Trance/prog with proper poetic lyrics

Can anyone recommend any vocal trance/prog with decent lyrics?
I understand that "decent lyrics" is very much a subjective thing, but it I just hate the way nearly all vocal trance is poor and samey in terms of lyrical quality and delivery. I just want tracks with some kind of poetic merit, that don't just consist of a warbling female voice going "omg i luv u so much".
I've been listening to a lot of Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers, Neutral Milk Hotel etc. recently, and it really puts into perspective how bland and unimaginative a lot of vocal trance is.
Obviously this is dance music - I can't expect to hear Yorke-esque genius, but I'm hoping some of the knowledgeable EDM guys on here could point me in the direction of some good stuff, just anything you think I might enjoy based on what I've said in this post.
Cheers.
P.S. If you're about to suggest something like 'Interstate - I Found U', just don't bother thanks. |

Dear I dont think that any of the trance, progressive trance tracks are not lovei stuff- but still some are better than the rest!
here are few- well I love them...
Luminary - My World
Its a little late love the night is caving in
Lights hang overhead like stars - my dress is black as sin
And the music is low and my body is yours
Wont you hold me tight until they close the doors
And the rythm is smooth like the sea against the sand
And i tremble with each touch of your hand
You dont really know me and i dont recall your name
But i like the way your body moves and i know you feel the same
So welcome to the club life baby step into my world
I dont care if you got much cash, if youre a boy or a girl
Its the way you wear your hair, your careless little smile
Its the way you dance with me until im spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning yeah
Some might call it a one night stand, but i dont really care
Its far to late to define this and we cannot stay here
So its out into the street, and its out into the night
And its so long to this love affair, so i'll kiss you goodbye
Late Night Alumni - Empty Streets
the city feels clean this time of night just empty streets
and me walking home to clear my head
i know it came as no surprise
i'm affected more than i had guessed on what was said
if the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open
if we make it i won't see it's broken
if the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open
if we make it i won't see how it's broken
it's the quiet time before the dawn and i'm half past making sense of it, was i wrong?
should i claim to give it all in a world where not much ever seems to last long
if the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open
if we make it i won't see it's broken
if the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open if we make it i won't
see how it's broken
if the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open
if we make it i won't see it's broken
if the smile's not meant to be, if the heart's not ready to open
if we make it i won't see how it's broken
how it's broken
Andain- Beautiful Things
Got up early, found something’s missing
My only name
No one else sees, but I got stuck
And soon forever came
Stopped pushing on for just a second
Then nothing’s changed
Who am I this time, where's my name?
Guess it crept away
No one's calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won't bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore
Look straight ahead, there’s nothing left to see
What’s done is done, this life has got its hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be
I forgot that I might see
So many beautiful things
I forgot that I might need
To find out what life could bring
Beautiful things
Take this happy ending away
It's all the same
God won't waste this simplicity
On possibility
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
This trace of blame
Frozen still I thought I could stop
Now who's gonna wait?
No one's calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won't bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore
Look straight ahead, there’s nothing left to see
What’s done is done, this life has got its hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be
So many beautiful things
So many beautiful things
Now what do I do?
Can I change my mind?
Did I think things through?
It was once my life
It was my life at one time |

*U.N.K.L.E. - In A State (Sasha Mix)
My mind is in a state
'Cause all i seem to do is tempt my fate
Well i try every space
But all the while we're crushing at the gate
This time, this time
Reality struck me between the eyes
My mind is in a state
'Cause everything i miss it comes too late
So i try and disappear
But there is only one way out of here
This time, this time
Reality struck me between the eyes
My mind is in a state
But all i need to do is change my pace
And i know there's fear to face
But happiness is firm in its embrace
This time.
*Infusion - Legacy
Aquaman knows what to do
days seem shorter than they are
finished counting all the stars
feel the gears wind down again
another paycheck to cash in
may the lord of flesh and bone
leave you some to call your own
as we slowly feel our way
through another shapeless day
up the hill to sow some seed
nostalgia's warmth is all we need
past dissapointments turn to steam
we're superheros, in our dreams
throw the radio up high
watch it drown out half the sky
synaesthesia coloured blue
aquaman knows what to do
the secrets that we keep
send our children fast asleep
keep your head lights nice and low
it's a subtle tempting show
through the windsweep we can see
a cinematic legacy
leaving cities paved with gold
to pilot frigates through our souls |

Junkie XL - 'Beauty Never Fades' is rather poetic.
Any Kate Bush remix.
or just forget looking for good poetic lyrics in EDM and listen to The Smiths. :) |

The light, euphoric,I've waited for so long,I'm crashin',sweet palm in these eyes,Like a six-ton megabomb,You're high,plutonic,I've waited to this time,The force,erotic,Like a deuce from a laser storm,Despite,subsonic,Like a car crash in the rain,Your karma,it's solid,You've got wonders of your own....Ever alone, ever known...It's never felt so right, as I've never known before
The fire, the hit,Like a meltdown powerzone,Brainstormin', at the very thought of love Like a voice in a hurricane,You're high, plutonic,I've waited for so long,The force, excited,Like the light from a runaway train,Despite, exotic,Rushin' through my mind You're whole, your soul,You're like ice on a desert plain.
Grat song, please take a listen before you die, you will regret if you don't do it =) |
