MyJukebox (lyrics): Massive Attack - Flat Of The Blade (do Heligoland - 2010)

Som no meu subconsciente...

Massive Attack
"Flat Of The Blade" (do "Heligoland" - 2010)




I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of

Things I've seen will chase me
To the grave

I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of
Over there

Things that I've seen
Will chase me to the grave

Led with your hands tied
Fetters and flies

You stumble the dunes
Complain to the moon

Backs to the wheel
There's granite to shove

Take it
They give it
So rivet for rivet
I will pilfer my family a bulletproof love

How does it feel
The weight of the steel?

The weight of the steel
The flat of the blade

How does it feel
To kneel at defeat?

To kneel at defeat
At the choices you make

I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of

Things I've seen will chase me
To the grave

Backs to the wheel
There's granite to shove

Take it
They give it
And rivet for rivet
I will build for my family a bulletproof love



Tenho somente a dizer (ou voltar a citar-me) que do álbum Heligoland, esta é a faixa que "mais me impressionou, a "Flat Of The Blade" cantada por Guy Garvey, naquele que é um magestoso exercício trip-hop do qual já não esperava.
Profunda, perturbadora, depressiva e mágica. O momento [alto] do disco e a faixa que não tem parado de ser repetida. Apartir do momento que Garvey solta linhas como "How does it feel  /  The weight of the steel?"... deixa marcas.
Quem ainda diz que o trip-hop acabou?"
Hã?
