Yes, another haha. The lyrics reference Elan, which is the other Nightwish song I listen to for Thal/Nim, so they are thematically similar/linked anyway.

Starset is an interesting group to me. They tell sci-fi stories set in a post-apocalyptic world. Their albums follow an arc of a character or characters struggling against the control of mind-brain machines as a metaphor for technology overtaking our world. This particular song, "Trials" shows our main character falling in love and then losing that love. This particular album is set in 2049...
Quote:"Starset’s concept may come across as epochal doom -- a tech-ridden future pulling us from our innate, human intuitions -- but Bates says the band and message are not anti-technology at all; quite the opposite. “We have been saved by technology,” he observes. “Technology has doubled our life expectancies, allowed for increased civilization and replaced endless hunger and workdays with the potential for recreation.” For me, this concepts represents Seven by substituting for channeling for the tech metaphor the album. In addition, the central theme of this particular song resonates strongly as him and his past lives. Music video: 'These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are We're motivated by the scars that we're made of These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are We take our places in the dark And turn our hearts to the stars'

Fenrir? This is Slavic-inspired, so has nothing to do with Vikings at all, but every time I hear it makes me think of Fenrir breaking free at Ragnarok. At points its sounds really conflicted. Vataha means pack. I'll post the lyrics below, though I'm not sure they have any relevance. When the vocals first kick in it reminds me of when Tristan went all white-eyed and travelled through the pack to send the wolves against Sierra's parents. I have no idea what actual myth it's inspired by. if anyone else likes this kinda stuff, the rest of the album is worth a listen, it's all Slavic/general pagan influenced. The language is Belarusian if anyone's curious. The Roundelay of Flame reaps of lightning. The Wheel of Fire meets us. Whistling sound of steel is breaking a weapons. There screams of mutilated human souls in the towers on the shoulders of giants. Muted voice of gray steel in our veins calling to battle. Hands in the dirt, the body in the blood, the spear in the ribs, we are with you. Give us weapons, give us eyes and we will go like the horror on the Earth. Give us the violence that would be the blood streams flowed through the land. My hands are mutilated by quern. I was baptized in blood and honey. Cross and the fire will be clean me of dirt. In the fire, I'll save you. I will save you. I will save myself. Rays of light on your body. I want to touch you. Come to me. Your body is my desire.

Something for Jay.
Although the history repeating itself sounds like Jaxen. Madness by All That Remains History repeats itself Over and over again and again Why should we escape ourselves We are who we are in the end In the end Over and over again Over and over again This is madness, madness And you know that this is madness, madness And you know that this is never-changing, it's always in this way Conceal the madness, madness Enemies who once were friends Round and around till we know how it ends I can't believe how sickening All the love lost we can't even pretend Over and over again Over and over again This is madness, madness And you know that this is madness, madness And you know that this is never-changing, it's always in this way Conceal the madness, madness This is madness, madness And you know that this is madness, madness And you know that this is never-changing, it's always in this way Conceal the madness, madness
Yeah, that definitely suits Jay.

[Verse 1] Remember when you asked me to paint you all my dreams I told you a sailboat no compass just us and an open sea I’ll sing like a siren, our island is floating The sail in the blue sky is our only curtain I’ll show you a spiral Staircase that only your eyes can see [Chorus] I’ll spin your walls around Around like spirals Won’t you go all the way down Down like spirals, like spirals Like spiral stairs to a cave by the ocean Unravel all for you All for you All for you All for you All for you All for you [Verse 2] Remember when our paradise was green grapevines and leaves Do you remember when the shorelines grew for you and me I’ll build you a house where the hallways will always Lead you to bedrooms where I will be waiting I’ll show you a spiral Staircase that only your eyes can see |
