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 ↴
I lose my, myself a million times
Oh, myself a million times, where am I?
And I thought my thoughts, I think a lot
Oh gosh, oh gosh It's not enough
I had a hole in the middle, a storm in my head, where am I?
I really don't know where to go
know, I really don't know where to go, oh
I don't get you people
I keep staring through the window
I don't get you people
And I, don't know what I could have,
I don't know what I could have done
And I've seen you through the glasses passing by, like all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances, yeah
I doubt my way, I doubt my mind
I doubt my, myself a thousand times
But on the other hand, I guess it's all up to you
But on the other hand, it's up to you, oh
I keep staring through the window
I don't get you people
I keep staring through the window
I don't get you people
People
People
Ah, looking at the people
I don't know what I have,
I don't know what I could have done
And I've seen you through the glasses passing by, like all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances
I don't know what I have,
I don't know what I could have done
And I've seen you through the glasses passing by, like all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances
Goodbye to all my chances
The lyrics of Leoniden's song "People" represent an individual's struggle with their identity and belonging. The line "I lose my way, I lose my mind" signifies how the person is lost and unsure of themselves, while "I had a hole in the middle, a storm in my head" represents the turmoil within their mind. The repetition of "where am I?" emphasizes their confusion.
The second verse contains the line "And I, don't know what I could have, I don't know what I could have done," suggesting that the person is also struggling with regrets and missed opportunities. However, they also express doubt about themselves, saying "I doubt my way, I doubt my mind, I doubt myself a thousand times." The line "But on the other hand, I guess it's all up to you" suggests that they are aware that they may not have control over their situation, and it's all up to fate or external factors.
The chorus, "I keep staring through the window, I don't get you people," highlights the person's feelings of isolation and disconnect from society. They feel like an outsider looking in and struggle to understand the people around them.
Overall, "People" explores the struggle of finding one's place in the world, battling with doubts, regrets, and confusion, and feeling disconnected from others.
Line by Line Meaning
I lose my way, I lose my mind
I feel lost and confused, like I don't know where I'm headed or what I'm thinking
I lose my, myself a million times
I feel like I'm constantly losing touch with who I am and what I believe in
Oh, myself a million times, where am I?
I'm so lost and disconnected from myself that I don't even know where I am in my own mind
And I thought my thoughts, I think a lot
I spend a lot of time thinking and reflecting on my life and my choices
Oh gosh, oh gosh It's not enough
But no matter how much I think, it never seems to be enough to really understand things
I had a hole in the middle, a storm in my head, where am I?
There's a big empty space inside me that I can't seem to fill, and my thoughts are like a turbulent storm that I can't control
I really don't know where to go
I feel lost and directionless, like I don't know where to turn or what to do next
know, I really don't know where to go, oh
No matter how hard I think or try to figure things out, I still don't have any answers
I keep staring through the window
I spend a lot of time looking out into the world, trying to make sense of things
I don't get you people
But no matter how much I observe or try to understand others, I always feel like I'm missing something
And I, don't know what I could have,
I'm plagued by regret and uncertainty about past choices and missed opportunities
I don't know what I could have done
I wish I could go back in time and do things differently, but I know I can't
And I've seen you through the glasses passing by, like all my chances
I feel like I've missed out on a lot of opportunities, and that they pass me by like strangers on the street
Goodbye to all my chances
I mourn the missed possibilities in my life, and feel like my future is already written
I doubt my way, I doubt my mind
I'm plagued by doubt and insecurity, and feel like I can't trust my own thoughts or decisions
I doubt my, myself a thousand times
These doubts and insecurities make me question my own identity and sense of self
But on the other hand, I guess it's all up to you
Despite my doubts and confusion, I know that ultimately I'm responsible for my own choices and actions
But on the other hand, it's up to you, oh
At the same time, I feel adrift and unsure, and wish someone could tell me what to do
Ah, looking at the people
Despite my confusion and isolation, I still find myself drawn to other people, and seek to connect with them
Goodbye to all my chances
I keep returning to my sense of regret and missed opportunities, and feel like I'm doomed to repeat my mistakes
Goodbye to all my chances
I feel like I've missed out on too much in life, and that there's no hope for me to change things now
Goodbye to all my chances
I'm resigned to my fate, and feel like my life has already been determined
I don't know what I have,
Despite my doubts and regrets, I also feel uncertain about what I actually do have in my life
I don't know what I could have done
I'm plagued by indecision and uncertainty, and feel like I'll never be able to make the right choices
Goodbye to all my chances
Despite my desire to change things, I feel like it's too late and that I've missed my opportunities

Wow. Ich liebe die Feelgood Indie Playlist auf Spotify und das vor allem auch weil ich euch darin gefunden habe. Ich hab wochenlang die Songs darin von euch gefeiert und dann jetzt durch Zufall bemerkt dass ihr eine deutsche Band und auch gar nicht mal so berühmt seid wie ich tatsächlich schon automatisch gedacht habe! Ihr klingt einfach fantastisch und ein Ziel von mir ist definitiv euch mal live zu sehen. Vielen Dank für diese grandiose Musik.
Leoniden
Hammer cool! Freuen uns auf dich bei den Konzerten. 🥰
