Not when AHEAD TO THE SEA are entering the stage!
This is the new band of the Singer of Across the Border (RIP)!
Riverdance on Speed, with hard Guitars and a great Rhythm-Section, spiced with some cool Dub, the spirit and sound of Punk and some hot Ska Beats. That is their sound and they call it: Folk Punk.
Great Lyrics about Unfairness, Fight and Love, Happiness and Pain without beeing a teacher.
The heart is on the left side...!
A Must have for fans of The Pogues or newer bands like Flogging Molly!

Like Lot
Ahead To The Sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And whispers cold my name
While he howls around the house
Fuel to the flame
So I close all windows tight
And I put plugs in my ear
A pillow over my head
For I won't hear
I won't turn around and I won't look back
I won't cry and curse and all that shit
I don't wanna turn in a pillar of salt
Me love like Lot once did
I went through my flat and packed all your things
In a cardboard box to set me free
But we can't do this with memories
Me love, me love, can't we
I wrote you many lines from all over the place
They drowned in a river, burned in my fireplace
Hey-Hey-Hey... to find a way
Hey-Hey-Hey... to find my way
To find my way
The song "Like Lot" by Ahead to the Sea is about letting go of a past relationship and moving on. The lyrics describe a person who is haunted by the memories of their former lover, represented by the north-east wind that blows and whispers their name. The singer tries to block out the memories by closing windows and putting in earplugs, but is ultimately unable to escape the pain of their broken heart.
The chorus of the song refers to the biblical story of Lot's wife, who turned into a pillar of salt after looking back at the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The singer resolves not to make the same mistake, choosing instead to focus on the future and leave behind the pain and regret of the past.
The second verse of the song explores the difficulty of letting go. The singer packs up their former lover's belongings in a box, but realizes that memories cannot be so easily discarded. They have written letters to their ex, but these have been destroyed, symbolizing the futility of trying to reconnect with someone who has moved on.
Overall, "Like Lot" is a deeply personal and introspective exploration of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. It makes use of vivid imagery and references to biblical stories to convey the intensity of the singer's emotions.
