A song for Cail (TOT, WGW spoiler)

Post by Durris »

I just acquired October Project's second album, Falling Farther In. The first track, "Deep As You Go," is so applicable to Cail's consummation it gives me goose bumps. (Mary Fahl's voice is worth jumping off ships to hear, too, imho...)


Deep As You Go (lyrics by Julie Flanders)

Deep as you go I'll follow
Deep as the water goes
All the world is hollow and dry
But you and I go down
You and I go down

Far as you want to take me
Far as your eyes can see
Leave the world alone in the sky
You and I go free
You and I go free

Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You let me
You release me
Let me drown
Take me down

Promise to take me with you
Promise to let me go
All the world is waiting to see
As you and I go down
You and I are free

Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You let me
You release me
Let me drown
Take me down

I want to be completed
I want to disappear
I want to be uncovered
Take me down
Take me down
Let me drown

Somehow I need to love you
More than I need to breathe
I can feel you leaving the ground
I will follow down
You and I will drown

Don't save me
Don't lose me
Don't wake me now
You let me
You release me
Let me drown
Take me down
Shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased.

Yikes! A fan of the Chrons or just coincidence?

danlo, catch your breath before you gulp seawater, or Galewrath and Linden will have to give you CPR :D

Cail, somehow I doubt that the band members are Chrons fans, though I'd be delighted to find myself proven wrong. A few other lyrics of theirs use similarly final metaphors for love, and generally from a female perspective.

I had to go check this out and it was great. So I had to go and check out some of their other stuff and it was great. Damn you, Durris! ;)
