In the beginning A_liFe [DIVIDED] developed from a progressive rock project of Tony and Erik's called Cydonian. In 2002 the singer quit the band and Jürgen, a friend of Erik’s, was quickly invited in. As the style of the new group changed so did the name, and A_liFe [DIVIDED] was born. With the deeply heart-felt lyrics, and Jürgen Plangger and Erik Damköhler’s characteristic songwriting, the band recorded their first album, Virtualized, in their own studio in their hometown of Geretsried.

Two years they finally released their second album, Far, this time mastering it in an actual studio.

In the summer of that year the guys went on tour as the opening act for Oomph!, getting the chance to be able to travel throughout Germany and reach audiences of thousands. Despite this fortunate opportunity, connections to various other German bands, and huge praise from the press and other artists (such as Alphaville, whose song “Sounds like a Melody” was covered on Virtualized), A_liFe [DIVIDED still has no record deal, having done everything thus far completely independently.

Considering how far the group has already come on their own, there is no need to worry that some time in the near future A_liFe [DIVIDED] will get the recognition they deserve.

A LiFe [DIVIDED] is:
Jürgen Plangger (vocals)
Mike Hofstätter (guitar)
Tony Berger (guitar)
Tobi Egger (bass)
Korl Fuhrmann (drums)
Erik Damköhler (keyboard/programming/guitar)

Feel
A Life Divided Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you’re weak, got lost in time
I dream a way so I can fly
There are stones on my legs
I can’t move aside, I got a rock on my chest
So heavy and might
It feels like I was dead but I’m alive

And I feel the world is closing but I love the good news

And I feel the time is running out but I’m still in touch with you

I wanna feel the sea
I wanna the love inside of me
I wanna feel the breeze
Drown in your beautiful ways
Oh let me drown in your sea

I watch the dust covering me
Locked in a shell, I can’t break free
Like a bird in a trap,
Willing to fly, I can’t get up and away
From the storm in my mind
This must be the last day of my life

And I feel the world is closing but I love the good news
And I feel the time is running out but I’m still in touch with you

I wanna feel the sea
I wanna the love inside of me
I wanna feel the breeze
Drown in your beautiful ways
Oh let me drown in your sea

I can live, I can die
I keep hanging on a lie
I can move, I can fly
With you everything’s alright
I keep floating around through my head for all my life

I wanna feel the sea
I wanna the love inside of me
I wanna feel the breeze

Drown in your beautiful ways
Oh let me drown in your sea

I feel overwhelmed and hopeless, wondering if today will be the end of my struggles

I can live, I can die
I have the power to either overcome my struggles or succumb to them

I keep hanging on a lie
I am holding onto the false belief that everything will be okay without putting in the work to change my situation

I can move, I can fly
I am capable of making changes and soaring above my struggles

With you everything’s alright
Being with you brings me comfort and makes me feel like everything will be okay

I keep floating around through my head for all my life
My struggles and anxieties have been consuming my thoughts for as long as I can remember

Lyrices for the good ones !

I know you’re weak, got lost in time
I dream a way so I can fly

It feels like I was dead but I’m alive

And I feel the world is closing but I love the good news
And I feel the time is running out but I’m still in touch with you

I wanna feel the sea
I wanna feel the love inside of me
I wanna feel the breeze
Drown in your beautiful ways
Oh let me drown in your sea

I watch the dust covering me
Locked in a shell, I can’t break free
Like a bird in a trap
Willing to fly, I can’t get up and away

This must be the last day of my life

And I feel the world is closing but I love the good news
And I feel the time is running out but I’m still in touch with you

I wanna feel the love inside of me
I wanna feel the breeze
Drown in your beautiful ways
Oh let me drown in your sea

Ich werd die Jungs als Support von Eisbrecher sehen und stimm mich schonmal ein bisschen drauf ein ;)

Was mir auffällt, dass ich irgendwie neben Parallelen zu Chester von Linkin Park extreme Parallelen zu Christoph von den Emil Bulls raushöre..nicht nur Stimmlich, auch Betonungstechnisch..jemand die gleiche Meinung?

@littleattic

Hab mir gerade auch gedacht dass es Ähnlichkeiten mit Chester von LP hat... klingt irgendwie so wie Linkin Park nur "ruhig" ;-)

@swaggbunny1502

what exactly is this song about??

@swaggbunny1502

Aleksandra Helena Pasieczna oh cool

@fernandomarcal869

What is it about ?

@swaggbunny1502

@Fernando Marçal the reply was deleted a while ago so I don't quite remember. It had something to do with it being the end of the world and the singer still wanting to keep in touch with the person the song is directed to. Something like that.
