We donβt need a review from a magazine or judgment from a bystander on how we sound and what they think. Instead, we want people to feel. This isnβt a band, this isnβt a project, this is just two boys with the combined age of 33.
We ask only one thing,
Please donβt think of us as an attempt to mix metal guitar riffs on an acoustic with edgy vocals, or even an attempt to stick two fingers up to the indie scene (well almost). What we are trying to do is define music on a new level, fusing what music is with what we feel are poems. We are simply trying to bring back to life, what music once was.
Imagine everything you have ever wanted, add a fire fuelled by the poison that has flooded the music industry, throw in the fact that there are people against what we do⦠And you have the reason we write these songs, and will never stop.
This is not for fame or for money. This is to show the people who have ten times the talent we will ever have, that by believing in themselves, they donβt need to rely on people that will take away everything that they are, just for money.
We love you all so much, Thank you for supporting us this far. The journey has just begun and there is only one way to go.
With all we are,
One Way to Kansas
(Jean-Paul-18, Rhys- 15)
Closure
One way to Kansas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we forgot about tonight,
Too many drinks and not enough laughs,
The chain on my wrist still reminds,
Two songs down and encounting,
Two songs down and encounting.
Starting to smile,
Everything feels so damn right again,
Mayby its me,
But im in denial,
Less than three,
Is stuck in my mind again,
Starting,
Lying,
Hurting,
Flying,
Breaking,
Loving me once again.
And your Kissing,
Touching,
Breathing,
Grinding,
Is this a means a means to end,
Stay with this moment tonight,
If you say its emo i'll fight you,
Cos this loves worth a punch in the eye,
From the type of men that i still look up too,
Thinking about this coming Tuesday,
Thinking about this coming Tuesday,
Clenching my fists,
Starting to smile,
Sitting back at these same steps again,
The street lamp i miss,
The thought that your mine,
I insist,
That you walk away again,
Starting,
Lying,
Hurting,
Flying,
Breaking,
Loving me once again.
And your Kissing,
Touching,
Breathing,
Grinding,
Is this a means a means to end,
And this Tuesday,
Will i be there smiling,
Or will i deny,
And sit there crying,
Thinking tonight wouldnt end,
And this Tuesday,
Will i be there smiling,
Or will i deny,
And sit there crying,
Thinking tonight wouldnt end
The song "Closure" by One way to Kansas is a reflective piece that explores the tensions between the desire to remain in a moment of intense emotional connection and the need for closure. The opening lines introduce the possibility of forgetting the night, hinting at the complexity of the emotional interaction that is being described. It is evident that the singer has had too much to drink and is searching for deeper meaning and connection.
The repetition of the phrase "Two songs down and encounter" implies that the time is passing too quickly, and the singer is struggling to hold onto the moment. The song's chorus describes the singer's conflicting emotions, with "clenching my fists, starting to smile" indicating a certain level of tension and uncertainty. This is echoed in the lines "Maybe it's me, but I'm in denial/Less than three is stuck in my mind again." The singer is simultaneously trying to rationalize their feelings while also recognizing the power of the emotional pull they feel.
The second verse is more introspective than the first, with lines like "Breaking, loving me once again" suggesting that the singer is grappling with their own emotional baggage. The repetition of "and your kissing, touching, breathing, grinding" is a further indication of the intensity of the moment. The song concludes with the singer reflecting on the upcoming Tuesday, wondering if they will be able to maintain the emotional connection or if they will find themselves alone and crying.

We've listened to two songs so far and we're keeping track

That you walk away again,
That you leave me again
And this Tuesday,
Next Tuesday
Will i be there smiling,
Will I be there, smiling?
Or will i deny,
Or will I refuse to accept it?
And sit there crying,
And cry there in sadness?
Thinking tonight wouldnt end,
Wishing this night wouldn't end
