Random Expressions To The Industrial Genre

Wed, 26 Mar 2008 01:54:39 +0000

Sitting back and listening to a few artists that have incorporated classical instruments into their music seems to always amaze. Emilie Autumn is astounding when she lets loose on her custom violin, or when Shadows in The Dark doesn’t say a word and bedazzles people with just a piano.

A friend recently sent me a song by Within Temptation called “Running Up That Hill”. Now WHERE have I heard that song from..? oh yeah..

Placebo.

Rock on, I thought. Within Temptation most often has decent music and the chick can sing. Plus since I’m a remix fiend, this was like getting a gift card for McDonalds when you are broke! So I gave it a listen and at first I really didn’t care for it. I then listened to it about 3 more times and I understand why I didn’t like it first.

They actually make the song non-depressing. (Okay so it took me a bit longer than normal to figure something out… I’ve been up for 36 hours get off my back). I do enjoy the song NOW, and mainly the intro of the song with the “windpipes” or whatever they are playing.

Kinda reminds me of those Chinese movies that are set back in the Han Dynasty era.

Shiny Toy Guns – Don’t Cry Out Lyrics

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:07:00 +0000

This is a song that took me a few days to get used to due to the odd singing. I came to realize later on, that it was because her voice was so odd during parts of the song, that makes the song is very addicting. Not to mention, the message of the song is outstanding and quite sad. Especially the second verse:

“I was pretending your secret kiss of confidence was my escape… the perfect game to play…”

If you ever have had that happen to you, then you know what I’m talking about. Seems like a lot of people like to do such an act and wonder why they are never taken at face value.

Now the chorus of this song was thought up fairly well. Actually, it’s my favorite part of the song because it holds the most emotion and pain of the whole song. The singers voice is stellar and soothing even though her voice is more of a snide remark in tone, given what she is saying.

It’s funny how you can relate lifes’ events to music and vise versa. What’s even more funny is when you first hear a song such as this, and then a week later, it happens.

What do you think?

I don’t get you . . .
I can’t forget what you’ve forgotten
all along
I’ve never been so alone. . .

Don’t Cry Out
Cease Fire

I was pretending
Your secret kiss of confidence
Was my escape
The perfect game to play. . .

Don’t Cry Out
Cease Fire

Ten nine eight and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up and I’m ready to play
Seven six five four and I’m all over you
Counting three two one am having fun. . .

Your fascination. . .
With naked walls of silk and skin
With no conditions
I needed you to notice. . .

Ten nine eight and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up and I’m ready to play
Seven six five four and I’m all over you
Counting three two one am having fun. . .

Don’t Cry Out
Cease Fire

Ten nine eight and I’m breaking away
I’m all dressed up and I’m ready to play
Seven six five four and I’m all over you
Counting three two one am having fun. . .

As Always, Here is A Fix.

Diary of Dreams – The Plague Lyrics

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 07:24:03 +0000

I’ve always enjoyed this song, and frankly the addiction kicks in every time I listen to this glorious song. It also reminds me a bit of Type O Negative from the singers voice, and on top of that, it’s fun to yell “HEY!” throughout the entirety of the song.

Now for the break down of the song. Right off the bat, as soon as the first string of the dust guitar is struck, the beat sends out an aggressive yet foreboding feeling yet at the same time the allure from the consistency of the bass guitar can leave the listener yearning to hear more… as if it’s addicting.

Now there are a few lyrics that extend the allure and add a dark seductive tone to the song: “Hey pathetic fool, you do not see this curse, it could be a blessing… in disguise. Hey little melody, I found your fatal trace that led me to your… hideaway..”.

Why is this alluring and darkly-seductive? Well that is easily answered if you relate it to raw emotion and giving yourself to another. I don’t mean by the horizontal mambo, but rather, when you trust somebody so much that you give everything you have to them. What is more dark and seductive than when you give yourself to someone just to see where they take you, I.E., “You do not see this curse, it could be a blessing… in disguise”.

On top of that everyone wants to know what someone else is thinking, especially if it has anything to do with them. So once a person gives themselves up to someone else, that includes their thoughts; “I found your fatal trace that led me to your… hideaway…” Everyone’s innate hideaway is their mind, their dark unknown, hideaway.

That is why those lyrics make this song so addicting, but then again, the beat helps.

Enjoy!

“Hey, pretty face
you think that you can hide
behind this mask of yours

Hey, prison cell
you can not keep me here
Silent waters are deep you know

Chorus:
I cannot see the man that you can see in me
I cannot kill this guy not even if I tried
I think I need to run to make myself a home
I need to separate the living from the dead

This is the mind you came to fight
Call it fateful!
Don’t be a plague, a spell to kill
You should be grateful!
(You should be grateful!)

… Call it faithful…
…You should be grateful!
(You should be grateful!)

Hey, pathetic fool…
you do not see this curse
could be a blessing… in disguise

Hey, little melody
I found your fatal trace
that led me to your… hideaway

Chorus:
I cannot see the man that you can see in me
I cannot kill this guy not even if I tried
I think I need to run to make myself a home
I need to separate the living from the dead

This is the mind you came to fight
Call it fateful!
Don’t be a plague, a spell to kill
You should be grateful!

This is the mind you came to fight
Call it fateful!
Don’t be a plague, a spell to kill
You should be grateful!
(You should be grateful!)”

Stromkern – Stand Up Lyrics

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 21:45:50 +0000

Imagine an all out brawl of :wumpscut, Yo Yo Ma, and House of Pain, and you’ll have the sound of Stromkern! The glorious blends of James “Ned” Kirby gave birth to Stromkern in 1994 after his DJing days lost their luster.

“Ned” DJed in Madison, Wisconsin in his teen bopper days, and gained much of his experience under “Flowers For Ravers”. (Honestly mate, what the hell kind of band name is THAT?!”)

Anywho, Ned’s earlier acts included “Konzentrationslagen” and “Aussicht vom Rande der Nacht” as well as a cover of Nick Cave’s “The Mercy Seat”. All of which were extremely popular with fans. He was soon signed to German label Kodex/Sushia Light, and the resulting CD “Flicker Like a Candle” announced Stromkern to the club music scene. Stromkern now records for Dependent Records in Europe and WTII Records in North America.

That is a bit of info of the band and their site www.stromkern.com holds a plethora of background and insight to what the band has in store.

Now here is the lyrics to Stromkern – Stand Up. This song is in a league of all its own due to the heavy and angry beats mixed with the stunning vocal speed. Just as the beats are unrelenting, so is Ned’s vocal talent. I honestly have yet to find another song that can go toe to toe with this one. If you ever need that “kick in the ass” to get yourself amped up before an event, this song is one to do the trick!

“Chorus:
Now the people on the left let me hear you say
That your sick of them lies and you’re not gonna take it.
Now the people on the right, ain’t no time to waste,
Gonna to start if off now, bring it on now, bring another
Now the people in the front, let me see those hands up,
Stand up and demand some answers
What! C’mon, can you hear me in the back.
If you can’t, let them know when we turn the tracks.
So c’mon.

(They’re addicted to power, and they’re addicted to war.
They’re addicted to war and they can’t break the habit.
It should prevail. It could be drugs.)

This is a song dedicated to the lost
Triggered by the light and devoured by the holocaust
Well you prayed for daylight and it never came
So you better start praying again
Well it’s not a psychosis and it’s not a relief
And it’s nothing that’s certain and it’s not a belief
It’s a just a sad fact. Maintain the illusion.
You want a solution
We want a revolution

Well I’ll follow; we’ll synchronize
So many confined at one place at one time
And there’s so much at hand that I don’t understand
And circumstances demand that we all better take a stand
Give in once, well you’re giving in twice
Giving in three times; like you’re giving them light
But they can’t keep secrets ‘cause they know they’re wrong
And they can’t keep us down ‘cause we’re too damn strong

Chorus:
Now the people on the left let me hear you say
That your sick of them lies and you’re not gonna take it.
Now the people on the right, ain’t no time to waste,
Gonna to start if off now, bring it on now, bring another
Now the people in the front, let me see those hands up,
Stand up and demand some answers
What! C’mon, can you hear me in the back.
If you can’t, let them know when we turn the tracks.
So c’mon.

Well an enemy yours is an enemy mine
And I’m just not sure if I’m wasting your time
If I could see the inertia I’d give it a try
But I gotta project or I gotta deny
Nothing is wrong here, but something ain’t right
I don’t feel this; I’m not seeing this
Something ain’t happening. Plus I got a feeling
Don’t make a sound. Keep your eyes on the ceiling

It’s automatic; I know we used to have it
And I wanted to let it go; I wish it would make it so
Nothing’s gonna save me when the chips are down
Nothing’s gonna save you if you don’t act now
But the current event is like a curdling sound
The event hypothetical is better than now
The action on the trigger’s just to stay in your mind
Any action or reaction is just a matter of time

Now the people on the left let me see your faith
I want to start it off slow then we’ll pick up the pace
And now the people on the right ain’t no time to waste
Been a long time coming gonna hit the ground running
Now the people in the crowd let me see those hands
‘Cause it’s so far gone I’m not surprised no one understands
What! Turn it up can you hear me in the back
Fly now so we testify so we can never die
Fly now so we testify so we can never die
So we fly

So we all pretend we’re oblivious
Perfectly serious
Tell me that you needed this
Never know what you’re gonna find
Never know what you might have left undefined
But I can tell you what it won’t be
Another web of confusions
Of lies and illusions
You can’t imagine the half of them
Petrified
Genocide
Masterminds
Worlds that they’ve undermined
It’s a place it’s a time it’s a lifeline
It’s a chance to atone for a lifetime
Reach your hands to the sky when you testify
Put ‘em up keep ‘em up until you realize
Killing them once is like killing them twice
Killing with something that’s a killing device
It’s killing them slowly then it’s killing them nice
If it’s killing your act
I want a reich

Now the people on the left let me HEAR your faith
I want to start of slow then we’ll pick up the pace
Now the people on the right ain’t no time to waste,
been a long time coming but you’ll hit the ground runnin’
Now the people in the front, let me see those hands,
Cause it so far gone and that’s a price no one understands
What! Turn it up. Can you hear me in the back?
Right now is when we testify so we can never die.
Right now is when we testify so we can never die
So fine

Right now is when we testify so we can never die”

As Always, Here is A Fix.

De\Vision – Even Love Follow’s It’s Nose

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 13:08:36 +0000

“Life can be
a blessing in disguise
for those who know
how to live it right

Forget about
the future and the past
only this moment
will forever last

Love will find
Love will find a way home
Love will find a way home
a way back home to you

Go beyond
the bounds of possibility
Time and tide
wait not for you and me

We’re poles apart
but still we are the same
we hurt ourselves
and we’ll do it again

Love will find
Love will find a way home
Love will find a way home
a way back home to you

Heaven ain’t far from where you are
Heaven ain’t far from where we are

Love will find
Love will find a way home
Love will find a way home
a way back home to you

Heaven ain’t far from where you are
Heaven ain’t far from where we are

Heaven ain’t far from where you are
Heaven ain’t far from where we are”

I’ve always loved De\Vision. Some or their songs do sound a bit… sappy at times, but their beats keep me listening to their songs over and over no matter how sappy their lyrics are. Some of my favorites are “I Regret”, “The End”, “Subtronic [Beat of Steel Remix]”, and of course “Strange Affection”. They have come so far in both looks and in style from their earlier days, though they still have a very similar style to Depeche Mode and Joy Divison. This song I actually mistook for a Depeche Mode song since the styles are that similar at times!

There are people out there stating that De\Vision have gone as far as creating rip off songs from the more widely known and one of their influential bands; Depeche Mode. Some soothsayers also state that De\Vision is a play on words from Depeche (De) and Division (Vision). I can neither conform nor deny this yet but I honestly could care less.

If the band wants to create a name by fusing two other known names and make their own, then fine. Obviously they wanted to show how much these other bands meant in their music and show some more thanks and respect then just some text under Bands Influence.

Some people can be so retarded when it comes to asinine crap as a bands NAME. If people really wish to put that kind of energy into something useful… say, their own bands’ name, then I think there could be a lot more clever and eccentric band names. Hell even some record label names could be more creative if that energy was used in a more positive manner… Retards.

This song is called “Love Will Find A Way” by of course, De\Vision. So go get the song, come back here and sing along with the lyrics! If you don’t feel like doing that then I’m going to post Madonna next week…

As Always, Here is A Fix.
