Melencolia One Songtext
von Subsignal

Light of one bright start
The showers of Saturn
Brooding in black thoughts
The winged woman′s gloom
Sunken in the night

Hold your head in your hands
As the hours pour away
Hide your face in contemplation
Shroud your eyes from all the strain outside

I love the gentle rain
The poetry it spills
How it softens pain
What I've built feels like a lifetime of loss


Paint my chest with darkness
Fill the empty space inside
Free your art from chains and shadows•
H why do I feel so low
Her breath moves in and out of me
Her craft will never end
She can fill you up with sorrow
And the scars will never mend

So tell me what it is lik
The balanced and the wise
So tell me what it feels like
To be free from all I have to feel
Her touch is poison, it′s coming in waves
She knows of beauty and beauty must die
So tell me what it feels like
To stand up, to endure
The power of her sadness
And the sadness of her might
She's a machine that will never wear out
She is a word that will start the blank page

We are the ones who must serve in her host
Suffering ones and the sentient outcast
And our weakness is strength but our strength is a weight
And we'll never be free cause she′ll never let go, oh


Her love is sadness, her kiss is the cure
She is the hand that is pulling all strings
Her love is divine in fathoms of hell
Her touch is a poison and her poison is me

So tell me what it is like
The balanced and the wise
So tell me what it feels like
To be free from all I have to feel
Her touch is poison, the pain comes in waves
She knows of beauty and beauty must die
So tell me what it feels like
To stand up and endure
The power of her sadness
And the sadness of her might
She′s a machine that will never die down
She is a hand that will move the first string
