1) GODSPEED rose from the demise of TURNING POINT and released 6 of the most well structured songs that fall somewhere between emotional hardcore and slower post hardcore tunes. GODSPEED existed for a very short period, played some amazing live shows and parted ways This documents what was done and leaves most wanting more.

2) Masahiro Aoki, a VGM composer who has made several rearrangements, covers and original music (with ViViX, primarily). Some tracks are available on http://www.vivix.info

3) Godspeed were an American heavy metal band formed in 1994. Following the release of their debut (and only) album Ride, produced by Rachel Bolan of Skid Row, the band embarked on two high-profile tours as the opening act for Black Sabbath, Dio, and Cathedral. They also gained attention with an appearance on the Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black, on which they teamed up with Bruce Dickinson to record a cover of the Black Sabbath song Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Their initial momentum could not be sustained, however, and the band broke up in 1996.

April
Godspeed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

this feeling of regret
come again in the voice of a stranger
but it feels like a familiar face.
same one i see every time i close my eyes
it won't let me go.

inside this cloudless night i pull down my april moon
and i keep it by my side

it keeps me company when you're
in the room

these scars run deep and these flashbacks keep me awake when i try to sleep or when you're living next to me
and you look to me
with tired eyes and loveless lips and you look past me out the window
i'm still waiting for the season of change.

so brick by brick i build this wall

but don't worry
you'll find me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Godspeed's song April paint a picture of regret and longing. The singer feels haunted by memories and a sense of familiarity with a stranger's voice. The feeling is so strong that it seems like a face they see every time they close their eyes. It's a feeling that won't let go, a lingering regret that the singer just can't shake.

The song then moves to a cloudless night, and the singer pulls down their April moon, keeping it by their side. The moon serves as company during the time the singer is in the same room as the love interest who seems detached and distant. The lyrics hint at past trauma and hurt that run deep, causing the singer to experience flashbacks that keep them awake. Even the love interest seems emotionally unavailable, with tired eyes and loveless lips. They look past the singer out of the window, and the singer is left waiting for a season of change.

The final lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness as the singer builds a wall brick by brick to deal with their sadness and loneliness. However, the song ends with a cryptic message, "don't worry, you'll find me," which suggests that the singer may be holding onto some hope for the future, despite their current sadness and pain.
