Images and memories in disarray.
An old attic crammed with objects that speak a secret language.
A language that you seem to understand.
Even if it is not a language, but a jumble of sensations.
With the seventeen-year-old luludia, the one with the Joy Division imprinting, who's here to nitpick you. Then again, seventeen-year-olds rather than nitpicking usually lash out.
So I throw a stone into the pond and randomly open the book of translated lyrics.
What comes out is “Isolation” the second track of “Closer”...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The first words evoke demons so dear to the Count..
However, the language reveals an almost archaic flavor, to the point that you would never say that the author is just over twenty.
And it almost feels like dealing with a kind of Nico, precise and terrible sentences whispered in a desolate land...
“Surrendered to self-preservation from others who care for themselves. A blindness that touches perfection but hurts like anything else”
Maybe it's us, we're the ones who look after ourselves. But our reasonableness isn't all that great. The only thing it guarantees us is unhappiness.
Damn, it's hard to breathe, even if it's just the first step...
Isolation, isolation, isolation says the chorus...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
And after those words carved in stone, with a triple somersault that breaks the heart, the boy talks to his mother...
“Mom, I tried”
You know, right, that a lot of people call their mother in times of emotional turmoil?
Do you know?
“Mom, I'm ashamed”
“Isolation, isolation, isolation”...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Then “the beauty, these things I could never describe”...that is the secret language of the objects in that attic, but I say this just to close the circle...
“Isolation, isolation, Isolation”...
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The music of Joy Division is solemn, solemn and suffocated...
And “Isolation”, with that Doors organ turned Kraftwerk, is pure soul cabaret wrapped in warmest cold...
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
What did that guy say?
“Ok the punk, but sooner or later someone will say something more than screw you....someone will say I'm screwed”
Exactly...
Tracklist and Lyrics
01 Disorder (00:00)
I've been waiting for a guide to come
and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel
the pleasures of a normal man
New sensations bear the innocence -
leave them for another day
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling
take the shock away
It's getting faster, moving faster now,
it's getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the backstairs
into no-man's land
Lights are flashing,
cars are crashing,
getting frequent now
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it
out somehow
What means to you,
what means to me -
and we will meet again
I'm watching you, I watch it all
I take no pity from friends
Who is right and who can tell,
and who gives a damn right now
Until the spirit, new sensation
takes hold - then you know
Until the spirit, new sensation
takes hold - then you know
Until the spirit, new sensation
takes hold - then you know
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
02 Wilderness (00:00)
I traveled far and wide through many
different times
What did you see there?
I saw all knowledge destroyed
I traveled far and wide to prisons
of the cross
What did you see there?
The power and glory of sin
What did you see there?
The blood of Christ on their skins
I traveled far and wide through many
different times
I traveled far and wide where
unknown martyrs died
I saw the one-sided trials
What did you see there?
I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes!
Tears in their eyes!
Tears in their eyes!
Tears in their eyes!
05 Atmosphere (00:00)
Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.
Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.
People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away.
06 Love Will Tear Us Apart (00:00)
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed our respect runs so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
07 Isolation (00:00)
Be clear every day, every evening
It calls here aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Mistaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self-preservation
For those who just care for themselves
But life as it touches perfection
Appears just like anything else
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Mother, I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things
I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
This pleasure's a wayward distraction
This is my wonderful prize
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
Isolation
08 Interzone (00:00)
I walked through city limits
Someone took me by the hand in the blue
Attracted by some force within it
If I could close my eyes,
I could get used to it
Around the corner where a puppet lay
Saw the place where she had a room to stay
A wire fence
where children play
Saw them dance where the body lay
And I was looking for a friend of mine
The car screeched in the sand
and dust
Feel encouraged -
just a car on it's side
Metallic blue turned red with rust
Pulled it close by the buildin's side
In a room for forgotten youth
I could think
or let my senses slide
Turned on to a night with you
Find the place where my friends, won't go
And I was looking for a friend of mine
and I had no time to lose
Yeah looking for some friends of mine
Down the dark street,
the houses looked the same
Stopped and turned around,
held me to a game
I walked round and round,
you nailed me to a tree
Trying to find a way,
trying to find a way, to get out
For twelve windows stand in a row
Behind a wall
where a room to go
The light shined like a neon show
See the deep mellow warmth
of the glow
No place to stop,
no place to go
No time to lose,
have to keep on going
I guess they died some time ago
I guess they died some time ago
And I was looking for a friend of mine
And I have no time to lose
Yeah, I was looking for a friend of mine
09 She's Lost Control (00:00)
Confusion in her eyes that says it all -
She's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by
She's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past
And said "I've lost control again."
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.
And she turned to me
and took me by the hand
and said "I've lost control again"
and how I'll never know just why
or understand
She said "I've lost control again"
And she screamed out, kicking on her side
And seized up on the floor -
I thought she'd died
She said "I've lost control again"
She's lost control again -
she's lost control
Well I had to phone her friend
to state her case and say
she's lost control again
And she showed up all the errors
and mistakes
and said "I've lost control again"
But she expressed herself in many
different ways
until she'd control again
And walked upon the edge of no escape
and laughed "I've lost control again"
She's lost control again,
she's lost control
she's lost control
12 New Dawn Fades (00:00)
Change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch
admire the distance
Still occupied - though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made
I took the blame
Directionless, so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free
So you say
We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
We'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much,
can't take much more
Oh I've walked on water,
run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
It was me - waiting for me
Hoping for something more
Me - see me in this time -
Hoping for something else
13 Glass (00:00)
Hearts fail
Young hearts fail
Anytime -- Prussurised
Overheat -- Overtired
Take it quick -- take it neat
clasp your hands, touch your feet
take it quick, take it neat, take it quick, take it neat
Hearts fail
Young hearts fail
Anytime -- whereabouts
On the Run -- Underground
Put your hand where its safe, lay your hand where its safe
do it again, do it again again again again do it again, again, again, do it again and again!
Anytime thats your right
dont ya wish we do it again?
Overheat -- Overtired
dont ya wish we do it again?
dont ya wish we do it again?
dont ya wish we do it again?
Anytime thats your right
dont ya wish we do it again?
Anytime that your right
dont ya wish we do it again?
dont ya wish we do it again?
Bet ya wish we do it again?
do it agian
do it again
do it again!
