Rating: Strange album this Unleashed Memories for these six Milanese.
They play unnecessarily with electronics and often make quite a mess. Fortunately, the electronic parts (mainly talking about synthesized drums) are few, allowing one to fully enjoy the fruits of the achieved artistic maturity in songs like To Live Is To Hide or Senzafine, Cold Heritage, or 1:19.
Finally, even Andrea Ferro manages to be on par with the other band members, showcasing his immense vocal abilities (perhaps a bit overshadowed by his "colleague," who, being a woman, and moreover hot, dominates). On this note, I would like to make a small criticism: sure, Cristina has a wonderful voice, but sometimes I get a bit fed up with hearing only her, and indeed the best songs are those where the two voices intertwine, breaking the sometimes monotonous litanies of Scabbia (please refrain from possible jokes).
Stunning in this regard is Senza fine, sung entirely in Italian, where Ferro truly makes a difference.
The production is finally powerful, as well as the sound of the guitars, decidedly more metal. The style is always typical of Lacuna: a metal balancing between rock, gothic, and some classical influences.
The melodies are never sad or lamentingly melancholic as one might expect from a gothic group, but "cheerful," normal, and bearable, even for those brainless people who snub Lacuna just because they are labeled (incidentally mistakenly) as METAL, thus they burp, are dirty, rough, eat children (like the communists) and perform satanic rituals (like the communists).
Try to resell the Evanescence CD and buy this one instead, you'll have made a deal. I'm a loser…just an illusion (1:19).
Tracklist and Lyrics
02 To Live Is to Hide (04:32)
While emotions try to come out
Desperately I seek in their path
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning
To hide emotions cause a blow out
Desperately I seek their blast
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning
I'm going to freeze
Is it my imagination?
It's underground
But I can feel it the same
What I need now
What I need is to live to hide
When you smothered my devotion
With your lies
And I feel now
As I did that time
That I'm wondering why
Still I make you cry
While emotions try to come out
Desperately I seek their path
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning
To hide emotions cause to blow out
Desperately I seek their blast
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning
Suffering while I'm depending on seasons
Roots under me are embracing the earth
03 Purify (04:34)
I cannot fight against myself
No more
Self destruction that I predicted
Not a long time ago
Petrified
Thoughts so far from me
The power of my justice blows me away
It's just the case to repeat
What I've never said to you before
Celebrate
I'm alive again
You don't expect from me
This chain reaction
You can't imagine from me
This great affection
See the structure of my pride
Wasn't easy to build it away from this
I never walked away from you
I never walked alone
A pleasure makes me vibe again tonight
I'm just thinking how fine it is to feel myself so fine again
Celebrate
I'm alive again
It's time to turn the page and start
And then
Don't you think that it's time
To convince yourself it's over?
Celebrate
I'm alive again
04 Senzafine (03:51)
Scorre lento il mio tempo
Che scivola sul velo della mia pella nuda
Se oltrepassassi il confine che mi hai dato
Forse io non sarei qui
Da adesso ormai che senso ha
Cercare di abbracciare un passato più puro
Guardando avanti rischierò
Ma riesco a rispondere ai miei perché
Tutto cio che sarai
Era già stato scritto
Se davvero esiste
Questo dio ha fallito
Ogni parola pronunciata
Sarà lo specchio del tuo dolore
Riflette la colpa
Alimenta l'odio
Madre
Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere
Sono ancora in piedi in questo istante di pura follia
Non so più se desiderare il bene o il male
Anche se il peccato forse più mi da
Da adesso ormai che senso ha
Opporre resistenza a un destino segnato
Non resterò a guardare senza
Riuscire a resisterti
Risvegliarmi
Madre
Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere
Risvegliami
Non c'è scelta senza me
Non c'è vita senza me
05 When a Dead Man Walks (05:52)
Paranoia
In which I think that I'm not confident
Blood into my hands I can't deny
A buzz into my ears that makes me mad
But I don't look back
While I'm waiting to die
I don't look back
In a weird lullaby
I'll carry on
And the hope in my heart is dry
But I don't look back
And I cannot reply
I don't look back
While I'm waiting to lie
I'll carry on
While they want to decide for me
Once again
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Paranoia
In which I think I'm not that confident
A tiny hope that burns into my breath
A bitter smile delights me at the end
But I don't look back
While I'm waiting to die
I don't look back
In a weird lullaby
I'll carry on
And the hope in my heart is dry
But I don't look back
And I cannot reply
I don't look back
While I'm waiting to lie
I'll carry on
While they want to decide for me
Once again
Once again
Living in their cage
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Killing me
07 Cold Heritage (05:21)
Dont tell me why
i'm so near to commit a crime
When i stay alone here in front of you
I'm here
Illusions falls when youre not honest about the way i feel
I know i need only your voice
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
I dont know why
There's a limit to defy
With the vision of the future at my feet
I'm here
The night embrace me while
The picture simply blows me away
I feel I'll need only your voice
And i'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Believe in the light in me
And i'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Reveal the light in me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Dont tell me why
i'm so near to commit a crime
When i stay alone here in fornt of you
I'm here
Illusions falls when youre not honest about the way i feel
I know i need only your voice
And i'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Believe in the light in me
And i'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Reveal the light in me
And i'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
I've never, never felt myself this way before
And I want to leave with my tears
If you'll disappear
Reveal the light in me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Falling on me knees only for you
Forgive me
Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
08 Distant Sun (05:26)
We've never been apart
The day has come
I'm feeling that your sun
Shines away from me
Tease me
Holding my hands you smile again
I couldn't see you away from me
I do realize it now
Living in me
You are living in me
You are living in me
I feel you by my side
Your living soul wants to run away with me
Inside of me
And now
Will something happen to me?
How did I lose my guide?
You left me all alone
But now it's too late
I know it's natural but now
What can I do without your presence here?
A never-ending pain
Living in me
You are living in me
I feel you by my side
Your living soul wants to run away with me
Inside of me
I feel you by my side
And I'm sure that I can't forget you
You are inside of me
You are inside of me
09 A Current Obsession (05:18)
Come to me
To feel my protection
A countdown to my revelation
No more respect
For your regrets
And your time has come
The naked truth is in disguise
It's your secret complication
Exhausted of this sacrifice
Just like a lying preacher
Hiding to survive
So strong living in torture
I know that you will never see
The light again
So hard living in torture
Erase the burning fear into
Your eyes again
This silent scream is stronger now
You cannot keep it too long
This cloud evolving into rain
Your desert seems so far now
Come into my arms
Following your line
I'm losing mine
10 Wave of Anguish (04:38)
There's something weird I wouldn't believe
Losing grip on my lifetime
I don't understand this wave I'm in
Wrong place, no money, just responsibilities
My heart and my wish are so far away
I'm alone now, feeling the slow beat turning fast
No longer breathing
I'm returning in my own hell
I don't want to go
Hold me into your arms
So tight you cannot see
You'll see it
In another world
Hold me into your arms
So tight you cannot see
You'll see
There is something strange you've got to believe
It's taking away my sunshine
I don't understand this wave I'm in
Wrong face, no money, just responsibilities
My heart and my wish are so far away
I'm alone now, feeling this slow beat turning fast
No longer breathing
I'm returning my own hell
I don't want to go
Hold me into your arms
So tight you cannot see
You'll see it
In another world
Hold me into your arms
So tight you cannot see
You'll see
I don't want to go
Hold me into your arms
So tight you cannot see
You'll see it
In another world
Hold me into your arms
So tight you cannot see
You'll see it
You'll see it
You'll see it
