MELANCHOLIA
Blood moon rising, strange dust falling from the sky
I saw that weird star shining bright the other night
It didn’t look like the ones wistful people wish upon
It looked more like the tip of a lethal iceberg
The kind that sends hundreds to a cold, watery bed
Warm summer nights still give me a light chill
My vision is blurry, my lips have been tight lately
Among friends I don’t have much to say and I pretend
To listen, but I am adrift offshore I’m afraid
There is a creeping tide that I can’t fight
it drags me into the middle of the ocean
Melancholia is closing in
Resistance is futile, I’ll have to give in
Will it be a fly-by or a full on collision
a dance of death, in all its precision
in any case I swear, I don’t care
My trips, my drinks, my pills and my cigarettes
And some endless row of one-night stands
Some powders, some muted laughs, watching tv with friends
I could quietly waste my life away on those
Clinging to a star that’s growing larger
Melancholia is closing in
Resistance is futile, I’ll have to give in
Will it be a fly-by or a full on collision
A dance of death, in all its precision
In any case I swear, I don’t care
Don’t wave goodbye to hopes and dreams
Underneath a star looming large
A star looming large
(Don’t give in)
A star looming large
(Don’t give in)
A star looming large
(Don’t give in)
A star looming large
(Don’t give in)
A star looming large
(Don’t give in)
A star looming large
(Don’t give in)
A star looming large
(Don’t give in)
a star looming large
Melancholia is closing in
(Don’t give in)
Melancholia is closing in
(Don’t give in)
Melancholia is closing in
(Don’t give in)
Melancholia is closing in
(Don’t give in)
A star looming large
A star looming large
A star looming large

Evripidis and his Tragedies Barcelona, Spain
Evripidis and His Tragedies is Evripidis Sabatis. The "Tragedies" are the devastating, confessional, self-sarcastic, darkly humorous songs that draw on his classical piano training, queer sensibility and storytelling skills to examine and own up to the vicissitudes of life. Evripidis' pop inclinations take us for a bumpy, dancey ride across the fine line between tragedy and joie de vivre. ... more
