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.
Tommy's Cane
Killing Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever I touch things I do share a tale, we're born to make mistakes
I have to rely on my beloved cane, I see things that are never wrong
Some would call it a miracle... A gift, a sign, a damnation...
I'd rather stay out of trouble
Whenever I'm touching my walking cane I rewind all the memories
[Dave "The Friendship" Maxwell:]
Ain't your fantasy but a score of the lives we live
Tommy's walking cane
[Tommy:]
Humans deserve to know the twist of fate and fill the blanks of pain
Anytime we get along, anytime we leave the wire uncut
Until a spike of ego comes and makes our consciousness kill the faith
Some would call it a miracle... Thoughts and dreams become physical...
I'd rather stay out of trouble
Whenever I'm touching my walking cane I rewind all the memories...
Only trying to achieve the best for you and me
[Dave:]
Then no one is satisfied... (No one is satisfied...)
Once they know, here comes another tear
Keep moving your human pawns, ain't your fantasy but a score of the lives we
Live
Tommy's walking cane
Tells a lie we live in
[Tommy:]
I can see all the way, you just stay away from me
I can see all the way... Memories, prayers, goals, mistakes...
Play on player, don't pull the plug, still two wrongs don't make a right...
I can see all the way... (All the way...)... I'm a lightning rod, don't care 'bout fame
Can't break down this wall of shame, still two wrongs don't make a right...
[Dave:]
Tommy's walking cane
Tommy's walking cane
[Tommy:]
Justice falls and I know that I can't play God
Though we are of a single mind, no one is a single thing... Yeah!
[George "The Mask" Adams:]
I can lead all the nations, take my hand and I'll take up your fears
In a World made of honour and pride, will this God give me all that I need to get by?
[Tommy:]
Adams can't lead a Nation, grab my hand and I'll show you my fears
In a World made of sorrow and lies, will your God give me all that I need to get by?
I'd rather stay out of trouble
Whenever I'm touching my walking cane I rewind all the memories...
Only trying to achieve the best for you and me
[Dave:]
Then no one is satisfied... (No one is satisfied...)
Once they know, here comes another tear
Keep moving your human pawns
Ain't your fantasy but a score of the lives we live, yeah... Of the lies we live...
The lyrics of Killing Touch's song "Tommy's Cane" are a reflection on life, the mistakes we make, and the tools we use to guide us through it all. Tommy "The Touch" Wolf recounts his experiences with his cane, which acts as a metaphor for the memories and lessons that guide him. He believes that living is learning, and mistakes are inevitable. Even when it feels like his faith has been killed, he clings to the memories he's gained and the hope that things will improve. Tommy is aware of the impact of human behavior on life's twists of fate and pain.
The song stresses the importance of empathy and understanding others. The lyrics suggest a sense of responsibility to help others navigate through life's challenging moments but emphasizes that everyone's pain is unique and cannot be completely understood. The phrase, "Of the lies we live," points to the idea that people tell themselves lies to make it easier to cope with difficult truths. Ultimately, the song's message is optimistic: the journey through life is worth it, even with its highs and lows, and our experiences define us.
