'You live for the moment.
You seize the day.
As soon as you've got it,
It fades away.'
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
This is based on a very old poem of mine, written almost a decade ago.
Lyrics
You live for the moment.
You seize the day.
As soon as you've got it,
It fades away.
Ashes to ashes,
and less to us;
taught to spontaneously combust...
Your body smells
like autumn flowers.
Your eyes are full
of super powers.
You defeat Evil,
and stand alone,
and in a while you're just a headstone...
Porcelain angels sing you to sleep.
Pray the lord, your soul to weep.
You're name is written
on a stone six feet above you
I'ts talked to by those
Who still love you.
Sleep, my angel, sleep...
Sleep, my angel...
Carpe Diem, Momentum,
Carpe Noctum, pendulum...
Lines across your shadows eyes,
Fishnets on your naked thighs,
White, Just like porcelain.
Heroes tell you you're the villain.
The people leave you
all alone
and in a while you're just a headstone...
Sleep, my angel sleep...
Sleep, my angel...
You run from the winter,
Into the cold.
You're still so young,
but you feel so old.
You're hiding in
The Shadow trees,
Wondering what god will do
with the rest of these.
You try to fly,
They pull you down.
You land somewhere
Within the ground.
Both Good and Evil
leave you alone,
and in a while, you're just a headstone.
