Coming from Bucharest - Romania, the five piece metal act started as an unexpected mixture of former members from the heavy metal band Thunderstorm and the winner of the 2008 national TV casting show Megastar.
The five guys met and as soon as they played together, all hell broke loose. After realizing that there's great potential to this unusual mix of different musical backgrounds, the band was soon to be baptized "Goodbye to Gravity", a name that's meant to defy strict rules, preconceived ideas and genre limitations.
The music they play is the natural result of the chemistry spawned by the collision of the two musical worlds. The traditional vs. the new, the brutal vs. the sensitive, the riffs vs. the melody. The band's full-on, high-energy tunes with great hooks and heavy breakdowns, is sure to rattle some bones in the industry.
The band ended their activity in 2015 after Colectiv club fire: 4 members died and vocalist Andrei Galut was seriously injured.
Band Members (last known line-up):
Andrei Galut - vocals
Alex Pascu - bass (deceased)
Vlad Telea - guitars (deceased)
Bogdan Enache - drums (deceased)
Mihai Alexandru - guitars (deceased)
Atonement
Goodbye to Gravity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only choice was forgive and forget
And I found comfort
In that it hasn't happened yet
Something inside me was calling
But all I could see was a threat
Cause I was sure it would cost me
Another lifetime to repent
For taking my time to find atonement
Taking my time to feel the moment
Taking the time to shun an omen
For taking in all my time
I started running
I wasn't gonna just stand there and wait
For the changes that were sure to dissipate
I figured, why should I risk it?
I don't wanna venture and I don't wanna gain
Instead of making the choices
I'd rather be left with silence again
For taking my time to find atonement
Taking my time to feel the moment
Taking the time to shun an omen
For taking in all my time
For taking the time to feed a promise
Taking my time to pay an homage
Taking the time to grieve the solace
For taking in all of my time
The lyrics to Goodbye to Gravity's song Atonement describe a feeling of impending doom that the singer is trying to avoid. They feel that something bad is coming, but they are not sure what it is. The only thing they can do is forgive and forget, and hope that nothing happens. They find comfort in the fact that it hasn't happened yet, but they also feel like they are being called to do something about it. However, they see this as a threat, and they are afraid that it will cost them another lifetime to repent. They are torn between wanting to take action and wanting to avoid the consequences.
The singer then decides to start running and not just stand there and wait for the changes that are sure to come. They are afraid of taking risks and making choices, and they would rather be left with silence again. However, they realize that they have taken too much time and need to find atonement, feel the moment, and shun the omen. They also need to take the time to feed a promise, pay homage, and grieve the solace.
