Septic Flesh - Narcissism

I think the Greek band is haunted from the ancient theme of Narcissus.

They have this song named Narcissism from the album Esoptron (1995) and the song Narcissus from the album Communion(2008)based on the myth.

I especially like the last four stanzas.

The chalice is full of sea

fallen leaves upon her face

A map of green continents

Once part of the same tree

Away from where they belonged

Near sits a part of my twin moon

captured from the mirror waters

The sacred drink withdraws oblivion

This is the only way to meet

my full of craters sister

because her grim presence

stands always against

the golden rays of my sun.



How many friends I had,

how many enemies.

Now only absence

Love, its purest form is Narcissism

I remain and they remain through me

but only I exist.

Youth preserved, embalmed from history



In courts of exotic domains

sirens play with the strings of the rainbow

in a harmonious elegance

the story of a king.

Mylène Farmer - Beyond my control

The song was inspired by two characters in the 1782 French epistolary novel Les Liaisons dangereuses, written by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos: the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont. In the song, the voice heard on the chorus of the song which repeats "It's beyond my control" is in fact a sample of John Malkovich's voice from the film "Les Liaisons dangereuses" by Stephen Frears.



The song deals with self-control, love, death and the betrayal of the beloved man. Farmer tells her own story from the Valmont's sentence ("it's beyond my control"): that of a woman who kills her unfaithful lover after a night of love.



This Requiem Publishing and Heathcliff SA production features Farmer, Frédéric Lagache, who was the puppeteer in the video of "Sans contrefaçon" and who there plays her flighty lover, and Christophe Danchaud, a dancer of Farmer's tours, who replaces this one for the bare scenes.



About this video, Farmer explained that she liked the blood and nudity and that her relationships with men were at the time very difficult.



"Beyond My Control" was never performed on television.

Come morning, chalice of dawn

To crown the Sufferer in their glory

Come for we are failing

Come for we are waiting

For we are trying to breathe



First in the skies, apocalypse

Only your fury can set us free

Come for we are failing

Come for we are waiting

For we are trying to breed



Night eternal, our world is burning

Bride eternal, our world is dying



Come forth, for we are blood

And to blood we shall return



[...And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus...]



Night eternal, our world is burning

Bride eternal, our world is dying
