lyrics
Psychiatrist: "There is a great difference between the feeling of depression we all know, and the one which is at the core of pathological depression, and only someone who's experienced it can describe it."
Patient: "...I couldn't see how I could possibly go to work again."
Psychiatrist: "There was nothing that you could enjoy?"
Patient: "Absolutely nothing."
Patient: "There was no one I could see that I'd be glad to see, there was nothing anybody could say..."
Psychiatrist: "That would cheer you?"
Patient: "...That would cheer me."
Patient: "It doesn't matter whether it's the black of night or whether the sun is shining, or whether it's pouring rain, or whether it's snowing or anything else, nothing... nothing looks good, it's all blackness."
Patient: "It's very difficult putting that into words, though there's an old saying about this place called hell, where bad people go to after they're dead, after they die..."
Patient: "...That the worst part about hell is not the flames, it's the hopelessness."
Patient: "And I think that is the part of hell that a person in depression really tastes."
Psychiatrist: "The hopelessness?"
Patient: "The hopelessness, the terrible hopelessness that comes over... everything is black."
Patient: "What's the use of eating, I'm only gonna die someday anyway."
Patient: "What's the use of doing anything?"
Patient: "Because... it's pointless, it's all going to end in death."
Patient: "Whether I arrange to do it to myself, or whether I just sit it out."
I am flashed and I am wondering why I did not recognize this band earlier. Looking forward to hearing more from this talented and innovative guys in the near future. The album is a must have! almaju
In Stasis sets the mood for Starseeker so well, and Replica is just a banging new track (and one of my favourite Ihlo songs). I'm not usually a fan of live releases, but I do like this one a lot katsumashi
