One Of A Kind is a concept-album, freely inspired by Stephen King’s novel “The Dead Zone”, composed by 12 tracks of powerful, refined and meticulously crafted sound. All the songs are the result and follow the natural course of a path that began years ago; they develop a great synergy between melody, harmony and lyrics, which makes every song unique, though perfectly inserted in the concept.
For this occasion there are some special guests, three former Michele’s companions: Oleg Smirnoff, Andrea “Tower” Torricini and Federico Puleri. What makes this project so special is the presence of “true” elements and instruments: acoustic drums, guitars and piano (the latter played by Luppi himself). This new band wants to combine the various experiences of his members in a brand-new music reality!
There are so many different influences in this intense work: Metal, Rock, Prog, Power, with a huge measure of Hard Rock sound. The accurate songwriting and arrangement make Killing Touch a band with several nuances and great personality, that will find its natural strength in the “live” dimension. The great on-stage experience of some members of the band has been an essential requisite for composing fresh, powerful and genuine songs. Passion, professionalism and dedication are distinctive elements of this album, that make both the musician and the composition itself stand out. The result is a unique sound (…”One of a kind”…), that is the representation of what Killing Touch are today, both at the emotional and musical level.
One Of A Kind
Killing Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running scared among the fields of passion, like a fire grown cold
Left the glory under lock and key where my gold is slowly turning to rust
All the blame you've been taking will only get this far
Give yourself a new meaning, don't waste your precious time
[Tommy "The Touch" Wolf:]
I can see where I'm going
I'm holding to now, ain't looking back
Though my hands are tied and I can't break free
One of a kind, no turning back
We're heading right to nowhere
I'm one of a kind and I don't know why...
For you are still within...
There I can see you, Carol...
See the sun going down while I'm thinking, living just a vivid past
By the time I realize my mistakes all the curtains will be fallen apart
[Dave:]
All the pride you've been hiding will only get this far... (... Will only get this far...)
Give yourself a new living, don't waste your precious heart
[Tommy:]
I'm one of a kind, no turning back
I can see where I'm going
I'm holding to now, ain't looking back
All the choices made and the vows I forgot
One of a kind, no turning back
We're heading right to nowhere
I'm one of a kind and I don't know why...
For you are still within...
There I can see you...
Almost taken by the rocking movement, my numbers are the colours of life
My securities... They only feed my aversion to look straight in your eyes
[Dave:]
All the love you've been saving will only get this far... (... Will only get this far...)
Give yourself a new meaning, don't waste your precious life
[Tommy:]
I'm one of a kind, no turning back...
I'm holding to now, ain't looking back...
One of a kind, no turning back...
I can see where I'm going, yeah
I'm one of a kind, now I'm alive...
Though my hands are tied and I can't break free
I'm one of a kind, no turning back
I can see where I'm going... (I can see where I'm going...)
I'm one of a kind and I don't know why...
Though my hands are tied and I can't break free
(I want to see you Carol...)
One of a kind, no turning back
We're heading right to nowhere... (Heading right to nowhere...)
I'm one of a kind and I don't know why...
For you are still within...
There I can see you, Carol...
The song "One of a Kind" by Killing Touch features the vocals of Dave "The Friendship" Maxwell and Tommy "The Touch" Wolf. The song is about feeling lost and running scared in fields of passion like a fire that has grown cold. In the first verse, Maxwell sings about leaving the glory under lock and key, where his gold is slowly turning to rust. Meanwhile, Wolf sings in the chorus about how he is one of a kind and that he can see where he is going, although his hands are tied and he can't break free. The song talks about realizing one's mistakes before it is too late and not wasting one's precious time and heart.
The second verse is about seeing the sun going down while living in the past. When the curtains have completely fallen apart, there is no more time left to rectify the mistakes. Then, the singers urge listeners to give themselves new meaning, not to waste their precious life, and to stop hiding their pride and love. The song concludes with Wolf singing about his desire to see Carol, and how he is heading right to nowhere, even though he can see where he is going and is one of a kind.
