Annisokay is a 5-piece up-and-coming post-hardcore act reigning in from Halle, Germany. They have laid their foundation with a driving rhythmic and melodic backbone that brings to life soulful singing with earthshaking screams. In 2014 Annisokay signed with the mature independent record label SPV / Long Branch Records. On their debut LP “The Lucid Dream[er]” (released May 2014), the band took the concepts of nightmares and lucid dreaming and explored the depths of the human mind by applying these dream metaphors to everyday situations in life. See and hear the perfect example of this in their music video "Sky”. The song received a huge positive resonance from their fanbase and got over 300.000 views on youtube by now. This was followed by two other stunning music videos for the songs „Monstercrazy" and „Day To Day Tragedy“, all directed by the guitarist and singer of the band. Annisokay already recorded new songs in the United States with famous producer Joey Sturgis so be curious about it! With an already impressive fan following in Europe, it won’t be long before Annisokay conquers the world by storm.
As veterans to the live scene, Annisokay captures the essence of their audience by delivering an unrelenting performance that never leads to a dull moment. They push every limit to create a musical energy that brings themselves closer to their fans, on and off the stage, and they one day hope to share that same energy with the world. In cooperation with their booking agency Kingstar Music and their management Monster Artists the band supported music acts like SILVERSTEIN, BLESSTHEFALL, ESKIMO CALLBOY and played huge festivals like VAINSTREAM ROCKFEST and SUMMER BREEZE.

BEAT IT
Annisokay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want to see your face, you better disappear"
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it
They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you, then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it
Beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
The lyrics of Annisokay's song "Beat It" depict the story of a young man who is being threatened by a group of people. The person is being told not to come around and the group doesn't want to see his face. This suggests the person has been in trouble before or they are being perceived as someone who is going to potentially cause trouble. The second verse speaks about how the person needs to be tough and show that they are not scared. The person is playing with their life and needs to put up a fight if they want to survive, but at the same time they must not be reckless, hence "Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man."
The chorus is a rallying cry for the person to stand up and fight. They are encouraged to beat it (fight) if they want to be taken seriously and not defeated. The lyrics further reinforce that it doesn't matter who is wrong or right, but rather how "funky strong" one's fight is. The last verse gives another warning that the person better leave while they can because they are being hunted down. At the same time, they must show that they want to become a man and not a boy. The song encourages the person to be strong and persevere in the face of adversity.

Rahul Mistry
the best MJ cover I've ever seen. I had a feeling this name is inspired by MJ. you guys just became one of my favorites. And also, I always imagined and wanted someone to do a a similar cover of this song, especially the growls ... thank you
Tyler Monroe
Rahul Mystery actually their name is inspired by Anne Frank
HA.HA. GoodMeme
@Tyler Monroe I'm sure if you asked them they would admit to the MJ link too. In one of MJs most popular songs (smooth criminal) the main line is "annie are you ok" cmon bruh.
Tyler Monroe
@HA.HA. GoodMeme lmao didn't even think about that but the band is from Germany and stated the inspiration behind the name, but I'm pretty sure they would agree for the MJ reference too
サヤミ
Fall out boy did a decent cover as well if you haven't heard their version.
Romuald Marco
@サヤミ yes Fall out boy version is better
Chris Tully
I'm not sure what it is, but Christoph Wieczorek voice is just friggen amazing.

Well done! Love how natural - like someone recorded you by chance - you all look in this video. It looks like you were just jamming in the rehearsal room and that gives the video a nice touch of easiness. Keep the good work up - can't wait for another tour!
M M
itsmona exactly! I love music videos that have the players in such normal clothes...makes the music videos so much more enjoyable xD
