky
so its gates shall greet me open wide
when my time has come to die…
if this is my journey’s end
then cast me to the pyre
and if all that remains
is a blackened heart
and the stench of death
the know my spell is cast
and sing my song
with pride once more
with pride once more…
(Primordial - Sons Of The Morrigan -ειχα κυριολεκτικα ανατριχιασει οταν το επαιξαν στην τελευταια τους συναυλια)
HANOI ROCKS-FALLEN STAR
I’ve been drinkin’ quite a lot lately
Been thinkin’ of the times you made a star
Times do change and we must
rearrange our lives with it
I’d like to send you a postcard but still don’t
know your address,don’t remember your name
It’s funny how your face is still in my eyes
Hidden by a tear
I do believe in that one day you’ll rise again
I’ll always keep on believing
It gives me strength to carry on
Without love through dark nites…
A million miles away
Broken Dreams / Silent Dream
I’m walking on this road alone, and I try to find what I was looking for.
I’m afraid that I wont find my way back home, to the place where I belong.
My mind is made for dreaming (What is the point of your existence if you can’t even live your dreams?)
My life is made for living
I try to find some better solutions, so I know witch way to go if I get lost in all these broken dreams
Every day same old choises over again
Every day same old moments to give
I just want to fly away from here… (And reach out for a better tomorrow!!)
I want to get out of this misery… (This misery is killing me!!)
Everyday is exactly the same, this never ending way we loose ourselves
you can drag me down as hard as you can, but I’ll never be a part of this plan
You can take my life but you can’t take my soul, thats the only thing whats real in this world
Is this too complicated? It’s just the way I see this all!

Όπου Και Να Σαι - Kafrillion
Όπου και να είσαι τώρα
Άκου το τραγούδι αυτό, σου λεει πόσο σ’ αγαπούσα
Ήθελα να τα’ χεις 'όλα
Μα εσύ ποτέ δεν ένιωσες για σένα τι περνούσα
Και τώρα τα πράγματα έχουν αλλάξει…
Οπου και να σαι, στ’αρχίδια μου
Ό,τι κι αν κάνεις, στον πούτσο μου σε γράφω
Γιατί εσύ είσαι μακριά, κι ούτε σκέφτεσαι άν υπάρχω
Κι εγώ σε ξεχνώ και τι μελάνη στα παπάρια μου κοιτώ
Όπου και νά σαι…
Όπου και να είσαι τώρα
Άκου το τραγούδι αυτό για τη μαλακία που σε δέρνει
Θα σου έδινα τα αστέρια
Μα τίποτα πια πίσω κοντά μου δε σε φέρνει
Εξάλλου η ρόδα έχει γυρίσει
Οπου και να σαι, στ’αρχίδια μου
Ό,τι κι αν κάνεις, στον πούτσο μου σε γράφω
Γιατί εσύ είσαι μακριά, κι ούτε σκέφτεσαι άν υπάρχω
Κι εγώ σε ξεχνώ και τι μελάνη στα παπάρια μου κοιτώ
Όπου και νά σαι…
Τώρα πια το έχω ξεπεράσει
Εσύ όμως αμφιβάλλω αν κατάλαβες τι έχεις χάσει…
Οπου και να σαι, στ’αρχίδια μου
Ό,τι κι αν κάνεις, στον πούτσο μου σε γράφω
Γιατί εσύ είσαι μακριά, κι ούτε σκέφτεσαι άν υπάρχω
Κι εγώ σε ξεχνώ και τι μελάνη στα παπάρια μου κοιτώ
Όπου και νά σαι…
I know that it’s evil
I know that it’s got to be
I know I ain’t doing much
Doing nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoe string
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock ‘n’ roller welfare
Sitting in my Cadillac
Listening to my radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tell me where she want to go
I’m living in a nightmare
She’s looking like a wet dream
I got myself a Cadillac
But I can’t afford the gasoline
I’ve got holes in my shoes
And I’m way overdue
Down payment blues
Get myself a steady job
Some responsibility
Can’t even feed my cat
On social security
Hiding from the rent man
Oh it makes me want to cry
Sheriff knocking on my door
Ain’t it funny how the time flies
Sitting on my sailing boat
Sipping off my champaign
Suzy baby all at sea [Suzy baby you’re obscene]
Say she want to come again
Feeling like a paper cup
[Floating | Blowing] down a storm drain
Got myself a sailing boat
But I can’t afford the gasoline […afford a drop of rain]
But I can’t afford to gather way [gather way - navigation - To attain headway. ]
HANOI ROCKS-WATCH THIS
Everything I see
I haven’t seen this way before
It’s not just you and me
Others do agree for sure
Everyone I know
Is so afraid and quite confused
What becomes of us
Should be known to me and you
All that we have found
The infastructure’s breaking down
I see no saviour comin’ round
The final days have come and gone
And more lies become exposed
Beyond the ones we alrteady know-no nice surprise
WATCH THIS-YOU THINK YOU’VE SEEN IT ALL
WATCH THIS-THE BEST IS YET TO COME
SOME REAL FUN
WATCH THIS-I WATCH IT ALL FLOW BY
AND LET NOTHING PHASE ME OUT
Everything’s a mess
But my mind is pure and clean
I can only guess
Have they brainwashed,programmed me?
Almost everyone
Is scared of what they might become
Some already have
Made a nightmare from a dream
All that we have found
The infastructure’s breaking down
But all this chaos calms me down
Disorder comes as safe and sound
I’m detached from the outcome
But I still believe in miracles-some nice surprise
WATCH THIS-YOU THINK YOU’VE SEEN IT ALL
WATCH THIS-THE BEST IS YET TO COME
SOME REAL FUN
WATCH THIS-I WATCH IT ALL FLOW BY
AND LET NOTHING PHASE ME OUT
Opeth-Benighted
Come into this night
Here we’ll be gone
So far away
From our weak and crumbling lives
Come into this night
When days are done
Lost and astray
In what’s vanished from your eyes
What came and distorted your sight
Saw you benighted by your fright
Come into this night
Your plight alone
Carry your weight
You are flawed as all of us
Come into this night
Your only home
It’s never too late
To repent, suffer the loss
What came and distorted your sight
Saw you benighted by your fright
What came and distorted your sight
Saw you benighted by your fright
Come into this night
When you’re able
To undo your deeds
And atone with your lonely soul
Once you’re into this night
All minds are stable
Forget all your needs
Lose the grip of all control
Επειδη μολις γυρισα απο συναυλια Αγγελακα/Βελιωτη…
ο κοσμος μου θυμιζει
γραναζι που γυριζει
χωρις να ξερει γιατι
γραναζι που γυριζει
που ξεφυσα και τριζει
σε μια τρελη μηχανη
ο κοσμος μου θυμιζει
ναυαγιο που αρμενιζει
σε θαλασσα πλαστικη
ναυαγιο που νομιζει
πελαγη πως διασχιζει
ενω δεν ειναι πια εκει
κι οταν δεν με οριζει
με κυνηγαει, με βριζει
μα εγω το σκαω σαν παιδι
ο κοσμος που βουιζει
παλευοντας να κρυψει
τη νεκρικη του σιωπη

HANOI ROCKS-A DAY LATE,A DOLLAR SHORT
Late at night as I lay down to sleep
I think of all the secrets people keep
Like how I feel for you
Do you feel it too
Or is it something we have to resume
We’re just two people watching time fly by
In a world in it’s obvious decline
But we are young and strong
We can carry on
Find a little Paradise of our own
'Cos no one saves the day
It’s no one else’s fault
If you’re a day late or a dollar short
Just think about how lovely life could be
Excluding all the man-made misery
If we’re too far behind
And really out of time
Is there another world they plan to find?
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
We’re all just lonely people
Only dyin’ to fall in love
Feelings that we thought
Dreams we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
All the loneliness,the blues
Feelings so distraught
When you’re a day late or a dollar short
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
And no one saves the day
It’s no one else’s fault
When you’re a day late or a dollar short
Day after day
Nothing’s changed you’re far away
But I need you to know that I can’t sleep anymore
By the nights
Night after night
The stars are shining so bright
Though our pain is larger than the universe tonight
I want you to know I can’t sleep anymore
By the nights
By the nights
Day after day I want you to say
That you’re mine
You are mine
Year after year
Tear after tear
I feel like my heart will break in two
You came like a wind I couldn’t defend
You cut my heart so deeply
The scars won’t mend
I’ll never believe in love anymore
After this
After this
Can never change or rearrange
What we lost
What we lost
Time after time
I am wasting my time
Living in a past where I was strong
But now I am gone
I leave no shadow when I’m alone
I’ll stay forever in my dreams where you are near
Want you to know I can’t sleep anymore
By the nights
By the nights
Day after day I want you to say
That you’re mine
You’re mine
Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black
ασυλληπτο κομματι και απιστευτη η ερμηνεια του warrel…
Sometimes when I’m alone I still feel you
Your breath on my neck, you’re still with me
And I’m still dreaming neon black
I wait for you, to taste your unknown world
The clock spins to time that must mean nothing
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
And wash away my innocence and fear
Sometimes I wonder where you are, can you feel my tears?
I never knew what changed you
Did they paint your dreams in pale shades?
I wait for you, you know you cannot hide
Division from within invalidates suffering
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
And wash away my innocence
I am a child of light living in your mind
The pain, the unknowing washes away in time
Until then will you meet me whenever I call to you?
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
and wash away my innocence
Meet me in the dreamtime water, drown
Shifting shaping currents flow in memory
swim through me
Meet me in the drowning pool of tears
And wash away my innocence
Meet me
My only cure won’t you meet me?
In the drowning pool of fate the moon and the sun still wait
Won’t you meet me?
I suffer silently for our love, the jester has lost his dove
Αλήθεια ξέρει κανείς σε τι αναφέρονται οι στίχοι του Dreaming Neon Black? Εγώ, χωρίς να έχω αναλύσει ιδιαίτερα τους στίχους του υπόλοιπου album, πιστεύω ότι πρόκειται για κάποιον ονειροπόλο άντρα που αγάπησε κάποια η οποία άλλαξε, έγινε κομφορμίστρια και τον παράτησε…
Did they paint your dreams in pale shades- το μαύρο είναι η μουσική του, ο τρόπος ζωής του, οι απόψεις του…Ενώ κάποιοι (κοινωνία,ΜΜΕ?) έβαψαν τα όνειρα της γυναίκας που αγαπάει σε ανοιχτές αποχρώσεις που δείχνει τον συμβιβασμό και την επιφανειακή αντίληψη των πραγμάτων. Και έτσι όταν η γυναίκα άλλαξε τρόπο ζωής τον παράτησε, μόνο που αυτός θα την περιμενει για πάντα να γυρίσει στον σκοτεινό κόσμο των δικών του ονείρων…
Μπορεί να λέω ενα σωρό βλακείες αλλά εγώ έτσι το αντιλαμβάνομαι.
Όπως και να’ναι μέγιστη κομματάρα!!
18 And Life/Skid Row
Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it’s
18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it’s
18 and life to go
[repeat above]
Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, “Ricky’s the wild one.”
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang Bang Shoot 'em up, The party never ends.
You can’t think of dying when the bottle’s your best friend
And now it’s
[chorus]
“Accidents will happen” they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind - that child blew a child away.
[chorus]
Μπαγάσας (Στίχοι Νικόλα Άσιμου)
Αφήνω πίσω τις αγορές και τα παζάρια
θέλω να τρέξω στις καλαμίες και τα λειβάδια
να ξαναγίνω καβαλάρης και ξαναέλα να με πάρεις
ουρανέ
Για δεν υπήρξα κατεργάρης
και την χρειάζομαι τη χάρη σου μωρέ
Ρε μπαγάσα περνάς καλά κει πάνω
μιάν ανάσα γυρεύω για να γιάνω
Δεν το πιστεύω να με χλευάζεις
σαν σε χαζεύω δε χαμπαριάζεις
πρότεινε μου κάποια λύση
δε θα σου παρακοστίσει
και θα σου φτιάχνω τραγουδάκια
με τα πιο όμορφα στιχάκια στο ρεφρέν
για το χαμένο μου αγώνα
που τ’αστεράκια μείναν μόνα να το κλαιν
Αφήνω πίσω το σαματά και τους ανθρώπους
έχω χορτάσει κατραπακιές και ψάχνω τρόπους
Πως να ξεφύγω από τη μοίρα
κι έχω μέσα μου πλημμύρα ουρανέ
για δεν υπήρξα κατεργάρης
και θα το θες να με φλερτάρεις γαλανέ
Ρε μπαγάσα περνάς καλά κει πάνω
κάνε πάσα καμιά ματιά και χάμω
Κει που κοιμάσαι και αρμενίζεις
ξάφνου αστράφτεις και μπουμπουνίζεις
κι ότι σου 'ρθει κατεβάζεις
μη θαρρείς πως με ταράζεις
Γιατί σου φτιάχνω τραγουδάκια
με τα πιο όμορφα στιχάκια στο ρεφρέν
για το χαμένο μου αγώνα
που τ’ αστεράκια μείναν μόνα να τον κλαιν
Where The Rain Grows-Helloween
I never looked higher
Than I could see
Never gave less
Than I have given me
The more you have taken
You turned into fakes
I finally know how
Why for heavens? sake?
Don?t tell me you did not see that I cried
Don?t act so deaf and blind
Don?t think that is someone?s made dumb to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
Now you call me liar
?Cause you are just the
?Always-have-right-
fools-majority?
I think that if someone
Starved at your side
You?d all turn your back
Won?t give any dime
Don?t tell me you did not see that I cried
Don?t act so deaf and blind
Don?t think that is someone?s made sad to the core
He would stay like before
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
[SOLO]
So I take my life
Back from where the rain grows
Die to survive
Back from where the rain grows
I know where the rain grows
I?m back from where the rain grows
SISTERS OF MERCY - Detonation Boulevard
Through the angel rain
Through the dust and the gasolene
Through the curelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Long distance information
Just tell me where the manholes steam
A little girl waits on my staion
With a new machine
On Detonation Boulevard …
I got wrecked out here
In a Eldorado
I got wired, white - walled
In this hot - wired sedan
I caught something weird in Encenada
I?ve a brother of sorts in Torquemada
Long distance information
Disconnect me i f you can
On Detonation Boulevard … bang bang
On Detonation Boulevard …
Through the angel rain
Through the dust and the gasolene
Through the curelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Long distance information
I?ll take the same
I got the fuel for the transformation
I?m a naked flame
On Detonation Boulevard … bang bang
I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol,
Well, I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol.
Ahhh…
Told the man to put in some water,
But he wouldn’t put in a drop at all.
I was drinking my straight alcy,
And I went walking on down the street,
Well, I was drinking my straight alcy,
And I went walking on down the street.
Yeahhh…
Well, my eyes got so heavy,
I nearly fell half asleep.
Well, I like sherry brandy,
My baby sure like gin,
Well, that little girl I got,
Sure put me in the,
Spin I’m in.
Well, I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol.
Yeahhh…
I told the man to put in some water,
But he wouldn’t put in a drop at all.
Whisky make me drowsey,
And gin can make you think,
Well, a common cold can kill ya,
But, my baby tell me to drink,
I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up a jug of alcohol,
Yeahhh…
I told the guy to put in some water,
But he wouldn’t put in a drop at all,
One hundred per cent alcohol,
Well, let me have some.
Well, I like sherry and brandy,
My baby sure likes gin,
And that little girl I got,
Sure put me in,
The spin I’m in.
I went down on 31st Street,
To pick up, pick up a jug of alcohol,
Yeahhh…
I told the man to put in some water,
But he won’t put in a drop at all.
Ninety one per cent,
Better make it ninety two,
Ninety three per cent,
Ninety four, that’ll do,
Ninety five,
Ninety six,
Ninety seven per cent,
Ninetyeight,
Bartender that’s ninety nine,
Make it one hundred per cent,
One hundred per cent,
One hundred per cent,
Wanna try some,
I wanna try some,
One hundred per cent,
Then I won’t feel a thing at all.
Ούτε εγώ έχω μπορέσει να το ψάξω πολύ, αλλά νομίζω η κοπέλα όντως εξαφανίστηκε και δεν την ξαναείδε. Δεν ήταν ότι χώρισαν…
By the way, από το ίδιο album:
-Forever-
“What has been put asunder
shall again be whole”
In this neon black gloom I still see her face
She comes to me bringing darkest hour, I am forlorn
The pain is reborn
You are forever in my heart you never died
You are forever I still wonder where you are
I know you’re dreaming, I know you’re at peace
I’ll meet you in the dreamtime
Whenever you call me I’ll go under, I’ll swim through you
You are forever in my heart you never died
You are forever I still wonder where you are
I know you’re dreaming neon black
“As the curtain calls, and the cast recedes,
I am all that ever was and all that ever will be.
In wither and repose this frayed chapter
now does close, and fade into neon black”
