''The glow is gone. (Işıltı kayboldu.)
My gliding body stopped. (Süzülen vücudum durdu.)
I could not get through september without a battle. (Eylülü savaşsız geçiremiyorum.)
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging but I heard my own breath and I had to face that I'm still living. (Ölümle yüzleştim. Kollarımı sallayarak içeri girdim ama orada kendi nefesimi duydum ve hâlâ hayatta olduğumla yüzleşmek zorundaydım.)
I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. (Ben hâlâ hayattayım. Korkunç duygulara tutunuyorum.)
I'm not dead. There's no end. My face is red. (Ölmedim ben. Bunun bir sonu yok. Yüzüm kırmızı.)
My blood flows harshly. (Kanım sert bir şekilde akıyor.)
My heart beats loudly. (Kalbim gürültülü bir şekilde atıyor.)
My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. (Göğsüm hâlâ nefes alıyor. Tutuyorum bunu. Canlıyım ben.)
There's no end.'' (Bir sonu yok.)
The Microphones - The Glow, Pt. 2
''A loaded gun won't set you free. (Dolu bir silah seni özgür kılmayacak.)
So you say. (Öyle diyor.)
We'll share a drink and step outside. (Bir içip dışarıya adım atacağız.)
An angry voice and one who cried. (Sinirli ve ağlamış birinin sesi.)
'We'll give you everything and more (''Sana her şeyi ve daha fazlasını vereceğiz)
The strain is too much, can't take much more.'' (Baskı çok fazla, daha fazla kaldıramıyorum.'')
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire. (Ah, suda yürüdüm, ateşler içerisinde koştum.)
Can't seem to feel it anymore. (Artık onu hissedemiyorum gibi gözüküyor.)
It was me, waiting for me, (Bendim o, beni bekleyen,)
Hoping for something more. (daha fazlasını uman bendim.)
Me, seeing me this time, (Bendim ben, bu sefer beni gören,)
Hoping for something else. (başka bir şeyler umut eden.)
Joy Division - New Dawn Fades
''The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides. And a dark wind blows. The government is corrupt, and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles. It went like this: the buildings tumbled in on themselves, mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upwards, everything washed in a thin orange haze. I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful; these are truly the last days". You grabbed my hand, and we fell into it. Like a daydream. Or a fever. We woke up one morning and fell a little further down, for sure is the valley of Death. I open up my wallet and it's full of blood.'' (Araba yanmıştı, direksiyon koltuğunda sürücü yoktu ve lâğımlar binlerce kimsesiz intiharla kirlenmiş durumdaydı. Ardından karanlık bir rüzgâr esti. Hükümet çürümüştü ve radyoların açılıp perdelerin çekilmesiyle birlikte bizler bir sürü uyuşturucunun etkisi altında kalmıştık. Bu korkunç makinenin karnında sıkışıp kaldık ve bu korkunç makine de kan kaybından ölüyordu. Güneş battı, reklam panoları kötü kötü bakıyordu ve bayrakların hepsi ölmüş durumdaydı. Ve bu, şöyle devam etti: Binalar kendi üstlerine devrildi, anneler yıkıntının içinden bebekleri tutup saçlarından yakalayarak çıkardılar. Şehrin silueti yangında çok güzel gözüküyordu, dönüp duran bütün metaller yukarı doğru uzadı, her şey turuncu bir pusla yıkandı. "Öp beni, çok güzelsin, bunlar kesinlikle son günler" dedim. Elimi tuttun ve tam içine düştük, bir düş veya havale geçirir gibi. Bir sabah uyandık ve biraz daha aşağıya düştük, burası ise kesinlikle ölüm vadisiydi. Cüzdanımı açtım ve içi kanla doluydu.)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Dead Flag Blues
Anyways, let's see, what else, I, I, uh, it was Coney Island, they called Coney Island "the playground of the world". There was no place like it, in the whole world, like Coney Island when I was a youngster. No place in the world like it. It was so fabulous! Now it's shrunk down to almost nothing, you see? Yeah, um, and, and, I still remember, in my mind, how things used to be. And, um, you know, I feel very bad, but people from all over the world came here. From all over the wor-there was a playground, they called it "the playground of the world", over here. Anyways, uh, you see, I, uh, you know, I even go-when I was a, when I was very small I even got lost in Coney Island, but they found me, on the, on, on the beach. And we used to sleep on the beach here, sleep overnight. They, I, they don't do it anymore, things changed, you see. They don't sleep anymore on the beach.''
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Sleep
''It's better to burn out than fade away.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my.
Rock and roll can never die.
There's more to the picture,
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.''
Neil Young - My My, Hey Hey (Out of the Blue)
''What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all 'round the sun.
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me.
Soft and sweet.
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me.
And one day we will die.
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea.
But for now we are young.
Let us lay in the sun.
And count every beautiful thing we can see.
Love to be.
In the arms of all I'm keepin' here with me.''
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
''White awakening puts me to sleep, letting me hear a peaceful song.
When my spring began, I did want nothing except for you.
Even after the wind has already passed, my soul did dream on.
Even after the wind has already passed, my soul was still shaking.
The scent of light getting concealed... I leave anything behind except for you.
White awakening puts me to sleep, letting me hear a peaceful song.''
Les Rallizes Dénudés - White Awakening // Version II
