Lyrics
I rage I melt
A certain lady wants you
she needs a man to talk to
she has a lot of saying
just watch the children praying
to their God.
She can't go out, she's under steel sky
stuck inside this place forever
another voice inside her head high
calling all the names together
of the girl.
She can't go out she's under steel sky
something's burning to be from her
screaming people making her cry
to get away is like a nightmare…
she's lost before these last few years
she's lost before she's out of here
Rage and Melt…
…to her God.
A certain lady wants you
for her girl.
Red (for Chris)
A slick on the tarmac, a corner from nowhere
the needle's touching ninety
and I don't want to hurry you (don't want to hurry you)
and the road hits the roof as the car turns over
I watch you going backwards
and the seal of your life now lies there broken.
And it feels like a miracle
tonight I watch you going backwards
and the glass in your lap, and the glass in your face lies
glinting in red
and the road hits the roof as the car turns over
I feel you there beside me
and my hand comes away from the back of your head
glinting in red
To see you stand and take my hand
would have to be a miracle
You're laying still beside the wheel
so twisted it's impossible
I wait for you to tell me that it's all been
just another dream
but how can you tell, when it's so true
true
how can you tell when it's so red?
Notes
Suddenly the voice is louder than the music. Suddenly a roar erupts from the crowd. Click Click found a successful formula with this particular song, a mixture of noise and rhythm hurtling forward in a relentless display of pure gothic electronica. To experience it live was something few ever forgot.
The ethereal cry heard at the opening of the song cropped up again on Shadowblack. It was actually a treated recording of Adrian's 1 year old daughter, crying for food.
The sleeve picture is an infrared image of a series of rivers seen from space.Sudden is a recording of version #2 of the song, the original being an electronic instrumental written for the documentary Zygosis.
