016 . You Used to be like My Twin

It's funny how things go. I wanted to discuss about the new Katatonia album, The Great Cold Distance, and the new single, My Twin. Basically I wanted to say that they are both FUCKING great.

Then it turned out that my happy life crumbled on itself. I got stabbed in the heart and now I feel confused and weak. Don't know what to do, where to go, what to think. I've been throught this before, but this time it's worse cause I really tought she was the right one. She wasn't. Or maybe she was, but you cannot force someone to love you.

But I don't want to bother you with this. What I wanted to say is that, as it happened with the previous Viva Emptiness, Katatonia are with me in this moment of weakness. Songs like My Twin or July are written for me. For ME.

So, I can just suggest you to give it a chance. On the website there's a video too, from My Twin. Listen. Feel. Learn.

This is for A., that I still love, no matter what.

The neck and then the chain
The head is hung in shame
I thought that you had grown
That you would carry on
But now that I am gone
What else has been withdrawn

You used to be like my twin
And all that's been
Was it all for nothing
Are you strong you’re with him
The one that’s placed you above us all

I think of love
I let it pass
It feels like fire
But it won't last

What is it coming to
I am unwilling to go on
You have lost
No one has won
