Floodland : Nameless
Lyrics
1. NOUS TRAIN
And the train arrives on platform number 9
Late at evening and I wonder if it is in time
But the score-board says 'sorry, no rail is announced tonight'
so I assume it disappeared somewhere from my line of sight
Within another year, just a week delay, time is just an image of my fright
Another hour passing, one more minute's gone, seconds stretching longer every night
There are not so many travellers waiting on the platform 9
To be honest it´s only me lingering there alone
Cause like the score-board said, no train will come and pick me up
And when the dawn has broken I'm going home
And no train is leaving this abandoned place in all the passing years
That I've been waiting there for you
And no train is coming to relief me from this endless watch
'Cause there is just a simple thing I didn't know : the station's closed at night...
Another railway, a different day, still on platform 9
I brought you flowers, just in case you should arrive
'She'll be on the next train', the score-board said
But it is deserted, maybe I was too late
And I remember straying on the platform 9
A passenger without intention, still feeling fine...
2. MORON
I watch the pointer slowly moving to the last of four
Though still shifting it´s engaging, I am observing the door
Will you come like you did say to me the other day
Or did you meet a pleasant person that simply crossed your way ?
In my dreams I am the one you have met the other day, when our life began
Calmed my mind so many times, all will be better soon
Then received an opposing message by the cruel telephone
I said to me just make her presents, something big
Thought, believed, done, it was useless, again I wore the jester's wig
In my dreams I am the one you have met the other day, when our life began
In your eyes I am the moron, not at all a superstar, who's donating you the sun
Still I find the pointer creeping to the first of four
Woke up next to you yet sleeping, I forgot to guard the door
Hard to say if I will bother like I did through all the nights
In the end it doesn't matter, so let's quit perpetual fights
3. WE ARE BORED
Now the day has come to extinguish persistent dreams
An abandoned seduction to delete the bathetic themes
And we want to amuse, no one should have to cry
Benediction will rain, mournful words are a lie
'Cause we are bored of the stupid things we said, all the sadness that's been spread, and the people we have met
They must all have felt the same, we've to put up with the shame
We didn't bear in mind all the shrinking violets
We kicked into misery, wakefull in their canopy beds
And we want to enlight, no more fear you should bear
We are here for you and we will take care
But after all we are thankful for the things we will now negate
Sometimes embarrassed about our twisted head
But we want to be neat, clean and pure beyond doubt
No more bricks to shit, does this look like a fraud ?
4. OBLIVION
I'm sitting in a greenhouse as the evening falls
Shadows are dancing on the ground as a recent memory calls
A topic filled with sadness assorted with some joy
A feeling always strong but coy
And its name is oblivion, gentle wraiths in everyone
Ghostly but always dashing schemes
And its name is oblivion, mellow inklings on the run
Washed out but steady in your dreams
And I have been in all these years together with your life
A dream about the yesterday, swirling through the hive
And my time is in the waves, I will swim with you, my pal
Mostly it's calm before the gal
Regretfull, I was * respectfull, I've been
Sands, I strained * and the tears, I've seen
And its name is oblivion, gentle dreams for everyone
Ghostly but always in your mind
And its name is oblivion, recognize they seem undone
Persistent but always hard to find...
5. TIME
And we stand against your wish for being fine
You keep so well hidden deep inside
But all we want is time, all we want is time...
Something broken far behind, nothing mended you could hide
Nothing in your simple life
Something weird so look aside, no one's angry 'bout the time
So perfect for a simple life
I forgive you all the years of youth, whispered words of misleading truth
And all I want is time, all I want is time...
I forgot you long ago or maybe just yesterday, I don't care it was your way
'Cause all you want was time, all you want was time...
6. NAMELESS
And she opened the letter she received a few days before
Without any warning she felt like a simple whore
And nothing has changed since yesterday
She still adores him, although he went away
And the bridge is calling for the nameless girl
A new day is dawning, she simply won't be there
To watch the sunrise on that muddy waves
But for sure it will come and warm her grave
Mother, she's coming home, and the river will be there to save
Mother, she's going home like a nameless flower on her grave
So she descends the water and her heart will feel relief
Killing her softly, the ferryman smiles filled with grief
As he's showing her to the other side
Into heaven's eternity and the river will go by
Let the river wash away everything that she has done
Please show mercy, with this nameless one
For there is nothing, she shouldn't be ashamed
Only society must be blamed
7. FOR YOU
And the guy next door seems to be angry, though his wife adores this rude approach
Looking up to him like a big hero, soon he'll be her daddy and her coach
And he's getting wilder every moment, anytime he'll sure begin to roar
But allow the time to move on further and you see them doing it on the floor...
There always seems a way, every little debt I pay for you
There will always be a light, in the dark that shines for me and you, for you
And the woman with her big mercedes loves her little puppet on a string
Being not the one she would call pretty, but instead of that a diamond ring
Lately given to her for some pleasure, she returned that favour well
But allow the time to move on further and the mirror sends her straight to hell...
Living on the sunny side, with no ticket to return...
Being everything they want, but forever they will burn...
8. GIANT'S WHEEL
So many things unsaid, inhabit the last wrinkle of his troubled head
And they leave no space to be explored, with any meaning, he'll get bored
Like a giant's wheel, your life seems turned
Like a giant's whell, a desperate wish to burn
The bridges of your mind, salvation for the blind
Running head over heel on the giant's wheel...
So many signs unheard, they populate the crowded neurons of his mind
And a crossroad extending to nowhere, with no meaning, of a simple kind
So many dreams relived
The others flipped around and banished from the merry sleep
And a longing for the distance to be gained, with no meaning, low and deep
9. ANOTHER TOMORROW
"Hello it's me" he said, "like all the times before
I am your reflexion, the one you adore"
And he told her about the yesterday in a better tomorrow...
Cause I've been there through all the years
I'm in your mind forever
Until you reach the end of days
Live to do me a favour
"Hello its me again, I'm still the same
You should go to work and don't be lame"
And he told her about the wealth and flush in a promised tomorrow...
"Hello', its me, my friend, you have gone old
I am your youth, now it´s getting cold"
And he told her about a distant life in another tommorrow...
10. AFTER THE BALL
Isn't this just a veil in front of my eyes ?
In this moment between the sorrow (silence) and the cries...
Was it something I said, was it a thought you had beyond your martyred brain ?
Isn't there nothing left behind...
And I gaze through the dancehall's fog-sealed door
Cigarettes and bottles litter the floor...
Was it something I said, was it a dream they had inside their musing heads ?
Isn't there something left behind...
And you hold my hand without a wish to move
A flying kiss evades your lips beyond the roof...
Was it something I said, was it a dream we had inside our loving heads ?
Isn't there something left behind...
Then you left without a single word, what a con
Only gostly schemes keep dancing on...
Was it something they had, was it a dream they had inside their martyred brains ?
Isn't there something left behind...
