Die Dark Metal Größe LACUNA COIL meldet sich zurück mit der neuen Single `In The Mean Time` bei der sie sich mit New Years Day Vokalistin Ash Costello verstärkt haben. Hören könnt ihr den Song über das Leben in „unglücklichen“ Zeiten bereits. Das dazugehötige Video geht um 18:00 CET online.
Über den Sinn des Wortspiel-Titels verrät die Band:
“In The Mean Time is a reflection on how much our society has generally ‘lost the plot’. We are living in really mean times filled with unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive. The pressure that crushes from the outside doesn’t allow to see things with the right clarity. This song is like group therapy: not a lamentation but acceptance that once broken, it’s hard to put oneself back together again. We need to take our mind off all the inescapable toxicity and find that there’s so much more to this life… and know that in the meantime, everything cannot be aligned. We invited Ash Costello to feature on the track and we’re thrilled she came on board adding exactly what we needed for this song with her warm voice and charisma.”
Ash Costello ergänzt:
“I am deeply honored to join LACUNA COIL on tour for the first time, to have the incredible opportunity to lend my guest vocals to a new track and appear in the music video. Working alongside the powerhouse vocalist Cristina has been a privilege, and I may be biased in saying that ‘In The Mean Time’ has quickly become my favorite by LACUNA COIL. Its message about embracing individuality and not conforming deeply resonates with me.”

Lyrics:
THE SCAR AND THE HURT
THE DREAM AND THE BLOOD
WE ARE LOCKED UP INSIDE
IN THE SICKNESS OF OUR TIME
WE ARE LOSING CONTROL
NOW IT’S HARD TO LET IT GO
IT FEELS LIKE DYING ON THE FLOOR
WAKING UP IN PAIN
WE ARE ALONE TOGETHER
NO ONE BELONGS
IN THE MEAN TIME
I’M FALLING DOWN
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO RESET MYSELF
I’M STILL STUCK
INSIDE MY MIND
I CANNOT BREATHE ANYMORE
WE LIVED THROUGH THINGS I CANNOT SAY
I FEEL THE COLD
WHEN YOU TWIST THE BLADE
SO DEEP IN THE CUTS
WE ARE BLOOD
WE ARE HURT
WE ARE THE FORSAKEN
WE’RE LIVING IN VAIN
AS WE DIE INSIDE
IN THE MEAN TIME
I’M FALLING DOWN
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO RESET MYSELF
I’M STILL STUCK
INSIDE MY MIND
I CAN’T COMPETE ANYMORE
DID THEY EVER TELL YOU TO BE STRONGER?
DID THEY EVER FORCE YOU TO BE FINE?
THERE IS SOMETHING THAT THEY’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING CANNOT BE ALIGNED
WHEN YOU LOST THE WAY
AND YOU FEAR YOURSELF
WHEN THE PAIN NEVER LETS YOU GO
IT’S HARD TO PUSH YOURSELF
THROUGH ANOTHER DAY
NOTHING KILLS YOU LIKE YOUR OWN TWISTED MIND
I CAN’T COMPETE ANYMORE
IN THE MEAN TIME
I’M FALLING DOWN
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO RESET MYSELF
CANNOT BE LIKE YOU WANT ME TO
DON’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU ALL
I JUST WANT TO LURK IN THE DARK
START OVER AGAIN
BLOOD
