Nowhere / Catastrophe - Lyrics - Ulver

Ulver are a Norwegian experimental musical collective founded in 1993, by vocalist Kristoffer Rygg. Their early works, such as Bergtatt, were categorised as folklore-influenced black metal but have since evolved a fluid and increasingly eclectic musical style, blending genres such as rock, electronica, symphonic and chamber traditions, noise and experimental music into their oeuvre. 1997 marked their international debut with the release of their third album Nattens madrigal through German label Century Media. However, following discord with the label, Kristoffer Rygg formed his own imprint Jester Records in 1998.

You fly, or rather float, drift Through an enormous dark room A room of noises Endless shimmering glissandi Crackling pizzicato Coal black, turbulence holes of bass drones But otherwise empty No planets, no meteorites If anything, perhaps fine dust clouds of exploded music You float there, somewhere between pleasure and fear Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe In a piece of time you can't determine You're everywhere but in the present Hey you disappear further and further Into these incalculable rooms And your personality fades away Your features evaporate, your body decomposes And your last thought is that you have become noise A thin, nameless noise among all these others Howling in the empty dark room Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe Nowhere, Catastrophe
