1) A Popular French rock group Dolly got together in Nantes, a town in the west of France, in 1991. Their formation came about thanks to drummer Thierry Lacroix and singer Emmanuelle Monet - aka Manu - who shared a mutual passion for English and American music. The Anglophile duo teamed up with two musician friends - bass-player Mick Chamberlin and guitarist Nicolas Bonniere (who was just 15 at the time!) - and went on to make a name for themselves on the local music scene as Dolly & co.
Dolly and CΒ°'s early influences might have been lifted from the best chapters of an English/American rock compendium - indeed, the group's sound was heavily influenced by the likes of Blondie, Prince, the Pixies and the Smashing Pumpkins. But lead singer Manu's greatest source of inspiration was the work of English indie diva PJ Harvey. The young French singer was fascinated by Harvey's deep, melancholy vocals and, after seeing PJ in concert, Manu decided to accompany her own singing on guitar. Performing extensively on the local music scene, Dolly and CΒ° soon began to build up an extensive repertoire (most of which was written by Manu). And before long the group attracted a massive following of fans.
Encouraged by this early success on the local music scene, Dolly and CΒ° went into the studio to begin work on their debut album. After producing a mini album (featuring six tracks), Dolly and CΒ° went on to produce their first full-length album themselves. (The album, entitled simply "Dolly and CΒ°, actually scored a considerable hit on the national music scene, selling over 85,000 copies).
Shortly after the release of their dΓ©but album, the group underwent several major changes in their line-up, re-inventing themselves as Dolly. The new-look Dolly went on to sign a recording deal with the East West label and then returned to the studio to set to work on a new CD album.
2) Dolly (alternative tag: οΌ€ο½ο½ο½ο½) is a Japanese indie visual kei rock band formed in 2005 and currently signed to FUJI PRODUCTION.
Boasting a melodious guitar sound and a stylish musical sensibility that's dark and rich with attitude, band Dolly lures audiences into their elaborate fairy-tale world with their fusion of catchy radiance and a darkly distorted perspective.

Killing Time
Dolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see
This beautiful sky
Before she comes
Crashing down on you
What would you give
For one more life
Just to live
If you had the chance
To start again at zero
Would you be the same
And could you resist the temptation
Or would you
Live it as bad as you can
One more life
Just to see
This beautiful sky
Is what you need, but she'll come
Crashing down on you
What could you give
For one more life
Just to live, but you say
Living day by day
Who cares about tomorrow
Life is too short to pray
Relax now, it's only emotion
Keep cool now
Cos when it is time to go, you'll know
Killing time
These walls are closing in on you
Killing time
Killing time
These walls are closing in on you
Killing time
Killing time
Killing time
Killing time
Killing time
The lyrics of Dolly's song Killing Time talk about the fragility of life and the importance of living in the moment. The opening lines of the song highlight the beauty of the sky and the urgency to appreciate it before something tragic happens. The use of the word 'crashing down' creates a sense of impending doom and the questioning of what one would give for one more life emphasizes the value of life itself.
The second verse speaks to the idea of second chances and the choice one would make if they had the opportunity to start over. The line 'Live it as bad as you can' suggests that one might seize the moment and do everything they've ever wanted. The repetition of 'one more life' in the chorus further emphasizes the desire to live and enjoy life. However, the bridge of the song changes the tone by suggesting that life is short and unpredictable, so one shouldn't worry about the future, but rather enjoy the present moment.
Overall, Killing Time is a reflective song that encourages listeners to appreciate life and live in the present. The song uses powerful imagery and emotive lyrics to convey the message that life is precious and should be enjoyed to the fullest.

Falling upon or crushing you with great force
What would you give
What material or immaterial thing would you offer
For one more life
For the chance to live again
Just to live
Merely for the purposes of existence

What might you be willing to sacrifice
For one more life
In exchange for an additional opportunity to live
Just to live, but you say
Merely for the sake of existence, but, on the contrary, you declare that
Living day by day
Going through life one day at a time
Who cares about tomorrow
There is no concern for the future
Life is too short to pray
The duration of existence is insufficient for making supplication
Relax now, it's only emotion
Take it easy, this feeling will not last forever
Keep cool now
Maintain a calm demeanor in the present
Cos when it is time to go, you'll know
Because when it's the moment to depart, one will recognize it
