A Sense Of Loss was Nosound’s follow up to 2008’s Lightdark and built on its predecessor’s approach by introducing a more alternative post-rock element to the band’s ever evolving sound.

Band leader Giancarlo Erra described the album as, “A move from the classic ‘rock’ approach used in Lightdark to a more unique sound, with influences from more contemporary alt and post rock.”

Nosound A Sense Of Loss was released originally on CD/DVD, then also on vinyl and reissue/remastered CD with extra tracks. Cover also changed from the original one above.

LYRICS

Some Warmth Into This Chill

A cold routine to lie in
a growing apathy killing me
misunderstanding all the way
as the darkness grew day by day
to dicover the fragility
unconscious, unconstant gravity
an unmoving, dirty rain
our quiet and sterile air

You’re slowly burning me
you’re slowly killing me
dropping bombs from your throat
each bomb falls into my heart
burning everything between
destroying everything within
but the explosion will arrive
..and I’ll kill you at last..
it’s the cost of your revenge
and I’ll pay again your bill
selling out my own solitude
for some warmth into this chill

Staring at the same sight
through these new different eyes
it makes lighter every step
it makes lighter every fight
Sun emerging through the trees
a glimpse of happiness growing free
all inside bringing life
I’m the antidote
to your invisible bane

You’re slowly burning me
you’re slowly killing me
dropping bombs from your throat
each bomb falls into my heart
burning everything between
destroying everything within
but the explosion will arrive
..and I’ll kill you at last..
it’s the cost of your revenge
but I’ll pay again my bill
selling out my own solitude
for some warmth into this chill

Fading Silently

We used to talk so long
about the things to come
nights flowed into the sea
smiling and feeling free
your eyes too deep to lie
to moments passing by
inviting me near you to see
you started silently

We were lying in the sand
you were holding my hand
you were playing in the sea
always smiling at me
then you fell into the dark
moving and waving your arms
I call your name into my sleep
I’m lying to me

We use to talk so long
about the moments gone
you always tried to melt my pain
love without restraint
your eyes too clear to lie
the friends surrounding smile
inviting me near you to see
we’re fading silently

We were lying in the sand
you were holding my hand
you were playing in the sea
always smiling at me
then you fell into the dark
moving and waving your arms
call my name into your sleep
I still hope you’ll be here

Tender Claim

Going up this stair
sounds come out of nowhere
it’s your voice speaking low
it’s my voice fading slow

I wish to wake up
and still speak your name
your sad, beautiful eyes
and their tender claim

All the meaningless words on the mobile phone
and the endless wait for a new dawn
I’ll wait and stare
wherever everyone else would never stare

I wish to be somewhere else
start again and forget
from above and below
what I learned and thought

You’ll never find me
twice in the same view
together with you
in all things we do

All the meaningless words on the mobile phone
and the endless wait for a new dawn
I’ll wait and stare
wherever everyone else would never stare

All the meaningless words on the mobile phone
and the endless wait for a new dawn
after our own sunset

My Apology

Depending on what I should feel
on the way on the day I decided to leave
remembering places
where we walked
before

Remembering time
when we were in love
draining moods every day
waiting for my drug..

Did you ever feel the same?
did I say goodbye?

The wonder flowing slow
the bridges falling down
the empty spaces
of your hate

Surrounding walls
you create
do you see me?
please, this is my apology..

It’s the way we are now
our winter will come
do you feel the same now?
did I say goodbye?

It’s the way we are now
our winter will come
did you ever feel the same?
did I say goodbye?

Constant Contrast

Every morning my self destruction grows
days and days asleep
to change the script of this show
the constant contrast too deep
facing the loss from that day, 19 years ago

Small workers inside and around
destroying and building again
on more solid ground
I’m leaving you now
departing from here
to avoid admitting that pain
is writing and singing your name

I lived a different world
a different life
not me
dreaming every day
every night
how happy I could be
I heard my ears blown away
the music louder than silence in me

I tried to balance accounts of my life
but a plain blank sheet is all that remained
it’s the obsession for desperate hope
for something I couldn’t cope
I still hit my head against the wall
’cause I’m so scared to lose your love

But I’m leaving you now
departing from here
to avoid admitting that pain
is writing and singing your name

Winter Will Come

Dark clouds
away and over again
falling leaves
moved by air
a wind from far suddenly appeared
sounds from the sky
in my ears

A well known smell all around in the air
silently…suggesting…invisibly it started to rain
your silence louder than words from your mouth
and the future declined
day after day, month after month
through the maze of your mind
infecting our path with several mines
I know I was wishing to escape
but I fell through the holes I create
it’s a pleasing feel to touch your skin
to be here, with you, breathing again

 Like thousands windows on the infinite time
in the dark sky the stars light shines
bringing us the story of the time before the start
of dead and born worlds
of planets and stars

Like thousands windows on the infinite time
in the dark sky the stars light shines
of dying and born worlds
of planets and stars

The sun on the sea
the reasons to fear
the silence that grows
the hate growing slow
the gap between us
the warmth leaving us

We see what we did
the places we lived
your voice speaking low
my voice leaving noise
the phone in your hand
your path to the end

We left our thoughts
and things flowing through
the faces of friends
the fire on the sand
the stars in the night
planets and skies

It’s what you believed
to what disappeared
already in the dark
I’m dying in your heart
the summer has gone
and winter will come

It arrived…and left us behind

The Slow Deceit

I should have looked after us better
drive faster the road to surrender
I thought that love was meant to keep us together
I lived all this but it seems I can’t remember

If I close my eyes your vision dies
and all the whys and the alibis
some things are harder to perceive
I’m scared something good might cease
I’m scared of your mighty dreams
and so I abide in slow deceit

You wonder why I’m so perfectly restrained
you asked me once why I’m so afraid
you can’t deny I tried to feel
I turned to move but it was too late

As I close my eyes our vision flies
there are no more whys and alibis
some things are harder to perceive
I’m scared something good might cease
I want to live your mighty dreams
I will not sight our own defeat
