1) ASP is a German darkwave band from Frankfurt am Main formed in 1999. The name Asp is taken from the pseudonym of the band leader and is pronounced as one word (like the snake), but written in capital letters. They formed in 1999 by Alexander Frank Spreng and Matthias Ambré (a.k.a. "Matze"), producing their first 3-track demo CD later that year. In 2000, they signed a record deal with Tristol, who released the band's debut album Hast Du mich vermisst? as well as the band's first live performance, at the 'Gothicworld' festival.
Over the next few years, they released two more albums, and along with their debut album, formed the album series Der Schwarze Schmetterling. ASP continued to perform at high-profile festivals due to their growing popularity.
The band suffered some difficulty in 2004 with the bankruptcy of distributor EFA, though their albums were reissued later that year, along with the Interim Works Compendium, a 2CD collection of rarities as well as selected tracks from their three albums to date. Another string of live dates took them through to the release of Aus der Tiefe in May 2005, the fourth part of the Der Schwarze Schmetterling series. The fifth part Requiembryo followed in 2007.
The year 2008 saw the release of three new albums. First, a best of-album Horror Vacui was released in February. This was followed by a tour in Europe. At the end of August the band released Zaubererbruder - Der Krabat-Liederzyklus, an album based on the Sorbian Krabat legend. The live recording Akoasma - Horror Vacui Live became available in December 2008. They have also remixed Emilie Autumn's "Liar", plus provided vocals for the mix. It is known as the "Manic Depressive Mix" and is featured on the Liar/Dead Is The New Alive (Double Feature EP). The band released their first DVD in August 2009, entitled Von Zaubererbrüdern: Live & Unplugged.
In 2011, after almost 11 years of cooperation, the paths of the two founders of the band diverged - songwriter and singer Alexander "Asp" Spreng and producer and guitarist Matthias Ambré. ASP as a band continued with new partners, and the musicians Andreas Gross and Oliver Himmighoffen were retained for live performances. The reasons for separation are given officially as personal and professional differences.
One year later Oliver Himmighoffen also left the band. In his place Stefan Günther, who is a friend of Sören Jordan, joined the band. There are new festival dates in 2022, some in 2021 had to be cancelled due to the Corona epidemic, and they released a new Best Of compilation titled Reflexionen 1 and Reflexionen 2.

3) Asp is a thrash/hardcore/heavy metal band from Austin, Texas. Originating in 1999, Keith Palumbo (who worked at Waterloo Records and is a known drummer) had song titles, but nothing more. He met Chris Cline (an engineer and musician), but Chris moved back to his hometown and the project was put to the side until 2002. After spending some time in the studio working on music, Keith and Chris recruited Craig Moore for vocals who is known for his hardcore/grind/death/chaos metal vocal style. They finally had music to go with Keith's song titles, and their self-titled album was released in 2005 containing some very short songs (re-release on several streaming sites in 2021).

4) Asp, real name Berkay Köse, was born in 1997 in Ankara, Turkey. The artist had been influenced by rap music from an early age. Over time, his interest in songwriting grew and he wrote about street action and social critical themes. Blending the early lyrical spirit of rap music with modern industrial sounds, the artist strives to present songs that contain musically rich elements to the listeners with his recitation style that forms the basis of Anatolian Middle Eastern melodies.

ASP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And not a minute longer can I take
The voices I can hear
Chanting of my end, creeping near
Angel, spread your wings
How beautiful it sounds when sirens sing
Coming home
Coming home
To the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
Tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
I can hear them moan
In the wind so cold it cuts through flesh and bone
Now I am prey
They will come for me and I will have to pay
Angel, spread your wings
How beautiful it sounds when sirens sing
[Chorus]
Kein Weg zurück
Kein Weg hinaus
Kein Weg zurück
Kein Weg hinaus
Kein Weg zurück
Kein Weg hinaus
Kein Weg zurück
Kein Weg hinaus
Beware, no false move
I don't know why I have to reach the roof
And I run up the stairs
The steps all rotten, but I no longer care
Coming home
Coming home
Coming home
To the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
Tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
Tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
Tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
Coming home
Tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
Coming home
Tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
To the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
Tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
To the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
"Coming Home" by ASP is a song about one's imminent demise and the feeling of being chased by unknown forces. The song opens with the singer lying awake and hearing voices chanting about his or her end. The repetition of "tiles" in the chorus suggests that the singer is heading towards the roof where they may fall or jump to their death. The lyrics hint that something terrible has happened to the singer, or something terrible is about to happen, and they can't escape it. The "Angel, spread your wings" line could mean that the singer is calling out to an angel to help them or to come and take them away.
The chorus of the song is the most poignant part of the song. The repetition of the word "Coming home" indicates that the singer is approaching their own death. However, as they approach, they are coming to terms with it and reconciling with the idea of dying. There is a sense of acceptance in their voice that suggests they are ready for whatever comes next. The sound of sirens in the background further cements the idea that the singer is heading towards a tragic end.
Overall, "Coming Home" is a powerful and emotional song that touches on themes of loss, acceptance, and the inevitability of death. It is a somber reflection on the human experience and the journey we all have to take.
Line by Line Meaning
At night I lie awake
Unable to sleep, I'm disturbed by my thoughts.
And not a minute longer can I take
My anxiety is unbearable and I can't stay still any longer.
The voices I can hear
I'm hearing sounds that I can't ignore.
Chanting of my end, creeping near
The sounds are warning me of my impending demise.
Angel, spread your wings
I look to a higher power for protection, asking for divine intervention.
How beautiful it sounds when sirens sing
Even in the face of danger, there can be beauty in the sounds around us.
Coming home
I'm returning to a place that's familiar, where I feel a sense of safety.
To the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles, the tiles
I'm coming back to the place where I belong, the place where I feel grounded.
I can hear them moan
The sounds that were warning me before are now intensifying.
In the wind so cold it cuts through flesh and bone
The environment around me is harsh and unforgiving.
Now I am prey
I'm vulnerable and being targeted by some unseen force.
They will come for me and I will have to pay
The danger is closing in on me and I'll soon have to face the consequences.
Kein Weg zurück
No way back
Kein Weg hinaus
No way out
Beware, no false move
I'm being careful and cautious, as any mistake could be fatal.
I don't know why I have to reach the roof
My actions aren't entirely clear to me, but I feel like I need to climb higher.
And I run up the stairs
I'm moving quickly and urgently to reach my destination.
The steps all rotten, but I no longer care
The path I'm taking is dangerous, but I'm willing to take the risk to get where I need to be.
