    This song is about Xu Lizhi, a young Chinese worker who ended his life back in 2014. During his short lifetime, he wrote some wondrous poems. The poems were about the hard and unforgiving lives of the workers. The song's name is a reference to one of his poems: "I swallowed a Moon Made of Iron"
    He was born only two weeks after I came to this world and while I was living an easy life my parents provided me, he lived in the shadows of factories, enslaved by corporations blinded by avarice. He was a beautiful person in a fucked up world.

      this was the poem
      I swallowed a moon made of iron / They call it Screw
      I swallowed the industrial effluent, orders of unemployment / The youths lower than machines have untimely died young
      I swallowed the toil, swallowed the displacement, / Swallowed the overpasses, swallowed the life full of limescale
      I can't swallow any more / All I’ve swallowed down are surging out of my throat,
      Spreading out across the territory of my country and becoming a / Poem of shame

    "Iron Moon"
    A dead sun, a pale glow
    Upon the walls I feign to know
    We bear no fruit, no flowers, no life
    And we get sick but never die
    Become an echo
    Resounding “let go”
    My heart is a tomb
    My heart is an empty room
    I've given it away
    I never want to see it again
    I go to him in paths of dreams
    In bed awake with shadow beings
    They crawl inside and wait with me
    The creatures here become machines
    Walk with me to a place of trust
    Death will no longer silence us
    My heart is a tomb
    My heart is an empty room
    I've given it away
    I never want to see it again
    And all your words could save me
    But keep your love away from me
    In all the world's decaying
    Is there a place that’s safe for us?
    My heart is a tomb
    My heart is an empty room
    I've given it away
    I've swallowed the iron moon
    Moon, moon

      Herr Schaft she's hyped now but she's been around for a while and people who 've followed her for a while love her so much she has a sort of cult following. its nice that she's getting more and more popular cause she deserves all success and the world deserves to listen to better music compared to 99% of shit out there.

    我弥留之际》
    “On My Deathbed”
    我想再看一眼大海,目睹我半生的泪水有多汪洋
    I want to take another look at the ocean, behold the vastness of tears from half a lifetime
    我想再爬一爬高高的山头,试着把丢失的灵魂喊回来
    I want to climb another mountain, try to call back the soul that I’ve lost
    我还想摸一摸天空,碰一碰那抹轻轻的蓝
    I want to touch the sky, feel that blueness so light
    可是这些我都办不到了,我就要离开这个世界了
    But I can’t do any of this, so I’m leaving this world
    所有听说过我的人们啊
    Everyone who’s heard of me
    不必为我的离开感到惊讶
    Shouldn’t be surprised at my leaving
    更不必叹息,或者悲伤
    Even less should you sigh or grieve
    我来时很好,去时,也很好
    I was fine when I came, and fine when I left.

    《一颗螺丝掉在地上》
    "A Screw Fell to the Ground"
    一颗螺丝掉在地上
    A screw fell to the ground
    在这个加班的夜晚
    In this dark night of overtime
    垂直降落,轻轻一响
    Plunging vertically, lightly clinking
    不会引起任何人的注意
    It won’t attract anyone’s attention
    就像在此之前
    Just like last time
    某个相同的夜晚
    On a night like this
    有个人掉在地上
    When someone plunged to the ground

Very unique sound she has so happy I found her.

    Chelsea Wolfe is my new favourite musician to listen to. I just bought part of her album Abyss on iTunes...the reason being that I had already spent much of my money buying a full album by TV On The Radio from iTunes. Her songs are really good. They capture my sombre angst as a twenty-something man teetering on the edge of loneliness. When I do get another gift card, I'll be sure to complete the album collection by buying the remaining songs I didn't get to buy on iTunes.

    Lyrics
    A dead sun, a pale glow
    Upon the walls I feign to know
    We bear no fruit, no flowers, no life
    And we get sick but never die
    Become an echo
    Resounding "let go"
    My heart is a tomb
    My heart is an empty room
    I've given it away
    I never want to see it again
    I go to him in paths of dreams
    In bed awake with shadow beings
    They crawl inside and wait with me
    The creatures here become machines
    Walk with me to a place of trust
    Death will no longer silence us
    My heart is a tomb
    My heart is an empty room
    I've given it away
    I never want to see it again
    And all your words could save me
    But keep your love away from me
    In all the worlds decaying
    Is there place that's safe for us?
    My heart is a tomb
    My heart is an empty room
    I've given it away
    I've swallowed the iron moon
    Moon, moon
