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.
Hollow Sky
Lebanon Hanover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the thought of falling down keeps me alive
and your hot lips print words into my skin
all revolt is imaginary
our castle reaches far into the clouds
so close to space and so superior
on top of that tower you can't withstand
and love me until the worst storm ever ends
honey are we 150 years old?
The lyrics of "Hollow Sky" by Lebanon Hanover paint a picture of a world that is not what it seems. Looking into the "hollow sky", we are presented with a view that is both beautiful and terrifying. The thought of falling down keeps the singer alive, suggesting that there is a certain thrill in the danger that surrounds them. The hot lips of a lover "print words into my skin", signifying the deep connection between the two, but also highlighting the fact that they are physically marked by the world around them. However, all revolt is imaginary, suggesting a sense of complacency in the face of oppression.
The castle that the singer and their lover inhabit is described as reaching far into the clouds, and being so superior that they can't withstand it. The imagery is one of power and domination, but also of isolation and loneliness. The worst storm ever will come, but for now, they are in love and protected by their castle. In the final lines of the song, the singer questions whether they are really 150 years old, perhaps suggesting that they are trapped in a timeless world where nothing ever changes.
