I versi che ci fanno impazzire...

[Erotic.Nightmares]

Non parlo di testi completi, parlo di un singolo verso o una singola frase di un particolare brano. Io a volte mi fisso su una singola frase e ciocco malissimo, potrei riascoltare quei 5-10 secondi mille volte di seguito.

If I'm looking at the ceiling then I must be laying on the floor (Overkill - Elimination)

They don't know no they can't see our hearts close to the sun (Helloween - Savage)

Avoja, tipo

Even god's not an asshole like you

Judgement and condemnation on the lips of every hypocrite

My opinion is just a point of view and your position is the other side

etc etc

I lost my heart, I lost my soul
By every hand betrayed

Rising from the temple walls, time stands still when he calls

Ce ne sono tanti..
Anche di titoli..tipo "Can I Sit Next to You Girl".
Cose terra terra..
Mi arrapano.

calcolando che praticamente l'inglese non lo parlo :

Dying in the darkness
Now one of us
Bitten by the wolf
Now one of us
Carnivorous


Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will

Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud

I can say, here today, we shall stay forever. (JP)

E avevano ragione

[TheNeedleLies]

Questo mi fa venire ogni volta il magone:

"I appreciate your concern
But don't waste your time on me
I'm ashes on the water now
Somewhere far away
You think you came here just in time
But you're twenty years too late"

Marillion - Standing in the swing

Ma anche

"So here I am once more
In the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry
In a diary, self penned
Yet another emotional suicide
Overdosed on sentiments and pride"

Marillion - Script for a jester's tear

[Erotic.Nightmares]

I guess I've lost everything I've had, but I'm not dead, at least not yet (Lynyrd Skynyrd - Still Unbroken)

'Cause you know this has happened before, and you know that this moment in time is for real (Iron Maiden - Deja-Vu)

[None]

So I went to the doctor to see what he could give me
He said son, son you've gone too far
Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do
Yeah

Altrimenti @Ennio si preoccupa

[Ennio]

Sometimes you've got to be wrong
Learn the hard way
Sometimes you've got to be strong
When you think it's too late

Repentance | Dream Theater

I I, good for nothing
Going nowhere,
so they say

Strange Highways | Dio

The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell

Heaven and Hell | Black Sabbath

sono i primi tre che mi vengono in mente, che sento davvero molto.
Ma con calma ne aggiungerò ancora....

[Fenix]

I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
(Rainbow - Stargazer)

I never wanted to know, never wanted to see
I wasted my time, 'till time wasted me
Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
'Cause the person I am, are the parts that I play
(Savatage - Believe)

They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's heaven and hell
(Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell)

Travel on my friend, your story forever told...
From nothing you made a world your own
This is not the end, you'll always e by my side
When I feel like I can't go on anymore.....
(Witherfall - Vintage)

[Soulburner]

I demand nothing but i want it all
(In Flames - Embody The Invisible)

I was looking down at you smiling up at me
For once I held you tight, but shadowed arms grabbed at me
You're head was in the clouds, now those clouds are in your head

dredg - matroshka

[Cotlod]

Nel Metallo non ho molto da dire in quanto a singoli versi che si possano vergare nella pietra, ma permettetemi di essere banale:

"You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live for ever"
(Motorhead - Ace of Spades)

questa riassume un po' tutto l'HM.

[Re PANIC]

But this is the time and this is the place
And these are the signs that we must embrace
The moment is now, in all history
The time has arrived and this is the one place to be

Savatage - This is the time



There's got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance, another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again and again

Iron Maiden - Infinite dreams

[johnny blade]

Ho sempre avuto un occhio di riguardo in più verso i testi di Gillan.
Si passa da grandi doppi sensi ad altri diretti, crudi e bastardi.
Tanti.
In questi giorni pensavo a
dirty dog (dedicato a Blackmore)
I'll rip your spine out
Under the gun (pezzo bastardone che fa il verso a boy george..).



E altri..

Mi sudano sempre gli occhi.

Tutta la strofa che viene prima, ma che culmina in

Per spingerti al di là
Per scoprire ciò che solo Iddio sa.

Tutta la strofa che viene dopo, ma i brividi partono da qui

Com'è strano oggi il sole
Non si fa scuro, chissà perché
Forse la sera non verrà a uccidermi ancora
Ha avuto pietà solo ora

[The Healer]

Deliver us to evil
Deny us of our faith
Robotic hearts bleed poison
On the world we popolate
Virtual existence
With a superhuman mind
The ultimate creation
Destroyer of mankind
Termination of our youth
For we do not compute
No!

Black Sabbath - Computer God

Now, don't hang on
Nothin' lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy

Kansas - Dust in the wind


Every day you scream at me to turn the music low
Well if you keep on screaming, you'll make me deaf you know
You always chew me out, because I stay out late
Until your three-piece suit comes back in date, get one thing straight

Judas Priest - Parental Guidance


Then he starts to play.
Suddenly the pain slowly fades away.
Tattered, torn and frayed,
There's a place within his heart
He'd always saved for song and emotion.
Know he's got to his dyin' day, Song and emotion.
You can hear him play. You can still hear him say,
Better run for cover 'cause it looks like rain again!

Tesla - Song and emotion

Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode.
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records the first note.
We chime the bell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure.
Faster than steel, fortune on wheels
Brain haemorrhage is the cure.
Black metal
Black metal
Black metal
Black metal
Black metal
Lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll!


Ma anche questo non è male
Summon the dead
Baphomets call
Blood on my hands
Screaming in torment

Naturalmente lo scudetto va a
Other bands play Manowar kill

Questa in effetti è un bell'andare

Cartellino giallo per @None che ha postato un verso non Metal

(Altrimenti io avrei postato fin da subito il mio verso da pelle d'oca per eccellenza:

"The sun is in the east even though the day is done.
Two suns in the sunset, could be the human race is run"
(Roger Waters - Two Suns in the Sunset)

L'immagine di due soli al tramonto, di cui uno è ad est; per dire che è arrivata la bomba atomica e quindi la fine della razza umana, la musica che è una ballata dolce e rilassata... top...)

Prematurity is the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be
Prematurity is truly the story of both you and me, and we were always much more human than we wished to be
We were always much more human than we wished to be - we were always much more human than we wished to be
We will always be more human then we wish to be
We will always be so much more human than we wish to be

"Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream"
( Master of Puppets - Metallica)
Molto evocative a livello di immagini descritte e descrivono bene lo stato di sudditanza alla sostanza

Fuori gara metto i testi completi di "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" e "One" sempre di Jaimz e soci.

Life in the attic
I like my rocking chair
Staring in shadows
Crouched in the corner
Waiting for something
Laughing at nothing

Who's there?
Ah!
No one there.
You're not me!

(Lost Reflection - Crimson Glory)

Grandissimo pezzo

A me fa sballare quando il verso replica il nome dell'album, in un brano non omonimo, tipo:

"And though the time will come WHEN DREAM AND DAY UNITE
Tonight the only consolation causing him to fight
Is fearless faith in destiny"
In Only a Matter of Time, nel sottovalutato debut dei dreamoni (per me un capolavoro).

Oppure:
"I see the rainbow rising", in Stargazer, dei Rainbow.
Qui ancora meglio perchè si dice sia il nome del gruppo, che quello dell'album.

Poi vabbè di versi da lacrime ce ne sono veramente troppi, così su due piedi:
"My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly my friends"
Da, The show must go on, dei Queen, ero solito scrivere questo verso da qualche parte il giorno dell'annivesario di morte di Freddie, e mi saliva il magone.
Non oso immaginare che emozione deve essere stata per Brian scrivere questa roba, e per Freddie, cantarla.

"There’s an angel standing in the sun
And he’s crying with a loud voice
“This is the supper of the mighty one”
Lord of Lords, King of Kings
Has returned to lead his children home
To take them to the new Jerusalem"
Da Supper's Ready, dei Genesis.
Questa commistione di vita quotidiana, storia, religione, epica, ermetica, mi fa impazzire, ho citato questo verso, ma tutta la prima e l'ultima parte di Supper's Ready è pura poesia.

"Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again"
Blood Brothers, Iron Maiden

Vabbè mi fermo qui se no non la finisco più...
