January 19 Tim Booth - dance of bad angelsTim Booth and the bad angel - The dance of bad angelsWhat a journey,
so hard to describe. Your harbour so small, The ocean so wide. Spin the wheel, spin the wheel. go wherever she spins. Surrender to this wave that's rolling in. Homing fingers Raising expectations. What a feeling under the stars. I'm so shaken, about to explode. Oh my god, please take me now... See the statue growing wings. Dance with me around this fire,
I don't believe that God exists, but I believe in you... January 18 Redemption at the perfect time... You know, there are a lot of occassions where people, for one reason or for other, blame themselves. That appears mostly
when someone thinks of himself/herself as too weak to resolve the situation that is at hand. And most of the time, happens
to people that are emotional (or emos), but for someone to be emotional doesn't mean that he has to listen to music or cut
his hair in a way. Emotions are what define us from machines. But the worst part is, sadness becomes guilt and then it's
starting to pull you down, without control of it.
And there are no angels. There is no heaven or hell to begin with. I can only do the things I do for good, because the good
inside me exists by its own and not because a religion is forcing me to do it. So there is no divine authority that will start doing
its work to make things right. And sooner or later, the person must either try to make this right or trap himself in his dreams that
tried to make real.
That kind of person is me.
When the crossroad of life comes underneath our feet, we can either decide to stick inside a room, forever thinking how can
we be so wrong, how can we be so guilty and why did we let this happen... Or to accept what is done as past and make our hearts
sold rock, carrying on with our lives and be sure that the past mistakes won't be also the future.
But for such a thing to happen for me, such a great change, I needed a person to guide me, to believe in me, to offer me her hand
in the right time, to trust me. A kind person, filled with true compassion, that was almost always near me and I couldn't see it, for my
judgement was blind.
Thank you, Olga
 you are a true friend  Sum 41 - In too deepThe faster we’re falling,
We’re stopping and stalling We’re running in circles again Just as things we’re looking up You said it wasn’t good enough But still we’re trying One more time Maybe we’re just Trying too hard When really it’s closer Than it is too far 'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep, Up above in my head Instead of going under 'Cause I’m in too deep And I’m trying to keep, Up above in my head Instead of going under Instead of going under Seems like each time
I’m with you I loose my mind, Because I’m bending over Backwards to relate It’s one thing to complain But when you’re Driving me insane Well then I think it’s time That we took a break Maybe we’re just
Trying too hard When really it’s closer Than it is too far 'Cause I’m in too deep
And I’m trying to keep, Up above in my head Instead of going under 'Cause I’m in too deep And I’m trying to keep, Up above in my head Instead of going under Instead of going under Instead of going under I can’t sit back
And wonder why It took so long for this to die And I hate it when you fake it You can’t hide it you might As well embrace it So believe me it’s not easy It seems that Something’s telling me 'Cause I’m in too deep And I’m trying to keep, Up above in my head Instead of going under 'Cause I’m in too deep And I’m trying to keep, Up above in my head Instead of going under Instead of going under Instead of going under again January 17 Anathema - Fragile dreamsTonight your soul sleeps, but one day you will feel real pain,
maybe then you will see mee as I am, A fragile wreck on a storm of emotion. Countless times I trusted you,
I let you back in, Knowing... Yearning... you know? I should have run... but I stayed. Maybe I always knew,
My fragile dreams would be broken for you... Today I introduced myself,
To my own feelings, In silent agony, after all these years, They spoke to me... after all these years... Maybe I always knew... Cranberries - Electric blue eyesElectric blue eyes, where did you come from?
Electric blue eyes, who sent you? Electric blue eyes, always be near me, Electric blue eyes, I need you (Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh) Domine, Domine, Deus
Domine, Adiuva Me Domine, Domine, Deus Domine, Adiu, Adiuma Me Hey,eh, hey, eh If you should go, you should know...I love you If you should go, you should know..I'm here Always be near me, guardian angel Always be near me, there's no fear (Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh, Na, na, noh) Διάφανα κρίνα - Η αγάπη είναι ένας σκύλος απ'την κόλαση.Πάνω μου γέρνει ένας σακάτης ουρανός.
Ριγούν τ' αστέρια, πέφτουν στο αδιάβροχό μου. Είναι συνήθεια που έχω από μικρός ν΄ αγαπάω ό,τι με σπρώχνει στο χαμό μου... Υφαίνω σάβανα με ήλιους παιδικούς,
αναρωτιέμαι αν θα βρω κάποιο σου χνάρι. Μαθαίνω νέα σου από δαίμονες τρελούς, απ΄ αστροναύτες που σε είδαν στο φεγγάρι... Κάνω παρέα με λεπρούς που θέλουν χάδια,
μ' άγια ρεμάλια και μυαλά σακατεμένα. Κατατρεγμένους που αγκαλιάζουνε σκοτάδια. μήπως ακούσω και μου πουν κάτι για σένα... Και έτσι βυθίζομαι στην άβυσσο μ΄ απόγνωση
αφού μακριά σου έτσι κι αλλιώς είμαι χαμένος. Η αγάπη είναι ένας σκύλος απ΄ την κόλαση και εγώ έχω φτάσει εκεί και την προσμένω... Κάποτε δεν πίστευα στην μοίρα. Είχα την εντύπωση πως όλα περνάνε από το χέρι μας, πως μπορούμε να διορθώσουμε τα σφάλματα και να καταφέρουμε πολλά αν προσπαθήσουμε σκληρά να πάμε κόντρα στα εμπόδια που εμφανίζονται κατά καιρούς και οφείλονται κυρίως από έλλειψη σωστής επικοινωνίας ή διαφορές καταστάσεις που εμείς ευθυνόμαστε και όμως, δεν αποδεχόμαστε πως διορθώνονται...
Τώρα πλέον, πιστεύω πως μπορεί να μην υπάρχει η μοίρα όπως την εννοεί ο λαός, αλλά υπάρχει ένα "σενάριο στο περίπου" με πρωταγωνιστές εμάς, να το μετατρέπουμε σε κωμωδία, σε δράμα, σε περιπέτεια επικών διαστάσεων. Να κάνουμε τα δύσκολα - εύκολα και το αντίστροφο, να παλεύουμε για την επιβίωση ανάμεσα στα σενάρια που μας δείχνει καθημερινά ο ήλιος και να ησυχάζουμε στο φώς του φεγγαριού, με την ελπίδα ό,τι αύριο μπορεί να είναι καλύτερα από χθές και ό,τι όλα τα εμπόδια θα χαθούν με την καλή θέληση και την κατανόηση των ανθρώπων που μας αγαπάνε, αλλά και με τις δικές μας προσπάθειες...
Όμως, κάποια πράγματα που δεν είναι στο σενάριο, δεν θα γίνουν ποτέ όσο και να προσπαθήσουμε. Στον κόσμο των άπειρων πιθανοτήτων τότε, ένα όνειρο αρχίζει να σβήνει όπως το φώς των αστεριών που γίνονται ορατά αφού χαθούν.
Και το μόνο αληθινά υπαρκτό αλλά όχι απτό, γίνεται στο τέλος μόνο το γλυκό συναίσθημα της δίψας για όνειρο:
Η αγάπη. January 15 My anthem.This is the first day of my last days.
Built it up, now take it apart. Climbed up real high now fall down real far. No need for me to stay, the last thing left, I just threw it away! I put my faith in god and my trust in you: now there's nothing more fucked up i could do! Wish there was something real, wish there was something true.
Wish there was something real in this world full of...you! I'm the one without a soul,
I'm the one with this big fucking hole! No new tale to tell, twenty-six years on my way to hell... Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck. Don't think you're having all the fun, you know me : I hate everyone! Wish there was something real, wish there was something true. I want to but I can't turn back
but I want to but I can't turn back but I want to but I can't turn back but I want to but I can't turn back
but I want to but I can't turn back
but I want to but I can't turn back
but i want to but i can't turn back...
Let me break down the lyrics for you :
It's about a strong addiction that made you go that far to satisfy it that you eventually took the downhill without noticing. Then all of a sudden, you realise
that you wasted your time with it, and now you are trying to break away with anger and hate. But no matter how much you are trying to evaluate it, the urge
is still residing inside to go back because it made you feel good. That would be either cigarettes, alcohol, drugs or love.
"Wish" got a grammy award for "Best metal performance" in 1992.
Respect NIN.
Marilyn Manson - Beautiful peopleAnd I don't want you and I don't need you!
Don't bother to resist, or I'll beat you. It's not your fault that you're always wrong: The weak ones are there to justify the strong! The beautiful people, the beautiful people!
It's all relative to the size of your steeple... You can't see the forest for the trees, you can't smell your own shit on your knees! There's no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker that's in your way! Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free? Hey you, are you trying to be mean? If you live with the apes man, it's hard to be clean... The worms will live in every host.
It's hard to pick which one they eat most. The horrible people, the horrible people!
It's as anatomic as the size of your steeple. Capitalism has made it this way, old-fashioned fascism will take it away! Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free? Hey you, are you trying to be mean? If you live with the apes man, it's hard to be clean... Ok, I definitely need to write a summary about this song because most of the kids out
there will just say "Hey, it's easy, Manson is antisocial and he likes to generalize
with hating everyone that stands in his way."
WRONG!
The theme of The Great Gatsby (Scott F. Fitzgerald) was that people believe they are more important than each other, and wont
hesitate to use other people as stepping-stones as they see fit. Essentially that's the theme of this song;
it's a satirical piece describing people that believe others are lesser humans, while the "beautiful people"
that believe they got the right to humiliate others can't see the truth beyond their nose but only what
they believe.
I rest my case  Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, And as we wind on down the road And she's buying a stairway to heaven... January 13 AFI - Prelude 12/21This is what I brought you,
This you can keep. This is what I brought, You may forget me. I promise to depart Just promise one thing. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. This is what I brought you,
This you can keep. This is what I brought, You may forget me. I promise you my heart, Just promise to sing. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I thought,
I thought you need me. This is what I thought, So think me naïve. I promise you a heart, You promise to keep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep. Kiss my eyes and lay me to… Sleep. January 12 Coma white + Coma black = L.F.E.Today I thought to make a tribute to 2 Marilyn Manson songs that I like very much. One of them is Coma White :
There's something cold and blank
behind her smile She's standing on an overpass In her miracle mile You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today Today to run away A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall Just bleeding like a polaroid that Lost all her dolls You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today Today to run away A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb A pill to make you anybody else But all the drugs in this world Won't save her from herself ...and the other is Coma black :
My mouth was a crib and it was growing lies
I didn't know what love was on that day my heart's a tiny bloodclot I picked at it it never heals it never goes away I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye we were too dumb to run too dead to die This was never my world you took the angel away I'd kill myself to make everybody pay This was never my world you took the angel away I'd kill myself to make everybody pay I would have told her then she was the only thing that I could love in this dying world but the simple word "love" itself already died and went away This was never my world you took the angel away I'd kill myself to make everybody pay This was never my world you took the angel away I'd kill myself to make everybody pay I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye we were too dumb to run too dead to die... Also, I found somewhere a perfect description for these songs so, I thought to give it to you :
I think that this is a song that continues from "Coma White". I think "Coma White" was about a girl...named Coma White.
She tried to take drugs to make her happy, but that couldn't "save her from herself", so she killed herself. In "Coma White", Coma says "...a world that threw me away today, to run away." and in this song (Coma Black, duh.) it mentions running away, too, but not singular..."we were too dumb to run, too dead to die." I think this means Coma Black was Coma White's lover.
Coma Black probably denied Coma White's suicidalness at first ("My mouth was a crib and it was growing lies") and had problems expressing his love to her ("I would have told her then she was the only thing that I could love in this dying world, but the simple word of "love" itself already died and went away"). Now Coma Black feels out of place because he misses her so much ("This was never my world you took the angel away, I'd kill myself to make everybody pay") In this case, Coma White is the angel who couldn't take living in a perfect world anymore (Coma White:"You were from a perfect world, a world that threw me away...") And as for "Apple of Discord", "Her heart's bloodstained egg. We didn't handle with care. It's broken and bleeding and we can never repair": this stands for Coma White's dead hope and heart, and no one really tried to help her, they should have "handled with care". But now they can't repair it.
So, yeah, I guess the Eden Eye is the "perfect world" and now that he's "burned all the good things" in it and lost his love who he never got to tell how much he cared, he feels like killing himself to get back at it (the perfect world). No title tonight...
My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I..
January 10 Sisters of mercy - moreSome people get by
with a little understanding. Some people get by with a whole lot more! I don't know why you gotta be so undemanding. One thing I know: I want more! And I need all the love that I can't get to...
and I need all the love I can get... and I need all the love that I can't get to... D'you get scared to feel so much?
To let somebody touch you? So hot, so cold, so far so out of control. Hard to come by, and harder to hold. Some people get by
with a little understanding. Some people get by with a whole lot more...  January 08 This world is just...illusionPlease don't go, I want you to stay, I am begging you please, please don't leave here. I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel, the world is just illusion, trying to change you... I wish I had listen to VNV Nation sooner I like them a lot!Well, today's topic has got to do with... A travel! :D Tomorrow I might head out to Thessaloniki and see a friend of mine, but I don't know for sure yet, I had to make some blood tests today but I overslept (:sleepyhead: zzZzZzZ :sleepyhead:) so it will depend if I go up to Thess or not, but I will definitely just...take the train and go wherever it goes. I need to go outside, badly. Far away from here, I don't care. Let's go to the jungle, the animals are far more civilized compared with many humans anyway (although a human is an animal in biology terms, I know your "egoism" won't admit it!). One thing is certain : I am gonna have a great time! January 07 My resolve for 2008 is...Purple flying dolphins! ... No, of course not. But my resolve is huge enough for words to try and grasp, so I will stick to a small fact : WΕΒ Developer needed. Joomla, PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript required That's the kind of a job I would like to get in the first 3 months of 2008. Technicial is so boring... January 06 The voices told me to do this... :p Οκ, ώρα για λίγα ελληνικά, αυτά που θα γράψω περιέχουν ορισμούς που δεν γνωρίζω πως διατυπώνονται στα αγγλικά (nooooooooob ^^ ). Λοιπόν, εντελώς τυχαία και ξαφνικά, μου ήρθε να μιλήσω για τα πράγματα που φέρνουν έναν άντρα και μια γυναίκα κοντά (και δεν λέω άλλα παραδείγματα σαν μύθους του Αισώπου με σκυλάκια και γατάκια, να βάλετε φαιά ουσία να κυλάει για να καταλάβετε χύμα!). Το πρώτο και κυριότερο πράγμα που φέρνει το φαινόμενο "έρωτας" είναι η χημεία. Ακριβώς! Ούτε αν το άτομο που θα θέλατε το θέλετε με πράσινα μάτια, ούτε κοινά ενδιαφέροντα, ούτε κοινή μουσική! Χημεία! Αυτό το πιστεύω εδώ και πάρα πολύ καιρό, όμως με τον έναν ή με τον άλλον λόγο με παρεξηγούν. Τώρα, αν κάποιος για παράδειγμα γνωρίσει τον άλλον καλά και ταιριάξουν και τα μουσικά γούστα ή ακούσει για πρώτη φορά ένα είδος μουσικής που τον προσελκύει μακροπρόθεσμα, δεν έχει να λέει ΤΙ-ΠΟ-ΤΑ, γιατί η μουσική είναι κάτι καθαρά υποκειμενικό, όπως λέμε "αγαπημένη ομάδα" και "αγαπημένο φαγητό"! Οι λόγοι για τους οποίους θα ακούσει την μουσική με τους λόγους που ερωτεύτηκε δεν είναι οι ίδιοι (το θεωρώ αξιολύπητο να αγαπάς με το τραγούδι και όχι με την καρδιά). Με λίγα λόγια, μπορώ να ταιριάζω με πολλά κορίτσια σε μουσικά γούστα, δεν έχει να λέει κάτι. Δεύτερον : Αν κάποιο πρόσωπο το αγαπάτε αληθινά, αφήστε το να φύγει. Αν δεν γυρίσει πίσω, μην κάνετε το κόπο να το κυνηγήσετε, δεν ήταν ποτέ δικό σας. Αν γυρίσει, θα είστε μαζί για πάντα. Αυτό έχω μάθει από την εμπειρία μου και αν δεν το έχετε βιώσει, όσες γραμμές και να γράψω βασισμένο σε αυτό, χαμένες θα πάνε :p Και τελευταίο, αν είστε μονόπλευρα ερωτευμένοι (είτε βρεθήκατε ξαφνικά μετά απο χωρισμό, είτε δεν είχε προχωρήσει ποτέ το θέμα), τότε η καλύτερη επιλογή είναι να αποδεχτείτε την κατάσταση όπως έχει. Αυτό γιατί μεν θα σας γλυτώσει από το να γίνετε emo σαν εμένα και το βασικότερο, αν όντως αγαπάτε θα θέλετε την ευτυχία του/της, ακόμα και αν αυτή η ευτυχία έχει την φωλιά της αλλού.  The farthest star!We possess the power, if this should start to fall apart, to mend divides, to change the world, to reach the farthest star... If we fall and break, all the tears in the world cannot make us whole again. January 05 UBUNTUUUUUUUUUU!!! So, I decided to change OS from windows XP to Linux Ubuntu 7.10. And the reason is three-folded : First and foremost important for me, is to become familiar with it, because, more than half of the available jobs as a network engineer require from the employee to be familiar with terminal commands and troubleshooting the big companies that they are working with, that mind you, all of them got a linux either as a fileserver (samba), as a routing machine, as a web-hosting server etc. Second and less important is that, I tend to be mazochistic... A lot! I know I will eat my face off with a lot of problems that will appear, from ATI installation to character encoding, but that's part of a geek's life : to overcome the obstacles :D And third : almost all of my friends are bragging about their linux-OS :blush: so, why not me? :p Edit : YATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! (as Hiro Nakamura said ^^ )  I think I am mostly done with the appearance part. Awm + compiz + emerald ftw! I am too afraid to use ATI's restricted drivers but I might have to. Also, on mp3 players it's Amarok > all (lyrics scrobbing + last.fm profile)!!!1!1!1oneone!1!1!one!!!!eleven!!! :p January 03 About this blog's title Another day draws to a close. And what a day that was. After a lot of convincing and pressure, they finally got me to start going to a gym, that might be far from my area but, it's way better than most of the gyms that we have here! Well, the topic that I want to talk about today is the title of my blog : "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men that do nothing." Now what does that mean? First of all, many bloggers and even wikipedia refer to this quote as something that Edmund Burke said, a political theorist and philosopher that lived in the 18th century. To be honest, I don't care if Burke was as a political person that sided with conservatism to his time and I want to get this clear. The line, at first sight, may seem straightforward. It clarifies that, the only thing that helps for evil to triumph is the good men that do nothing. Now, what does mean "evil"? Is it safe for someone to assume that it implies that the reader has to grab a sword or gun and run rampage to take action to anything that suffocates him? Of course not. And, does the word "evil" refers to something evil that everyone has in common? That would be ultimate, to say the least, because evil is something dependant on the point of view. So, does it talks about "evil" of common sense? And what is "common sense" after all, other than a majority of public opinion that agrees on specific matters : does this even have to say that is right? And just to simplify this, some people think it's common sense for metal lovers to have long hair. Why? Because the culture of the many prevails over the years, and this is both right and wrong. Everyone can enjoy some headbanging with the guitar because they feel the music in the soul and heart and no common sense will tell me that I need long hair to be a metal lover. Well, that went a little off-topic but you get my point. Let's get back to the rest of the phrase. "Is for good men to do nothing". What does that tells? Surely, if someone is capable of doing a lot of things in the life and do them better than the ones that are currently active, but he doesn't, he goes to waste. But that is not all. "To do nothing" means to do evil", because even by doing nothing, you actually do something . And that's what feeds the negative actions to grow. If someone has the solution to a problem and stays silent, eventually either someone else will take his place or the problem will be carried away by the sands of time (and of course with an improper manner). In the end, nothing gets solved by sitting around and hitting the bush waiting for a smurf to pop up. Take action for everything that bothers you, everything that haunts you, either be a everyday problem or a personal one. Because it's the individual that will save the situation, either by becoming an example for the others or just add his personal touch to life's painting. The modern world suffers from people that think that the problems that arise will be solved by silence or by the time. And that's what this world needs to face. So, stand up your chair and do the thing that you want to do. Who knows, maybe a blog post could help... Dear blog... Today I realised something important : smoking is for losers.
Quiting might be another obstacle in the way. Because when nicotine has rooted inside your bloodstream, making you feel comfortable
with every zip of cigarette you take, it's not just a habitual movement of hand , but an addiction. Especially when any form of cancer is
considered to be the second reason of premature death in the world , any smoker should just sit down and think about it carefully.
Think about the harm that they do to the people around them, think of how black can their lungs be with all that tar swimming around
with every deep breath, if they can take one without coughing that is.
But, as all the things in my way, it will eventually become invisible and vanish into thin air... Just like the smoke. |
