Nervous Testpilot "A Functioning God" / YanaCroft "Darkness On My Palm" ~ YanaCroft Cover (Тьма На Ладони)
When I first heard this track, I felt I had to sing it, but it didn't feel right to sail through the entire song on lalala (as obviously it is an instrumental track and has no lyrics). An old text came to mind that I wrote 20 years ago. I tried to apply it and it seems to fit. Do not look for any meaning between the lines, coz there is none. I was just inspired by a tragic love story and the Japanese book I read at the time, and was simply exercising in rhymes. This track though really blew my mind. Bravo, nervous_testpilot!
I suppress my grief and pain.
All my efforts sunk in vain.
Getting rid of choking chain,
After fall, I rise again
I no longer care or smile,
Only smirking in denial.
I no longer look beneath,
Taking everything with ease.
I do not reflect on past.
What's the point? It didn't last.
Slowly, steady turning calm,
Stare at Darkness on my palm...
Into abyss on my hand.
No attempt to comprehend,
No more effort to excuse
Awful, hideous abuse.
Pain is crashing, harm is done,
I was sure you were the One.
Voice within me toughly calls:
"Evil Rises! Darkness Falls!"
Through my palm, inside my soul,
Getting harder to control
Darkness that consumes my heart,
Ripping soul inside apart
How much longer should I fight
To protect my inner light?
Wish I could have found the balm,
Healing Darkness on my palm
Voice within me toughly calls:
"Evil Rises! Darkness Falls!"
Out, my anger! Out, my rage!
Scream for freedom! Off the cage!
I'm not used to giving up
After fall, I MUST stand up...
Arise..ascend

Interesting choice of cover may I ask why?

[@ArsenicPoison]

This instrumental track "spoke" to me the moment I heard it for the first time and I combined it with the lyrics I wrote 20 years ago (see description). Since Feb 2022 there were many heavy covers here as I lived through the world events and expressed them through music. But this particular cover is a closure of that gestalt. It is time to elevate the vibrations and weave a brighter, happier tunes.
