Tee-vee
Honest to god the most solid prog metal (not to mention the J-pop, modern pop and orchestral sounds) concept album I've heard in a long time, batshit insane sound design, excellent riffs, vocal work and production, plus narrative and leitmotives tying in with the previous album. DAMN I'm going to spin this so much
Favorite track: ECHO FROM THE PAST.
Why don't you hold my hand ?
On your own you can't
I'll keep for me my ideas
You shattered all of my dreams
Why don't you hold my hand ?
On your own you can't
知彼知己 勝乃不殆
知月知地 勝乃可全
Guess you will not
Be the first of us to bend
To put an end to this anger that you sought
If you're my friend
Why did you choose to pretend?
Years are passing by and yet nothing change
Come on
Give me something
I can rely on
If you don't feel nothing
I'll just have to be on my own
Say something
It's like I can hear your voice again
Memories are gone but the feeling lasts
You're just an echo from the past
You're just an echo from the past
I will find a way
It's like I can hear your voice again
Memories are gone but yet the feeling lasts
You're just an echo from the past
You're just an echo from the past
Beware, out of my way
知彼知己 勝乃不殆
知月知地 勝乃可全
Please stop sinking
With all what we believed in
Those stars fragments
Waving farther than it seems
If i'm nothing
I'll go by myself get them
I won't let you drown our dreams
It's like I can hear your voice again
Memories are gone but the feeling lasts
You're just an echo from the past
You're just an echo from the past
I will find a way
It's like I can hear your voice again
Memories are gone but yet the feeling lasts
You're just an echo from the past
You're just an echo from the past
Beware, out of my way
You're nothing without me did you forget?
Why don't you hold my hand?
On your own you can't
Why don't you hold my hand?
On your own you can't
Do you need to always act so strong?
Always sad because you need me
If I have to I'll do it on my own
Life will go on
If I have to I'll do it on my own
Reason
Reason
Reason
Reason
Follow the plan
To understand
You should hold my hand
On your own you can't
知彼知己 勝乃不殆
知月知地 勝乃可全
It's like I can hear your voice again
Memories are gone but the feeling lasts
You're just an echo from the past
You're just an echo from the past
I will find a way
It's like I can hear your voice again
Memories are gone but yet the feeling lasts
You're just an echo from the past
You're just an echo from the past
Beware, out of my way
The start the end
All rules shattered
All seems to change
And for me the world is in reverse
The start, the end
In front, behind
Forward, backward
I feel like the world is in reverse
I wish I could go back in time
To change the things that hurt my mind
To be a child who starts his life
Before the whole world leaves me alone
I know it's impossible to start over
I know someday everything comes to an end
But I feel like I could have done something more
To fulfil my dreams before I go
I wish I could go back in time
To change the things that hurt my mind
To be a child who starts his life
Before the whole world leaves me alone
Heart with a fate
Immaculate
Heart that was stained
Tainted with hate
I can save your dreams and so I'll go
I wish I could go back in time
To change the things that hurt my mind
To be a child who starts his life
Before the whole world leaves me alone
The start, the end
Go back in time
In front, behind
That hurt my mind
Forward, backward
Child who starts his life
I feel like the world is in reverse
The name's unknown
Hiding in a shiny glow
I will always be there for you
The alarm has rung
Think I have slept enough, I'm waking up
Fresh air in my lungs
I'm leaving for the moon, I can't explain
The alarm has rung
Think I have slept enough, I'm feeling a
Power in my hands
Will I change things or just follow the plans ?
Oh wo-o-oh, oh wo-o-oh
I wanted to be someone else
Oh wo-o-oh, metamorphose
The name's unknown
Hiding in a shiny glow
I go through thousand nights
To see hope in your eyes
You'll think I'm gone
Because you will never know
It was me all along
I'm the New Magical Girl
I'm flying among
Many horizons that stay undone
The tip of my tongue
Asks if I'm sleeping on it for so long
Oh wo-o-oh, oh wo-o-oh
Could do so many miracles
Oh wo-o-oh, metamorphose
The name's unknown
Hiding in a shiny glow
I go through thousand nights
To see hope in your eyes
You'll think I'm gone
Because you will never know
It was me all along
I'm the New Magical Girl
Your Magical Girl
Makes regrets fade away
The name's unknown
Hiding in a shiny glow
I will always be there for you
I will always be there for you
I will always be there I am your
Magical Girl
No need to justify
That's fine you're alright
There's only me and I
That's fine you're alright
Words are kept unlike the souls that divide
You cannot tell who is wrong, who is right
Words are kept unlike the souls that divide
You cannot tell
You cannot tell
It doesn't make sense sense sense
It doesn't make sense sense sense
No need to justify
That's fine you're alright
It doesn't make sense sense sense
It doesn't make sense sense sense
Don't you know that winning just one battle
Don't mean you won the war
Always trying to reach for the stars
You'll end up crashing to the floor
Go higher, 'cause
Better the view
Also the deadlier the fall
I'll burn myself all of your feathers
Fake our bond to strike harder
So will you follow us
Or are you against us?
I don't care 'bout the others
Either you follow
Or it's you against us
I'll aim for your weaknesses
At the moment you'll less expect it
I can wait for the right moment
To be sure you will receive it
I'll tear apart all of our dreams
You'll see how much you fade on me
So will you follow us
Or are you against us?
I don't care 'bout the others
You want me to shout louder?
So will you follow us
I'll show my true colors
I'm not scared to overdose
Either you follow
Or it's you against us
So I walk alone, always on my own, waiting for the dawn
So will you follow us
Or are you against us?
I don't care 'bout the others
You want me to shout louder?
So will you follow us
I'll show my true colors
I'm not scared to overdose
Either you follow
Or it's you against us
兵者,詭道也
故能而示之不能
用而示之不用
近而示之遠
That's the moment
In an instant
One single stone
Hits the road
In its fall
Brings the whole mountain down
It's so violent
Almost ardent
The raging wind
That tears dead leaves apart
Brings us back to the start
I gave you warnings
Nobody's listening
We could have avoided everything
I know that I won't let you go
My hands still hold the ground crumbling under you
I know that I won't let you go
My hands are still reaching for you
If your world is turning upside down
There are other fates that I can find
Light to shadow, only one thin line
There are other fates that I can find
Don't go under
Find your way
Through the lightning
In the thunder my voice is echoing
Why is it happening?
Now we are struggling
In the thunder my voice is echoing
I know that I won't let you go
My hands still hold the ground crumbling under you
I know that I won't let you go
My hands are still reaching for you
If your world is turning upside down
There are other fates that I can find
Light to shadow, only one thin line
There are other fates that I can find
If your world is turning upside down
There are other fates I can find
If your world is turning upside down
There are other fates I can find
Light to shadow, only one thin line
There are other fates I can find
If your world is turning upside down
There are other fates I can find
Light to shadow, only one thin line
There's one fate I can find
No I won't hold your hand
If you don't understand
No I won't hold your hand
If you fight until the end
There are some times you can't calculate
You'll have to forget
And there are sometimes
One must back away
So one can find another way
But who would choose to
Risk it all of the things we hold on to
Just to prove that it can't hurt you
You're shying away
You're pushing away
All of us who know that the real courage
It's to let it go
You stay in the rain
We cannot turn the page
But the real courage
Let it go
Yeah, we all want
To go back in time to change the present
To change our regrets
So we can be complacent
We all want
To keep what we have, we are determined
But whose choice, whose fault if I am determined
I wanna rise be above men
Think outside the cave there must be something
But there is no victory in dying
Cause winning without
Fighting is the acme of skill
You're shying away
You're pushing away
All of us who know that the real courage
It's to let it go
You stay in the rain
We cannot turn the page
But the real courage
It's to let it go
It's to let it go
It's to let it go
That's the real courage
Let go
Once again how could I know
What kind of fears that your lies hold within
And why should I go
Uncover dreams
It seems
The fate I was redrawing
Still remains a faux
I don't mind fighting
In the shadow there is no statu quo
You have to give in
I don't know when you've changed
You stoop so low
I can't be the only one to bow
Even if you are the one to blame
I want you to call my name
So
Once again
I'll find you once again
I want to see you smile again
Once again
I'll find you once again
If you change your heart
I'll hold your hand
Learning
To lose to win
To know that you're not broken
You are becoming
Even if you are the one to blame
I want to hear you call my name
Why would you choose to
Remain blind to lose that game
Once again
I'll find you once again
I want to see you smile again
Once again
I'll find you once again
If you change your heart
I'll hold your hand
Now it's so hard
To keep you from spiraling into the void
I'll hold you tight
I won't let you go
Is it the reality you try to avoid?
Even if you are the one to blame
I want to hear you call my name
Why would you choose to
Remain blind to lose again
Once again
I'll find you once again
I want to see you smile again
Once again
I'll find you once again
If you change your heart
I'll hold your hand
If you change your heart
I'll hold your hand
It doesn't make sense sense sense
It doesn't make sense sense sense
Ego takes over you
It's too late for prayer
It doesn't make sense sense sense
It doesn't make sense sense sense
You'll be alone my dear
No one will shed a tear
You'll be alone my dear
Ego takes over you
It's too late for prayer
Just give up this fire
It's too late for prayer
How could you express any regrets at all
If you've never lived it all ?
How could you raise up, how could you learn to fall
If you've never lived it all ?
I can brave storms and tides
Dig in your past, by your side
I hoped you would leave your pride
But you never tried at all
I'll keep inside our memories
All that's left for you to see
The start, the end
Who cares in the end ?
You try to change
The whole world to your will but you can't
I wasted so much time trying to reverse
To transcend all rules, to go back to bygone days
Tried to bring in tomorrow feels of yesterday
When it doesn't make sense : we're not born, we become
How could you express any regrets at all
If you've never lived it all ?
How could you raise up, how could you learn to fall
If you've never lived it all ?
I'll keep inside our memories
All that you will have to see
I'll keep inside our memories
You won't believe it but just wait and you'll see
From power to desire
The start, the end
Who cares in the end ?
You try to change
The whole world to your will but you can't
The start, the end
Cycle never-ends
And you're so scared
The world keeps going, you start to fade
I can brave storms and tides
Dig in your past, by your side
I hoped you would leave your pride
But you never tried at all
And yet I still hope and I wait
And I wait
I wait
And I wait
I'll keep inside our memories
You won't believe it but just wait and you'll see
I'll keep for me all my dreams
I go back to you, I hope and I wait
知彼知己 勝乃不殆
知月知地 勝乃可全
知彼知己 勝乃不殆
知月知地 勝乃可全
There are sometimes
You must make a choice
Must know when to go
I'll withdraw my voice
I'll do it alone
'Cause you'll never have the guts
And once again
I'll rewrite it all just one last time again
When nothing makes sens sens sens
I'm just an echo from the past
The name's unknown, hiding in a shiny glow
I was never really there
Don't you know, you won the battle yeah
Even though there was no war
My world will be forever upside-down
Why don't you hold my hand ?
Without you I can't
Why don't you hold my hand ?
Without you I can't
I'll keep inside our memories
All the things we could have been
Hide my eyes, and face the wall
Don't look back, you have to go
Don't cry because it's over now
Smile because you lived it all
It's easier to hate me so
Just one lie you'll never know
Don't cry because it's over now
Smile because you lived it all
I'll keep inside your memories
I know that the real courage
It's to let it go
The start, the end
Who cares in the end ?
You try to change
The whole world to your will but you can't
The start, the end
Cycle never-ends
And you're so scared
The world keeps going, you start to fade
It's before my eyes
Her ideas, in my spirit last
It's just an echo from the past
Through my fingers I
Feel the shine that was in her eyes
A flame that enlights only me
That enlights only me
I'll bury in me all the memories
I'll start writing the future of my own stories
(Why don't you hold my hand ?)
I'm staring at the falling stars
(Why don't you hold my hand ?)
Just to find you
And I still can see
All the true colors of her voice
They say that she sings just for me
Only for me
So I'll bury in me the memories
A hollow crater I should overwrite
(Why don't you hold my hand ?)
I'm staring at the falling stars
(Why don't you hold my hand ?)
Just to find you
When nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to change
Everything ties to you
So why don't you hold my hand?
I'll look for you until the end
Because I need you
Because I need you
To know where I go
Why don't you hold my hand?
Why don't you hold my hand?
(Why don't you hold my hand ?)
I'm staring at the falling stars
(Why don't you hold my hand ?)
Just to find you
When nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to change
Everything ties to you
So why don't you hold my hand?
I'll look for you until the end
I'll look for you until the end
I'll look for you until the end

Tout est absolument fabuleux dans l'univers d'Alt236, la musique, la chaine youtube, le type. Non franchement j'adore cet univers qui à la faculté fascinante de canaliser ma mélancolie latente.
Merci à lui et à AL9000. dr_spook
