Story behind the song
The Waste Land is a musical, visual and literary concept album, about the experience of annihilation and the end of the world. Through the story of a nameless, partially amnesic and un-heroic character, told by himself, The Waste Land shows the critical crossing of the tattered world after its catastrophic ending. Guided through the devastated lands by a fragmented, hollow and formless shape (the character), we are watching the unavoidable collapse of a fallen society and the hard rebuilding of a lost humanity on a heap of broken images. On the road leading the wandering character to his possible redemption—at least to the understanding of this inexpressible and unspeakable quest—ashen landscapes, snatches of subdued memories and sickly hallucinations intermingle and break the frontiers of space, time and reason up, until he expires. To give life to this post-modern story, in the post-apocalyptic tradition of literature, visual arts and cinema, we tried to create a special relation between music, mixing, images and words. We therefore collaborated with various artists who transposed Hord’s score and lyrics in their work: Jochem Jacobs (producer ; Textures guitarist) ; Jakob Arevarn (director, designer) ; David Lundmark (photographer) ; Paer Olofsson (graphic designer) ; David Sandberg (model) ; Colin Vauthier (logo, layout) ; The Waste Land is the hybrid result of this human and artistic experience. Welcome to The Waste Land. One last thing to say: enjoy your trip … your listening … your reading … and watching ...
Lyrics
Am I coming back to life or finally dying? Strange lights press upon my nerves Then darkness comes over me Am I just newly born, freshly dead or hallucinating? Is this reality so confused and indinstinct? Chaotic scenes just before my eyes The Gates of heaven and hell broken down Upside-down beds / Dead-studded halls Is this world in my visual field the one I really belong? By degrees as I crawl on the ground I rouse from a dormant state I pace up and down Total immersion through lights I take a look out there, outside … Lights of night suffocate me Unreal city’s attracting me I can’t tear my mind away from her and turn my back on her Benighted I’m out of my depth Waves of silence chill my blood and drag me in the waste land Unreal City I drop on my knees on a carpet of dust I raise my face to the pale ashen empty sky Why am I asking myself if there’s someone Or something elsewhere? What is that bitter taste in my f*** ing mouth? Chaotic skin just before my eyes Am I this man I don’t even recognize Deathly pale face Cold flesh and bones Is this body in my visual field the one I really belong? By degrees I rediscover myself As I’m staring at this ravaged landscape Distorting mirrors and fragmented windows Reflect the same degeneration Lights of night suffocate me Unreal city’s consuming me I can’t tear my mind away from her and turn my back on her Benighted I’m out of my depth Waves of silence chill my blood and drag me in the waste land Unreal City Silent City’s calling me I can hear his voices The Silent City’s calling me I can hear his voices I’m coming …
