  • Age Of Shadows / We Are Forever from Ayreon's 01011001 which was released in 2008.
    Order: lnk.to/Ayreon
    LYRICS:
    [Tom Englund:]
    We never saw this coming
    Pride comes before a fall
    We never heeded the warnings
    Buried deep within us all
    [Chorus:]
    [Steve Lee:] The age of shadows has begun
    [Daniel Gildenlöw:] Giant machines blot out the sun
    [Steve Lee:] Frozen minds becoming numb
    [Daniel Gildenlöw:] The age of shadows has begun
    [Steve Lee:] The age of Shadows has begun
    [Daniel Gildenlöw:] I won't accept what we've become
    [Steve Lee:] We stand to lose more than we've won
    [Daniel Gildenlöw:] The age of Shadows has begun
    [Tom Englund:]
    Our quenchless thirst for knowledge
    Our urge to change and grow
    Our need to expand the nation
    Made us rise from the depths below
    [Chorus]
    [Hansi Kursch:] No more aggression
    [Floor Jansen:] No more initiative
    [Hansi Kursch:] No more suppression
    [Floor Jansen:] No more emotions
    [Hansi Kursch:] No more resection
    [Floor Jansen:] No more of all the feelings that shaped our hearts and made us who we are
    [Hansi Kursch:] No more possessions
    [Floor Jansen:] No more suspicious
    [Hansi Kursch:] No more obsessions
    [Floor Jansen:] No more sensations
    [Hansi Kursch:] No more depression
    [Floor Jansen:] No more of all the passions that shaped our hearts and made us who we are
    [Jonas Renkse:]
    Time (time, time) but a passageway (a passageway, a passageway)
    The beginning of the end (of the end)
    An end that never was (was, was, was)
    Time (time, time) but a curve in space (curve in space, curve in)
    We are forever (we are forever, we are forever) eternal prisoners in time (in time, in time)
    We are forever (we are forever) caught in our cold inertia
    Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one...
    [Anekke van Giersberg:]
    Forever we yearn, forever we learn
    Forever we live a lie, forever sleeping by and
    Forever we flee (forever we flee), forever we will be,
    Forever is but a dream, forever is but a scream and
    Forever we try, forever we die,
    The spell of love wore off
    The zest for life not enough
    Longing, hoping, waiting, for no one
    Never enough

    5:56 the part that begins here is the most beautiful thing I've ever known, not just in music, but forever. And I've done acid and many different psychedelics, I've cried to beauty, but this part is too beautiful for tears. It freezes my soul, quite literally. All thoughts ceases to exist. That's how beautiful this passage is.

    Haunting! Every time I hear this song I can feel what it might be like to be trapped like that. Unable to even truly feel just how horrified you are, knowing only that you have lost your ability to feel alive - stuck in an endless undying depression. Except you can't even feel sad anymore.

    PUBLIC AANOUNCEMENT:
    I was trying to decipher all those one's and zero's to see the message behind them: Turns out that there are binary translators out there. Here is how it works: turns out that any combination of 8 one's and zero's can be turned into a letter of the alphabet. Here is the translation to the song:
    Zero (one) one (zero) one (zero) zero (zero) = H
    zero (one) one (zero) zero (one) zero (one) = E
    zero (one) one (zero) one (one) zero (zero) = L

    This is the first song I heard from Arjen. It was on an online rock radio station. I remember just being blown away by the vocalists but also it was 'my kind of music'. Music with a story, music with complexity and emotion and a sense of theatre. 15 years later, I'd say that Ayreon is now possibly my biggest influence in my own music production.

    • @Pink_Panzer
      @Pink_Panzer 5 месяцев назад +1

      I like to call this kind of music 'active' because you have to actively listen actively pay attention to what is being said. Unlike many sad toad music these days, this music has real meaning.

    • @SarazenStudios
      @SarazenStudios 5 месяцев назад +1

      @@Pink_Panzer Well said. It's multi-dimensional. I work in schools and I am often depressed by the musical taste of students but this kind of music is a bit like spicy food or beer, they are unattractive to the palate of young people but then strangely become delicious as you age. Also i think young people are so drawn in by visuals in modern music. Arjen's music conjures visions in the mind and doesn't need video to sell it to me. As most modern music is tailored for consumption by young people, I guess we have to suffer the shallow and instantly forgettable pap that they produce these days. It's easy to become disenchanted by the fact that amazing music like this is not in the mainstream but it is there waiting for those who seek it out like you and me. I just feel bad for the artists who will never have the rewards for their work like their infinitely less talented mainstream counterparts who are rolling in cash.

    Also some of those choirs are giving me Hansi Kurch vibes, and that's just awesome. What's also awesome is how those dreams in the end sound so much like Lande's

    I got a little nostalgic coming back to listen to this today. 12 years ago I came across this song while looking for music to listen to studying in a computer lab. I remember having to pause everything I was doing when the part around 4:10 started because I was like "Wait, What is this amazing song I'm listening to??". I had to pause again to make sure I got it right that they were singing in binary around 7:30 hahaha
    I dove deep into Ayreon's discography afterwards and its been my favorite band/musical project since. This is still one of my absolute favorite songs of yours Arjen and IMO one of the most iconic from Ayreon.
    Thank you for all of the great music you have provided over the years!

      Interesting suggestion. I like games, and anime; and I like prog - including prog metal - too, so I am very surprised to hear that something of the nature of a Japanese-made game/anime might have an analogue to something like this.
      I am going to check out the OST now.
      Thanks for the suggestion, and for being so bold as to mention something of such a different genre - paying no mind to any preconceptions of what such an origin for sound may typically sound like. :)
      Cheers.

    Portuguese lyrics ;-)
    Era de Sombras
    [Bilhões de anos atrás, em uma galáxia distante, fica o planeta Y, habitado por uma raça aquática conhecida como Eternos. Através do avanço tecnológico, os Eternos quase alcançaram a imortalidade; no entanto, eles se tornaram totalmente dependentes de máquinas e se desviaram da essência de seu ser, perdendo até mesmo sua capacidade de experimentar emoções.]
    [Tom Englund:]
    Nós nunca vimos isto chegar
    Orgulho vem antes da queda
    Nunca demos atenção aos avisos
    Que sempre esteve enterrado em nós
    (Refrão)
    [Steve Lee:]A Era das Sombras começou
    [Daniel Gindelow:]Máquinas gigantes mancham o Sol
    [Steve Lee:]Mentes congeladas se tornando entorpecidas
    [Daniel Gindelow:]A Era das Sombras começou
    [Steve Lee:]A Era das Sombras começou
    [Daniel Gindelow:]Eu não aceito no quê nos tornamos
    [Steve Lee:]Nós ficamos a perder muito mais do que ganhamos
    [Daniel Gindelow:]A Era das Sombras começou
    [Tom Englund:]
    Nossa insaciável sede por conhecimento
    Nossa urgência de mudar e crescer
    Nossa necessidade de expandir a nação
    Nos fez ascender das profundezas
    (Refrão)

    Tempo (tempo, tempo) mas uma maneira de se passar (uma passagem, uma passagem)
    O início do fim (do final)
    Do final que nunca houve (houve, houve)
    Tempo (tempo, tempo) mas uma curva no espaço (curva no espaço, curva no)
    Nós somos eternos (nós somos eternos, nós somos eternos) Eternos prisioneiros do tempo (do tempo, do tempo)
    Nós somos eternos (nós somos eternos) pegos em nossa fria inércia
    Desejando, almejando, esperando, por ninguém
    [Anekke van Giersberg:]
    Eternos nós somos, eternamente aprendemos
    Eternamente viveremos uma mentira, eternamente passando perto e
    Eternamente iremos fugir (eternamente iremos fugir), eternos seremos
    Eternos como um sonho, eternos como um grito e
    Eternamente nós tentaremos, eternamente morreremos

At some point, you really need to question how much they never saw this coming.

    Lyrics in italiano:
    Non ce ne siamo mai accori
    l'orgoglio prima di tutto
    non abbiamo mai dato ascolta ai segni
    nascosti nel profondo di tutti noi
    L'era delle ombre è cominciata
    Macchine giganti hanno oscurato il sole
    menti congelate diventano insensibili
    L'era delle ombre è cominciata
    L'era delle ombre è cominciata
    Non accetterò ciò che siamo diventati
    perderemo più di quanto abbiamo guadagnato
    L'era delle ombre è cominciata
    La nostra insaziabile sete di conoscenza
    il nostro bisogno di cambiare e crescere
    Il nostro bisogno di espandere la nazione
    ci ha sollevati dalle profondità
    Mai più aggressioni
    Mai più iniziative
    Mai più soppressioni
    Mai più emozioni
    Mai più operazioni
    Mai più emozioni
    che hanno dato forma ai nostri cuori
    e ci hanno resi ciò che siamo
    Mai più possesso
    Mai più sospetto
    Mai più ossessione
    Mai più sensazioni
    Mai più depressione
    Mai più passioni
    che hanno dato forma ai nostri cuori
    e ci hanno resi ciò che siamo
    Tempo (tempo, tempo)
    una passaggio (un passaggio, un passaggio)
    L'inizio della fine (della fine)
    Una fine che non è mai stata (stata, stata, stata)
    Tempo (tempo, tempo)
    una curva nello spazio (curva nello spazio, curva)
    Siamo per sempre (siamo per sempre, siamo per sempre)
    eterni prigionieri del tempo (del tempo, del tempo)
    Siamo per sempre (siamo per sempre)
    bloccati dalla nostra fredda inerzia
    Inseguendo, sperando, attendendo nessuno
    Per sempre desideriamo, per sempre impariamo
    Per sempre viviamo una menzogna,
    per sempre continuiamo a dormire
    Per sempre fuggiamo (per sempre in fuga),
    per sempre saremo,
    Forever è un sogno,
    Forever è un grido
    Per sempre proveremo, per sempre moriremo.
    L'incantesimo di vita si è consumato
    Il gusto della vita non è abbastanza
    Inseguendo, sperando, attendendo nessuno
    Mai abbastanza

      krisdaschwab912 Yep, can't deny that. But I think that the origin of the actual songwriter matters more than the origin of the singers. Also in prog I wouldn't put much weight on the origin of an artist. It's not like for example in black metal where you can find a distinct musical distinction between Norwegian black metal and the new wave American black metal style.
