Opeth - Isolation Years



Quote:
There's a sense of longing in me
As I read Rosemary's letter
Her writing's honest
Can't forget the years she's lost

In isolation
She talks about her love
And as I read
"I'll die alone"
I know she was aching

There's a certain detail seen here
The pen must have slipped to the side
And left a stain
Next to his name
She knew he was gone

And isolation
Is all that would remain
"The wound in me is pouring out
To rest on a lover's shore"


Opeth - Hours of Wealth



Quote:
Found a way to rid myself clean of pain
And the fever that's been haunting me
Has gone away

Looking through my window
I seem to recognize
All the people passing by
But I am alone
And far from home
And nobody knows me

Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again
All days are in darkness
And I'm biding my time
Once I'm sure of my task I will rise again

Opeth - Windowpane



Quote:
Blank face in the windowpane
Made clear in seconds of light
Disappears and returns again
Counting hours, searching the night
Might be waiting for someone
Might be there for us to see
Might be in need of talking
Might be staring directly at me
Inside plays a lullaby
Slurred voice over children cries
On the inside

Haunting loneliness in the eye
Skin covering secret scars
His hand is waving a goodbye
There's no response or action returned

There is deep prejudice in me
Outshines all reason inside
Given dreams all ridden with pain
And projected unto the lost


Opeth - In My Time of Need



Quote:
I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading
I try to forget you as you forgot me
This time there is nothing left for you to take, this is goodbye
Summer is miles and miles away
And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change
To ease the pain
And I should step out of the rain
And turn away
Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages
Of the rapture born within this loss
Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my soul
At times the dark's fading slowly
But it never sustains
Would someone watch over me
In my time of need
Close to ending it all, I am drifting throught the stages
Of the rapture born within this loss
Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my soul


Opeth - Hope Leaves



Quote:
In the corner beside my window
There hangs a lonely photograph
There is no reason
I'd never notice
A memory that could hold me back

There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place

Gone through days without talking
There is a comfort in silence
So used to losing all ambition
Struggling to maintain what's left

Once undone, there is only smoke
Burning in my eyes to blind
To cover up what really happened
Force the darkness unto me

Quote:
Alice Nine - Dead School Screaming
(english translation - source )

The unpleasantness of awaking in the mornings, with cleverness of a dog
The repeating days seem to be tumbling, I put on the basket shoes and go to the 'DEAD SCHOOL'

I'm just feeling nausea so bad

Expecting to flounder, expecting to have floundered, have I forgotten the things to snarl at?
Without a collar, burn the notes! Paint my nails, fuck to the 'DEAD SCHOOL'

I'm just feeling nausea
I'm just feeling languid
but, I don't care

Nothing is here already, I broke all system.
People call me parasitic
Only piles of shit, I've broken all the Rules
People call me parasitic

No passing by, hey hey hey hey
Monkey show is about to start
You definitely must see it.

Hey, you presidents, can you restore my life back?
I don't think so

I'm just feeling nausea
I'm just feeling languid
but, I don't care

Nothing is here already, I broke all system.
People call me parasitic
Only piles of shit, I've broken all the Rules
People call me parasitic

Dead school play, round and round

One of my favourites. More about alienation in general (it also seems that different people see different meaning in the song).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypxrs1N97xc

Why is the sun tormenting me?
I always want to vomit in a deep red beam.
Going to Soap Land and dressing like a woman is paradise
As for the rest, it's all wrong.

Hey, round and around and around and around.
So, everyone together, round and around and around.

I'm always feeling blue.
Everyday I get nasal inflammation from house dust.
I love watching the train going downtown,
On an aimless urge, good bye.

Hey, round and around and around and around.
So, everyone together, round and around and around.
Round and round, dead meat.

Pretending not to know the expression on my friend's face,
There, here, firery

What has blossomed?
An idiot has blossomed.
Where has it blossomed?
In me it's blossomed.
It's turning red,
It's turned into a rose.
It's turning into that,
It's turned into garbage.

Hey, round and around and around and around.
So, everyone together, round and around and around.
That's going, round and around and around and around.
Round and round, dead meat.

The sun that suddenly flies in the sky is a butcher
aah, koo, firery

What has blossomed?
An idiot has blossomed.
Where has it blossomed?
In me it's blossomed.
It's turning red,
It's turned into a rose.
It's turning into that,
It's turned into garbage.

1. It's turning red, firery.
2. It's turned into a rose, firery.
3. It's turned into that, firery.
4. It's turned into garbage, firery.

Round and round, dead meat.

Post Re: Hikikomorish songs


I write this alone on my bed
I've poisoned every room in the house
The place is quiet and so alone
Pretend there's something worth waiting for

There's nothing nice in my head
The adult world took it all away
I wake up with same spit in my mouth
I cannot tell if it is real or not

I try and walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
From despair to where

Outside open mouthed crowds
Pass each other as if they're drugged
Down pale corridors of routine
Where life falls unatoned

The weak kick like straw
Till the world means less and less
Words are never enough
Just cheap tarnished glitter

I try and walk in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
From despair to where

A cripple walks in a straight line
An imitation of dignity
From despair to where
From despair to where


He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man,the world is at your command!

(lead guitar)

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand!

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man please listen,
you don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command!

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody!

Post Re: Hikikomorish songs
Not my favorite Porcupine Tree song but it is pretty hikikomori-like and nihilistic.

You have no interest in the past
Where you came from
Where you're going to

There's a cliche in your eye
File the edges down
Soon be underground

There's nothing here for you under the sun
There's nothing new to do, it's all been done
So put your faith in another place

Never seem to get away from this
It's all falling into an abyss
So put your foot on the pedal boy

All you know is secondhand
The bullet passed through the cage inside you

You stole the only thing you love
So unfaithful, the drop is fatal

This is actually about drug addiction more than being reclusive, but some of us might still be able to relate to it, I know I feel a 'lonely' vibe when I listen to it.
I personally like Johnny Cash's version better, the original is by Nine Inch Nails.



Quote:
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Quote:
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
But I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

Post Re: Hikikomorish songs
This song made me feel so hopeless and lonely...

I used to listen to it while in bed almost every night back in my high school days and it often made me cry myself to sleep... literally



You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude, do you call it liberty,
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely?

The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom
But all in vain they will fade away
There's only you to answer you, forever

In blinded mind you are singing
A glorious hallelujah
The distant flutter of angels
They're all too far, too far to reach for you

I am here alone again
In my sweet serenity
Hoping you will ever find me in any place
I will call it solitude when all my songs fade in vain
Fly my voice, far away to eternity

Not 100% fitting, but this songs always reminds me of my lifestyle.



Quote:
Isolated
Alone and apart
Isolated
Isolated

I'll never crawl again
I'll never fall again until i'm free

Here i stand in this room
Caged and trapped inside
Seems i'm damned to live a lie
Unaware of what's outside
Should i care for what's left me behind

And i stare at light that makes me blind
Internally there's nothing left for me to be
I'm here alone and isolated

Have no choice but be isolated
Struggling
Left alone
Apart
Pushed aside
Made segregated
Struggling
Left alone
Apart
See i have no choice but be isolated
Threatened
Forced to extract the heart
Pushed aside
Made segregated
Have no choice but be...

The monsters make me hide
Perhaps i'll eat myself alive
Internally there's nothing left for me to be

I can't care for what's left me behind
And stare at light that makes me blind
These broken walls trap me inside
I'm isolated

Have no choice but be isolated
Struggling
Left alone
Apart
Pushed aside
Made segregated
Struggling
Left alone
Apart
See i have no choice but be isolated
Threatened
Forced to extract the heart
Pushed aside
Made segregated
Have no choice but be...

I'll never crawl again
I'll never fall again until i'm free
I'll never crawl again
I'll never fall again until i'm free

And i stare at light that makes me blind
Internally there's nothing left for me to be
I'm here alone and isolated

Have no choice but be isolated
Struggling
Left alone
Apart
Pushed aside
Made segregated
Struggling
Left alone
Apart
See i have no choice but be isolated
Threatened
Forced to extract the heart
Pushed aside
Made segregated
Struggling
Left alone
Apart...

I'll never crawl again
I'll never fall again until i'm free...

I think I posted this in another thread, but whatever


Quote:
I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be alone
Before all the days are gone
And darker walls are bent and torn
To pass the time of those who mourn
I want to be alone
Rivers that run anywhere
Are in my hand and just up the stair
Past the eyes of those who care
Who can never be alone
Changes that were not meant to be
Tow the hours of my memory
Sing a song of love to me
To say you must never
Never be alone
The tears of a silent rain
Seek shelter on my broken pain
And run away
But I remain
To speak the words
That sing of alone
I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be alone

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions --
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions --
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights..


I've read in an interview that Isolated by Chiasm is about the pet rat she owned that cannibalized his companion.

this is a live version.. I could not find the album version on youtube.




Quote:

A blackout in the room again
a busted lip and broken skin.
I wake up in the bathroom
and dare not bother asking
why the mirror's craked and all I see
are shards of glass inside of me.

There's voices there to dare me,
my father's here to scare me.
and My mother she sits beyond the door she's
curled up crying on the floor,
look at what her son's done.

When the weight of all the world's gone wrong.
wrong again.
Gone fucking wrong again.

Well liars they leave a guilty trail.
let me tell you I've been lying for years.
That must be why I'm standing in this space.
constantly over and over Im Disregarding that I've created these monsters
that are on both of my sides,
So I wipe the blood from both of their eyes.
From all four of their eyes.

And while I wait for wounds to heal
I see you by the window sil,
your heart's torn out
a plastic spoon
when honesty lit up that room
so I stole the pillowcase to clean
this mess I've made of someones dream.
Now you've seen what I've done,

when the weight of all the world's gone wrong again
gone fucking wrong again.

This room is old and wise
and I fall onto the bed and wonder,
"How did I get here?"
I was a little boy who would argue with a tree
go ahead thump his head
he'll turn back to normal.

Now why is that what I see?
Don't bother trusting me
don't bother waiting
don't bother changing things that won't give into changing
just let me go away.
I'm packed down whenever.
Let's go.
Let's really really go.

The vocalist pretty much was a hikikomori for a few years before starting the Smiths. Lots of their songs deal with isolation/shyness/loneliness.

Fuck yeah, I love the Smiths. A lot of their songs are really comforting to listen to when I actually do leave the house.

Post Re: Hikikomorish songs

Quote:
I feel no sympathy
-It's easy
Leave it alone, let it be
All activity must be stop
-All the doors must be locked
Don't make sound or we all be fucked
I hear it lurking outside
It's a monster what?
This should be no surprise
-It's the other half of your life
Scary as hell
Thank god I got my wife
She's a soldier at your side
That none can divide
But in the end you'll have to face a very different kind

Solitude no "we"
This cut don't bleed
So leave it alone, let it be
Break it upon the rocks of your needs
A sinking island, it doesn't want to find them
No friend, no foe, no loose ends to mend
In isolation
-There's no tempation
To break from familiarity of feeling like a rarity
A lock with no key
This falling twig is finally been set free

So what's the disparity
What's the problem?
-You don't need no one
You need nothing from
Laughing and smiles
No one for miles
I am a rock
Fuck the flock
They're just outlines in chalk (yeah)
Manikins that talk (yeah)
Fists that knock (yeah)
Bullshit that walks
I float above it alone in my grace
The ants disappear without no fuckin' trace

What the fuck is this chain in my chest
Dug into my gut it's tugged by the rest
-I can't be dependant, I can't be a mess
I must remain solid in the face of this duress
Its tug of war
Killing my very core
A conflict of property, no more, no more
I'll break the chain
I'll cut myself off
No one can touch me in my isolation

-You don't speak of the love, you don't speak of rewards
You don't speak of rewards, you don't speak of the cost
I am an altogether different being
I got black wings of fire and eyes of true seeing
In the past I've seen my enemies go a fleeing
Now I avoid the whole thing
No friend to whom I'm clinging
-Some say it's not a way to be living
That you should spend your life giving and giving
So I flipped the switch
Aint nobody's bitch
My wounds I self stitch
I ignore the itch
To socialize
To realize
To see through other peoples eyes
I'm deaf to my own cries
But I'm deaf to the lies
You can't deny
-With no friends you don't cry
I'll be this way till I die or learn to scry
I am an altogether different being
I got black wings of fire and eyes of true seeing

I can't fucking breath
I'm suffocating
It's isolation
What the fuck am I hiding from?

I'm suffocating
It's isolation
What the fuck am I hiding from?

There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears
In my room, in my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room
In my room, in my room

Nick Drake - Man in a Shed
Well there was a man who lived in a shed
Spent most of his days out of his head
For his shed was rotten let in the rain
Said it was enough to drive any man insane
When it rained
He felt so bad
When it snowed he felt just simply sad.

Well there was a girl who lived nearby
Whenever he saw her he could only simply sigh
But she lived in a house so very big and grand
For him it seemed like some very distant land
So when he called her
His shed to mend,
She said I'm sorry you'll just have to find a friend.

Well this story is not so very new
But the man is me, yes and the girl is you
So leave your house come into my shed
Please stop my world from raining through my head
Please don't think
I'm not your sort
You'll find that sheds are nicer than you thought.
Nice lyrics. Thanks for sharing.

['Hurt'] is actually about drug addiction more than being reclusive, but some of us might still be able to relate to it, I know I feel a 'lonely' vibe when I listen to it.
I personally like Johnny Cash's version better, the original is by Nine Inch Nails.

I know...it's moving, honest, so well-written. Good one, Shizu.

Simon & Garfunkel's 'I Am a Rock' - definitely, LordTricky. I was thinking of that one as well.

You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude, do you call it liberty,
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely?

The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom
But all in vain they will fade away
There's only you to answer you, forever

In blinded mind you are singing
A glorious hallelujah
The distant flutter of angels
They're all too far, too far to reach for you

I am here alone again
In my sweet serenity
Hoping you will ever find me in any place
I will call it solitude when all my songs fade in vain
Fly my voice, far away to eternity

I didn't watch the video posted since it's no longer available (will try to find it at a later time) but those are beautiful lyrics. Thanks for sharing them.

Here's my addition to the thread:
'Who Can It Be Now?' -- Men At Work -- "Business As Usual"(1981)(debut)



Who can it be knocking at my door?
Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more.
Can't you see that it's late at night?
I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right.
All I wish is to be alone;
Stay away, don't you invade my home.
Best off if you hang outside,
Don't come in - I'll only run and hide.

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Who can it be knocking at my door?
Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor.
If he hears, he'll knock all day,
I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay.
I've done no harm, I keep to myself;
There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health.
I like it here with my childhood friend;
Here they come, those feelings again!

Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?

Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It's not the future that I can see,
It's just my fantasy

Oh...Who can it be now?
Oh...Who can it...Who can it...
Yeah yeah yeah

'Alone Again (Naturally)' -- Gilbert O'Sullivan -- "Himself" - 1972



In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower,
And climbing to the top,
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people 're saying,
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
No point in us remaining.
May as well go home."
As I did on my own,
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday,
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down,
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch,
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt,
All about God and His mercy
For if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed,
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that
There are more hearts
Broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

(instrumental break)

Now looking back over the years,
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old,
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn't understand, why the only man
She had ever loved had been taken
Leaving her to start with a heart
So badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally

Strange no one suggested this.
An humorous anthem for this forum lol

Lyrics to Melancholia :
My coffee's cold, my paper's old,
My heart is sold to melancholia,
My clothes are torn, my shoes are worn,
My heart is born to melancholia.

A strange surprise, what I despise in other guys is here in me,
They lose their girl, they lose their world,
And then they cry for all to see,
I've never felt so bad, the fires drive me mad.

The sheets are gray, left since the day she went away, I lost all power,
The dust is thick, the dog is sick, the kids have picked most of the flowers.


The sun is shining, but not for me,
The sun is shining, but not for me.
I've never felt so bad, the fires drive me mad.

The sheets are gray, left since the day she went away, I lost all power,
The dog is sick, the dust is thick, the kids have picked most of the flowers
