'Death is not the end' proclaimed the ill-fitting, turning black-to-grey, T-shirt. And you stare into this iron cage, a grasping void of self-doubt, knowing the reasons why (and your certain fate within it) but you just can't back away. Tip-toes on the crumbling edge, staring down. There is no love lost here, no hope of escape. And yet.... in you go, happily so. A moth into the light, in opposite formation. Deep down, spilling and twirling and longing to be let go. It requires an explanation, in a sense, but there aren't enough letters in the alphabet to form the words demanded by such horrors. How could there be? For this sound, such images, and the feelings generated... they are not of this world; Lynchesque in plot, narrative, angles, set design, acting. All of it. An identity, a long-player, is shaped in the knowing of what needs to be unlearnt and then built up again, reconstructed to a new set of plans. Past mistakes, no more, but the experience and biography shapes you. New foundations need to be established. Roots secured, in hope and promise. Room to grow, a nurturing. It's a farewell, to you, and then...

So painfully lovely to read, you m'dear have such a gift with words. 'Wasp' stings but in the most delightful way, I return again and again seeking the same sting.
ReplyDeleteTo be brutally honest, I'm not sure even I know what I am going on about half the time that I write here... and I don't just mean the semi-cryptic and slightly aloof/misguided thoughts and musing... BUT... I am glad it meant something to you, Gen. Thanks for your kind words. :) The album this track is from, 'Kammerspiel', is breathtaking. One of my favourites these last few weeks.
