I once upon a time
Carried a burden inside
I sung a last goodbye
A broken rhyme I had underlined
There’s an ocean of sorrow in you
Sorrow in me
Saw a movement in their eyes
Said, I no longer knew the way
Given up the ghost
A passive mind submit to fear
And the wait for redemption at hand
Waiting to fail
Failing again
If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
You’ve taken more than we’ve received
And the ocean of sorrow is you
Does the ending guitar get to anyone else like it gets to me? There's just something about the idea of controlled dissonance and chaos that is so mystic and captivating.
My girlfriend broke up with me yesterday, even though it's a sad song this helps me.
It's killing me inside cause we both thought that we would spend our lifes toghether and it was so perfect.
Thank god for Opeth!
5:13 - 6:17... the whole song is prefect but this part makes me feel things I cannot explain. Just amazing, pure perfection. Nothing less. Thank you, Opeth.
I Don't know why..
I just don't know why... But when I discovered Opeth, I was 15 and didn't like them, found this too weird and brutal. I was listenning to Metallica / Iron Maiden and good shits from 1970-1980... Then I Closely listened to Pink Floyd.. Revelation, the power of "instrumentals Walks" leading you to marvellous place, built by awesome riff and melody... But it just awekened me.. Now I need the power that divides my Kind Part and my Dark one ... I Found Dream Theater.. it was more impressive to discover... But after all I think I miss the same thing I was searching, I'm more complete, but the emptyness is wider ...
And I found Opeth, a second time, after many life's experiences, disease and sad episodes... If I have to describe it ... I will say it's the perfect complementary of contradictious feeling .. There are rage, pain, hope, envy, sadness and many more beautiful abstracts thing in Opeth's song... and so are the lyrics
They just gave me what I was searching and this band changed my life for ever . They are so mystical, they talk to me as they sing for you. I'm totally in the universe they want to set up, year after years, song after song, kind after kind.. And now I see where it's coming from and where it's coming for... Thank you Opeth...
