'I want to tell them all it will be alright'
Experimental gothic/melodic/industrial/Darkwave. Step into the shadowlight...
DeadraveN's music ranges from soft piano melodies with spoken lyrics to harder industrial sounds, and just about anything in between. The music is an expression of different states of mind and being, as well as just an outlet for creative energies.
Story behind the song
you could say this one's been "in the works" for years.. The lyrics are from three seperate poems, all written long long ago. They're set to music compsed just recently...
Lyrics
She grew up broken down by the side of the road
All alone all along, she never knew where to go
Been spare changing since the day she was five
been like this since her mama died
Don't it make you want to cry?
His daddy was a dealer, his mother was a whore
been from home to home since the day he was born
passed around, and he doesn't know why
he relied on himself just to survive
Don't it make you want to cry?
I want to tell them both it will be alright,
tell them to join us in the shadowlight,
I want to bring them in, out of the cold
I want to let them know that they're not alone.
She sits on her windowsill
reading her poetry to the wind
she takes another pill,
and pushes the blade into her skin.
he dresses to look like death
he wears his emblem around his neck
drunk and alone beneath the stars
he smiles as the blood drips down his arms
They embrace the rain,
they call it their friend..
They welcome the pain
that they've brought on again..
I want to tell them both it will be alright,
tell them to join us in the shadowlight,
I want to bring them in, out of the cold
I want to let them know that they're not alone.
Children of the darkness,
we're like lovers in the rain.
Torn from the world
we're united by our pain.
Our eyes forever tainted
by the sorrow they've been shown,
Fallen angels are the only
kindred spirits that we've known.
In forgotten shadows
we find solice for our loss,
and echoes of the spirits
sympathetic to our cause.
The winds we ride are strong enough
to chase the angels' flight,
and are forever running
from those dark December nights.
Running to the comfort
of this forest made of dreams,
and the beauty of the places
that only we have seen.
I want to share this all with you
and show you what I am,
but once you've seen these secret dreams
you can't go back again...
I want to tell them all it will be alright,
tell them to join us in the shadowlight,
I want to bring them in, out of the cold
I want to let them know that they're not alone.
This is my number 1 favourite song, ever since I first heard it back around 2006/2007 on VampireFreaks. I never forgot it, took me ages to find it again, so glad I did. Really love your music and voice, no other music touches my soul like this. Thank you for being awesome and making this incredible music.
