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 got lost in a river
Floating with my back up to the sky
And it was all along a river with another side
I've been chasing something in my mind, oh yeah
And it was all along a river with another side
I am sure I have been here before
Something's in the water or in the air
That I inhale that makes me sick
And it was, it was all along a river with another side
Something's in the water or in the air
That I inhale that makes me sick
And it was and it was all along a river with another side
Ooh, ooh
I was so lost and I was alone and I was so lost
But I deserved it anyway, yeah
And it was- (all along a river with another side)
I'm a fool and I'm a fool and I'm a fool for you
And it was all along a river with another side
I have no control
I'm floating to no coast and
I'll be drowning soon
Something's in the water or in the air
That I inhale that makes me sick
And it was, it was all along a river with another side
Something's in the water or in the air
That I inhale that makes me sick
And it was and it was
I got lost in a river
I got lost in a river
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The song "River" by Leoniden is a captivating and metaphorical piece. The lyrics seem to describe a character who is lost and unsure of their path but is drawn to something they are searching for. The river is a symbol of life and the unknown, and the character is floating on it, letting the current take them where it may. With lines like "Something's in the water or in the air, that I inhale that makes me sick," there is a sense of unease and danger lurking around, whether it be a toxic environment or a toxic relationship.
The lyrics also hint at the presence of someone else, perhaps a romantic interest, who may have been by their side before but is no longer there. There is an underlying feeling of sadness and regret, as the character reflects on their mistakes and faults that led them to this point. The chorus repeats the line "I got lost in a river," emphasizing the theme of being lost and trying to find a way. The ending of the song suggests that the character is resigned to their fate, knowing they will soon drown in the river.
Overall, "River" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that uses vivid imagery and metaphor to explore themes of uncertainty, regret, and the journey of life.
Line by Line Meaning
I got lost in a river
I found myself in a confusing, overwhelming situation
Floating with my back up to the sky
I felt helpless and out of control
And it was all along a river with another side
This situation I'm in has another path or outcome
I've been chasing something in my mind, oh yeah
I've been searching for something that I can't quite grasp
I am sure I have been here before
This is a familiar feeling or experience
But you were by my side, boy
I had someone supporting me through it
Something's in the water or in the air
There's something toxic in my environment
That I inhale that makes me sick
It's affecting me physically and mentally
I'm a fool and I'm a fool and I'm a fool for you
I'm blindly following something or someone
I have no control
I don't have power over the situation
I'm floating to no coast and
I'm drifting aimlessly
I'll be drowning soon
I'm losing hope and sinking deeper
I got lost in a river
I'm struggling and it's hard to find my way out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing frustration and despair

@ruslannormetov
Какая же офигенская песня!!! Жаль так мало просмотров. Вы лучшие ❤❤❤
@Julia-nx1ki
Dafür das ihr sooo gute Musik macht bekommt ihr meiner Meinung nach viel zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit
@Leoniden

mal abgesehen davon, dass das lied mehr als geil ist & ich hypted des todes auf das album bin. können wir mal kurz drüber reden, dass djamin der absolute sonnenbrillenkönig ist?!
@MrBozkovCZ
This is the song that actually made me realize, how good your music is. You were a support band for Billy talent, and let me tell you, you were much more energetic, you seemed much more friendlier and to be honest, I believe you were even better than Billy talent themselves.
@elenabirker4517
Kein Mensch auf dieser Erde kann sich vorstellen, wie sehr ich euch und jedes einzelne eurer Lieder liebe!
@Leoniden
