Original Soundtracks – Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice

Il primo lunedì del nuovo anno segna la ripresa della rubrica Original Soundtracks, che vorrebbe allietare l’inizio di ogni settimana dei miei lettori. Questo lunedì lo dedico a Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, che mi è capitato di (ri)finire su PC dopo averlo giocato su PlayStation 4. Se te lo fossi perso, sto parlando di uno dei giochi più interessanti della generazione passata. Certamente uno di quelli che ti segna profondamente, perché vuole provare a farti sentire le sensazioni che colpiscono le persone affette da schizofrenia. Secondo me riuscendoci.

La colonna sonora del capolavoro di Ninja Theory è affidata a David Garcia Diaz, affiancato da Andy LaPlegua. Il risultato, a mio avviso, è eccezionale e di sicuro impatto emotivo. Quella che propongo qui, è una canzone firmata da VNV Nation e intitolata Illusion: viene proposta come musica finale e accompagnamento ai titoli di coda. Certamente, i più appassionati di musica, tra i miei lettori, l’avranno già sentita. Anche il testo è molto bello e lo riporterò sotto al video. Buon ascolto e buon 2021 a te che mi leggi.

I know it’s hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don’t want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you’re human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand. Please, don’t cry now

Please don’t go, I want you to stay
I’m begging you please, please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to hate
For all the hurt that you feel

The world is just illusion, trying to change you

Being like you are
Well this is something else, who would comprehend?
But some that do, lay claim
Divine purpose blesses them
That’s not what I believe, and it doesn’t matter anyway
A part of your soul ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last, but I’m still not sure

But what I do know, is to us the world is different
As we are to the world but I guess you would know that

Please don’t go, I want you to stay
I’m begging you please, please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don’t go, I want you to stay
I’m begging you please, oh please don’t leave here

I don’t want you to change
For all the hurt that you feel
This world is just illusion, always trying to change you

Please don’t go, I want you to stay
I’m begging you please, please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don’t go, I want you to stay
I’m begging you please, oh please don’t leave here
I don’t want you to change
For all the hurt that you feel
This world is just illusion, always trying to change you
