lost in a lost world
-
senjutsu albümünden harika bir iron maiden parçası.
all is not it seems to be on the outside
sometimes what appears to be is a show
what shows in the face is only a mirror
we all have some better places to go
we don't know just what we have ’til we've lost it
until that time comes and know that it's gone
so hard to say things that we should have uttered long ago
tear myself away from thoughts in my head
the people worshiping the sun
and all the children point up to the sky
they see the eagle as it floats on the wind
and they follow with their spirits high
buffalo roam on the plain
we walk into the flames but dance for rain
the hallowed dead in sacred ground and the elders
and we wash away their sins for them
feel the spirits of the old ones standing proud upon their race
and the testament to ancestors, that are never to retrace
burn the flame of innocence, as they ride into the sun
thinking now of our forefathers that are lying dead upon
holy ground and sacred earth now
revisit stolen youth
lost in a lost world
buried on sacred ground
lost in a lost world
lying on sacred ground
lost in a lost world
buried on sacred ground
lost in a lost world
lying on sacred ground
lost in a lost world
standing on sacred ground
lost in a lost world
lying on sacred ground
will we ever heal our old wounds
like forever darkness worn
fighting for their lives again
so come on now don’t be afraid
this is where destiny lies
just to let us breathe again
put upon this earth to wander
and to walk, forever lost
with the ashes of our enemies
to live among our ghosts
of our past fear nothing
life is but a better path to joy
nowhere to go nowhere to run
our whole nation overrun
ıtself existence under threat
and soon will be none of us left
remember names of all our dead now
ın enemies that fled
reaching for our sky forever free
a sadness that is proud
as the clouds all drift away now
until we meet again -
biraz degil, oldukca depresif bir sarkidir ve boyle olmasinin sebebi her bir sozunun tamamiyle gercek olmasidir (yazildiktan 42 yil sonra bile). ote yandan, gune bu sarkiyla baslanildiginda tuhaf bir bicimde guclu hisseder insan kendini, cunku farkindalik ayni zamanda guc demektir.

senjutsu'da icine girmesi belki de en zor parcalardan biri... ama o girisi yapabildikten sonra da insanin tekrar disari cikasi gelmiyor iste, oyle bir parca...
introsunu albumden bagimsiz bir sekilde baska bir zamanda dinletip "ne bu, bil bakalim?" diye sorsalardi "yes veya elp olabilir mi?" derdim herhalde... steve bu anlamda bir bakima yola ilk ciktigi esnada kendisine hayli ilham vermis bu gibi gruplara da bir nevi selam cakmis sayilir...
intro sonrasinda parcadaki gecisler biraz keskin, orasi dogru... ama guzel bir kontrast yakalandigini dusunuyorum ben... steve'in buradaki isi biraz suna benziyor... usta bir sefin onune somon, tahin, karanfil ve avokado gibi normalde hem kendi basina tatlari baskin, hem de birbirleriyle cok alakasiz dort malzeme koyup "hadi bunlardan bir yemek yap" demisler... o da ugrasip harika bir is cikarmis... ama alisik olmayan kisi yediginde en basta o tatlar bir arada damaga carpinca bir tuhaf geliyor... birkac kez yedikten sonraysa "ulan ne guzel olmus" demeye basliyorsun... lost in a lost world de oyle iste...
outroya da ayri bir paragraf acalim... maiden'in iyice progresif bir karaktere burundugu 1995 ve sonrasi donemde cogu parcada intro ve outrolarda zaten bir paralellik vardir ama bu parcanin outrosu, introya gore daha bir buyulu olmus sanki... giriste insani yakaladigi halden cok daha buyuk bir etki yaratiyor kapanis... tum maiden kulliyati icerisinde en guzel parca kapanislarindan biri olabilir lost in a lost world'un son kismi... insana kafasi ayikken bile muthis bir cakirkeyiflik hissi veriyor...
sarkinin sozleriyse harris'in kendini bilmemkacinci kez astigi apayri bir mevzu olmus... harikulade bir siir... edebiyat derslerinde okut, uzerine sinavda da 10 sayfa essay yazdir... oylesine dokturmus... -
sonundaki balladımsı kısmıyla beni kalbimden vurmuş iron maiden şarkısı. özlemişiz...

cok guzelsin, dinlemeyi bırakamıyorum
will we ever heal our old wounds, like forever darkness worn
fighting for their lives again so come on now, don't be afraid
this is where destiny lies, just to let us breathe again
put upon this earth to wander and to walk forever lost
with the ashes of our enemies to live among our ghosts
of our past fear nothing, life is but a better path to joy
nowhere to go, nowhere to run, our whole nation overrun
itself existence under threat and soon will be none of us left
remember names of all our dead now in enemies that fled
reaching for our sky forever, free a sadness that is proud
as the clouds all drift away now

senjutsu albümünde harris imzalı maiden şarkısı. şimdiden klasikler arasına gireceklere kesin gözüyle bakıyorum.
(bkz: stranger in a strange land) -
the moody blues'un seventh sojourn adlı albümünün ilk parçası, bir mike pinder bestesi. biraz depressif bir parça.
i woke up today
i was crying
lost in a lost world
so many people are dying
lost in a lost world
some of them are living an illusion
bounded by the darkness of their minds
in their eyes it's nation against nation against nation
with racial pride
sad hearts they hide
thinking only of themselves
they shun the light
they think they're right
living in their empty shells
oh, can you see their world is crashing?
crashing down around their feet
angry people in the street
telling them they've had their fill
of politics that wound and kill
grow, the seeds of evolution
revolution never won
it's just another form of gun
to do again what they have done
with all our brothers' youngest sons
everywhere you go you see them searching
everywhere you turn you feel the pain
everyone is looking for the answer
well look again, come on my friend
love will find them in the end
come on my friend
we've got to bend
on our knees and say a prayer
oh, can you see the world is pining
pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love
with all of us, so we can be
an ever loving family
have we forgotten we're all children?
children from a family tree
that's longer than a centipede
started long ago when you and i
were only love
i woke today, i was crying
lost in a lost world
so many people are dying
lost in a lost world
so many people, so many people, people
lost in a lost world
so many people, so many people, people
lost in a lost world -
