Lyrics for Epicentre as interpreted by liquidmercurial

Epicentre Lyrics
I asked myself was I content
With the world that I once cherished
Did it bring me to this darkened place
To contemplate my perfect future
I will not stand nor utter words against
This tide of hate
Losing sight of what and who I was again
I'm so sorry if these seething words I say
Impress on you
That I've become the anathema of my soul

Chorus:
I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
Though I know where this is leading
(Please) no tears no sympathy
I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears no sympathy


Gracefully
Respectfully
Facing conflict deep inside myself
But here confined
Losing control of what I could not change

Gracefully
Respectfully
I ask you please don't worry
Not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away

Chorus:
I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
Though I know where this is leading
(Please) no tears no sympathy
I can't say that you're losing me
But I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears no sympathy


No tears for me
No sympathy

This was the most perfect song for me in the past couple of days.
It was the perfect way to say something to someone. I have been listening to it nonstop.
If there are any lyrics here you think are wrong, let me know because I just tried to decipher what I could after listening to it MILLIONS of times.

I feel more or less the same. Epicentre was and is my favourite song
during the last months. Ever on since I have listened to it on a sampler in
November. I helped me to express what I feel to the world and how I feel
after tragically losing my fiance in an accident. This song doesn't exactly mean
to me, what it is meant to mean. But I definetly feel like this world is
loosing me and that I will go to my own world. Living a live without any
doubts or with a new old selfdefined way. Great song. Combined with Freude it
is running up and down my stereo for months.....

I finally (after many emails sent to me with revisions) have stumbled across the exact lyrics, and it has now been updated and will no longer be changed.

Now...on to find NeuroticFish lyrics..

I've also listened to this track many many times. It just brings out my pity to this world as well. I do believe that I dont belong in this side of the world atleast... and yes I can say that I the world is loosing me. Knowing that there is no stop to the cryptic commercial propaganda MTV is brainwashing today's youth. God Help Us All! I am 23 by the way.

Wow...I don't think I've ever found a song so randomly in my entire life that fits me perfectly. Yes, I am an avid VNV Nation fan, but it's a challenge to find any of their CDs where I am... Now to see where I can find this one...

A lot of the time this song really fits into my life. Lately I have found myself depressed and I think I want people's sympathy but deep down maybe I just want to be sad. Ronan's lyrics are so powerful, reminds me of Ian Curtis, does he really mean it all.....

asked myself "was I content"
with the world that I once cherished
Did it bring me to this darkened place
to contemplate my perfect future
I will not stand nor utter words against
this tide of hate
Losing sight of what and who I was again

I'm so sorry if these seething words I say
impress on you that I've become
the anathema of my soul

I can say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
(please)
No tears
No sympathy

I can say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
Though I know where this could take me
No tears
No sympathy

Gracefully
Respectfully
Facing conflict deep inside myself
But here confined
Losing control of what I could not change

Gracefully
Respectfully
I ask you "please don't worry"
not for me
Don't turn your back
Don't turn away

Here are the lyrics as according to the official VNV Nation website -

Epicentre

[September 2001]

I asked myself was I content
with the world that I once cherished
did it bring me to this darkened place
to contemplate my perfect future?
I will not stand nor utter words against this tide of hate
losing sight of what and who I was again

I'm so sorry if these seething words I say
impress on you that I've become anathema of my soul

I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
please
no tears
no sympathy

I can't say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
though I know where this could take me
no tears
no sympathy

gracefully, respectfully
facing conflict deep inside myself
but here confined losing control
of what I could not change

gracefully, respectfully
I ask you please don't worry, not for me
don't turn your back
don't turn away

I can't say that you're losing me
I always tried to keep myself tied to this world
but I know where this is leading
please
no tears
no sympathy

I can't say that you're losing me
but I must be that which I am
though I know where this could take me
no tears
no sympathy

no tears for me, no sympathy
no tears for me, no sympathy

This is the most powerful song I've encountered since God knows when. I never expected to be blown away by VNV Nation so much, but this song just did that. I can listen to this song many times in a row.

I think the song is about the fact that the narrator is starting to doubt his purpose in life. The fact that he's sorry for saying things like this means that the people around him don't feel the same. He knows he's becoming lost. But he has no one to blame but himself. Plus, it may all just be in head. That's why he deosn't wany "tears," nor "sympathy.

This is just the way I feel right now. There are some things that have happened to me in the past few months. I will forever cherish this song.
