Isolation

So just recently CARPATHIAN released their newest record ISOLATION. The record is so good, unlike Nothing To Lose their previous album, Isolation has a far more defined and mature sound to it. One of my favourite parts about the new release despite the great sounding songs are the lyrics, below are two of my favourite songs lyric's wise. Read them and find out why.

CURSED
The realisation that I still don't know what I'm doing here,
Put in perspective I am nothing, we are nothing
It feels like something has been wasted, and I am fading
Time is growing against me as I grow tired of being
Just another soul spent searching for something inside,
I hate my fucking guts, I hate desire, I hate lust,
I hate humanity, I hate instinctively, I hate this fucking world for fucking hating me

The chasm in my chest
Screams of resounding emptiness
I've never tasted this bitterness
I never felt this solitude, worthlessness

So what great vision is this to sail amongst the vast indifference?
Accept a trail to hollow senses, where only tragedy breaks the numbness
So what great epiphany, will spell out beneath my feet?
Chain my wrists, and admit defeat, imprisoned by 'the clarity'
So is this destiny, a doubtful life, feeling empty?
Worst of all to make me guilty, blindest of the blind, telling me to see
I might hate this world, I might hate myself
But I wont be a wasted soul, another ghost like everyone else


ISOLATION
Overflowing with hatred, I cannot contain me, I erupt
I feel violent, volatile, on the verge of destruction
So lost inside myself, it resonates this beating against my head and heart
So lost inside myself, it isolates as routine bites hard

This downward spiral, this endless circle, this solitude
I am nothing, I am permanence.

STRAIGHT EDGE XXX

No this is not a post declaring my edgness against drugs, drinking and smoking, its a post set out to inform anyone who reads this about the straight edge lifestyle. The purpose of me writing this is that im sick of people at school talking about straight edge, or going around and calling people edge when they dont even know or understand what they are talking about. I do NOT live a straight edge lifestyle, however i have nothing against anyone who does.

Straight edge summed up is a lifestyle chosen by some which includes no drinking of alcohol, no illicit drugs and no smoking. However there is far more to it than that...below is a short documentary on the XXX lifestyle explaining what it is about and where it is going, if you have the time i suggest you watch it, it is quite an eye opener.
