quicksand

• ingilizce bataklik
• suda asılı kum parçacıklarıın oluşturduğu karışım. aslen insan vücudundan daha yoğundur ve kaldırıcı gücü bulunur, ancak içine düşenlerin panik yaparak debelenmeleri içine doğru kaymalarına neden olur
• finger eleven adlı grubun bir şarkısı..
• "slip", "quicksand", "manic compression" albümlerinin sahibi, kurulduğundan 2 sene sonra dağılmış ('93 - '95 olması lazım) new york hard core grubu. bazılarına göre alternatif metal grubu..
  
  (bkz: atmosferik yarrak metal)
• aslında the turning tide olan şarkı için kullanılan alternatif isim, daha akılda kalıcı...
  (bkz: super furry animals)
• travis-12 memories albumunun acilis parcasidir. bundan onceki albumun acilisini sing yaptigi icin bu ilginc parca sonuk kalmis epeyce. ama bu durum sozleri pastelemeye engel degil tabii:
  
  take me away, take me away
  you said that you were gonna stay
  but you're always lying anyway
  you're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing now
  now that i need you
  you're going away
  
  everyday sinking into quicksand
  follow me down the drain
  
  but it doesn't matter anyway
  you're gonna get yours any day
  and while you put the blame on me
  if you could only see yourself as others see
  now that i need you
  you're going insane
  
  everyday sinking into quicksand
  follow me down the drain
  everyday drinking in the same bar
  drowning my sorrows away
  
  take me away, take me today
  or i'm never gonna get away
  but it makes no difference to me
  it's just the sound of one more rock star bleeding out
  now that i need you
  you're out of the frame
  
  day by day, sinking into quicksand
  follow me down the drain
  everyday drinking in the same bar
  made mine the same again
• travis'in gelmiş geçmiş en iyi şarkılarından biridir..
• gayet melodik hos bir sarki olmus,oldukca rahat dinlenen(easy listening) bir album icin gayet dogru bir giris parcasi olmus... ama travis'i ne uzatiyor ne kisaltıyor orasi kesin...
• çellonun ayrı bir hoşluk kattığı harika bir parçadır. üst üste dinlenmesinde hiçbir sakınca yoktur.
• david bowie'nin hunky dory albümünde yer alan quciksand'in gönderme dolu sözlerinin tamamına da girelim tam olsun.
  
  i'm closer to the golden dawn
  immersed in crowley's uniform
  of imagery
  i'm living in a silent film
  portraying
  himmler's sacred realm
  of dream reality
  i'm frightened by the total goal
  drawing to the ragged hole
  and i ain't got the power anymore
  no i ain't got the power anymore
  
  i'm the twisted name
  on garbo's eyes
  living proof of
  churchill's lies
  i'm destiny
  i'm torn between the light and dark
  where others see their targets
  divine symmetry
  should i kiss the viper's fang
  or herald loud
  the death of man
  i'm sinking in the quicksand
  of my thought
  and i ain't got the power anymore
  
  don't believe in yourself
  don't deceive with belief
  knowledge comes
  with death's release
  
  i'm not a prophet
  or a stone age man
  just a mortal
  with the potential of a superman
  i'm living on
  i'm tethered to the logic
  of homo sapien
  can't take my eyes
  from the great salvation
  of bullshit faith
  if i don't explain what you ought to know
  you can tell me all about it
  on, the next bardo
  i'm sinking in the quicksand
  of my thought
  and i ain't got the power anymore
