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 wonder when the first will fall.
I see the eyes wide open and the tongues that lick some lips;
The shadows how they're creeping up the wall.
There are those nights we want to rip our skin off,
Just to feel that we are, we are still alive.
All angels left us, left us all alone.
For an accident love or lover.
We are the lost ones searching for a home.
I see their faces: hollow smiles,
I see the shadows on the tiles.
Dancing.
Dancing on the wall.
Not even when they kiss, or when they touch each other with their hands,
Not even then they stop to dance.
Erotic nightmare, all the bodies are so wet, so beautiful,
So hot, so shivering, lost in trance.
There are those nights we want to rip our skin off,
Just to feel that we are, we are still alive.
All angels left us, left us all alone.
There are those nights we can no longer wait
For an accident love or lover.
We are the lost ones searching for a home.
I see their faces: hollow smiles,
I see the shadows on the tiles.
Dancing.
Dancing on the wall.
I know we're lost because the world is cold and love has died.
We're tired, we can no longer bleed,
So we shut out the day exuding all the madness and decay.
Come on, there is no time to sleep!
There are those nights we want to rip our skin off,
Just to feel that we are, we are still alive.
All angels left us, left us all alone.
There are those nights we can no longer wait
For an accident love or lover.
We are the lost ones searching for a home.
I see their faces: hollow smiles,
I see the shadows on the tiles.
I see them rise, I see them fall,
I see them dancing on the wall.
Dancing.
Dancing on the wall.
On the wall, I see them dancing.
On the wall, I see them dancing.
On the wall, I see them dancing.
The lyrics of ASP's song "Dancing" describes a scene of individuals dancing in a club or party. The singer observes the dancers, noting their naked bodies illuminated by blue and black lights. The lyrics suggest a sense of danger, as the singer wonders who will be the first to fall. Despite the potential danger, the dancers continue to dance, with wide open eyes and tongues that lick lips.
The song's refrain "There are those nights we want to rip our skin off, just to feel that we are, we are still alive" alludes to the idea that the dancers are seeking intense experiences in order to feel alive. The lyrics suggest that they have been abandoned by angels, and are searching for a home. The singer sees their hollow smiles and the shadows on the tiles, emphasizing the sense of isolation and searching.
The bridge of the song adds another layer to the lyrics, suggesting that the dancers are lost because love has died and the world is cold. The singer encourages them to embrace the madness and decay, rather than shutting out the day. Despite the darkness, the dancers continue to dance on the wall.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dancing" paint a vivid picture of a group of individuals seeking intense experiences and a sense of belonging in a world that feels cold and loveless.
Line by Line Meaning
I see their naked bodies dancing in the blue and black lights, And wonder when the first will fall.
I witness their unrestrained movements in the midst of a sensory spectacle and ponder about who will collapse first due to their unbridled indulgence.
I see the eyes wide open and the tongues that lick some lips; The shadows how they're creeping up the wall.
I observe their wide-open gaze and seductive gestures, while the shadows cast by the flickering lights advance gradually up the wall.
There are those nights we want to rip our skin off, Just to feel that we are, we are still alive. All angels left us, left us all alone. There are those nights we can no longer wait For an accident love or lover. We are the lost ones searching for a home.
There exist some instances where we desire to experience extreme physical sensation to convince ourselves that we are indeed alive. We acknowledge that all guiding spirits have abandoned us, causing a sense of isolation, and hence, we seek to gratify our search for love, whether accidentally or deliberately, for we are those who have wandered away without a fixed abode.
I see their faces: hollow smiles, I see the shadows on the tiles.
As I continue to observe, I notice their smiles lack genuine emotion, and the shadows cast by their movements form patterns on the floor.
Dancing. Dancing on the wall.
Every movement and gesture are captured and reflected on the surface of the wall.
Not even when they kiss, or when they touch each other with their hands, Not even then they stop to dance. Erotic nightmare, all the bodies are so wet, so beautiful, So hot, so shivering, lost in trance.
Even when they engage in intimate acts or physical contact, their dancing ceases not. Their bodies are drenched in sweat due to the fervour of their movements, emanating an eerie and alluring quality that leaves them lost in a state of trance.
I know we're lost because the world is cold and love has died. We're tired, we can no longer bleed, So we shut out the day exuding all the madness and decay. Come on, there is no time to sleep!
We recognise that we are lost since the environment we exist in is barren and loveless. We are exhausted and have nothing left to offer, so we isolate ourselves under the cover of darkness, suppressing all the chaos and degeneration that surrounds us. It's time to awaken and not waste away our time sleeping.
I see them rise, I see them fall, I see them dancing on the wall. Dancing. Dancing on the wall. On the wall, I see them dancing. On the wall, I see them dancing. On the wall, I see them dancing.
I observe their cycle of movement, from rising to falling, as they continue to dance and leave their shadows on the wall. The repetition of this action is reiterated, leaving an indelible impression in my vision.
