I haven't understood this song before, it was just a nice tune with sad lyrics for my like any other song. 14 days ago my father passed away in hospital way to early in the age of 60. His brain was damaged to much after a heavy heart attack, so we let the doc turn down the machines and let him go in dignity and peace. The first time I listened to this song again it touched me deep in my heart and made my cry. It's crazy how music transports feelings. This song lets me connect to Andy and feel his grief, but also gives me hope to free myself from the deep sorrow (portayed by the man in the Video) and feel happy again sometimes with all the beautiful memories of my dad. Just wanted to share these thoughts and feelings with you. peace
Stay strong to watch and be apart of the passing of a father is a mind altering experience. Remember they don't want you lost in life or in their death.
This song is so good and has so much meaning. It helped me get through the passing of my grandfather. He was such a great man would give the shirt off his back to help someone. I still cry sometimes when I hear this song. Long live Caliban 🤘🤘🤘 REST IN PEACE GRANDPA!🤘
I always liked this song. I recently went out west to see my Grandma before she passed. I came back to NYC and was standing on the subway platform on my way to work early in the a.m and this came over my earbuds. I couldnt hold back the tears- they just pushed through and i was trying to choke them back. I didnt realise how much this song hits the mark. Very powerful. To everyone who has lost someone, you arent alone and youll get through this. Im moved by how many people on this thread has a similar experience.
I love how everyone is claiming they are trying to be black metal because of the make up. If you had done a little research before those claims you would have realized the make up is their album artwork.
Exactly one year ago, this music was my only buddy while I was when when my gramps died. I was hundreds of miles away when he went and there was nothing I could do until then.
This is a memorial, to honor the long gone This is a burial, my heaven has gone wrong Those times we had, so long ago. Like yesterday I miss 'em so much I can't let go! My heart is full of hate, It's bleeding love Father I have to say goodbye, to keep myself alive I can still see you, you're fading away. But I can still feel you though you're drifting away from me. This is a memorial, to honor the long gone This is a burial, my heaven has gone wrong Are you still here? Still in this place? What's left behind, where is God's grace? You broke my faith My heart is full of hate. It's bleeding love. Father I have to say goodbye to keep my self alive I can still see you, you're fading away ? but I can still feel you, though you're drifting away from me. My heart is aching, that's all I know Hope is fading I'll let you go This is a memorial, this is a burial
Lost my dad nearly 2 years ago, finally paid attention this song today when I was working out and it hit me in the guts. Someone once said to me you should grieve for 2 years but anything longer is a waste. I was afraid to let go before because I didn’t want to forget him, but now maybe it’s finally the right time. Thank you for this song ♥️
God, everyday I look on Wikipedia expecting a new album to release......not because I dont like their last album, but all the albums they have don't fill up my whole day without repeats yet :)
Calliban have saved me from suicide, thier songs have given me strength. If you come to York please let me know. You don't even know how you have saved my life,without you I would be no more.
The song is about jewish ritual sex abuse the global 'elitists' practice - this abuse as a young child makes the formerly innocent child into an evil adult who hates humanity... that's why its a memorial for their former selves and for God... God and their former self is 'fading away/drifting away'.
This song makes me think so much about my grandpa. While he’s still alive, he has dementia that is getting progressively worse and worse. He’s 84 and it’s inevitable one day he won’t remember who anyone in my family is. Chorus really hits hard
this is not satanic i thought that at first but it's not he is talking about someone he loves leaving it is a heart reaching song for me the most bc i lost my dad on march 2012 his birth day and i feel depressed when i think about how he is gone and im stuck here but i have hope i will see him again that's why this song speaks to me bc i have to let go knowing that i will see him again and i won't be upset when i know he is there waiting for me on the other side
well.. not satanic necessarily but lose faith in god which he loved..but highly apply to our lives... after all, God is love they say and if your love gets betrayed.. you started to feel drifting away from god or away from love.. im not even christian lol... I apply this song to my own life experiences of love and despair rather than to religion.. since im not christian.. hard for me to feel that way altho i know the context...
Aung Chozan I think this song is about losing beloved ones, and not religious in any way. He isn't losing faith in god but in his father. I don't think it is satanic at all.
Conheço Caliban desde antes do lançamento de Say Hello To Tragedy, e as músicas, principalmente desse desse álbum e do IAN smp me traz lembranças da época que eu estudava a tarde. Esse clipe já vai fazer, agora 21/12, 8 anos... 😨
+Avriell самый тру металкор у Caliban был в 2001, офигенные рифы в "love taken away" и "erase the enemy", которые в 2007 "позаимствовали" группы типа оматоре и т.д.
Dalibor Ilic we saw Caliban Any Given Day Dream On, Dreamer Bury Tomorrow at their show in Kofmehl, Solothurn. It was amazing show! I started loving them there.
Shit... havent heard this song for years. Its creepy, but last night I dreamed about this one and I still know the lyrics and sang along in my dream :O ...This will be (again) my catchy tune for the next days! Almost 8 years later, but still fucking good! \m/
