SHINING LYRICS

1. I Och Med Insikt Skall du Förgå

Det är kallt här i degga ödemarker
Vakumförpackade desperation, kallare lär det bli
Du påbörjade tomhänt, består med mindre än så
Sag mig vännen min: är du nöjd?
Så stirra nu ned i den becksvarta tomhet du kallar för framtid;
Låt dig se, låt det ske...

2. Vemodets Arkitektur

I många år nu har jag vandrat denna repititionens sällsamma stig
Gennomsyrad utav illviljans förslavande brilljans
Jag påbörjar den färd jag rest smaklöst antal ganger förinnan
Om och om igen faller jag in i samma kolsvarta mörker
Om och om igen, drunknar jag i min eget förvållad gråzon
Sekund som sekund, minut som minut
Dag som dag, natt som natt
Vecka som vecka, månad som månad
Liv som liv, död som död

3. Någonting Är Jävligt Fel

Ingen kur kan hela den icke befintliga sjukdom jag bär
En tvångstankens cancersvulst, våldsam men med storartad precision
Konstruerad att till varje pris förvärra min leda
Strålande, pulserande pina, förädlad i sinne, kött och själ
Att välkomna, vårda samt att älska

4. Eradication of the Condition

Ambivalence in the rising, as darkness comes binding
Methods of purest salvation, cannot solve the riddles of cosmic creation
A vision of everything burnt to the ground, a vision of a trampled racial crown
Atop the mountain ridge, thousand are the sights that relentlessly itch
It's a golden projection, a blessed opportunity
The final direction, I will not be!

5. The Eerie Cold (Samvetskvalens Ballad)

"I think we ought to start our life old. And we have all the pain, and we're feeble. And we look at our friends, and they're feeble, they're 100. But every day we get younger, and we have something to look forward to. No need to kill yourself, there's hope. And then when
you reach 20, 19, 12, 10...every day is really a new day. And it's really a miracle. And then you're a baby, and you don't know your life is ending, you just suck on your mother's tit and then you die..."
[quote from the film "She's So Lovely"]

6. Claws Of Perdition

A suicidal haze, unreal like a torturous dream
Old stinging mental wounds, still raw and fucking bleeding

Drowning in the womb of misery, the mother of depression
The slaughter of all hope, the grim death of compassion

Sell your soul to evil; sell your soul to death

...Suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide...

A dead empty stare into the ruins of my world
A world I have already left so many years ago

"There are no more barriers to cross.
All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it, I have now surpassed.
My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone; in fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others.
I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling.
This confession has meant nothing."
[The quote from the movie American Psycho (2000)]
