Intro- Hopeless
03:54
|
|||
|
A heart that’s
Hopeless,
Lonely,
Focused
Only
On its own pain,
Breaks under strain
When it knows that no one cares,
A sad heart despairs.
Cast aside and forlorn,
The heart is transformed.
A heart that’s been ignored,
Hates those that are adored.
Pain that’s caused by other’s bliss,
Turns loneliness to bitterness.

Bitter

You’ll never know just how much I love you,
I’d let it out, but I just don’t think you’d care.
I don’t think I could place anyone above you;
A fact that only deepens my despair.
You know me well enough to know that I was lying
When I said that I “didn’t mind at all.”
I laugh and smile, but inside I’m still crying:
“Fuck you- you little slut- fuck all!”
I just want to be loved
I just want to be in love
You’ll never know just how much I hate you
It’s not your fault, but I still feel you’ve done me wrong.
I want to slap and punch you, and berate you,
But inside I’m still singing me same song:
I just want to be in love
I just wanted to be loved

Sehnsucht

Wo, wo bist du?
Du hast in die Nacht verschwunden.
Warst du wirklich hier?
Ich glaube, Ich glaube das du hast mich berührt.
War das nur ein Traum hat Gefühle mich verfürht?
Ich sehne für dich
(Das ist irgendwie sinnlos weil du warst vieleicht ein Traum)
Ich weine um dich
(Das macht meinen Wangen nass und bringst du nicht zurück)
I vergesse dich nie
(Du bist mein treues Lieb)
Aber du flogst davon
Du warst ein schöner Engel mit mir nur für eine Nacht
Ihre Küsse verbraucht die Nacht
Du hast in mir die Lust entfacht
Deine Blicke verbrannt mein Herz
Du hast von mich all dem Schmerz
Du, warst du ein Traum?
Ist es mein Schicksal
Nie dich wieder sehen?
Ich glaube, ich glaube das du hast mich berührt.
War das nur ein Traum hat Gefühle mich verfürht?

Kiss The Fire
04:41

Eternity is far too long,
My time is at an end.
This is the final note I send,
I will return to join the dust.
I revel in the coming dawn
My immortal life in done
I long to see the sun.
I bid farewell to you my love
(Eternity is far too long
I revel in the coming dawn
I will return to join the dust
I have desire to kiss the fire)
I reach out to the closest star
The light of others’ is too far
No fear, no hate, nor last desire
My thoughts are clear
(Have you my dear?
Have you desire)
As I kiss the fire
(To kiss the fire?)
My final moment nears
I ignite in fiery blaze
’Til I’m nothing but a haze
I disintegrate in endless space
Evaporating blood and tears
My body will melt away
To rejoin mortal decay
Gone forever with no trace
I reach out to the closest star
(This is the end of all my dreams)
The light of others’ is too far
(To be impaled upon sunbeams)
No fear, no hate, nor last desire
My thoughts are clear
(Have you my dear?
Have you desire)
As I kiss the fire
(To kiss the fire?)

Mondenschein
03:04
|

|
Jetzund kommt die Nacht herbei,
Vieh und Menschen werden frei,
Die gewünschte Ruh geht an,
Meine Sorge kommt heran.
Schöne glänzt der Mondenschein,
Und die güldnen Sternelein,
Froh ist alles weit und breit,
Ich nur bin in Traurigkeit.
Zweene manglen überall
An der schönen Sternen Zahl,
Diese Sterne, die ich mein,
Ist der Liebsten Augenschein.
Nach dem Monden frag ich nicht,
Dunkel ist der Sternen Licht.
Weil sich von mir weggewend't,
Asteris, mein Firmament.
Wann sich aber neigt zu mir
Dieser meiner Sonnen Zier,
Acht ich es das Beste sein,
Daß kein Stern noch Monde schein.

I’m hearing colors, I’m seeing sound,
Sparkling fractals, raindrops in surround.
I can explain the genius in the textures in mine eyes:
The feathered peaks and mountains hide in a dark disguise.
Ooh so super sexy, entrancing, and vexing.
Sweet kisses (candy) flipping, rolling and tripping.
Ooh minds are meshing, a bit perplexing.
Please stop me before I prove myself a fool.
Ooh so super sexy, entrancing, and vexing.
Sweet kisses (candy) flipping, rolling and tripping.
Ooh my body’s moving; my mind is tuning.
Feeling so super sexy fun and cool.
I’m hearing colors, I’m seeing sound,
Shining dancing wind, glitter all around.
The glazes on the windows contain iridescent gleams.
The water on my lips, like infinite flowing streams.

A Hopeless Romantic
03:35
|
|||
|
Being with you it seems like time never ends
Even in silence we’re the best of friends
Shared interest, unique points of view
Conversations, learning something new
But we exist for each a separate part
I’m in your mind but you’re in my heart
But if my love should ever show
Then even friendship’s out the window
Learn to be silent or alone
So please forget all these feelings I’ve shown
I wish I could escape this emotional split
The reflex of being a hopeless romantic
I start casual, feelings grow overnight
Love spreads in my heart like a parasite
But we exist for each a separate part
I’m in your bed, but you’re in my heart
But if my love should ever show
Then even sex goes out the window
Learn to by silent or alone
So please forget all the words in this song

Unser Leiden
04:19
|
|||
|
Wann waren wi zuletzt zusammen? Es fühlt wie eine Ewigkeit.
Bloße Lust ohne Liebe, nicht heilen kann meinem Einsamkeit.
Zereist mein Fleisch, wie du hast mein Herz.
Erstickst du mein Schreit, und gib mir mehr schmerz.
Bind mire in Knoten, und schlug mich hart.
Schlag mich bis mein Körper ist zart.
Wir geben einander nichts alls Schmerz, unser Leiden is ewig.
Wie schwelgen in fleischige Gelüst, aber fühlen nichts innig.
Wir geben einander nichts alls Schmerz, unser Leiden is ewig.
Unser Liebe ist ein Zyklus, unsere Beziehung ist giftig.
Jetzt bin ich dran um den schmerz zubringen.
Jetzt sind es deine Schreie die mitschwingen.
Ich peitsche dein Körper mit meiner Reitgerte,
Aus meinem Schmerz geopferte.

Thinking Of You
04:43
|
|||
|
Shining lights or twinkling wings
Music plays, and my heart sings
Distant tours to distant shores
Time will bring you back to my arms
And I was always thinking of you
Distance nor time can come between us
Close in mind as we are
Our love is a sustaining genus
A garden grown from the heart
And I’ll be always dreaming of you

Widow's Song
04:30
|
|||
|
I have to reveal it here
This night should be without fear
As I enter into here
Your bridal bed and my bier
I’m staring into your eyes
While you’re moving inside me
Please embrace my life
Before I disappear
You’re/I’m caught between my/your thighs
Until you are a part of me
Please don’t close your eyes
This night should have no fear
Tap upon the shadows of web
Enter in my bed
Reveal yourself to me
Come closer acrobatically

I Was Wrong
03:05
|
|||
|
I was wrong
I am saying that I am wrong
So that we don’t have to prolong
This conversation in which I am right
To get into fights
is not my delight
So I’ll say that I’m wrong
If we could just move on
But you’d rather sit and linger in
Your trivial unimportant win
So I was wrong
I was wrong when I said you were right
I just didn’t want to fight
Over little things all night
I was right when I said you were wrong
You were wrong and I knew it all along
I would have been happy to try
Leaving this whole thing as a tie
But you have too much pride
You always assume
You’re the smartest person in the room
But half of your facts are just points of view
So I was wrong
I was wrong to ever even let you think you were right
You’re just so uptight
And always gearing for a fight
Well, now it’s come along
And you were wrong

Devotion
04:07
|
|||
|
Love me!
Inhale me
Become addicted to my scent
Taste me
With every sigh on the tip of your tongue
View me
Let your eyes track my every movement
Heed me
Attend on the notes that I’ve sung
Love me, love me
Worship at my feet
Prove your devotion
Give me your emotion
Love me!
Read me
Know my every desire
Show me
I’m not just one of the crowd
Touch me
Quench my burning fire
Hold to me
From now ’til decay in my shroud
Love me, love me
Worship at my feet
prove your devotion
Shower me with emotion
Love me, love me
Pledge yourself to me
Prove your devotion
With the strongest emotion
Give me all your self
Just me and no one else
Worship me, worship me
Just as I worship you

Outro- Romantic
01:50
|
|||
|
If my love should ever show
My heart just gets thrown out the window
Left if I’m fast ignored if slow
I take any affection that I can borrow
Cast aside and forlorn
Subjected to scorn
Lonely and hopeless
Full of bitterness
I wish I could escape this emotional panic
It’s exhausting being so hopelessly romantic

Upon Her Eyes Chicago, Illinois
Solo project fusing darkwave, goth, industrial and some early music.
The project takes
its name from the E.A.Poe poem "Lenore", "The life still there, upon her hair--the death upon her eyes." So the band name is an allusion to death.

Upon Her Eyes recommends:
Micah creates interesting industrial tracks- on this album I worked with him, writing and recording vocal melodies to go over some tracks and we collaborated wholly on the song "Thank You".

Vestige & Vigil
by The Bellwether Syndicate
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hopelessly Romantic”
In most US states, it's illegal not to get off your butt and dance to this band. The punk and deathrock roots come through, with a synth cushion. I'm a sucker for thoughtful lyrics with driving beats.

The End Is the Beginning

Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
