Puisi untuk Byzantium..atau untuk diri sendiri

Gua rasa macam dah lama tak tinggalkan something kan sini. Sibuk dengan kerja, selain tu gua pun dah rasa kurang rajin nak tulis apa-apa. By the way, life's been good. Gua sebenarnya macam into kepada karya-karya Delerium dan Sleepthief lately. Dan lagu ni buat gua terkenang sesuatu lah, selain daripada vokal Joanna Stevens yang superb dan menggoncang perasaan (selain dari lagu ni, boleh jugak dengarkan suara dia dalam album Sleepthief,memang bagus!).

A Poem for Byzantine (Delerium & Joanna Stevens)

unforbidden shadows of you formed yesterday
i ran away to a room here on the bay
interrupted life again, another new beginning
where the silence echoes
you're no longer with me

here and now
i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone
but that's okay

through the darkness
i would walk in the streets
confessions never seemed
to provide me with a release

held me down and tried to cure me
tried to give me reason
but nothing could seperate
this burdened mind from me

here and now
i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that's okay
looking out to a different sky will disengage me
absense is never the answer, i know
but it serves as my shade

i do not seek and not intend to find
a calmer ocean or a sun that'll never rise
my world will never change
and time will bring you to my thoughts
i'll move on and forget you all over again
moving on, i can forgive you all over again

here and now
i feel that i'm embracing freedom
even though i may be alone, but that's okay
and looking out onto a different sky
it seems so easy
absense is never the answer, i know
but it serves as my shade




Entah, barangkali lagu ni diam-diam beri semangat untuk gua jadi kuat. Untuk apa, gua pun tak pasti sangat. Hidup, semakin baik kebelakangan ni.
