#14 Standing--VNV NATION

[warholzprodigy]

To begin a project I've been working on, I had to have time. Time is something I certainly have right now. This is an excersise, a catalogue, an article, a blurb.

100 Songs. My top 100. I give you #14, as these are in NO ORDER anyway, it just popped up on my MP3 Player, so, now is the time for it.

Song: Standing by VNV NATION.

Type: Electric Body Movement / Industrial Techno / Synth Pop/ Trance

Why: This song has been a part of my life, for about 3 years. It's excellent for the Magickal practice of "Time Stretching."  It's also great to dance to.

Factoid! : Remixed with the Apoptygma Berzerk song "Kathy's Song".

Quote:
"And fighting time so hard I pray (I will)
this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still"

Lyrics:

Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking.
Beyond words they say so many things to me.
A stranger here reborn it seems
Awaking wonders deep in me.
If nothing's ventured nothing's gained
So I must seize the day.

And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.

It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anything.
It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.
I let the wind run through my hands
As I turned to walk away.
In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.

And fighting time so hard I pray
That this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.
Through my eyes stare into me.
I bear my heart for all to see.
With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.
And fighting time so much I ask.
I will this morning last forever.
Though seasons change and things come to pass
Remain inside of me.
And fighting time so hard I pray
that this moment lasts forever.
And will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I had no faith before that day in any vow or deed.
Days followed days and years were meaningless.
Despite the wisdom of defeat
I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I'd seen
