Im März 2015 standen die Aufnahmen zum Debut Album „The Verdict“ in den Pitchback Studios mit Aljoscha Sieg und David Beule (VITJA) an. Durch die intensive und produktive Arbeitsweise, kam schnell das Gefühl auf, dass dieses Projekt etwas Neues, etwas Größeres sein sollte.
Die Idee I AM NOAH war geboren.
I AM NOAH steht für energiegeladene Liveperformances, für den unbeugsamen Willen stets alles für die Passion Musik zu geben, die von so vielen Menschen geteilt wird.
Mit ihrem Debut Album präsentieren I AM NOAH sehr atmosphärischen Metalcore mit technisch versierten Riffings, harten Breakdowns und eingängigen Refrains und Singalongs. Die Texte behandeln die kritische Betrachtungsweise einer fiktiven Person namens Noah, der unserer Gesellschaft den Spiegel vors Gesicht hält.
The Verdict
I Am Noah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I welcome you to hell
Welcome to hell
Between the dead, the living, the starving and my own
I see nothing more than broken barriers by the crown
There's no chance to fix this without blood
What happened to the people they keep both eyes shut
You gave your soul to money, force and greed
If this is everything, cut your throat and bleed
Wait until your body is rotten
Welcome to the circle of the people who are forgotten
Free yourself from a fucked up world
And free your mind don't believe a word
You cannot be the strongest of yourself
If there is something that is holding you down
Look beyond what increase your sight
Don't let them tell you not to be alive
You cannot be the strongest of yourself
If there is something that is holding you down
Look beyond what increase your sight
Don't let them tell you not to be alive
You cannot be the strongest of yourself
You cannot be the strongest of yourself
Free yourself from a fucked up world
And free your mind don't believe a word
You cannot be the strongest of yourself
If there is something that is holding you down
Look beyond what increase your sight
Don't let them tell you not to be alive
You cannot be the strongest of yourself
If there is something that is holding you down
Look beyond what increase your sight
Don't let them tell you not to be alive
The song "The Verdict" by I Am Noah is a commentary on the current state of society, and how it has created a world full of broken barriers, greed, and forgotten people. The song starts with the singer inviting the listener to experience another world, which he refers to as hell. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the current state of society, which has become a place where people are no longer valued for who they are, but for what they have. People have become so consumed by money, force, and greed that they have lost sight of what really matters in life.
The singer then talks about how there is no chance to fix this without blood, which could be taken as a metaphor for how change often comes at a great cost. He questions what happened to the people who are willing to stand up for what is right, and why they keep both eyes shut. He then tells the listener to free themselves from this messed up world, and not to believe everything they are told. The overall message of the song is that we need to look beyond what is in front of us, and not let others bring us down. We can only be the strongest version of ourselves if we are not held back by the things in life that don't matter.
