Out of Reach

Todays track is simply one that I enjoy. While on the darker side, I guess it contrasts my mood which is actually quite good at the moment.

"Out of Reach" by Circle II Circle is just a great song. Hard and heavy handed, it opens strong and ends stronger even by slowing the pace. But then again great music can do that.

In the darkness that feeds your mind
In your cavernous seething eyes
You lost some things you never could replace
Tell me why
I see the forces that drive you
Who said I?
For you it's too late to see
Tell me why
Will they make you feel righteous?
Hear the cries
They'll flash their twisted faces across my screen

In a world ruled by obsession
Seeking retribution
Breathing pure aggression
A reflection of the hate that you must breed
You're out of reach
Out of reach

So you got to keep on with your sinister life
It's too late to change your mind
Your end will be violent and abrupt
Make sure what's done is done

Tell me why
I see the forces inside you
Who said I?
For you it's too late to see
Tell me why
Does it make you feel righteous?
To flash their twisted faces across my screen

In a world ruled by obsession
Seeking retribution
Breathing pure aggression
A reflection of the hate that you must breed

You're out of reach
You're out of reach
Out of reach
You're out of reach
Out of reach

Out of reach or simply beyond all grasp?

Watching in Silence

Well... well... well... Here's one that I've not played in sometime, but suddenly popped into mind.

I had someone offer me the best thought ever: if someone is stupid enough to walk away from you then you should be smart enough to let them go.

This brings me todays them tune...

Okay, so I'm biased to anything anyone from Savatage has ever done, but here's a track from Circle II Circle, "Watching in Silence":

Don't know why I feel
This way every night
Somehow lost my way
On this timeless flight All these feelings I keep locked up inside

I've pulled and twisted all those strings
And tried to mend these broken wings
Still inside the night I fly on

I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Watching in silence
Watching in silence again
Keep pushing on
I keep pushing on
Watching in silence
Inside the night as
All of the world
Is asleep

See me as I fly
So high in the night
All these feelings surround
This new gift of life
With these wings I'll fly
So high in the sky

I'll watch the world
As it goes down
It's buildings crumbled to the ground
The panic-ridden streets
Will cry on

I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Watching in silence
Watching in silence again
Keep pushing on
I keep pushing on
Watching in silence
Inside the night as
All of the world
Is asleep

You're feeling free
Apart from reality
All you do is run away

I'm falling from a hole in the sky
Once again don't know if I'll survive
Every second falling closer to the end
Broken wings of destiny
Spiral down again

You can feel the wind
Against your face
You cannot move
You're caught in place

I'm moving on
I'm moving on
Watching in silence
Watching in silence again
Keep pushing on
I keep pushing on
Watching in silence
Inside the night as
All of the world
Is asleep

I'm moving on, watching in silence. I'll keep pushing on... but I will survive. Broken wings or not... I will fly. And the world will remain asleep. Oblivious... while it remains constant, I can try to.
