Ofdrykkja - Höst (2012-2013 Unreleased track)

Previously unreleased track 2012-2013

Today we have something very special for all our early followers and fans of 'A life worth losing'. A few weeks ago Associate discovered two old tracks that he recorded sometime around 2012-2013 and completely forgotten about. These tracks were meant for A Life Worth Losing, but they were ultimately rejected.

We quickly decided to release both of these songs and for this one we chose to add vocals. We picked one of Drabbad's old lyrics that he wrote during his time in prison, that we felt was a perfect match for this song as it is written in the same style as the lyrics for ALWL.

Associate recorded clean vocals and Drabbad recorded screams, spoken words and some minimalistic electronics to add a little bit of atmosphere. However, make no mistake about it, this is an old original song. It was meant to be the song 'Befrielsen', but it was ultimately rewritten with other riffs.

To all the fans the first album, this song is for you! We hope you will enjoy it!

Lineup for this song:
Associate: All instruments & clean vocals, mixing and mastering
Drabbad: Lyrics, vocals, additional electronics, spoken words

Lyrics:

Höst

Augusti, sommaren lider mot sitt slut
Jag stinker spyor och sprit varenda minut
Knivarna vrids om, och själen min den kvider
Blodet torkar in, alltjämt som jag tröstlöst lider

Lyckan kommer, lyckan går
Blott sorgen för evigt består
Åren kommer, åren går
Blott hösten inom mig består

September; ingenting är svart eller vitt,
allting är bara så fruktansvärt grått

Insikten; en avgrundslik förbannelse
Vemodet; min ständige följeslagare
Intigheten; min livsledsagare
Ensamheten; du är mitt fördärv
Existensen; ett brinnande luftslott

Den enda glöd som brinner inom mig,
är den glöd som blir min undergång

English translation:

Autumn

August, summer is coming to an end
I reek of vomit and booze every single minute
The knives twist and my soul whimpers
The blood dries up, all while I hopelessly suffer

Happiness comes, happiness goes
Only grief forever remains
Years come, years go
But the autumn within me remains

September; nothing is black or white
Everything is just so terribly grey

Knowledge; an abysmal curse
Melancholy; my perpetual shadow
Nothingness; my companion
Loneliness; you are my ruin
Existence; a burning castle in the air

The only ember glowing within me,
is the glow that will be my demise
