In August 2006, prior to the release of the single "Are You Fine?," it was announced that the duo had dropped the "vs." from their name and were renamed to Kyau & Albert. Other aliases they use are Black Emanuelle, Dope the Globe, Moebius AG, and Quad.

Walk Down
Kyau vs. Albert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That wants to shine within the forest´s deepest place
And so I try like a cycle dropping sun to cover you
With all the things that make you shine
And when you walk down try to touch me
I'm waiting for a sign to keep me on the ground
And when you walk down try to touch me
Tonight I feel like a shipwrecked ray of light
That wants to shine within the forest´s deepest place
And now it seems that the shattered feeling
Which I blame for all the things disappears without a trace
No matter if I breathe the air that I need
No matter if I'm lost within a million crashing skies
And when you walk down try to touch me
I'm waiting for a sign to keep me on the ground
And when you walk down try to touch me
I'm waiting for a sign so heal me with your calm
The lyrics of "Walk Down" by Kyau vs. Albert speak of a feeling of being lost and disconnected, yet desiring to shine and be whole again. The singer describes feeling like a "shipwrecked ray of light" that wants to shine in the deepest, darkest parts of the forest. The person they are singing to holds the power to ground them and heal them with their mere touch or presence. The singer admits to feeling shattered and blaming those feelings for everything, but those negative emotions disappear in the presence of the one they are singing to.
The lyrics are powerful in describing the human experience of feeling lost and disconnected, wanting to shine and feel whole again, and the importance of human connection in grounding and healing us. The imagery of a shipwrecked ray of light and a million crashing skies evoke powerful emotions in the listener and create a visual representation of the internal struggle being described.
Interestingly, "Walk Down" was released on Kyau vs. Albert's album, "Here We Are Now," in 2015. The song has a catchy, upbeat electronic dance music (EDM) sound that is characteristic of the German DJ/producer duo.

This song is so perfect. Masterpiece!
@Ghostbear17
still amazing in 2022 and I love the simplicity of the video too!
@vladi569
12 years have passed and I still think this is their best song they ever produced. The beats are different, the overall style of the song is nothing like their other ones, and just feels the most original. I love Kyau & Albert, I think they are great, but they can really easy fall into their formulas. This song is different. And their best.
