lyrics

Let them sink and forget laying down in the heart, with me.
At the top of this mess, at last singing Serpent and Cross are best.
I and mine are long past human hurt, or hell.
There’s so little self, a shadow sighing at the end of the world. And so…

They have lied to me. I am not hurt.
They have wept for me, I had not known.
They have lied to me. I am not hurt.
They have wept for me, I had not known.

In this shell, my senses died. All ceased and I was not.
I am in the place where the demon is, but he is not with me.
This who wish to cross from here, cannot.
There’s so little self, a shadow sighing at the end of the world.

They have lied to me. I am not hurt.
They have wept for me, I had not known.
They have lied to me. I am not hurt.
They have wept for me, I had not known.

This Shame Should Not Be Mine
by GGGOLDDD

supported by 17 fans who also own “Monachopsis”

Quite certainly one of the bravest records I've heard in recent times, thematically and musically. Look your horror in the eye, only then can it disappear at all. I also recommend the consistent continuation on the EP „PTSD“. s/he knows

Why Aren't You Laughing?
by GGGOLDDD

supported by 10 fans who also own “Monachopsis”

Après avoir rajouté deux G et deux D à son nom, Gggolddd en a profité pour ralentir encore un peu le tempo. Bon, ce n'était déjà pas très speed, mais comme vous l'aurez compris : là n'est pas le but. Pour les avoir vus en live il y a peu, il faut se plonger dans une ambiance émotionnelle bien particulière, à la croisée de l'indé et du gothique. Bref, fans de Kreator ou de Veil of maya, passez votre chemin... Poesy Rider

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 10 fans who also own “Monachopsis”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
