Von ihrem Haus im Nürnberger Umland arbeiten A Tale of Golden Keys seit Jahren akribisch an ihren englischsprachigen Popsongs. Zwischen Großstadtflair und Landcharakter ist Raum, um große Melodien zu schreiben. Ein feinfühliges Schlagzeug, ein schnurrender Bass, eine warme Orgel, Gitarrenflächen und ein Klavier der Extraklasse bilden dabei die Grundlage für einen überwältigenden Gesang. Selten hört man eine so warme und feinfühlige Stimme, die jeden Ton mitten durch die Eingeweide jagt. Heraus kommt eine ironisch anmutende Endzeitstimmung, die beim ersten Stück des Albums „All Of This“ sofort ihre Arme ausbreitet. Stück an Stück reihen sich kleine Kunstwerke aneinander, um am Ende mit „It Begins“ nichts weiter als den Anfang zu propagieren. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass A Tale of Golden Keys hinterm Mond den Weltuntergang überleben, während alles andere fröhlich den Bach runter geht.
Waves
A Tale Of Golden Keys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The dust on out bedsheets
Calls out so desperately
I walk down the pathway sand beneath my feet
Inhale all the silence surrounding my sleep
A photograph in frame lies broken on the floor
The inksand from my desk
Smashed against your door
I pass out while i'm drinking
Still craving for more
The lights break down the guards
For waves to pass the dark
M.T.

Line by Line Meaning
A picture in the hallway is all that's left for me
The only thing that remains of our memories is a picture hanging in the hallway.
The dust on our bedsheets calls out so desperately
The dusty sheets on our unmade bed seem to be pleading for our return.
I walk down the pathway sand beneath my feet
I walk on the beach, feeling the sand grains shifting beneath my feet.
Inhale all the silence surrounding my sleep
I breathe in the peaceful stillness of my surroundings which envelop my slumber.
A photograph in frame lies broken on the floor
I see a photo, once encased in a frame now shattered, lying on the ground.
The inksand from my desk smashed against your door
The black ink sand from my desk was flung, striking against the door where you stood.
I ride along not knowing what for
I continue on my journey without a clear direction or purpose.
I pass out while I'm drinking still craving for more
Despite already being drunk, I continue to drink and become unconscious while still desiring more.
The lights break down the guards for waves to pass the dark
The breaking of the light diminishes the barriers and allows the waves to be visible in the darkness.
