It's times like these...

Sometimes, you don't know what you're craving until it tears free of your speakers, grabs you by the throat and screams "SNAP OUT OF IT!" right in your face.

Today has been one of those times.


I've had a head full of fog and cobwebs for days now... every time I try to focus my thoughts, things slip unseen into the mist. Fortunately, I'm so close to freedom that I could rip a hole in the wall to find it waiting for me. It's taken a while to remember that I had the claws for it, though...

I may as well have been sleepwalking when I headed home tonight. Like any other night, I opened a folder of notes and sat at my computer - hours and weeks merge, fading into featureless grey. Like any other night, I absently turned on some background music to drown out the drone in my head. Unlike so many recent nights, I cranked the volume up loud enough for a song to drag me out of my stupor. And drag me it did... there's just something about a band who can call their first demo disc "Total Fucking Darkness" with a perfectly straight face :)

Time to tear down these walls and let the sky back in. I've stalled here too long.

Heavens above
Fear the gorgon eyes of a new caste rising
Expect no love
When they enter your golden halls

On sanguine floods
Hear the foregone cries of the last surviving
Skewered like doves
Outside these wailing walls

Those lyrics... Was the artist Cradle of Filth or is that just a coincidence?

Yep - it's the song listed under Current Music... I usually try to put in the artist/song title if it's different to the music listed.

Nymphetamine is a great album - I've listened through it a couple of times since posting this entry :)
