Canciones para una vida - Children Of Bodom - Soon Departed

 

SOON  DEPARTED

Décima y a la postre último LP de estudio de la fenomenal banda finlandesa Children Of Bodom, antes de que decidiesen en 2019 separar sus caminos y disolver la banda para disgusto de sus muchos seguidores. Propietarios de un death melódico, técnico, espejo para muchas bandas posteriores y por méritos propios considerados como uno de los mejores en lo suyo, su último LP, "Hexed", del propio 2019, no desmerece en absoluto al resto de su discografía, dandonos esa sensación de que les quedaba cuerda para rato y de frustración ante lo que podría haber seguido estando por venir. Muchos ejemplos de canciones ilustran lo que digo respecto a su última obra, otra de ellas es el tema que hoy dejo en el blog, "Soon Departed" con una vocación casi de medio tiempo, un tema de esos que a medida que lo escuchas veces se va metiendo en la cabeza para anidar allí, canción de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

When your hands have been tied
From front, back and from side to side
It's hard to see the shape of things to come
And the past becomes undone
No stars aligned to lead the blind
When your future is already declined

Lying, discarded
Dying, soon departed

Another morning it's hard to breathe
Waking up so damn confined
By these walls. Cut, bruised and left behind
Another day and it hurts to burn
Your candles at all ends
No more looking and waiting for the godsends…
You keep throwing away

If that is the life you choose
No circumstance can excuse
Why you run when you've passed
A dead end sign at long last
The days are numbered you swear
So you can start the countdown for all I care
Keep on telling yourself there's nothing left to do
Your story's weak and so are you

Lying, discarded
Dying, soon departed

Another morning it's hard to breathe
Waking up so damn confined
By these walls. Cut, bruised and left behind
Another day and it hurts to burn
Your candles at all ends
No more looking and waiting for the godsends…
You keep throwing away

Another morning it's hard to breathe
Waking up so damn confined
By these walls. Cut, bruised and left behind
Another day and it hurts to burn
Your candles at all ends
No more looking and waiting for the godsends…
You keep throwing away
