Iceglass met her partner-in-music, William Maybelline, over the internet. Conversing through music recommender website LastFM, they initially sent each other ’80s YouTube videos, establishing their shared love of music. Eventually Iceglass took the trip to Maybelline’s home in Sunderland in North England and the rest, as they say, is history.
They offer an ice cold post-punk, fascinated by the beauty of art nouveau aesthetics, exploring British seashores and forests at night as well as inspired by the urbanism of Berlin.
Avalanche
Lebanon Hanover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask me if I′m a goth or a manic depressive,
But please don't be disturbed.
Why ever since I left our friendship breaks to pieces,
Because I′m tired of your sad lives,
How everyone made it without romance in this city,
Can you not see,
That we can beat the cold with our closest friend,
As long as we′re together we′re an avalanche.
No one likes each other.
In the 21st century.
I want to lose the others,
Because I have to think about me.
No one likes each other.
In the 21st century.
I want to lose the others,
Because I have to think about me.
No one likes each other.
In the 21st century.
I want to lose the others,
Because I have to think about me.
The song "Avalanche" by Lebanon Hanover expresses a sense of detachment and discontentment towards modern society's lack of meaningful connections. The opening lines of the song carry a melancholic tone as the singer requests the listener to enquire about their well-being, although they are aware that their gloomy appearance might cause unease. The following lyrics suggest that the singer has grown tired of their former friendships that lack the spark of romance, which is possibly a reference to deeper emotions and intimacy rather than pure romantic love. The singer empathizes with their old friends' sad lives, which seem to be a product of a modern society that lacks human warmth.
However, the singer finds solace in the idea that as long as they have their closest friend, they can still form a tight-knit bond that can withstand the coldness of the world outside. They both become an "avalanche," a force that sweeps everything in its path, symbolizing the strength of their friendship. The song's repetitive chorus emphasizes the importance of 'me' in a society that seems to have lost its collective sense of compassion and support. The singer acknowledges that no one likes anyone else, leaving no option but to think about oneself.
In summary, "Avalanche" is a reflection on the current state of human relationships in modern society, a society that often values individualism over a sense of community. The song's lyrics express a longing for meaningful connections, while also acknowledging the importance of self-preservation in an often inconsiderate world.

You don't have to pay too much attention to that stuff. Just be yourself. You don't have to try to think outside of the box when there is no box to begin with.

Love this song, but totally reminds me of depressive black metal until the vocals come in of course. Win win either way.
