Shallow Live!

I'm a MASSIVE Lacuna Coil fan (if you don't know them, go check them out now!) and a limited vinyl of an acoustic set they performed a couple of years ago, arrived in the post today - courtesy of Amazon.com.

I don't have a record player any more, but don't care - having a copy makes me feel special, and it certainly cheered up what was otherwise a long and stressful day...

In their words...
I never thought I'd be the soldier
I take my place inside the battle
I've come to realize the journey is over
realize that life is sober

everyday I'm like a soldier
waking up within the battle
and through the haze I live a dream that's better
than what I feel inside
diggin' in me
suffering darkness in my eyes
against the light of Rome
I see the reflection of the ghost that I've become
waiting behind the windows
I resign to be alone
I want to feel alone
and lost in this solitude

shallow life
I'll stay close to the ground
shallow life
the walls keep falling down
I close my eyes
I'll find my way around
in the shallow life
welcome to the bottom line

suffering darkness in my eyes
against the night of Rome
I get confused and all I hear is just myself
I will resign and search for peace of mind
I'm on my own
I need to be alone
and lost in this solitude
