靜止的哀愁

自溺的情緒，
充斥著心，
他就像從地獄來的天使，
悄悄地靠近我那脆弱的心旁，
注入我腦海中已經停頓許久的血液

And You're Lazy,
So There's Nothing Can Stop You Now,
From Sleeping And You're Breathing In A Silence That Will Drug You So Completely
That You're Drowning In A Liquid That Is Glowing With Strange Substance,
And Your Mind Will Show You Pictures Of Your Body Without Feeling,
Then You're Rising To The Surface Of An Awareness That's Unconscious,
And You're Dreaming Of Real Violance With No Consequence, With No Meaning...
You're Not Free Now,
But Unfolding,
And You're Beautiful In The Light... You're Not Free Now,
You're Not Innocent,
But You're Transparent,
And You're Right...

Michael Gira，
曾經是異教歌德名團 Swans的團長，
Swans的音樂從來就不是易於接受的音樂，
它可以輕易地腐蝕你的心，
女主唱 Jarboe的歌聲，
有如鬼影一般，
在心中環繞著，
以工業搖滾作為他們低調音樂的根基，
歌詞中充滿著對世俗一切表象虛偽那一面的不信任，
Michael Gira幼年被雞姦的悲慘回憶，
讓他對性，對亂倫有另一番的解讀，
天鵝的音樂，
能輕易地震撼你那無知未經世事的心靈，
當 Jarboe唱著 Blind Faith的絕世名曲
Can't Find My Way Home時，
心智有如迷失一般，

You can't always find what you really want!  So what you want?

Gira以 Angels Of Light所發表的 New Mother，
是如此的悽美，
運用了大量的弦樂編制，
所創作出來的是那有如聖樂一般的風格，
罪惡亂倫與對人性的不信任，
充滿著那有如天籟一般的樂音之中，
低聲喘息，
我低聲喘息，
我活在那不可知的陰影之中......
