개인적인 상처와 상실감, 관계에 대한 고통과 절망을 테마로 아티스트의 가장 진솔한 내면을 드러내는 유약하고 느린템포가 지배하는 인디락 굵은 줄기를 형성하고 있는 slow/sad-core계열의 대표적 밴드. 느리고 우울한 감성을 토해내는 일렉트릭 기타의 우울한 하모니를 연출해내는 기타리스트 Matt, Bubba Kodane 형제의 감수성이 돋보인다. 느림과 고요함 속의 자리잡고 있는 상실과 절망의 메시지, 처절하게 외치지 않지만 감성을 뒤흔드는 베드헤드만의 아름다운 사운드의 결정체격인 마지막 앨범. 우울한 정서를 간직한 내밀한 울림과 다이내믹한 역동성을 함께 만끽할 수 있는 그들의 대표작이자 슬로우/새드코어 계열 음악의 걸작 앨범. 수입(캐나다) .... ....
Half sunk in the mud With one eye showing A cracked smile And hair still growing Your hands miles apart As if they'd never met You were the happiest I'd seen you yet
More than ever it seems true to say Things won't always be this way The ways we've thought to get this far Are as outdated as we are
But I won't change it and neither will you When what seemed the appropriate are now the wrong things to do If in every act there's something good I haven't done all the good things I could
And more than ever I know that's not true Are there any good thing left to do? Are there any right ways left to be? That's not a question best left to me
Cause I won't say anything I should decide If intentions aren't possible to hide I won't act any way I don't Want to reveal if you won't
I wiped away the sweat on my face And I looked around the room There was nothing out of place But nothing was happening too soon I could see the empty chair Leaning against its shadow Even though there was nothing there There was something in my eyes followed Like marks across the sky Erased as they're made I could see people going by Through the moonlit shade But no one stopped to look Through the blinds on the window I guess they all took Me for someone they don't know
A parade falls apart When the music slows down When the streets are in knots But there's no one left in town When the sweat leaves your face And the fear leaves your knees And you live in this place Where you live with complete ease
What have you done How could you be so So many times Accidents don't happen this much Not this time every day It's such a bad excuse To wait for tomorrow To think another day's Enough to wait for the next
Do you really need time You know I can't leave Though you hate to hear this every night I can't keep you unaware Of the time that you have After how long you've asked I can't make you forget ...
I've forgotten to say So many things Too many times Complete all the half thoughts That were only half mine About how if nothing happened That it was meant to be I can't believe what kind of things I made myself believe
If I take my own advice It will always only show The meaning it's lacked If I found a new conviction Will you and I start to feel it Slip out of our hands
Extreme ways are back again Extreme places I didn't know I broke everything new again Everything that I'd owned I threw it out the windows, came along Extreme ways I know, will part The colors of my sea Perfect color me
Extreme ways that help me They help me out late at night Extreme places I had gone But never seen any light Dirty basements, dirty noise Dirty places coming through Extreme worlds alone Did you ever like it planned
I would stand in line for this There's always room in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does
Extreme times that told me They held me down every night I didn't have much to say I didn't get above the light I closed my eyes and closed myself And closed my world and never opened Up to anything That could get me alone
I had to close down everything I had to close down my mind Too many things to cover me Too much can make me blind I've seen so much in so many places So many heartaches, so many faces So many dirty things You couldn't even believe
I would stand in line for this It's always good in life for this
Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Then it fell apart, it fell apart Oh baby, oh baby Like it always does, always does
It's always this year's gift Is it ever what I wanted Was I unhappy living in the past Has my growth been that stunted When to be ashamed is to be defined And all this self awareness The blind led by the blind An empty conscience is sensitivity I have to pretend I'm overcome with humility It always comes on time Not a second before the instant But this year I think I'd rather be a relic Than part of the present
