The Gathering

I lay in the hands of my maker...

Daylight, awake the puppets' world...

Not a subject to control, you call upon a higher power for help and inspiration(Travel).
Just so that you'll be scared of me, behind my powers I will hide all my fear(Locked Away).
My arms will provide undivided attention(Morphia's Waltz).
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime, and see it with my eyes, watch... ...and... ...flying(Strange Machines)
My dear, don't leave me now...(Mandylion)

Her beautiful heart is drowned in grief - Jelena

If you come closer
I'll show you
How it feels - Monsters

Leave me against the stream
One hundred worlds will see me
Passing by - In Motion #1/#2

You don't need to preach
You don't have to love me
All the time - Saturine

I wish you knew
Your music was to stay forever
And I hope...

I have no clue
If you know how much it matters
And I hope... - Travel

The message is: There is no message

kill me with your thoughts, use your mind (In Motion # 1)

Sometimes it is better to lay, don't you think? (Confusion)

The picture on the wall is chaotic
I don't want to look at it
But when I do
I cannot speak because of
the confusion in my head
(Red Is A Slow Colour)

the frost hits me in the eye and wakes me up - on most surfaces
and the air, we all dare to ride it somehow - great ocean road
no brain waves or activity - liberty bell
would i still feel myself as i hit the ground - illuminating
and again the rain falls down together with me - in motion #2
if you come closer i'll show you how it feels - monsters

omfg, this is really hard to answer... Lemme think for a while.
Too many to mention, but I'll do it anyways:

"I need to weep myself into a comma" - The Big Sleep
"With every wave the sea makes my body gets weaker and weaker.... and weaker.." - My Electricity
"I have no clue if you know how much it matters" - Travel
"And I feel so good because once more I don't have to be honest with myself" - Locked Away
"How beautiful life would be if it hadn't been shot to pieces" - Shot to Pieces
"We'll never go on, we're used to these empty words. It's just a frame of mind" - Bac Movie Scene
"Breathing is bridging the gap between black and light" - Souvenirs
"I wait and wait and what I really hate is the panic that stops me from breathing" - Third Chance
"I rinse my face in water... My breath runs out in the waves" - Rescue Me

Some of my faves:

- How beautiful life would be if it hadn't been shot to pieces. (Shot To Pieces)
- I wait and I wait and what I really hate is that panic that stops me from breathing. (Third Chance)
- Could it be that my dream will come true? (Strange Machines)
- Pale is my face you might want to colour while I breaaathe! (The May Song)
- I'll be butchered all the same! (A Life All Mine)
- Practically the whole of Souvenirs (the song) and Probably Built In The Fifties.

confidence in what i do
realising my hope
that's the bright side i'm looking for (from the sky people)

Top Artists this Week

Black Light District
Blaming global infection
for the illness in him
Little knowledge of the non-affection
between him and his kin
Old, grey, bitter, anxious and collapsed
Like a wallflower once blooming
Withered to apparent death
Blaming the guilt
Crying the tears
Torture the pain
Leaving the emptiness behind
Apparently he had no reason
To harbour the trust
He'd forsaken inside.
Apparently he left his reasons
Forsaken the trust
that harboured within
Walk, I cannot walk
For I am blind, blinded I am
By the pitch of dark, so dark is it
The narrow street, never ending narrow
Clogs my throat
Silently I try,
Try to walk, blinded by the pitch
The narrow darkness, clogs the street
I am speechless
I am speechless
Fear puts a rush on my steps
As I stare into the spinning depth
The end is not near the sight that I am hoping for
And all the light that paves the way for me
Is the wish and will for the end to see
The bright light is the end of the black light district.


Darkest lyrics ever written by TG..


and
You learn about it
Now that we're through
the hell with you
We dont mind
We just give it a sigh

We hardly knew
what you were capable
of doing
But why don't you give it a try

Your Troubles Are Over

Towards the light
I will run
I will run
I will run
Towards the light

Towards the light
I will move on
And so I learn
To move
The one before
The next steps I take
Will pay the road ahead of me

most optimistic lyrics by TG..

I just love this song... but the final part... it's... HUGE! Everytime I hear this song I burst into tears song...

"I will feel great without my weight pulling me down"

"it's so enormously frightening when our tail reaches superheat"

...LOVE it when TG write about space travelling, this subject fits their style perfectly

'bad movie scene', 'herbal movement', 'the big sleep' rule too...

on a side note the lyrics from Always were huge as well especially 'the mirror waters' and 'second sunrise'

"All the sense you are capable of
does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?" + "It's a fight, it's a fight" (Amity)

The whole Strange Machines song is really cool. Excellent "big wish" atmosphere.
I could certainly go on, there are a lot of nice passages.

Have you noticed the reccurent them of the Breathe? Any thoughts or information about it? Also other ones (water, watching from a distant position...), is there any topic about that?

I'm madAsHell and I'm not going to take this anymore!!!

Too many are the lyrics I like to be posted all together.
I could start with my The Gathering's favourite dreamy song ever, TRAVEL:

I wish you knew
your music was to stay forever
And I hope....
I have no clue
if you know how much it matters
And i hope....

"...You see
I'm riding endlessly
What will become of me
This higher power knows

You see
I'm waiting patiently
And what this means to me
Nobody ever knows

You see
In all the warmth I feel
Is this the end of me?
Only I should know."

"A noise severe" - such a beautiful song...


And the lyrics in "Travel":

"I wish you knew,
your music was to stay forever,
and I hope..."

This is special to me too. There have been times when I've had to ask myself that question.

Other important lines for me are in A life all mine:
"The crown of my work
Is what I shall gain"
This has been an inspiring motto for me for years now!

"No strings attached to this body of mine.
A life all mine to lose"
This is also quite couraging

There are certainly some others too but I don't remember just now.

You spill red... on my cloudy carpet.

Touch my face with your sigh.

You are, you are the sign of my unrelief

Restless is carrying fever
burning you to pieces
In search and need of a friend
Will I bow down to this in the end?

...tear up your face with my frost and make you run to somewhere warm
