desudowngrade Amazing symphonic metal but more minimal going for a melodic death metal sound. A heavier Evanescence with tragic lyrics that make you feel sad, but also a bit happy dare I say. Favorite track: Nowhere To Turn (ft. Solaria).

Wonderbox Metal A shockingly good album of atmospheric black/doom that you should not miss out on

William J. Rogers Beautiful melancholy. Emotionally heavy and profoundly moving. I came across this record utterly at random and was completely stunned by it. The music has such a unique sound and feeling that it really transported me out of the world for a moment. Ethereal & captivating with a touch of the sublime. Will certainly keep listening and recommend you experience this for yourself ❤️ Favorite track: Empty (ft. Solaria).

peachdias As a certified crier, this album really brought me to tears. From Empty being the most heartfelt emotional breakup song i’ve ever heard to Flash In A Glance feeling so sorrowful. So much passion, emotions and dedication was put into this album and you can really feel it, which is so rare to find. The never ending feeling of melancholy throughout its entirety really resonates with me, you can really hear all the love involved in every single second of it. Thank you for sharing this with the world Favorite track: Roaring Tides (ft. Solaria) (Clannad Cover).

Æʟᴇx Hᴇʟʟʜᴀᴍᴍᴇʀ ₁₉₈₄ Haunting, smothering, melancholic. Melodic doom at its finest. This album speaks to my sad moods more clearly than any other that I've heard.
For me, this is the album of the year in this genre.
Favorite track: Empty.

And now it's always cold The seasons never change After everything we've seen A silent voice rings out of my head To tell me nothing's left Is there a way out of this torment? It's more than I can bare It's not what you did to me It's the way we were living Empty Echoes from walls that once would shelter me Imprison me Softly Wisper the words that you once said to me Eternally Empty Intrusive thoughts are all that's left in me They're haunting me Gently Caress the void that lives inside of me An endless sea If the love that we had will disintegrate And the world will continue on As our memories fade to dust Will you still think of me with disgust? I could never make up for the pain I cause It's a line that I've crossed too far I can't see my way back from here I'm an island and you're past the shore Empty Echoes from walls that once would shelter me Imprison me Softly Wisper the words that you once said to me Eternally Empty Intrusive thoughts are all that's left in me They're haunting me Gently Caress the void that lives inside of me An endless sea Empty Echoes from walls that once would shelter me Imprison me Softly Wisper the words that you once said to me Eternally Empty Intrusive thoughts are all that's left in me They're haunting me Gently Caress the void that lives inside of me An endless sea

“If you'd like… If you’d like, shall I take you? To the place in town where wishes come true? This is a world that’s come to an end. An empty and still world where no one exists but I. There's a small table and chair in this room but outside the window there is nothing but an empty plain stretching into an endless horizon. This building is old. I don’t know how long ago it was built. I live here alone. Passing time in solitude. Sometimes I venture outside, Picking up little odds and ends that I might need. Of course there is no one outside either. But under the fading sun, a sea of tiny lights are fluttering about. Amidst those lights, I picked up wood scraps, nails, and many other things. My purpose was to create a friend. But now, even as I construct him, I wonder if anyone would be happy to be born into a world like this. At every turn, those feelings of doubt still haunt me.” I implore you Adore you If you’d like I can take you To the place where our wishes all come true I’m right here with you (x7 Repeat) I implore you Adore you If you’d like I can take you To the place where our wish comes true “If I had known this was going to happen I wouldn’t have taken her with me. In the end, all I did was make her suffer. I don’t want this to be the end of our journey. I don’t want to stop now. Even if there is no hope for us, I don’t want to accept that. I don’t want to let her fall asleep in a cold, lonely place like this.” “You’re still there aren't you?” “Of course I am. I’ll stay by your side forever.” “Thank you. I can hear your voice after all this time.” “Really?” “I feel my humanity slipping away. I think that’s why I can finally hear you. I had a dream just now. I found out a lot of things. Things about you. Things about me. Want me to tell you?” “Mhm.” “You were from the same world, you and I. We were very close to each other long ago. No… Actually, we’re still close. Even now.” “Wait! Then that means we don’t belong in this world after all! Let’s go back together!” “Sorry. That sounds wonderful but I have to stay here.” “Why?” “Because I’m not just another part of this world. I’m the world Itself.” “I don’t understand… You said we’d leave this world together didn't you? You promised!” “If I leave this place then the entire world will disappear. If that happens, all the lights will turn from hope to sorrow. Each one of them represents the hope of someone in the other world.” Keep me by your side Oh darling won't you Keep me by your side? Hold on I'm here so Won't you keep me by your side? I feel like I've been waiting my whole life So please love Won’t you keep me by your side? Oh darling won't you Keep me by your side? Hold on I'm here so won't you keep me by your side? I feel like I've been waiting my whole life I implore you Adore you If you’d like I can take you To the place where our wishes all come true I’m right here with you (x3 Repeat) I implore you Adore you If you’d like I can take you To the place where our wishes all come To find you Keep me by your side Oh darling won't you Keep me by your side? Hold on I'm here so Won't you keep me by your side? I feel like I've been waiting my whole life So please love Won’t you keep me by your side? Oh darling won't you Keep me by your side? Hold on I'm here so won't you keep me by your side? I feel like I've been waiting my whole life To find you If I had another day Just to spend our time away Would you let me show you? Take my hand and we'll find our way To the place where everything was irreplaceable When our love was all insatiable I can't waste another day So darling won't you let me stay? Time eternal Immemorial Illusionary In my reverie The tides roar back to me “I’m here with you” My world’s empty without you

Anxiety All the days are flowing through me Nothing will be the same No one's coming to save us Tormented dreams Sweating cold all throughout the night Without a hope I silently die My memories traumatized Sacrificed paralyzed When everyone's let you down There's nowhere to turn Their hideous rotting souls Will poison the worms Is there's nothing left In their hearts left for us to save them Gullible stubborn fools Will only feed off their own lies Why shouldn't I Despise those who'd revoke our rights? Their apathy stabs as deep as a knife These impotent leaders will crumble without a fight When everyone's let you down There's nowhere to turn Their hideous rotting souls Will poison the worms Exploitation Discrimination Manipulation Polarization Degradation Demonization Condemnation Derealization Dissolution Isolation Contamination Disintegration Overconsumption Alienation Insurrection Rationalization Will this ever see an end? I just can't comprehend This cruel world burns around me Nothing can set me free Others will simply just pretend That authority is their friend Praying for your own safety A fool is all I see Is this all that life has to offer us? Will this ever see an end? Do I have the strength to defend? This won’t be our destiny If we have solidarity When everyone’s let you down Continue to search And reach for your inner self To proclaim your worth

I don't understand... I don't understand what reality is. You can't bridge the gap between your own truth and the reality of others. I don't know where to find happiness. So you only find happiness in your dreams. Then... this is not reality? No. It is only a dream. This convenient fabrication is your attempt to change reality. Is that wrong? You were using fantasy to escape reality. Then why can't I dream that I'm alone? That is not a dream. That is a substitute for reality. This world is overflowing with sorrow. I hate you. It's people are drowning in emptiness. I can't stand the sight of you. And loneliness fills their hearts. How disgusting...

Sunrise Behind the darkest eclipse Move through me Chill the lost demons of my soul It's bitterness is closing in I call upon the vast eternal bleak sky My innocence is smothered Bring me silver lined fog of death Wind Carry my body through the last shame I beseech you for I crave solitude tonight Moonlight Grant me the power to lose free will It only enhances my decent Unto hell fire In my eyes Frozen in loss and shame I see my past flash in a glance In my eyes Frozen in loss and shame I see my past flash in a glance

So… Is this really the end? It seemed so far away But I must have gone astray My words are worthless All this fear As it's closing in So much doubt Will we see this through? Silent night I've lost my sight No morning will rise again In a memory condemned My words are worthless All this fear As it's closing in So much doubt Will we see this through? I am facing my sorrows And I stare back Through my eyes Senses failing Will you be there for me love? Now that you've seen what I am I'm sure it is far too much for one soul to bare Am I really worth your care? Facing my sorrows And I stare back Through my eyes Senses failing Will you be there for me? I won't waste another day Time so quickly slips away Until the last moments I am facing my sorrows And I stare back Through my eyes Senses failing Will you be there for me love?

"I hate... I hate... I hate everything. And I hate myself the most I don't care about anything anymore There's no point." "You posses a false body and a fake soul. Do you know why?" "I am neither false nor fake. I am simply me." "No... You are an empty shell with a false soul. You are just an object that is pretending to be a human. Look deep within yourself. Do you perceive the almost intangible and invisible presence that lurks below your waking self? Inside your darkest dreams? It is there that your true identity lies..." "No, I am me. I became myself by the instrumentality of the links and relationships between myself and others. I am formed by interaction with others. They create me as I create them. These relationships and interactions will serve to shape the patterns of my heart and mind." "But there is someone else who is your true self. This is what you fear." Lying in a dark corner The last candle light is dying out Trying to refuse this suffering As darkness burns my frail naked soul I faced my fears a thousand times Endless doubts; life of paranoia I try to find a way out From this state of suicidal urge I read with empty eyes the page As tears begin to fall down my face Another night alone with myself At one with melancholy and depression I fled because the dark is near I cry as I realize you can’t be here I needed to caress your skin in the night But now my only friend has left my life Why must I live with these fears? I know my only tragedy is my mind Sometimes I think I’m wasting all the joys And with this bitter thought I fear to die I feel so jaded now, so far away I can’t face the next morning with this pain Another thought lacerates my mind This time pray it will be the last I’m only trying to objectivate this hate To prove towards myself and life itself My words are nothing more than open wounds I cry to nobody in the night I only need to stop these sick death thoughts And cry for joy when you’ll be here again (These dreams seem impossible) I’ll watch you sleeping naked at my side I’ll kiss you and these thoughts will stop to flow "Don't do anything. Don't come near me. All you ever do is hurt me." Anyone can abandon you one day Life brings pain and suffering on our way Cut all ties, it’s simpler than it seems But in death you’ll know... Disheartenment always wins "I am happy. Because I want to die. I want despair. I want to return to nothing. But when everything is over And I am of no use anymore He will abandon me."

-lyrics by CircusP- Bring on the chill rain And we'll go back in time Everything's the same We've fallen into place Why does this keep happening? Crashing down with the lightning Smash my heart into pieces and sing These moments fall apart We've walked this path before You've said your lines, now it's Time to play my role once more And we'll restart The cycle again And we'll restart breaking each other again We're trapped in here, we're trapped in here for good I'm lost in here, I'm lost in here with you Together through and through Bring on the excuses Tell me that I deserve this Don't let me open my mouth Don't stop the rain from pouring down So, why does this keep on happening? We're crashing down with the lightning You smash my heart into pieces and then sing These moments are your fault I'm losing a rigged battle And you restart The cycle And you restart breaking me Again We're trapped in here, we're trapped in here for good I'm lost in here, I'm lost in here with you Together through and through These moments fall apart We've walked this path before You've said your lines, now it's Time to play my role once more And we'll restart The cycle again And we'll restart breaking each other We're trapped in here, we're trapped in here for good I'm lost in here, I'm lost in here with you Together through and through
