After two albums, recording, producing and mixing all their music by themselves, the band decided to improve on their 'Do-It-Yourself' mentality and take it to a next level. This 3rd album (appropriately called The 3rd Album) is a co-operation with producer Reyn. His recording studio, filled with old analogue synths, pianos and rare musical apparatuses, was an apt place for the quartet to put their creativity to the test. Twelve haunting songs have found their way into this work of fiction. The first single A good year for the robots, the ironic God dress America and the uplifting You will fall are just a few of the highlights on the album. The magazine-like booklet coming with the album is a compilation of 12 photographs by talented Dutch artists and photographers and 12 little stories accompanying the 12 songs. You'll also find all the lyrics in the back of the booklet. This whole Coparck magazine has been compiled and written by Girod, feeding the listener with images and words.
The album got very good response. National radio station 3FM and some magazines proclaimed it their “Album of the Week”, MTV made Coparck’s video for “Good Year for the Robots” as “Must-C”.
Kindamuzik.net mentioned Coparck’s album as “the new standard for Dutch bands”.
In autumn 2009 they released their last album, A Dog and Pony Show. In februari 2010, after ten beautiful years, they decided to stop. After giving one last tour, and playing at several festivals, they finally quit in summer 2010.
Consider This Goodbye
Coparck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will always keep you close to my side
And to, never allow a full moon to take control
Or to reawaken my tide
Look, deeply into your eyes beyond these doubts
Once wide awake they'll realize
That I was, your radiance but I can be there no longer
So consider this goodbye
If I could take the images within my head and have them painted
What I fear the most that I'm the product of something dangerous
They even told me careful who you open your heart to
Cause what's hidden the snakes venom it's harmful
Notice I'm not romantic, never knew exactly what love meant
So the only love I have is for the Holy Spirit
Always have been there for me, never allowed me to give in
Started with the man in the mirror which lead to self renovation
No I ain't Superman, no ain't Wolverine
No I ain't Hercules, I'm simply an average human being
Well eventually the devil will pretty soon have his way with me
From the second I jump, but need someone to mute my screams
And my agony and leave me as is
Maybe now I'll be missed, convinced there won't be a funeral service
So send me an angel oh heavenly Father
Consider this farewell, a song for my departure
God I know I promise that no matter what
I will always keep you close to my side
And to, never allow a full moon to take control
Or to reawaken my tide
Look, deeply into your eyes beyond these doubts
Once wide awake they'll realize
That I was, your radiance but I can be there no longer
So consider this goodbye
So this is where we must depart
Laying down along these avenues and boulevards
For now all I need is God and for you to pray for me
Any anguish along the way of this journey, then show no mercy
Haven't felt like myself lately, darkness is infiltrating
Sketch a canvas of light no longer illuminating
Headed for a malfunction, well I wasn't resilient
Was like vesseling a virus and vaccines into bliss
Trust me God this isn't their concern
Not even for a split second expect for me to return
Please promise me that when I'm gone
Who I was will be exposed
Yes maybe these flames are deadly but what I seek is in the smoke
I'm on a destination, have my suitcase and ticket
See this as my goodbye, as a matter of fact good riddance
So send me an angel oh heavenly Father
Consider this farewell, a song for my departure
God I know I promise that no matter what
I will always keep you close to my side
And to, never allow a full moon to take control
Or to reawaken my tide
Look, deeply into your eyes beyond these doubts
Once wide awake they'll realize
That I was, your radiance but I can be there no longer
So consider this goodbye
Am I your sense of relief or am I more like your burden
Doesn't matter it won't keep me from this train I'm boarding
Was like these events weren't given to me in portions
There I saw distortion, like I was a magnet for misfortune
While against my demons, there I was skeptical
But where life is unpredictable, God is incredible
So send me an angel oh heavenly Father
Consider this farewell, a song for my departure
God I know I promise that no matter what
I will always keep you close to my side
And to, never allow a full moon to take control
Or to reawaken my tide
Look, deeply into your eyes beyond these doubts
Once wide awake they'll realize
That I was, your radiance but I can be there no longer
So consider this goodbye
