Current mood:  cold


CLOSER announces with regrets Etienne's departure. He's still a very dear friend of us but decided to take his own path, leaving to England for his studies. The band continues its activities with four members.

Etienne joined the band in autumn 2004 on guitar. He wrote or co-wrote several of CLOSER's texts and recently composed the 8-minute song Epitome of Decay.

You are my oldest friend, we grew up together and you're just like a brother to me. When I first asked you to make a band with me, I remember you refused... It was already eight years ago!! Time runs so fast...
Finally you joined us and, against all odds, we managed to create something we were proud of. I'm glad we had the opportunity to lead this band side by side, from our very naive debut to these cold days, always putting the best efforts in it.
Mais c'est la vie~

In French, we speak sometimes of years as "printemps" (springs) but you prefered to stay six autumns. That's because you're a poetic person, right?

As your singer, I'll miss your beautiful words as much as your intelligence and your chaotic style on stage.

Even for best friends, I think that what we shared remains unique.
I only wish you the best, old bro.
Merci pour tout et à la prochaine...

Epitome of Decay


(music : Etienne / text : Low)

Qui suis-je ? D'où viens-je ? Comment est-on arrivé là ?
Mes yeux me blessent mais rien ne semble avoir changé
Je divague, délire, j'erre dans ces lieux à l'apparence pourtant si habituelle

Ah serait-ce là la pluie qui jamais ne cesse même dans les rêves ?
Indicible rêve

Des jours qu'une horreur difforme a pris la place sur mon lit inerte
Contre cette chose profondément détestable l'impuissance me gagne
Je veux fuire mais le miroir me crache à la gueule la vérité

Ah serait-ce là la larve qui jamais ne voit le jour même dans ses rêves ?
Un si fragile rêve

Desolation

Perdu au milieu d'abjectes silhouettes -asphyxie-
Je lâche prise, j'agonise mais personne ne peut me dire
"Quel crime mérite tel châtiment ?"
Je m'enfonce je m'enfonce sans réponse

Ah serait-ce là la horde qui jamais non jamais ne prend conscience ?
Perte de conscience

Et toi, toi qui ne reviendras jamais, toi qui aurais pu me sauver
Tu ressurgis des abîmes de mes souvenirs,
Mon cœur de verre est aujourd'hui un débris de frustration et de douleur

Ah serais-tu là toi qui jamais n'as mérité ma confiance ?
Transparente confiance

Desolation

I am staring at the blurry landscape around me
Suffocating I remember the time
So tomorrow morning I'll get out of this
Please tell me this is a real nightmare
Now I got to escape
Darkness surrounding I've lost any hope
Suffocating I remember the time - I sigh
So tomorrow morning I'll get out of this
Please tell me this is a real nightmare
Now I got to escape

Ah est-ce qu'un jour cette pluie cessera ? Est-ce que la larve s'envolera ?
Mon âme sortira-t-elle de l'emprise de ce cauchemar ?
Sous la lueur de la lune les visages disparaissent un à un
Laissant place au seul bruit des battements de mon cœur froid

Am I chained forever
Is this all real
Am I stuck forever
Is this the end



Requiem


(music : Guillaume, Low / text : Low)

Jour après jour je deviens terne
Comme un roi sans rêve
Toujours le même malaise
Ces mots qui perdent leur valeur
Et ces images leurs couleurs
Ces sentiments leur profondeur
This stain will never fade

Jusqu'à la mort, jusqu'à la mort
Devrai-je attendre jusqu'alors
J'espère encore, j'espère encore
Mais déjà le temps me file entre les mains
Déjà le jour s'obscurcit
Requiem


Nuit après nuit je me résigne
Comme un spectre immobile
Toujours le même vertige
La lune aux teintes de désir est devenue ma seule amie
Mais déjà même cette envie...
This stain will never fade

J'ai besoin de m'enfuire, besoin de sentir que je vis
Sur les limbes de cette ville s'est échouée la moindre envie
Mon âme meurt, mon âme pleure mais je ne ressens rien
Car ce monde n'est pas fait pour moi, n'est pas fait pour toi
Non ne regarde pas ou tu disparaitras
L'être~ange

Sans avenir, sans voir venir
Je suis parti à la dérive
A quoi bon vivre, à quoi bon vivre ?
J'aurais voulu comme toi sourire à la vie
Sourire avec toi
Requiem



Crystal+Nihil 


(music : Low, Cisco / text : Low)

Life

Ah j’ai cherché derrière la mascarade

De cette terre tournant sans relâche
Une raison d’être, un idéal
Rien

Haïssable destinée
Au moins j’existe
Seul à seul
Je ne suis pas aveugle

Tant pis si le monde s’effondre autour de moi
Je me relève et crie encore
Sur un si fragile piédestal
j’ai grandi sans remord
Me suivras-tu dans cette course vers nulle part ?
La vraie lumière est en nos coeurs
Même si je ne crois plus en rien
Ni hier ni lendemain


Chacun dans la cage de son destin
Devant ce vide, apparaissent des liens
La souffrance, la peur de la fin

(Annihile tout ce qui te bloque)

Si jamais je renaissais ici-bas
M’apparaitrais-tu cette fois ?


The Fierce Parade


(music : Cisco / text : Low)


This land has died so fast and through this fierce revenge is seen our rise

You and I under another cure
Like all the tainted brainless under cellophane
You and I under another cure
Burst it to realize
You and I under another cure
Let's bring the tears within destruction
You and I under another cure
No moral empire, wiseman

You and I under another cure
The grand virus of resistance
You and I under another cure
Is spreading to the rude mute
Calling to heroins, calling to ride
Calling to the insane out of your mind
This is our revenge

No vanity equals our insanity

Ah under our parade, under our decay
Forsaken dolls remember how not to fake smiling
Release your true self, now isn't the end
Take off the mask you hide pain with and
Let me hear your voice


Fake trust and dirt disgust
Angst filled with sorrow
What your heart is beating for
Rape my deadly soul
Deadly sign - look out



THE EVIL GENTLEMEN


(music : CLOSER / text : Low)

Hey here you are my cutie darling

You are welcome to the prettiest place
That you’ll get in during your life
I’ll make you taste some of the thousands
Flavours of the so marvellous one-night dance
So take the best of this moment

Hey you’ve felt down here as it was a dream
Maybe somebody already warned you
The wind isn’t easy to own
If you’re to follow me, believe the sweet lies
Don’t think you will ever get too much from me
And leave without a backward glance

With my words I’m able to take you to heaven
Just a blow and the breeze changes into storm
You can’t imagine while you’re listening to me
What it is when I use my tongue otherwise

Feeling me close to you, it’s gonna be so high
Let your desires become a delight
Showing trust after all when I look through your eyes
And we are both getting more satisfied
Whispering into your mind all you that you wanna hear
Maybe we’ll touch lightly upon your heart
But we’re the evil gentlemen, all we do isn’t innocent


ALRIGHT
It’s our time.. You won’t deny
Struck by the sight.. Of your deadly sin
Holding so tight.. All the way round
I wear the hat.. Of your deadly sin

Don’t become too attached cause
We only wish for pleasure
Finally when the screen says -END-
We have left as we had come


æbnormal delu:ge of lust


(music : CLOSER / text : Etienne, Low)

Come on
 Come see the gift
 The flesh in torment
Come on
 Inside I slip
 And swirling deeply all yours

Taste on
  I’ll high your mind
  Cause the apple’s mine now
Taste on
 Your dirty insides
 Your thievery style cause I’m law

Puffing you out
  The stolen luxury
Due punishment
  It’s all coming for thee
Craving to see
  What’s fallin’ down on me
Craving to feel

NOW I WONDER
Where’s your fist, are you losing your grip ?
And where’s the worm eating your guts ? (SLUT)
The wrath of gods will come out beastly
Scatter the scars you bore (WHORE)
The stolen pleasure just about to wake up
The perfect body, dirty butt (SLUT)
The deadly sins and Adam’s apple
You’re his daughter however


Give up
  My clammy skin
  My filthy grin
Give up
  I spill the seed
  Of your tomb I’ll dig off

Night.. this is my time
Let’s be vicious, so scandalous..
Now follow me..
Take the pill, take the syringe my boy
Let gush on me this abnormal deluge of lust
Till it becomes hurt
