Explosiv, n… Read Full Bio ↴Hyrax is metalcore/hardcore band from Nürnberg, Germany.
Explosiv, neuartig und verdammt laut. Wie soll das alles funktionieren? Die Mischung Machts!
Groovige Hooks, brachiale Shoots, beruhigende Clean-Parts, gefühlvoller Gesang, technische Riffs und Soli. Hyrax ist schwer einem Genre zuzuordnen, deshalb lautet die hyraxianische Standardantwort: "Irgendwo zwischen Modern Metal und Nu-Metal." Oberste Priorität stellt dabei für Felix (Gesang), Klaus (Bass), Julian (Schlagzeug), Alex und Marius (Gitarren) immer die Leidenschaft zur Musik dar.
Seit Sommer 2008 arbeitet die 5-köpfige Metalfraktion nun zusammen und brachte schon im Frühjahr 2009 ihre selbstproduzierte Debut-EP "Trouble in the maiden's quarter" heraus.
Nach einer Phase von Gigs und Songwriting folgte die nächste, ebenfalls selbstproduzierte EP "Yes Offense!". Deren Release wurde am 6. Mai 2010 im Erlanger E-Werk bei einem Auftritt als Support von J.B.O. gebührend gefeiert.
Too Kind
Hyrax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too kind to be as hard as I used to be.
Too kind to shock, destroy all your hope and smile.
Too kind to lack the gates which I have to pass.
You were my friend since I have first time seen into your eyes.
I felt diseased, the butterflies flew away.
I hope to rise again so that I revive.
Where's me?
I love me.
I never wanted to be the way I am, I just wanted your love.
I never wanted to hurt you like I did, I just wanted to be me.
I've been your friend since you first time screwed deep in my ass.
I felt diseased, the butterflies pumped in my ass.
I feel so sick, I tried to resist it but no.
Not you, you cry, a child would be stronger.
I've been your friend, till I know that you're not right for me.
Since you I cry, I cry like a baby.
But now I go and I fight - I fight for myself and tonight, tonight, tonight - wanking is freedom!
In "Too Kind," Hyrax seems to be expressing a sense of internal conflict, torn between being kind and wanting to be true to oneself. The opening lines embody this conflict, with the singer acknowledging that they feel torn between leaving and staying, and that their kindness is something that is difficult to reconcile with their desire to be true to themselves. The chorus reinforces this struggle, with the singer saying that they never wanted to be the way they are and that they just wanted to be loved, but at the same time, they do not want to hurt those they care about.
The second half of the song takes a drastic turn, with the singer acknowledging a sexual encounter with a friend. The lyrics are explicit, describing the singer's initial distress and then their eventual surrender to the experience. The final lines of the song, "wanking is freedom," add another layer of complexity to the song's message. The singer seems to be suggesting that self-pleasure is an act of liberation from societal norms and expectations.
Overall, "Too Kind" is a song that explores the tension between kindness and self-expression, while also touching on themes of sexuality and freedom. It's a raw and honest track that showcases Hyrax's ability to engage with complex emotions and experiences through music.
