I am immortal

When I was alive I lived a short story which didn't survive 25.
Oh how time flies.
The curtain descends, but darkness my friend, this is not where it ends.
I am immortal. I am immortal. Yes, you are immortal, too.
Destiny called, but then it went free falling in the blink of a mind's inner eye.
Oh how time flies.
The ashes have blown to places unknown. I'm not blood, skin and bone.
I am immortal. I am immortal . Yes, you are immortal too.
I've seen how this life plays it's part. It loaded the dice from the start
And knew every move in the game.
When I was alive I lived a short story which didn't survive 25.
Oh how time flies.
The curtain descends, but darkness my friend, this is not where it ends.
I am immortal. I am immortal . Yes, you are immortal, too.
I am immortal. I am immortal . Yes, you are immortal, too.

Reflections on Saturday

Saturday, my reflections on Saturday… the kindest words you could offer were crueller still than the sea.
Eternity, it would take ‘til eternity to flood the darkness between us. We’d still be light years apart.
Second hand, you won’t always be second hand if you place your trust in a sad song and chain your heart to its bars.
I’m talking about a time when I thought so much of you, talking about a time when I had your touch.
And I know it’s not done, but I will be waiting here eternally ‘til you find the time.
Silent film, are you living a silent film? – all sepia stained and neglected. The past is no place to hide.
Saturday, reflections on Saturday…the years that crept past your window, the fears that slipped through the door.
I’m talking about a time when I thought so much of you, talking about a time when I had your touch.
And I know it’s not done, but I will be waiting here eternally ‘til you find the time.
I’m talking about a time when I kissed your face and I’m talking about a time, an emotion and place.
And I know it’s not done, but I will be waiting here eternally ‘til you make a contribution, ‘til you make a resolution when you find the time.

Je suis immortel
03:30
|
|||
|
Quand je vivais, aventure écourtée
Je n'avais que vingt cinq ans, rien en face.
Que le temps passe.
Le rideau descend. Voilà le néant.
Je ne lâche pas facilement
Je suis immortel.
Oui, vous êtes immortels aussi.
Le destin m'a appelé, mais il est tombé
En chute libre, désir de vivre.
Que le temps passe.
Les cendres soufflées vers un lieu de secrets.
Pas de chair ni de sang.
Je suis immortel.
Oui, vous êtes immortels aussi.
J’ai vu la vie jouer son jeu.
Mais dès le début elle est maîtresse des enjeux

Réflexions du Samedi

Samedi, mes réflexions du samedi ... vos doux mots offerts étaient cruels, plus cruels que la mer.
Éternité. Il faudrait une éternité pour inonder les ténèbres entre nous. Séparés par les années.
Même loin de moi, vous êtes là dans mon cœur, confiante dans une chanson triste. Votre cœur n’est pas enchaîné.
Je parle d'une époque où je pensais beaucoup à vous, d'un temps magnifique où j'avais votre caresse.
Ce n'est pas fini. Je vous attendrai ici avec passion éternellement, quand vous trouverez le temps.
Film muet, vivez-vous le film muet? Des images tachées de sépia, (abandonnées). On ne se cache pas dans le passé.
Samedi, réflexions du samedi ... les années devant la fenêtre, les peurs glissant par la porte.
Je parle d'une époque où je pensais beaucoup à vous, d'un temps magnifique où j'avais votre caresse.
Ce n'est pas fini. Je vous attendrai ici avec passion éternellement, quand vous trouverez le temps.
Je parle d'une époque où j'embrassais vos lèvres. Je parle d'une époque, d’un lieu, d'une émotion.
Ce n'est pas fini. Je vous attendrai ici avec passion éternellement, quand vous trouverez le temps de la paix, quand vous me ferez une promesse, quand vous vous donnerez.

The Vow Liverpool, UK
Liverpool pop rockers The Vow have released 4 albums in 4 consecutive years. Their 2015 release "Ghost Writer", like it's 2012, 2013 and 2014 predecessors "For a Dreamer", "Bluer than you" and "You Are?" is packed with bright, bouncy sing along tunes with deceptively dark lyrics. Their music is permeated by the influence of The Beatles and David Bowie, but no other band sounds quite like The Vow ... more
