Assemblage 23 - 'Ground'

[wizardpen13]

Sometimes, I think what's interesting about Goth music is its element of resolution and consequence. So much music in other genres falls into the energy of a single feeling and runs with it -- happiness, agony, love, despair, or whatnot. I find a lot of my Goth stuff grabs the expression of that feeling, and transforms it into something more than just what it is on the surface.

I like the idea that we should dance what wells inside of us. Regardless of the nature of what it is. We should embrace it, fuel it, revel in it, and let it explode from us in blooming kaleidoscopic ecstasy. It seems to help in dealing with difficult things, especially... Dancing is magical and healing; Goth music can be healing.

This is one of my favorite songs.

Be still
Though chaos rains around you now
Only so much rain can fall at once

Breathe in
And let the air envelope you
And slow but sure, serenity will come

Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground
Beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns
Around

Stand up
Though circumstance has knocked you down
There is nothing gained by staying within it's reach

Take strength
In every failure you endure
Our mistakes have many lessons they can teach

Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground
Beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns
Around

Destroy
These walls you've built around yourself
You can't take another step until they're gone

Move out
No use in dwelling in the past
Bid farewell to all your fears and carry on

Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground
Beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns
Around

Close your eyes
Try to breathe
Feel the ground
Beneath your feet
It's still there
The world still turns
Around
