lyrics

There is something about that night that I still can’t quite wrap my head around, fractured into parts, and I’m piecing them together to understand its whole, to understand that maybe the lifestyle is getting old. The bottom of the bottle is not so friendly anymore. Maybe I ought to search for clarity elsewhere than in the shadows of this (god damned) city. Images of us driving in circles, getting stoned for six god damn years. “Choose with whom you spend your time wisely kid” I wish you’d have put more weight into these words. This morning my plate looked like a combination of splinters and needles, scraping my esophagus, sharp as shards. I think I might split this meal. These nights have taken more than they’ve left me with, I feel it in my bones. Caught my reflection in the kitchen window, it reminded me of your brother on Sundays, when he would sit at the table and stare at the wall. These nights are wearing me thin, or maybe they’ve just run their course, and I’m seeking something with a little more meaning than depression at sunrise. I’m trying to get better. I’m trying to get better, and if anything it’s for myself.

An Extraconscious Lucidity [Remastered]
by Mare Cognitum

supported by 4 fans who also own “Breakfast of Champions”

Plutôt que de remasteriser The Sea Which Has Become Known, pourquoi le faire avec An Extraconscious Lucidity ? Parce que c'est avec ce dernier que Mare Cognitum entrait de plain-pied dans le sous-genre du black metal cosmique. Je ne peux pas vraiment faire de hiérarchie entre cette version et l'originale parce qu'elles ne font pas passer exactement les mêmes émotions : celle-ci permet de mieux entendre les atmosphères et elle prend une dimension plus épique, surtout dans la deuxième moitié.
