    Lyrics:
    Let's go
    I know I can't define this life
    I know you can't see through these answers
    I'm seeking for are way too deep to be found
    My life's reflected through the wet film of my eyes (My eyes)
    I've been betraying the kid that I was
    Do you think this life really deserves an anthem?
    I've been changing
    It reminds me when I was younger and useless
    My heart beats, covered in bruises
    I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin
    As locked in, but I'm not dead yet
    I did my best to show you that I've been changing
    And what I've been through to see clearly through myself
    Through myself
    I was such a mess before this
    I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it
    My heart has braced itself, I'll set this world in check
    I finaly found myself
    I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head
    I don't wanna be the one who can live without this (Live without this)
    All that I can see is the distance since these days
    I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life
    I will never let you define my way of life
    I thought we've been watching the same sun but we're way too far to finally feel warmed
    This is my time to speak
    This is the time to forgive
    I've been betraying the kid that I was
    Do you think this life really deserves an anthem?
    I didn't think the show would last so long
    Though it should last forever now
    I was seeking for this
    Having a chance to speak to try to feel better
    I see your face when your eyes are staring back at me (Staring back at me)
    I can fake it, it's not as hard as it seems with the detachment the drug brings
    I've got these dreams to stand for
    Got my voice to speak
    Despite the lies around me now
    But this bitter taste that they're leaving won't let me feel anything
    It reminds me when I was younger and useless
    My heart beats, covered in bruises
    I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin
    As locked in, but I'm not dead yet
    I did my best to show you that I've been changing
    And what I've been through
    To see clearly through myself
    Through myself
    I was such a mess before this
    I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it
    My heart has braced itself, I'll set this world in check
    I finally found myself
    I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head
    I don't wanna be the one who can live without this
    All that I can see is the distance since these days
    I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life
    Directed by Pavel Trebukhin

    Souvenirs is one of the greatest albums of all time. It holds a firm top spot in my personal favorites. Unreal the level of depth the whole album has.

      "Immedicable" was first (and my fav) song I heard from these guys, about ten years ago. I listen to them since then, but album after album less (last one in my playlist is "C'est la vie"). Today I was thrilled when I saw Erra is coming to my town and Novelists are supporting. So I checked how are they doing. Glad I did. I would be disappointed to see what they became :-)

    Let's go.
    I know I can't define this life
    I know you can't see through these answers
    I’m seeking for a way too deep to be found
    My life's reflected through the wet film of my eyes (my eyes)
    I've been betraying the kid that I was.
    Do you think this life really deserves an anthem ?
    I’ve been changing
    It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
    My heart beats, covered in bruises.
    I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
    As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
    I did my best to show you that i've been changing,
    and what I've been through to see clearly through myself.
    through myself.
    I was such a mess before this
    I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
    My heart has braced itself.
    I'll set this world in check,
    I finaly found myself.
    I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
    I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
    All that I can see is the distance since these days.
    I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life
    I will never let you define my way of.life.
    I thought we've been watching the same sun but we're way too far to finally feel warmed.
    this is my time to speak
    this is the time to forgive.
    I've been betraying the kid that I was.
    Do you think this life really deserves an anthem ?
    I didn't think the show would last so long
    Though it should last forever now.
    I was seeking for this,
    having a chance to speak to try to feel better.
    I see your face when your eyes are staring back at me.
    I can fake it, it's not as hard as it seems with the detachment the drug brings
    I've got these dreams to stand for,
    got my voice to speak
    despite the lies around me now
    but this bitter taste that they're leaving won't let me feel anything.
    It reminds me when I was younger and useless.
    My heart beats, covered in bruises.
    I saw this room slowly turn to a coffin.
    As locked in, but I'm not dead yet.
    I did my best to show you that i've been changing.
    and what I've been through
    to see clearly through myself.
    through myself.
    I was such a mess before this
    I don't miss it, no, I don't miss it.
    My heart has braced itself.
    I'll set this world in check,
    I finally found myself.
    I've got my dreams and all my memories in my head.
    I don't wanna be the one who can live without this.
    All that I can see is the distance since these days.
    I wouldn't recognize myself without the mess of what I've done with my life

    Quel bonheur ! Ce clip est une vraie réussite.
    La réalisation du clip de The Voyager a été une expérience révélatrice je pense. Et on ne peut qu'approuver cette direction qui vous convient à merveille.
    Tout d'abord un parfait équilibre entre narration, contemplation et phase musicale. La narration d'ailleurs n'en dis pas trop, elle guide tout en nous laissant construire notre propre interprétation. Finalement, on dirait tableau.
    Le parti pris artistique est très intéressant, on a le réel sentiment que les plans sont travaillés, réfléchis, médités et c'est un vrai plaisir pour les yeux. Le cadre, les couleurs et l'atmosphère sont en parfaite harmonie avec l'essence du morceau.
    C'est élégant et professionnel à l'image de l'identité du groupe.
    Un grand bravo, je suis impatient de découvrir votre prochain clip qui j'espère continuera dans cette lancée.

    This band has great depth. Just about every song, has the perfect mixture, of clean, with GREAT SCREAM VOCAL RANGE!!!
    No offense, to the new vocalists.
    Both singers, can litterally reach, unbelievable vocal ranges. Both singers, are MAGNIFICENT TALENTS.
    To me, Vocalist Matteo Gelsomino, is an unbelievable singer.
    As well as, Tobias Rische.
    Please, Please....... If, its in the plans, for the band?
    I am begging the band.
    To at least, think about, and hopefully adding a tour performance STOP, in the AUSTIN, TEXAS AREA.
    Making a tour stop here.
    Would, be the last goal for my " BUCKET LIST ".
    But, I'm not near that old yet. I'm not afraid, to get back in the mosh pit.
    And show these Youngsters, how its done. Thank you Guys, and all the band. For staying True, to your fans

    This song inspired me to get a tattoo just to represent this musical masterpiece in a physical form.
    Everywhere i go, everyone i meet, and everything i will ever experience in life is in some form touched by this song, through the way it has shaped me as a person.
    As time moves along and we age, people and memories we once held dear seem to evaporate into obscurity. Souvenirs reminds me that even though this is true, we have them in our minds and hearts forever to hold dear as we progress through life.
    Thank you for the life lesson, Novelists. i truly adore what you have given to me each and everyday.
