a song about left out options and choices. written in a hotel room in berlin.
lyrics
In this room there is only
one pair of eyes
which finds itself in three simple framed mirrors
two in the bathroom
and one on the way to the door
the air is stale and smells like the hotel floor
the next step
given up to soon
all these piled up options
left for dead in bloom
the next spark
burned out to soon
all these piled up options
left for dead in bloom
it took all day for the loneliness to get pressed
to one hard lump
ripe without any use
now it fits into a glas
the next step
given up to soon
all these piled up options
left for dead in bloom
the next spark
burned out to soon
all these piled up options
left for dead in bloom
just the sound of the street
flows through the window
and the head is crammed
starring occasionally out of the window
just to find again
this one pair of eyes
meaningless because well known
sleep calls
opiate like
the time capsule to the next overfilled vacuum

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
