lyrics

a circular buzzing sound of excess
wistful bodies surrounded by concrete
a pervasive pleasurable pain
the pangs of a creature polluted by light

soulless pillars, towering over me
I sink into lifeless obscurity
as electrics hum and shine
in the oppressive black, for which I resign
from demeaning, nauseating life
to dreaming, horrifying misery

ubiquitous animals rife with anxiety
medicate the symptoms, don’t disturb causality
fertile desolation, repetitive melancholy
lavishly detrimental, writhing insanity

a fleeting flash of city light
illuminates solemn faces
of the weary ones’ city plights
an un-nameable feeling evoked in me

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 15 fans who also own “Among the City-Plights”

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... Jordan Vauvert
