Adrenaline

what makes you forget is the structure
you're in, all your life
can't you feel there is the animal inside
growing roots, still, inside your mind

suppress your underbeing and let them rule
you don't care, yeah you don't give a damn
as long as you've got your car
do you actually go so far, as giving in your
adrenaline away




"Adrenaline" is about people who only go for the material things in life, like getting a new car, a bigger house, etc. A lot of people forget that you still have a responsibility with nature. You have to enjoy eachother and nature and only worry about the paint that was scraped from your new car after that. That is something I really feel strongly about. But it's all just things that go on in my mind.

Third Chance

Fear and sweat, my muscles ache
I smile, but it's just a fake
I fade away
It troubles me, what you're gonna say
Just a day away
And you will be here to stay

I wait and I wait
And what I really hate
Is the panic that stops me from breathing
My knees hit the floor
And I panic more
Until you open my door



"Third Chance" is about two people and about the 3rd chance they get to do something. Not the first or the second, but the third... It's mainly just a funny story actually...

Who or what inspires you?

Anneke:

I think everything and everybody. I think everyday life is a really important factor. Everything you go through, everybody you meet, the books you read, the movies you see, the music you hear, especially, and the relationships you have. Everything and everybody is inspiring me to make music. Last night, for instance, I was home alone and I was listening to my own four-track recordings and I was inspired by my own little song, I made another song about it. It could be anything. The sun shining could be a reason for a whole five-minute song...

Where does the inspiration for the Gathering lyrics and songs come from? Is there just a general path you follow or does it depend on the current course of your lives and the changes?

frank :

I think it depends heavily on the course of our lives and the direction they’re going. Especially lyric-wise of course, you can adopt on it and make some kind of therapy out of it to write music and lyrics from that, you know, what you experienced; it helps a lot to cope with things.

Where do you get some of the ideas for your lyrics?


anneke: It could be anything really. Just everyday life inspires me to write. Sometimes when we write the music, I listen to it and get ideas for subjects. But also music we listen to, or movies, or the people and things around you – anything, even The Discovery Channel. Silly moments can give me an idea. Plus the fact that I’m not very good in titles, so the guys kind of make it a sport to come up with great titles for the songs. Sometimes somebody comes up with a title and I have a good idea just with hearing the title – so it could be anything really.

when do your lyrics and the concepts come to you?


Well at the month, could be on anything, the train,watching TV,when sleeping, but the best ones usually come when I'm sleeping and I wake up with an idea in the middle of the night and you write it down within 5 minutes but that's not often. I usually have sit down at my desk and write hundreds of sentences and pick out the best ones.

Strange Machines

it has always been in the back of my mind
dreaming about going to the corners of time
i always wanted to fly in strange machines

i wanna do centuries in a lifetime
and feel it with my hands
touch the world war II and Cleopatra
flying...

could it be that my dream would come true
building a machine that would actually do
what i want it to do

russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin i think that would be o.k.
more than anything i wanna fly in strange machines

i wanna do centuries in a lifetime
and see it with my eyes
watch Jesus rise, if he ever did
flying...

i wanna do centuries in a lifetime
and feel it with my hands
touch renaissance and Chaka Khan
flying...




Έχει στοιχεία από το industrial όσο αφορά τ΄ρυθμό και στιχουργικά αναφέρεται στο να ταξιδεύεις στο χρόνο. Έχει γραφτεί πάνω στην ταινία "Time Machine". Είναι ένα από τα πολύ heavy κομμάτια μας.

Eléanor

underneath the mask you've buried yourself into
it's coal-black
i am tired of the gulping that you do
every day a new face
what if i unscrew
your own identity
wouldn't you guess there's nothing left of you?

the quicksand of life drags us
down into the circle
one day. we might not catch you

i feel sorry for what you try to do
breaking others down. to try and to pursue
your own selfish interests
i am starting to get sick of you

whatever happened ever since you left
you make yourself and me look like fools



Γράψαμε τη μουσική επηρεασμένοι από την ταινία "Η λίστα του Σίντλερ". Οι στίχοι όμως αφορούν κάποιους ανρθώπους που φορούν μάσκες, που είναι ψεύτικοι. Σ' αυτό το κομμάτι επιζητούσαμε μια ατμόσφαιρα τρόμου, ξέρεις, με πολλά εφέ. Ελπίζω να τα καταφέραμε.

Leaves

i close your eyes with my mouth
now you don't see anything
but you feel my breath all over
i can feel you too

although i don't really know you
i don't really care

cry with me, make my day
tomorrow all will be gone
all the sweetness and all the fun
no, i don't wanna know...

although i don't really know you
i don't really care

now that you're gone i don't know
how to really feel inside
baring the hope to see you again
i guess i never will
now that i do really know you
yes, i really care!



Είναι ίσως ένα από τα πιο καταθλιπτικά κομμάτια του δίσκου. Όσο αφορά τους στίχους, σχετίζεται με μια προσωπική σχέση της Anneke. Μιλάει για κάποιο πρόσωπο που μπαίνει στη ζωή σου και την εμπλουτίζει, δίνοντας σου δύναμη. Την μουσική την έχει γράψει ο Frank. Είναι ένα θλιμμένο κομμάτι ποu περιλαμβάνει ένα riff που θυμίζει Iron Maiden.

Fear The Sea

water travels by itself
inspires us to fear the sea
when it affects our state of mind
we drown in our make believe

those little drops that cover two thirds
eventually there will be nothing left
but water, this water

it rules but even so
it tears apart around us
throws itself high up in the sky
never will be able to tame

[in rememberance of Harold Gloudemans]


Μιλάει για τη δύναμη του νερού. Της θάλασσας πιο πολύ. Στον τόπο που μένουμε υπάρχουν πολλές λίμνες και έχει γίνει μεγάλος αγώνας στο παρρελθόν για να τιθασεύσουμε τα νερά. Η δύναμη του νερού είναι κάτι που πρέπει να σεβόμαστε. Μουσικά, αυτό το κομμάτι παραπέμπει στο "Almost A Dance".

Sand And Mercury

my dear, don't leave me now
close at the edge of my end
all this time you have been my friend
don't go, stay for a while

my dear, you're losing me now
this will be my last hour
hear my voice, see my face
see how sick i am
how i long for your embrace



Το μεγαλύτερο κομμάτι μας. Έχει πολλές επιρροές από Pink Floyd και είναι το καλύτερο κομμάτι μας κατά τη γνώμη μου. Είναι δεκάλεπτο και συναντά κανείς σε αυτό τα πάντα πυ μπορούν αν δώσουν οι Gathering. Αναφέρεται στο να πεθαίνει κανείς αργά.
