Die litauische Extreme/Industrial Band BLACK SPIKES sorgt nicht nur mit ihrem modernen und extremen Soundmix mit Lyrics in ihrer Muttersprache für Aufsehen, sondern auch durch ihre zahlreichen aufwändigen, atmosphärischen Musikvideso. Mit ihrem neuesten Clip zu `Melas´ erinnert die Truppe erneut an ihren aktuellen Dreher „YDOS“.
Die Band über den Song:
„MELAS (eng. Lie) is about questioning what we have been taught to believe about life and death. It explores the fear of finding out that there may be nothing after death, and how such a truth could change the way life is seen. The song speaks about loneliness, uncertainty, and the difficult possibility that the truth may not bring comfort.“

Lyrics (Übersetzung):
Verse
Knock, knock, do you hear the sand as it’s pounding?
Do you hear how stubbornly it’s knocking on your door?
Do you hear the rivers pouring, waiting and expecting
For the doors to open?
Is it not too cold there, is it not too still?
Is it not too damp there, is it not too quiet?
You are used to the dark, the sun has set for you
Long before this moment
Pre-chorus
Do you see it, what I see now too?
When you see it, does it ease at all?
Do you see it, what I see now too?
When you see it, does it ease at all?
Do you see it, what I see now too?
When you see it, does it ease at all?
Do you see it, what I see now too?
When you see it, does it ease at all?
Chorus
In my eyes, the world has come to a stop
I realized how fragile it is beneath my feet
Cries echoing softly from afar
I breathe in, though there is no air
Verse
On the way to weigh your heart
And find out if you’re meant to keep living
Or maybe you’ve been fed lies all these years
When in truth there will be nothing at all
But maybe it’s easier this way, in the void now
Days don’t weigh you down anymore
But when will it be easier for me, and will we
Finally meet
Pre-chorus
Do you see it, what I see now too
Tell me, does it bring you peace?
Do you see it, what I see now too?
If you see it, what comes next?
Were you fed a lie? — there’s nothing after death?
Only emptiness ahead? — do you see it, does it ease at all?
Do you see it, does it ease at all?
Chorus
In my eyes, the world has come to a stop
I realized how fragile it is beneath my feet
Cries echoing softly from afar
I breathe in, though there is no air
In your eyes, the world has stopped, only distant voices echo
I’ve got nothing left inside, wretched loneliness lurks
But maybe it’s easier now that you know
No more rushing, no need to run anymore
And maybe it’s easier now that you see
Days don’t weigh you down anymore
There’s no air…
Does it ease you at all?
