Audio Adam
Ze zitten vol melodie, ze hebben een stevige ritmische fundering en gitaarriffs die messcherp zijn.
Viermansband Audio Adam maakt een eigen variant tussen inspiratiebronnen als Snow Patrol, Starsailor en Keane. Reeds verkozen tot Serious Talent, ervaring opgedaan bij de Popronde en ook nog eens de finale bereikt van de Sena Awards.
De band opende al voor Scouting For Girls en Go Back To The Zoo. Ze kunnen zich opmaken voor een mooi 2012, eentje die al geweldig begon met vier shows op Eurosonic.

Audio Adam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're an army but there is no sound
And I know
It's amazing there's no wrong or right
Only one place where we can get out
So go
Do you have a reason?
It all starts when we don't understand
Where we've gone wrong
What's more, you say, you fight for freedom
Your goal is what has been foreseen
But you're wrong
And I trust you, one day realize
All the men you slaughtered in your sight
They were grown
We'll just keep patrolling and we carry on
And we will hear the bells of freedom when we fall
Cause when you try to leave it all
Your better way, we're almost out
Is he calling, all the lines are dead
Don't interpret that we're friends instead
And I know
We're all strangers but almost the same
But I'm sure they'll never let me down
After all
We'll just keep patrolling and we carry on
And we will hear the bells of freedom when we fall
Cause when you try to leave it all
Your better way, we're almost out
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Why you're waiting here in silence?
Are you waiting for some kind of sign?
Why you're waiting here in silence?
Are you waiting for some kind of sign?
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
The opening lines of Audio Adam's song "Sign" describe a group of people who are moving together but not making any noise. The singer characterizes them as an army, which suggests that they are taking some kind of collective action. However, the lack of sound underscores the sense that this group is not exactly unified. The next line, "And I know..." is somewhat cryptic, but it suggests that the singer is confident about something. Perhaps he is certain that the people moving in silence will ultimately achieve some kind of goal or that they will succeed in whatever mission they are undertaking.
The next stanza of the song develops a somewhat contradictory theme. The singer asserts that there is no right or wrong, only one place where the group can get out. It's unclear what that means, but it could imply that the people in the group are facing a bleak or difficult situation and that they have few options. The call to "Call on God" adds a spiritual dimension to the lyrics, suggesting that the group is praying for guidance or divine intervention. The line "It all starts when we don't understand where we've gone wrong" reinforces the sense that the group is facing some kind of setback or confusing situation.
Line by Line Meaning
I see faces when we're slowing down
As we approach a pause in our journey, I can see the faces of those around me
We're an army but there is no sound
Although we are a unified group, there is a palpable lack of noise or communication among us
And I know
Despite the silence, I am certain of something
It's amazing there's no wrong or right
The situation we find ourselves in exists beyond notions of right and wrong
Only one place where we can get out
There exists only one path towards escape
So go
We should move forward towards that escape
Call on God
Seek intervention from a higher power
Do you have a reason?
What is the motivation behind your actions?
It all starts when we don't understand
Mistakes occur when we are uncomprehending of the consequences of our actions
Where we've gone wrong
Reflecting on where we have made mistakes
What's more, you say, you fight for freedom
You claim to be fighting for the sake of freedom
Your goal is what has been foreseen
Despite your efforts to create a new future, the outcome has been predetermined
But you're wrong
Your assumptions are incorrect
And I trust you, one day realize
I have faith that you will eventually come to an understanding
All the men you slaughtered in your sight
The people whose lives you have taken in your pursuit of your goal
They were grown
Each individual was a unique and valuable human being
We'll just keep patrolling and we carry on
We will continue to move forward and perform our duties
And we will hear the bells of freedom when we fall
Our efforts will not be in vain, as we will eventually achieve the freedom we strive for
Cause when you try to leave it all
Attempting to abandon everything
Your better way, we're almost out
There is a better solution, and we are nearly there
Is he calling, all the lines are dead
Despite attempting to communicate, we are not receiving any response
Don't interpret that we're friends instead
Do not mistake our lack of hostility for friendship
And I know
Despite this realization, I remain certain of something
We're all strangers but almost the same
Each of us is unfamiliar to each other, but we are similar in many ways
But I'm sure they'll never let me down
Despite our differences, I trust that they will not disappoint me
After all
Despite everything that has happened, our shared humanity remains intact
Why you're waiting here in silence?
What is the reason for your passive inaction?
Are you waiting for some kind of sign?
Are you expecting some sort of indication or directive?
