[clown_17]

On GP - Death Grips

 

[OICU812]

I had a whole playlist made for my failed attempt... Songs like Pink Floyd "Goodbye Cruel World" and Nine Inch Nails "Hurt".
But one of my new favorites is Ulrich Schnauss "Goodbye". The song fades out at 2:30 signifying the death of someone close.
It's definitely a headphones type of song, the lyrics are hard to understand.
...
"Clouds all around
Take away all my fear
Let me fall asleep"

 

[11April]

I would like to share the lyrics of one of the songs of my favorite artist - Dolphin.
This is a Russian-speaking artist, but I found a translation of this song into English. The song is called "Snowman".

Spoiler: Text in English

One day spring will come
And take me home
And blue skies will open above my head

Spring will cry and hold me with her warmth
And I will rest my tearful face on her shoulder

Where have you been for so many years,
So many sleepy winters?
I'm so tired of keeping a secret that I'm loved

But the night is blackened by pain
I'm looking through the icy window
There's a transparent tape of reflection
And nothing more

Spring will come after me
With ringing sun into emptiness
She never lies
She knows that I'm waiting

Spoiler: Text in Russian

Когда-нибудь придет весна
И заберет меня домой.
И голубые небеса
Вдруг распахнуться надо мной.
Весна расплачется, обняв
Меня своим теплом.
И я уткнусь в ее рукав
Заплаканным лицом.

Где ты была так много лет?
Так много сонных зим?
Я так устал хранить секрет
О том, что я любим.
Но в черную от боли ночь
Гляжу сквозь льда окно.
Прозрачный отраженья скотч,
И больше ничего.

Весна придет, за мной придет
Звенящим солнцем в пустоту.
Она же никогда не врет,
Она же знает, как я жду.
Весна придет, за мной придет
Звенящим солнцем в пустоту.
Она же никогда не врет,
Она же знает, как жду.

In his work, spring is a symbol of death. That is, when saying "spring will come," it means that death will come.

This song is not really about ctb, but rather about the expectation of death, but about something desired and long-awaited.

The last lines especially touch me:

"Spring will come after me" - this is pronounced with horror, but at the same time with expectation and reverence;
"With ringing sun into emptiness" - death is the only salvation that will illuminate the darkness and emptiness in the soul;
"She never lies" - death is inevitable;
"She knows that I'm waiting" - and is long-awaited.

Snowman is an anthropomorphic character. And spring comes with warmth - the snowman melts, "dies".

Spoiler: Music clip

In the video, a girl in the image of spring (death) walks for a long time, but in the end "kills" winter. The snow is starting to melt.

"Spring will cry and hold me with her warmth
And I will rest my tearful face on her shoulder" - the snowman melted, the tears ended.

Perhaps for an English-speaking listener the text will seem too primitive, or, conversely, too complex. The same way many songs in English sound to me.
But I tried to explain as best I could. I hope it worked.
