The Phoenix Chant - Without you

Lyrics:

Without you

I looked straight into your eyes, I knew your claim was not a lie; your heart was beating by my side,
Every time I saw you….
You looked straight into my eyes, you knew my love was not a lie; my heart was beating at your sight,
By everything I owed you….

But I wouldn’t dare to face mistake, pretending that I didn’t love you.

Now…I’m sitting on the roof, with shadows in my mind.
I’m looking at the stars but I can’t feel their light.
Without you.

Now I can’t look into your eyes, so far away you’re from my life; your heart is beating fast for someone who deserves you.
I cannot help but looking back, keep locked alone into the dark hoping some day you would forgive me for my weakness.
I cannot face to stay away as if I’d never ever known you.

I’m sitting on the roof, with shadows in my mind. I’m looking at the stars but I can’t feel their light.
Without you.

I’m waiting until noon, with shadows in my mind. I’m looking at the sun but I can’t feel the warmth.

Without you.

Lyrics:


MELODY

I’ve been looking into narrow streets, in the deepness of the sea
I am surviving in the apocalypse, waiting for a light to see
I’ve been calling for an ancient spell, for the faintest smile in me
And from the bottom of my heart again I knew I had to keep up
 trying to feel.

Melody,
I closed my eyes and started to breathe
You were left forsaken
Melody,
Thanks for singing me reasons to live.
From my dreams awaken.

Melody,
Come for bringing me strength to be me
I’ve been not mistaken.
Melody,
Born to rescue me back from the abyss
You were left forsaken
I’ve been not mistaken.
You’ve been worth the waiting to me.

I’ve been moving through the hollow time, into frozen reality.
I’ve been waiting for the end of it, watching nothing to be seen
I’ve been trying to recall again all that one day I had lived
And at the bottom of my heart again, I knew I had to keep up,
Trying to feel.

Melody,
I closed my eyes and started to breathe
You were left forsaken
Melody,
Thanks for singing me reasons to live.
From my dreams awaken.
Melody,
Come for bringing me strength to be me
I’ve been not mistaken.
Melody,


Born to rescue me back from the abyss
You were left forsaken
I’ve been not mistaken.

You’ve been worth the waiting to me.

The Phoenix Chant - Fight Back

Listen:



Lyrics:


 Fight back

One day tried to face your nightmare, yet you thought it was too much.
Then you tried the day after. All you got, another fall.
One day you were told the opposite thought you knew were born to run.
One day you dreamt you were shouting yet no sound came there so far.

Nothing is impossible (x3)
Don't give up
Don't get mad
Fight back

One day you tried to reach the surface yet you thought it was too far.
Then you tried the day after. All you got, another fall.
One day you were told the opposite thought you knew it in your heart.
One day you dreamt you were floating yet the void was deep to last.

Nothing is impossible (x3)
Don't give up
Don't get mad
Fight back
Fight back
Nothing is impossible (x3)
nothing is at last.

TWILIGHT LULLABY


Tell me, where are all the leaves?
The winter is past and now comes the spring
Without you tuere's nothing that makes me fall in love, fall in love and sing.

Tell me do you think of me?
For having your light is what makes me rich,
Without you tuere's nothing that makes me fall in love, fall in love and sing.

Tell me, where have you been?
The angels made guard while you fell asleep,
Without you tuere's nothing that makes me fall in love, fall in love and sing.

Tell me, remember me?
For I am the one for you to be with,
Without you tuere's nothing that makes me fall in love, fall in love and sing.

The phoenix Chant - Don't tell me


Listen to: (Instrumental song)


This song can work as an instrumental one. Feel free to first listen to this version, which is like an introduction for a possible anime movie. I hope you enjoy it.


Listen to (Lyrics Song):



Lyrics:


Don’t tell me
  
To be afraid, to feel you’re walking on the air.
To make a cry, to be like diving in the ice.

Don’t tell me you’ve thought about me everywhere,
Don’t swear me now you love me, I don’t care.
Don’t tell me I have meant so much for you.
You’ve always lied to me, I want the truth.

  Feeling so lone, to be inside an empty road.
To fall apart, to be forgotten in the dark.

I’ve felt like the moon under the daylight,
when tears were always falling from my eyes.
“Cause” I can’t get this feeling off my mind,
I hope someday you just know what is like.
   
To be upset, to take your photos off my desk,
To feel so sad, to hear the sound of broken glass.

You don’t know what I had to stand alone,
When I was crying you put down the phone.
Don’t tell me that you understand me now,

There are so many things you ought to avow.


Meaning:

This song is about realisation. Realisation on how someone you love does not feel the same, having you only as a second choice, because he/she doesn't want to be alone, and only calls you when he/she needs you, not responding when it's you the one at need.

The voice in the song feels afraid because when he needs the one he loves he lacks the support or correspondance, like feeling walking on the air, where, at any moment you can fall down and crash. The other person is not in love with the voice in the song, and didn't correspond when she had the chance, staying closer to the other person just in case her own plans didn't work, having him as a second chance.

However, when plans didn't run as expected, she tries to contact him, telling lies about her own feelings towards him. He doesn't buy it though, and decides to end up the relationship, accepting reality as it is, and trying to follow his own path.

"To be diving in the ice" "to be forgotten in the dark" "to feel like the moon under the moonlight"...all these are ideas on how does the one in love feel when his love is not corresponded. As you know, the moon is hardly difficult under the daylight, diving through the ice is almost impossible and well, no-one wants to be left in the dark alone, either"

Through this process of realisation, the one in love removes all photographs or mementos he had from the other person's relationship and break them in an anger strike, producing the breakure of the frame's crystal glass.

The Phoenix Chant - Eres (Instrumental)

Listen to (Techno version)


Lyrics:

ERES

 Eres la musa que a veces ríe, la musa que a veces llora. La musa que se aproxima, la musa que me abandona, que se pierde en el silencio, la musa que el tiempo implora, que me lee el pensamiento, me hace volar como el viento.
Eres todo para mí...Eres.

(Música)

Eres los colores de tus obras, que unas cuantas veces brillan, otras muchas veces brotan, el eco de una mirada en el sol de la mañana, o el reflejo de la luna dentro de un bosque de hadas.
Eres...eres todo para mí
Eres tantas cosas que he vivido, tantas cosas que he sentido, tantas cosas que he perdido, tantas cosas que no olvido, eres la que con su arte me hace sentir tan distante y es que el tiempo nunca pasa en tu corazón errante.

Eres todo para mí
Eres






The Phoenix Chant - The power of the wind

Listen:




Lyrics:


THE POWER OF THE WIND

Then, you left me to my fate,
Like in a pirate's tale,
I can't believe I'm here, walking the plank!
But never is too late,
We can outrun this fate.
Throw all burdens away. And set this ship to land.
...
Give me a chance to stay and our love will last forever!
I want you by my side, singing old songs of hope together!
...
Give me the power of the wind to sail!
Don't tell me that it's over.
"Cause" the flame is inside and the Ocean's alive, baby!
Don't tell me that it's over!
...
Don't tell me it's over! Don't tell me!
Don't tell me that it's over "cause" I love you so much! 
Don't tell me that it's over! Don't tell me that it's over!
Cause I would give my life for you!
...
There you want me to forget all that's been on my head.
I can't believe I am still fighting for us!
But never is too late, we can outrun this fate,
Throw all burdens away and set this ship to land.
...
Give me the power of the wind to sail!
Don't tell me that it's over.
"Cause" the flame is inside and the Ocean's alive, baby!
Don't tell me that it's over!
...
Give me the power of the wind to sail!
Don't tell me that it's over.
"Cause" the flame is inside and the Ocean's alive, baby!
Don't tell me that it's over!
...
Don't tell me that it's over!
Don't tell me that it's ove-er!
Don't tell me that it's over!

The Phoenix Chant - Heart of Stone

Listen:





Lyrics:
HEART OF STONE

I'm staring at the light, the one I left behind the time you waved your last good-bye to me,
And now I try, I try to clear my mind. I pray to stay behind but I am forced to ride my horse and leave instead.
One day you said I must be brave, for it's my fate to face, to fight against all witches, dragons' enemies.
And then, I'll take my own way out, to carry out my word, I will now hold the reins and sing this song out loud.
...
My heart then will harden and fear my worst nightmare will fade.
...
When the skies claim thunder, ready for the storm
I will keep on fighting until the end of the world.
And if something tried to change me from my own,
Pain would make me stronger; no-one can touch my soul.
...
Then, when everything just seems to fade and I can feel the rain, it's going to be the time for the final charge but
I won't flinch against the grimmest words, against the smell of blood, as I ride past the snowy plain in winter cold.
One day I promised to be brave, I cleared my tears away, to fight against all witches, dragons' enemies.
And then, I'll take my own road out, to carry out my word, I do now hold the reins and sing this song out loud.
...
My heart now will harden and fear my worst nightmare will fade.
...
When the skies claim thunder, ready for the storm
I will keep on fighting until the end of the world.
And if something tried to change me from my own,
Pain would make me stronger; no-one can touch my soul.

When the dark around me tries to rip me off
I will keep on dancing. Chains can't restrain me anymore. 
And if ever sadness brings down all my hopes freedom, my own madness gives me the power to laugh.      (x2)


Song meaning: 

This song tells you how to be brave in live. It's a song about having courage to deal with problems in life, and about life itself. There's a saying each one of us misses something, has lost something and wants to get something. For me, this is true. In the song, set up at the middle age, the main character loses the last of his parents and at the moment of the loss, he promises to be brave and fulfil the mission he has in life. Regardless of his feelings on dispair, he must forget about hos loss, take the rains of his horse and follow his way.

The main character sings this song so as to get the courage he needs in his task, leading to the song chorus:

When the skies claim thunder, ready for the storm
I will keep on fighting until the end of the world.
And if something tried to change me from my own,
Pain would make me stronger; no-one can touch my soul.


It means he won't fear a lightstorm and he will keep on fighting regardless the grimmest the situation is. Next, he mentions that if something tries to change him (a tragical event, perhaps, or maybe someone who doesn't accept you as you are) this pain suffered, instead of letting him down, it will meke him stronger.

The character defeats many dragons and enemies and then he has to face a fierce battle at the end.

(...It's going to be the time for the final charge but
I won't flinch against the grimmest words, against the smell of blood, as I ride past the snowy plain in winter cold).

Again we can read the same idea: the main character won't give up regardless the hardness of the situation. After this he gets close to the song chorus and says:

"My heart now will harden and fear my worst nightmare will fade."

George R.R.Martin wrote the sentence: Fear cuts deeper than swords" which is exactly the same I was thinking when writting this song. Fear is the character's worst nightmare, because it lessens his capacity to overcome problems. After this the main character sings a variation of the initial chorus, -which is the part I most enjoyed writting.

"When the dark around me tries to rip me off
I will keep on dancing. Chains can't restrain me anymore. 
And if ever sadness brings down all my hopes freedom, my own madness gives me the power to laugh" 

The song implies a positive message regarding hope. Even when there is nothing you can do about something, you can act accordingly to your will. No-one can ever fully control you, and you are always free to laugh or to be yourself. We are the characters and life is the play, so as characters we will always have the chance to think as we will and sometimes also develop our role according to it. Only for this reason, I believe life is always worth be lived.

The Phoenix Chant - My Angel

Listen:




Lyrics:
My Angel
Every day I spend without you I miss you most of all.
‘Cause’ always that we were together you made me fall in love.
When I see the sky at night it seems you’re always watching me.
With the colour of your eyes the stars then shine in brown and green.

Together, my angel, no-one would ever make you cry.
Together, my angel, no-one would ever make me die.

You took away all the paintbrushes that gave colour to my life.
Although my heart’s been beating so fast ‘cause’ you’re still inside.
Every time I see the half-moon shines I can’t forget your bright smile.
And the waves in the sea always remind me your hairstyle.

Together, my angel, no-one would ever make you sad.
Together, my angel, no-one would ever make me mad.

Nothing can be the same again if you’re not here.
Thinking you’ll forget me is my biggest fear.
I will try to kill the time, the only I can do right now’s to wait.
Until you came back and told me something that makes me laugh again.

Together, my angel, no-one will never make you cry.

Together, my angel, no-one will ever make me die.
