Weekly music challenge
Cocteau twins were a trio from Scotland with Liz Fraser on vocals, Robin Guthrie on Guitars and Simon Raymonde on different instruments. They disbanded in 1997. Fraser is a gifted singer and her voice is so dreamy and uniquely heavenly. Once your hear her singing, she can stay inside of you.
Their lyrics are so poetic and perfectly crafted that you can portray every word wonderfully in your mind and form a well-knitted picture of a story indented to be sent across by each song.
Rikean heart is a late song before the trio went apart. The song may sadden you, gives you a heavy heart or may get you into a very depressed state if you are constantly hearing the song. I do listen to the song, or I should say, I have been listening to this song for almost 20 years, whenever I’m in a helpless situation, I put on my earphones, crank the volume up to the maximum, loop it, and isolate myself from the outside world.
Rilkean heart I looked for you
To give me transcendent experiences
To transport me out of self and aloneness
And alienation into a sense of
One-ness and connection ecstatic and magical
I became a junkie for it
I came looking for the next high
And I'm sorry I've been
Putting the search on the wrong place
I understand that you're confused
Feeling overwhelmed
Well that's a feeling state from then
The reality
With cleaning up my emotion of life
And I'm getting in touch with myself
I'm beginning to ground myself
In my own sense of being as an entity
One entity on the planet
Becoming truly self-reliant and become connected
With something beyond me
That is where I have to go
I'm so sorry I've been
Putting the search on the wrong place
You're lost and don't know what to do
But that's not all of you
That's your reality today
And that is all okay
I understand that you're confused
Feeling overwhelmed
Well that's a feeling state from then
The reality
You're lost and don't know what to do
But it's not all of you
That's the reality today
And now it's all okay
I understand that you're confused
Feeling overwhelmed
Well that's a feeling state from then
The reality
