All you are
I think this about when 2 people are first attracted to each other (have magnetism towards each other), but they could be 'poles' apart really as they don't really know each other that well(it mentions one of them being cold & dark - like metal).One of them would like to hide or pull away from the magnetic attraction but finds it hard to resist because the pull is so stong (gets pulled of the rails).It repeatedly mentions the push & pull of the on/off early attraction.

The West Pole
In my opinion this is about when a relationship has moved on a little bit & the early magnetism has faded away.The magnetism has changed so much they are like 'dry raindrops on summer winds' to each other (thats what I hear).The man has started to live his own life/roam.She has become mortal again after the high of the initial attraction.You get the man talking quitely in the background in the song to efficise his presence but only just/almost faded into background.The West Pole is probably a reference to be the point where the magnetic attraction is at it's weakest strength, although still there - just.

'you're spinning around in my head' in the west pole song is an analogy to the compass (yes - that free gift that comes with the tee shirt & LP package).Near the West Pole on the equator the compass would spin as there is no definate positive attraction to either north or south pole.The compass would point west - dead on the imaginary west pole,however.The compass would spin in either a clockwise or anticlockwise direction each side of the equator/west pole line you cross.
Anybody watch the TV program where they travelled around the world along the equator they demonstrated this.Rene's engineering background may have influenced the lyrics in this song or the compass analogy anyway.

Also the Northern Lights are caused by minute charged particles (Stardust) attracted to the north or south poles.Light is refracted through the small particles to produce the different colours (usually red or green) - Treasure (song).The 'aurora borealis' is the treasure in this song.
Sorry for boring some people :D

Hahaha, i like this thread!
I got deaf trying to figure out what she's singing - and got mad of laughing after comparing my results with Faridees...
So, i sent her my last guesses and maybe she will post an "upgrade" later.

:D :D :D

Just a suggestion: try messing with your computers' sound options. If any of you have a newer computer, there should be sound settings to match certain environments i.e. hallway, live, auditorium etc.. this could help make out those unknown words.

here we go again

no bird call

once there were beautiful trees
now they are
concrete tears
and they recall
must be falling in the land
cacophony of wonderful sounds
is replace by a symphony of silence

fading letters of conforting watch
never had time to say
goodbye

once there were beautiful trees
just been alone
just been alone for some time now
its been a while
colide to white

and they recall
must be falling in her land
cacophony of wonderful sounds
is replace by a symphony of silence

she had it all
whats left is beautiful
she had it all
whats left is beautiful
she had it all
whats left is beautiful
she had it all
whats left is beautiful
she had it all
whats left is beautiful

capital of nowhere

before the morning lakes
lights caught up in flames
and we realize
the silence calm our way
dont easily fade away
in between the heights

light travels through the winter skies
and all those pieces are remind
and slowly the heart opens

before the morning ways
lights caught up in flames
in the northern light

is more than you can take
to carry on the wage
you know you've tried

light travels through the winter skies
and all those pieces are remind
and slowly the heart opens

i need (you need)
need (you need)
i need (you need)
your light

light travels through the winter skies
and all those pieces are remind
and slowly the heart opens

i need (you need)
need (you need)
i need (you need)
northern light

you promised me a symphony

it is one plan
school bells ringing
my heart beats fast
i better get on running

she shouldnt be alone
i should've been at home

your guns
your lies
your cigarettes
your war

your guns
your lies
cigarettes
your war

she kept aside
our hearts were filled with fear
your prince left main
she stains
but too was there to clear

she shouldnt be alone
i should've been at home

my hope
my faith
your ignorance
your loss

my hope
my faith
your ignorance
your loss

pale traces


when?, when did you loose your smile?
where you walking all alone at night?
searching endlessly for a way to join the pieces
of what you used to be

let me hold you
hold you
for a moment

when?, when did you loose your smile?
was it all to much to take at once?
then suddenly you felt
you had nothing left

the coldest winter
cant freeze your heart
one day you'll see than even the longest winter
does its part

the true birds arent still given out
out to hold you
hold you
for a moment

when?, when did your dream fade out?
did it seemed
it wasnt worth repeat at all?
then ill try in all million ways
to make you understand

the coldest winter
cant freeze your heart
one day you'll see that i give it all
all to hold you
not even when our hope is gone
oh i still give it all
to hold you
hold you for a moment

one day you'll see
those happy plans
we'll soon make way
for brighten days

one day you'll see
i've been here
for you all alone
and now i will never let go of your hand

one day you'll see
one day you'll see

yet through the years
i'd still give it all to hold you

did it seem
it wasn't worth it at all
then i'll try another million ways
to make you understand

The coldest winter

one day you'll see that i'd give it all
all to hold you
not even when all hope is gone
oh i'd still give it all
to hold you
hold you for a moment

One day you'll see
those heavy clouds
we'll soon make way
for brighter days

One day you'll see
I believe
for you're all alone
and i will never let go of your hand

one day you'll see
one day you'll see

I believe in "You promised me a symphony", the first line is "It's 1pm"

I've spent some time on the headphones.

(I LOVE the lyrics)

I give you

"No Bird Call" - only 3 words :D

Once there were beautiful trees
Now there are..... concrete seas
A miracle has befallen the land
Cacophony of wonderful sense
Is replaced by a symphony of silence
Fading letters of comforting words
Never had time to say goodbye


When there were beautiful trees
She's been alone. She's been alone for some time, now
It's been a while (3 words here? )
A miracle has befallen her land
Cacophony of wonderful sense, is replaced by silence.



She had it all
What's left is there to fall

She had it all
What's left is there to call

She had it all
What's left is there to fall

She had it all
What's left is there to call

She had it all
What's left is there to fall..............

Great job, man! :D
Maybe those three words are: "quite a while"?

I believe that, instead of "When there were beautiful trees" on the second verse, the first line of the beginning remains the same in here: "Once here were beautiful trees", but she "drags" a bit her voice, hehe.

Yeah I think it's 'quite a while' too

And in YPMAS 'it's 1 pm' and I think this:

should be:
your prince left messy stains
but who was there to clear(or clean?)
