Neonfly - "The Future, Tonight" (feat. Björn "Speed" Strid)
And the daylight seems to last forever
When all you need is a place to hide away
All these dark thoughts
And fractured scenes are a shadow play
That makes me restless
Time goes by as
I wait for judgement day
I can feel it coming!
Thunder, lights and wind and rain
Are all it takes to keep me burning
One more shot to keep me sane
Another red light burning in my brain
I’m in hell no
I won’t apologise
I’m in hell but
I still got heaven in my sights
I’m in hell no
I won’t apologise
I’m in hell but
I still believe in heaven
I can see the future fade away
And the world around me feels so empty
It’s all gone in a moment
Another spirit laid to rest
I don’t want to live another day
I’m a rocket burning up on entry
So alive, but so wasted
Please give me sanctuary
Breaking down,
All the screams and shouts
All the dreams of mercy,
Who’s pretending?
No one cares if
I crash without a sound...
And I never wake up!
Thunder lights and wind and rain
Are all it takes to keep me burning
One more shot to keep me sane
The dawn escapes, the roads keep turning
Silence in a crowded room
Took the hits without complaining
Rather me than all of you
Another red light burning in my brain
Silent screaming
I’ve come up for air
And as I stop to catch my breath
I see you standing there
Your light’s still shining
But the darkness steals the brightest stars
And the shadows on our souls
Conceal the darkest scars
It goes on and...
Looking back at the endless black and the times I tried to make things better
Some things pass but somethings are meant to last...
And they never let up!
I don’t want to live another day
I’m a rocket burning up and now
I can fly away
And stay this-way-forever...
Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από επτά χρόνια για τους Neonfly. Το νέο album και τρίτος συνολικά "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Βρετανών metallers τιτλοφορείται "The Future, Tonight" και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών...
Björn Strid: «I really enjoyed recording vocals for this song. Great players with tons of hooks and melancholic melodies. The song has some pretty unexpected turns as well and is just as epic as it rocks.»
Frederick Thunder: «In the video we wanted to show this metaphorically by having the 4 band members blindfolded and tied to chairs in front of an interrogator who is abusing them psychologically and threatening them with physical violence.
The interrogator represents mental health and depression issues, while the band members struggling and trying to stand up to him, represent the inner struggle that people have against those demons. In the video, we wanted to include this as part of a wider narrative, shot cinematically like a short movie.
Towards the end of the video, there is a plot twist, as we see the interrogator blindfolded sitting on a chair on his own, and replaying the previous sequence entirely on his own, implying that he’d been the one sitting alone all this time struggling with his inner demons.»
