Die Band gründete sich als klassische Schülerband um Lennart Eicke (Gitarre), Felix Eicke (Schlagzeug), Djamin Izadi (Synthesizer) und JP Neumann (Bass) unter dem Namen "Leoniden Cabaret". Der Sänger, Jakob Amr stieß im Jahr 2014 zu der Band. Die Leoniden veröffentlichten ihre erste EP "Invert India" zunächst bei dem Hamburger Label "Delikatess Tonträger". Nachdem das Label konkurs anmelden musste, gründete die Band kurzerhand ihr eigenes Label namens "Two Peace Signs". Über dieses veröffentlichten sie die gleichnamige EP "Two Peace Signs".
Ihr erstes Album "Leoniden" bedeutete auch ihren deutschlandweiten Durchbruch, wodurch auch eine Kooperation mit "Landstreicher Booking" entstand, wo unter anderem auch Kraftklub und K.I.Z. unter Vertrag stehen.

Leoniden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
has someone noticed my tired face?
i guess it's just a matter of time
yes i'm offensive
and i won't listen to anyone right now…
a glimpse of a moment
i thought you would lift your back
from the throne of the ego-castle my friend
and from now on i'm another whole year in the same position
yes, i'm going to freak out and i still won't listen to you
is there something relevant for you?
a glimpse of a moment
i thought you would lift your back
from the throne of ego-castle, my friend
i'm taking the big bow once again
i called your mom,
she said your name for the first time
if you get in my way,
i'll get in your way
and we block each other forever
when rolling stones collide…
is there something relevant for you?
is there something important
that glues on the back of your head right now?
The song Constant by Leoniden explores the frustration of feeling stuck in a cyclical pattern and the human tendency to hold onto our egos as a way of maintaining control - even at the cost of our connections with others. The singer lists all the things they have done to tidy up their life, but wonders if anyone has taken notice of their tired face. They admit to being offensive and unwilling to listen to others, feeling as though they are in the same position year after year. Yet, they hold out hope that someone will lift themselves off their throne of ego and see the singer for who they are beyond the surface.
The chorus conveys a sense of desperation as the singer takes a big bow, acknowledging that they are trapped in this cycle and will continue to act out unless something changes. The bridge adds a surprising twist, mentioning that they called the other person's mom and heard their name for the first time. This adds a layer of vulnerability to the song, suggesting that beneath the bravado and ego lies a real desire for connection with someone else.
There is a sense of frustration throughout the entire song, as the singer both resists and yearns for change. While they acknowledge that blocking each other will lead to a never-ending cycle, there is still a resistance to truly letting go of control and listening to what others have to say. Overall, the lyrics capture the messy, complicated nature of human relationships and the struggle to break free from negative patterns.

Wunderschöner Text, wunderschöner Song! Ich habe nicht gedacht, dass jemand die wunderschöne, spezielle Art des Ex-Sängers singen kann. Aber ihr habt euch einen würdevollen Nachfolger ausgesucht. Kompliment an die Band :) Und natürlich den neuen Sänger!
