Until people truly know loss, sorrow, and solitude, they cannot know joy, love or fulfillment, for without black there is no white. Greys are fine, but if all you ever are is grey, you will never truly live life as it should be lived. Enbrace your sufferings for they shall give you wings, for on which to fly to lofty heights. I have always enjoyed VNV Nations music and IMO beloved says things the best but ALL of their music is fantastic. Thanks for posting the song it is wonderful.
Can you remember A day when it was not Not like this Do you still hear the laughter So hard to describe And never forget Faces that haunt you Wake or sleep You know you can't tell Unable to sleep Unable to fight Unwilling to wake A blade through your mind There on the edge No-one will find you.....
So afraid. To open your eyes. You know to well. that which awaits you. Something undefined. The demon without, the demon inside. To plague and torment you. Feeling so sure. Feeling so uncertain. Something is wrong.
Everyone's gone. You have been left behind. Everyone left... the demon inside.
You were not left behind So open your eyes So open your eyes Unable to sleep Unable to fight Unwilling to wake Please open your eyes Here I stand Unable to tell you I'm trying to say Nothing is wrong Please open your eyes Nothing is wrong You were not left behind
do you still hear thier laughter.....so hard to describe...you never forget the faces that haunt you...............not like this....be sure of yourself.......then someone pushes....a blade through your mind....why is everything wrong......here i am, with these words...trying to say somthing i cant...nothing is wrong.you were NOT left behind....please open your eyes....im trying to say...nothing is wrong.....you were not left behind.
This is VNV Nation, and one of their softer songs. Check out the songs "Illusion", "Holding On", "As it fades" and "Arena"...you wont be dissapointed/Jonathan
Found this song on iTunes the other day and couldn't believe I'd never heard of it, but I bought it... and in True VNV style, It changed my life again. Always for the better :D. Can't wait for their new CD, I've been feeling like crap lately and need their stuff... it's like a drug XD
while listening to this i was thinking about dinosaurs and everything before us that weve never experienced, all the things that we dont know in the universe, and probably never will. then it just gave me this void feeling,, weird..
I once heard someone say that Ronan Harris is the only person she knew that writes music from the glory hole left in his heart from raucous cosmic f*cking. He has been there and we are lucky that he is able to condense even a part of that experience into his music.
yeah, it is sad, but the ultimate message behind this is very uplifting, as are all of vnv nation's songs. I think this song is an answer to the devestation and hopelessness of their song "forsaken."
This song made me cry so much. can some one give me a hug? This song brings a choking feeling in my throat and I have to cry it out, so now I want a hug.
I think we all feel this way at one point in our lives. The most important thing is to remember were never really alone it just feels that way sometimes.
Where's the original video you've made before this new one? The one with only sky and universe pics an the letters coming near and away. It was much better :-(
Ok Isalein, I've made another with the text for you and posted it. I didnt use the origional images, I think these are much nicer. hope you enjoy it. xx Lil
I have been adding your video's to some of my works. Be it spirtuality or animal rights. I am so thankful to share your work. With this I created a tormented soul..it is inspiring. I will add your dolphins to help them. Thank you so much!
Thanks glad you like it. It's just a small poem I found years ago, I think of it as the powers that be reassuring us there here weather we realize it or not. so we don't feel left behind... that's how I see it.
Hi Jim, I knopw this is a late reply but if you ever get to see them you better get some great pictures cos I wanna see!!! lol xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx )o(
How did you know this is exactly what I needed to hear right now? You are a spirit walker with vision and heart. How do you make me cry like a lonely wolf in the moonlight all alone? Thank you LilysApple!
