ACHING BEAUTY LYRICS
"Live Unplugged at the New Morning" (2003 Live album)
1. Steps
2. Pairsonality
3. Soul's Wrinkles
4. The Hundredth Name
1. Steps
Now I tend to a day dream
Define a place where I could merge in
Hide away, and never let steps in the sand
Sublimate all what is
To free myself from the grip of time
Start again
Wish a swelling wind
Refuse the new habits and behaviours
Obey the core of my will
Reshuffle around, even closer friends
Leave the undesired behind
Disclose my scars instead of hiding them
Regenerated by fresh light
After childhood and the loss of illusions
Segue into the third chapter
I'll sail upstream back to my birthplaces
Hills of the Rhône would be my horizons
Fall to my knees, hands in the mossy grass
Light a bonfire under the summer solstice sun
Assessing all things done
Repent for those which should not have been
Start a quest, for a better being
Evolution leading me
As if I were what I am to be
Affirmative
Live a self-made way of being me
2. Pairsonality
Dreary life unfolding desperately
TV screens punctuate my sleepless nights
Nothing goes through my senseless body
My mind drifts away without a sign
Without a sign of might
He came to me, rushed and hit me
Pulled me out of my despair, revealed my urges
Walking to the street, shattered me with each hit
We were like brothers, shelters from others
Looking for a goal, searching for an idol
I need a man to transfigure me
He'll be my guide, provide me strength and pride,
Trying to reach him, I'll achieve my dream
The rivalry began to grow between us
Being a substitute, I can't bear this second place
That girl he's looking at, he doesn't know she's mine,
He went too far, I have to get rid of him,
Finally found my god, followed my idol
Needed a man to transfigure me
He is my guide, provides me strength and pride,
Trying to reach him, I'll achieve my dream
Finally lost my god, destroyed my idol
Needed a man to transfigure me
He could be guide, provide me strength and pride,
Now that I've killed him... my dreams,
My dreams
3. Soul's Wrinkles
My life, dried out, waiting for you since my first breath
"Fate for us to unite, it had to be you", they said
Promise the eternity, adorning our tale
Yesterday these words didn't seem to be enough
We used to breathe the same air, tread the same ground
Crossing the same frontiers, fulfilling on those dearest to us
So why escape our former happiness ?
We clinched to nourish again from that fading us
Time despises our poems, those confident words
Wrinkles corrode our minds, but yours maybe not such as mine
Time denies our poems, those heartfelt words
Wrinkles alter our minds, but yours maybe not such as mine
My life, dried out, all what we've shared cannot fade out
We met, a chance, all that remains for me to see
The story grew in the sweat of our bodies
Still today these words don't seem to be enough
Time denies our poems, such distant words
Wrinkles corrode our minds, but yours maybe not such as mine
Time buries our poems, those heartfelt words
Wrinkles alter our minds, but yours not such as mine
What should we regret, though we hadn't changed a thing
What can we regret, whereas everything has changed
4. The Hundredth Name
Rising prophecies, assuring, frightening, comforting
A truth seems to rise from inevitable signs
Or do we see signs where we want to see them ?
This was written :
>
Ô The Great and The Judge, The Vengeful, The Omniscient
The last of His Names shall prevent us
God's aegis against God's wrath
Seeking for the Supreme Name,
The one no one can utter,
No one shall pronounce,
The Ineffable Tetragram
But there beyond the tome
Lies the imprecation :
Clouds and skies getting dimmer,
Blindness gets the reader
Ô The Great and The Judge, The Vengeful, The Omniscient
The last of His Names shall prevent us
God's aegis against God's wrath
