‘Event Horizon’
Sometimes when an irresistible force meets an immovable object, great things happen & this is one of those occasions. Welcome to I AM I.
MetalTalk.net: "..contained within this album is a myriad of moments of pure genius...ZP and the guys have delivered an album which is dripping with passion, talent and heart"
The formidable driving force behind the band is the renown vocalist ZP Theart. After his departure from Dragonforce in 2010 he worked tirelessly to put together a new project and after searching out an incredibly talented group of musicians, the lineup was completed and the end result was one of the most exciting new bands of 2012, I AM I.
The band's debut album 'Event Horizon' was written and produced by Theart and guitarist Jacob Ziemba and mixed and mastered by Roland Grapow (Helloween/Masterplan) and is a storming blend of melodies and rock, riffs and metal all interlaced with ZP's soaring vocals. Their debut video of the track 'Silent Genocide' taken from the album is the perfect example of all these and it's already proving to be a massive hit worldwide, gaining huge numbers of views in a very short space of time.
Through its collection of tracks of differing mood and tempos, Event Horizon is proving to have an incredibly broad appeal from fans of AOR right through to those into the heavier side of rock and metal, the music stepping through and beyond the boundaries of merely heavy rock. With a large number of eclectic influences within the band, this is the way I AM I intend to continue on as they have no desire to stay purely within one section of rock, they will continue to bring their unique songs infused with all these styles to the fore.
There's no doubt about it, heart, soul and absolutely no limits, I AM I are here to take the world by storm!

Stay a While
I AM I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always on the lookout on the run
You almost couldn't care
Yeah the loneliness is there
Drowning in the seas of madness
Broken heart to weigh you down
You desperately try but you cannot deny
Stay - stay a while as you cross your
Heart and you hope to die
Stay - stay and watch it all fade away
Moment of truth
There's a moment to behold
Creation come undone
As you watch the past unfold
Now here and forever
Don't let it in your way
It's one and the same, they preach their gospel in vain
No time to waste, time waits for no one
Stay - stay a while as you cross your
Heart and you hope to die
Stay - stay and watch it all fade away
Stay - stay a while as you cross your
Heart and you hope to die
Stay - stay and watch it all fade away
Stay - stay a while as you cross your
Heart and you hope to die
Stay - stay and watch it all fade away

Line by Line Meaning
Stranger in this town
Feeling out of place in a new environment
Always on the lookout on the run
Being cautious and constantly moving to avoid getting hurt
You almost couldn't care
Putting up a front of not being affected
Yeah the loneliness is there
Acknowledging the underlying feeling of isolation
Drowning in the seas of madness
Feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions
Broken heart to weigh you down
Suffering from heartache that is holding you back
You desperately try but you cannot deny
Attempting to ignore the pain, but ultimately failing
Say goodbye, it will bury you under
Letting go of the past is difficult, but necessary for moving on
Moment of truth
A critical point that will determine the future
There's a moment to behold
An opportunity to witness something significant
Creation come undone
A familiar world unraveling
As you watch the past unfold
Reflecting on previous events that have led to this moment
Now here and forever
In the present moment, for all time
Don't let it in your way
Don't allow obstacles to hinder progress
It's one and the same, they preach their gospel in vain
Others may push their beliefs onto you, but ultimately you must find your own way
No time to waste, time waits for no one
Wasting time is a mistake because it cannot be regained
Stay - stay a while as you cross your heart and you hope to die
Take a moment to reflect on life and contemplate the future
Stay - stay and watch it all fade away
Witnessing life's impermanence
