about

this little story goes out to all the schizophrenic people out there.

we feel with you.

we all feel with you.

lyrics

The Phone always rings at night.
A sonor dry repetative cry.
Alarming but still expected.
He picks up. Every time.

Like a silent confession.
With an open end.

No Voice.
Just Silence.
Sometimes_ a silent breathing.
Not as_ if composed by lust.
No Voice.
Just Silence.
Sometimes_ a silent breathing.
Not as_ if composed by lust.

Just breathe.
someone listening.
And knowing.
The past is present.

Still no words

Just breathe.
someone listening.
And knowing.
The past is present.

Still no mouth
Just a speaker
like a wound

A vibrant stitch through his ear
opens the door to a bottomless pit
in his mind where nothing ever hits the floor

the discovery
that the line has been dead for years
left him in cold sweat
left weight on his chest
this changes everything
and nothing changes

whom can you trust
if not even yourself

there's fourty million schizophrenic worldwide
go ahead
dial dunkelziffer
Go ahead
...dial dunkelziffer!
Look over your shoulder
Whom can you trust
if not even yourself?

Are these people staring at you?
dial dunkelziffer
look over your shoulder
whom can you trust
if not even yourself?
Pick up the phone!
A Dead Line
A dead End
No Bell Ringer
No Recipient
Whom can you trust?

A Dead Line!
A dead End!
No Bell Ringer!
No Recipient. Whom can you trust
if not even yourself? Dial dunkelziffer!

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 13 fans who also own “Dunkelziffer”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
