KLIMT 1918 LYRICS

1. The Breathtaking Days (Via Lactea)

take what you want from this lonely night
with a gentle and demanding mouth.
Between a smile and a tear

"dne eht ot su gnirb ot seirt
yaw yklim eht ;seiks yrrats rednu
,esolc uoy dloh I."
[reverse:]
(I hold you close,
under starry skies; the milky way
tries to bring us to the end)

I'm only living to sing this song.
I'll be still and say no more.
I don't need to hear you explain

".seil ruo rof yrc
ll 'ew ,esimorp a ekam ew ;thgilnus rof
gnitiaw ,thgin eht thguorht gnitsaL .uoy si tnaw I lla ,wols gninrub ma I .evol rof evil tsuj I .emit on si ereht esuac"
[reverse:]
(cause there is no time. I just live for love. I am burning
slow, all I want is you. Lasting through the night, waiting
for sunlight; we make a promise, we'll
cry for our lies.)

2. Skygazer

'Til the colours dissolve a slight difference in the air I feel.
Whatever wind says I am that's what I'm not.
I don't cry over you.
My hands are so cold, my face is so pale.
With more sky than words I live.
Season has changed, each loss of my breath I gaze the blue.
I never see stars again, I have them on my knees.
Heaven trickles down the drain.
Still showing my teeth to the great vast vault,
I want to sweat out fears.

I'll cover my shame with salt sky waves
bathing all my limbs away.
I want the (whole) world to know how I cried
how my spirit flew.

'Til the blue sky involves a slight difference
in this life I make.
Notwithstanding the untold,
the universe is mine, in this basement I hold (out).
My hands are so cold
my face is so pale. With more sky than words I live.
Season has changed, each loss of my breath
I gaze the blue.
I never see stars again, I have them on my knees.
Heaven trickles down the drain.
Still showing my teeth to the great vast vault,
I want sweat out fears.
I'll cover my shame with salt sky waves
bathing all my limbs away. I want the (whole) world
to know how my spirit flew, how my eyes and skies unite.

3. Ghost Of A Tape Listener

I know, end is near. I haven't had a dream; who and what to blame?
Now, how can I see? I take a Polaroid from there; at the close of the day.
It's an endless time. Yes, I swear.
This is creepy fun in our ghost town.
We take a walk on an empty street
we scream for ice cream. Despite my daydreams.
I got wicked fashion sense, I don't miss their summer trance.
I could stroll for miles and miles
moonbathing under trees.
In the mood to leave my town, I take a ride.
I don't need no nicotine when I long for you, tonight.
And please don't care if they say I'm off the rail.
I could loose my way if you want my love.
Lights are turning blue and smile
is blooming like there is no more time.
We'll be strong. No break before the dawn.
Wishing well of ghosts.
It's all about to be.
I don't sympathize, I won't realize.
I will be here, outside.
In the mood to leave my town, I take a ride.
I don't need no nicotine when I long for you, tonight.
And please don't care if they say I'm off the rail.
I could loose my way if you want my love.

I'm quite scared of the German pope
but I don't miss my summer love.
I could stroll for your eyes
when I long for you tonight.
I got wicked common sense
I don't miss your lonely dance.
I'll be strong wishing well of ghosts.

4. The Graduate

I stop believing everything will be alright
I just can see the shaping of my life.
it's hard to stand this time.
I really love to fade away in your remains.
It's my own remorse, it's my only fault.
'Cause it's a long way down.
Little girl, with dark arms
you love dancing in darkest times.
I would steal your smile (away)
losing the love I've dared.
Brown eyed girl, just graduated
you'll never understand, how much I cared
in this darkened room.
My spring matres on the floor
the lovely stain of blood
the beads of sweat.
"I love you, I adore you", you said.
You can't tear the one you love apart.
Little howlet danced in the air, you smiled
I wasn't prepared. The smell of distant fires
just look in to my desire.
Won't you be back at home tonight?
Little girl, in my arms
you loved sleepin' close to my eyes.
I would feel your warmth (away)
losing the love I've dared.
Brown eyed girl, just graduated
you'll never understand
how much I cared in this darkened room.

Feel the pain, pay the price.
I was the one who loved you the most.
Every day, and then, every night.
With you.
And you got so much faith, and then, so much life.
You make it hurt so good.
I'll stay until the end.
I've never asked you for much.

5. Just An Interlude In Your Life

let all the songs tell you the meaning
in a world you are finding small.
Keeping your soul safe when you are bleeding inside.
But you can't forget
you can't forgive how I told you last time I saw you.
It wants to make you cry
it wants to make you swear.
I want you to know.
Every hour, every day I spent with you was forever.
My mind goes astray
I swore it would be forever.
I'm just awaking with the dusk on my eyes.
I didn't give anyone else a love like this.
Let all the clouds sing of my illusion
from a sky now it's turning blue.
Keeping my smile safe
when I am dying inside.
And I can't forget
I can't forgive how you kissed me
last time you loved me.
It wants to make me die
it wants to make me bleed.
I want you to know.

And you run through the midnight air
your adolescent dreams are gone.
Break me off a piece of that love, tonight 'cause
you can't forget
you can't forgive
how I told you last time I loved you.
I drop off these notes
I turn on the amp.
This song wants to make you cry.

And I'm bleeding through the emotions
with my music, with devotion.
I want to disappear, here in the tones.
I need you to know.
Every hour, every day I spent with you
was forever.
Always together.
My mind goes astray, I swore it would be forever.
Ever and ever.
And I'm bleeding, through the emotions with my music
with devotion.
I want to disappear, here in the tones.
I need you to know.

6. Just In Case We'll Never Meet Again

Drench yourself in light
until I walk away.
You never knew, you swear, backlighting could be so sad.
Your only saving grace is the bit of blue light surrounding my hair now
fading in to grey.
You are the virus I can't get out of my head
I miss you, summer is here when our dreams end.

In case we'll never meet again
I wanna wish you well, love.
A fire on the hill, I'll light for you.

I hate last hours of the night
when dark sky is gone (out)
leaving messy thoughts
leaving summer days.
I've always wondered if I ever came close to the truth
leaving my old town
waiting on the ground.

7. Suspense Music

there is no moonrise yet to come.
May this moment close to you be eternal.
Time to bear the gain.
In the deafness all my wish I stand.
May the infinity of suspense haunt me.
Your hands are in mine.

Time has come and the world just stops
without deep sorrow to endure now.
I want you
I always knew. I have been blind.
I will have faith in night.

I surrender all control for you.
May this moment close to you be eternal.
I can't conceal myself.

8. Disco Awayness

This is you on your first day of school
when you were too young to understand
how this country rapes and offends us all.
This is you when you were small and pure
when you were a dreamer. yes, for sure!
Still you didn't know the taste of blood.
This is you when you played in your lonely room
when you were just a fucking armless teen.
And everytime you gazed your shoes.

This is you when you kissed her on the mouth
and she kept your secrets safe for a while.
Then you cried when you broke up.

And now it's so different. Yes, you know
why is it so different?
Dance to put you out of mind
you can see. It's our only cure.
Now you sing in English in your band
you try to seem like people pretend.
Sometimes you feel so much shame for yourself.
Now, you have learnt the lesson in life for sure.
You have to fight for your dream when it all seems gone.
These are just the cards you get.
it's clear, they don't give a fuck about you,
don't mind.
'Cause you don't give a fuck about them, you'll try.
Dance to put you out of mind.

9. Atget

You seemed to me like a swirling dance
of windblown leaves.
When the night filled with cries
the truth lies with our love.
And we scaled the tones of sky
to find the cold blue trees.
These silent chances passed one by
were the stars shined gold.

And could you sleep when the wind blew?
When I left you, in October.
You who sat safe and warm indoors
you, who smiled.
When everyone you have loved in me is finally gone
the damage is done.
There will be no means for escaping Rome.

In the distance my heart swelled away
I strove, I strove against all past adversities.
And you were under muddy sleepless stars again.
And I was dead close
to your sleeping closed brown eyes.
So, I seemed to you like an empty street
in a vast ghost town
when the path was dark and the sky was grey.
Yes, I heard the sound.
And we scaled the shapes of clouds
to find the puddle's ground.
These silent chances passed one by
were the stars shined gold.
In the distance my heart swelled away
I strove, I strove against all past adversities.
And you were under muddy sleepless stars again.
And I was dead close
to your sleeping closed brown eyes.
In the distance my heart
tried to walk outside my chest.
And you knew, I strove against all past adversities.

And you were under muddy sleepless stars again.
And I was dead close
to your sleeping closed brown eyes.

10. All Summer Long

We waited for the dawn.
You showed me understanding it was not a dream.
So close, you make me blind.
how beautiful you were.
I must have been asleep all summer long.
You found myself alone.
Sorry could I take you in my arms for another time.
Where the road turned so dark
where we kissed for the first time.
Show me how you love me apart, far away
You will have to leave.

I'll tell your ghost to let me be
when the fall will come.
Where the road turned so dark
where my heart still beats unstuck
where the dreams disappear.
I hope to live to tell my love.

I want to take you home.
Don't think it's too late?
I'll keep on holding you.
You spoke under trees again.
In a little red car, outside.
And I'm here I still hesitate.
I've lived and been disbelieved.
And now you come to me and you make me blind
I just succumb for the summer time, again.
Sorry, could I take you in my arms for another time.
I want to be asleep all summer long
I want to prove that I'm doing wrong for you.
You spoke under trees, in a little red car.
I can remember when you were so close to me.
Every nerve that hurts you healed
every kiss I gave you cried.
I am trying to forget what should not die in vain.
My hands have been tied for a long time.
I want to take you home.
It's not too late.
I keep on holding you.

11. True Love Is The Oldest Fear

Like an exhausted soldier
sleepless for five and six days
burning dark clothes I wear
sometimes I feel like being dead.
The oldest fear is true love.
It's the desert in my mouth.
I've been looking for love.
I got enough guilt to start.
I'm still up and staring
at the trails of aeroplanes.
Soundless dawn slow motion.
Sometimes I feel like being loved.
The sweetest truth is failure.
It's the cold breeze felt in June.
I've been looking for her.
I got enough love to give.

And her smile now explodes in the coldest day.
She can't stop to instigate true-love's hopeless fate.
And my mouth now collides with my oldest fear.
I can't hold these inside.
I can't hold these tears.

It's the sound of the joy that I can't rewind.
I used to hear distant crack out in the city night.
And today I've no words
I'm coming unmasked for her.
I would like to sing it all day long.
It's true love. It's the sound of the joy
that I can't rewind.
I used to hear distant cracks out in the city night.
And today I've no words
I'm coming unmasked for her.
I would like to sing it all day long.

I'm still up and staring
at the trails of aeroplanes.
Sometimes I feel like being loved.
Just listen to the sound of the joy I can't rewind.
True love's hopeless fate.
