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 ↴
On shaking ground
Is still a house
And it's ours
You found me in the trash
We fell in love with dirty hands
Our friend is dead
And it all comes down to this
You matter to me, I matter to you
We met at the funeral of the world
You matter to me, I matter to you
We met at the funeral of the world
Although we carry our coffins
To bury our hope
We fell in love at the funeral
Of the world
Although we carry our coffins
To bury our hope
We fell in love at the funeral
Of the world
I just wanna say
Thank you
For what you do
You're just being you
When this weight on my shoulders
Gets a hold of me
I get scared
That you don't feel the same
You don't feel the same
You don't feel the same
You don't feel the same
You don't feel the same
But you do feel the same
Although we carry our coffins
To bury our hope
We fell in love at the funeral
Of the world
Although we carry our coffins
To bury our hope
We fell in love at the funeral
Of the world
You matter to me, I matter to you
We met at the funeral of the world
You matter to me, I matter to you
We met at the funeral of the world
The Leoniden's song "Funeral" seems to be a love song that heavily deals with the concepts of mortality, grief and hope. The first stanza acknowledges the shaking of the ground and the instability of a house, yet something is still theirs. It then shifts to addressing a loved one that they found in the trash and fell in love with dirty hands. The last line speaks to their friend's death and everything coming down to it.
The chorus discusses the importance of each other to one another and how they met at the funeral of the world, possibly alluding to the end of the world being the funeral of a previous world. The lines "Although we carry our coffins to bury our hope" in the two stanzas could potentially refer to a loss of hope in the world or in their lives, but somehow they found love amidst the struggle of burying their hope.
The bridge expresses gratitude for the other person and who they are, yet there is also a bit of fear that the person they care for may not feel the same way. However, the repeated line "You don't feel the same" is counteracted by "But you do feel the same" at the end, possibly signifying a feeling of relief or affirmation of the love between them.
Overall, "Funeral" seems to portray a love story in a world that is being buried, where hope and stability are scarce. It shows how love can be found in the midst of chaos and grief, and how it can provide comfort and meaning in an uncertain world.

A shaking house
Even when things seem to be falling apart, there is still a foundation to hold on to
On shaking ground
In this unstable world, nothing is certain
Is still a house
The house may shake, but it still stands
And it's ours
We have something to hold onto and share
You found me in the trash
We came from humble beginnings
We fell in love with dirty hands
Our love was not perfect or clean, but it was real
Our friend is dead
We have experienced loss and pain
And it all comes down to this
Everything we have been through has led us to this moment
You matter to me, I matter to you
Our relationship is significant and reciprocal
We met at the funeral of the world
We found each other in a broken world where hope seemed lost
Although we carry our coffins
We bear the weight of our struggles and failures
To bury our hope
We try to let go of our expectations and dreams
We fell in love at the funeral
Amidst the pain and darkness, we found each other
Of the world
In this broken world
I just wanna say
I need to express these feelings
Thank you
For being there for me and supporting me
For what you do
For all the little things you do that make a big difference
You're just being you
Your authentic self is appreciated and loved
When this weight on my shoulders
When everything feels too heavy and overwhelming
Gets a hold of me
It's hard to shake off
I get scared
I fear losing you and the support you provide
That you don't feel the same
I worry that my feelings are not reciprocated
But you do feel the same
Despite my fears, you do care for me and our relationship
