About:
Gradually the lights of the city come to new life, while the random flickering of the large neon sign three blocks away lasts and glances are lost in the distance. The sun slowly descends behind the silhouettes of the skyscrapers, taken over from the approaching night. The orange haze on the horizon is reflected in the windshields of the passing cars, raising the dust, which has been accumulated on the street. Here, between loneliness and hope, at places, no one is supposed to seek, stories, which are able to change lives and guide our being exist. Soaking with melancholia Our Ceasing Voice tells these stories with their mix of hypnotic ambient and epic post-rock outburst and help the listener to catch the memories of long forgotten times, in order to save them from transience.
Amidst the Tyrolean Alps the band was founded in 2006 already, but only with their début 'Steadied Stars in the Morphium Sky EP' they drafted a journey through the mystery of gloom. Based on the upcoming novel by Sebastian Obermeir, Our Ceasing Voice's new 2010 album pursues this concept, while the development to a darker, more dynamic sound is clearly noticeable. Beautiful and saddening at the same time, the Austrians draw attention to fragility, passionately making one's flesh creep and thereby portraying a dramatic story full of yearning and desperation.
How it will end, however, lies only in your hands.
Highway Lights
Our Ceasing Voice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
echoing the fear
along your silent ride
across distant highway lights
it hurts
that you're falling away from me
may stars guard your breath
'til storm's rolling in again
The lyrics to "Highway Lights" by Our Ceasing Voice convey a haunting sense of distance and separation. The phrase "a night to remember" suggests an awareness that this moment will be significant, while "echoing the fear" adds a layer of apprehension to the experience. The image of the "silent ride" and the "distant highway lights" both emphasize the idea of a journey – but a journey that necessarily creates distance between the singer and the person they're addressing. This distance is underlined by the stark pain of the line "it hurts / that you're falling away from me." However, the sentiment is not one of anger or blame; instead, the singer expresses a sense of loss, of sadness and resignation. The final lines of the song suggest a hope for protection - may the stars guard your breath - while acknowledging that the storm will still come eventually, bringing with it the same distance and separation that is present throughout the song.
Overall, "Highway Lights" is a beautifully written and evocative song that uses rich imagery to convey a sense of unease and distance. The lyrics are full of poignant phrases that stick with the listener, lending the song a sense of resonance that is hard to forget.

a night to remember
An unforgettable experience
echoing the fear
The sound of the fear is reverberating
along your silent ride
During your quiet trip
across distant highway lights
Over the faraway lights on the road
it hurts
It causes emotional pain
that you're falling away from me
You're drifting apart from me
may stars guard your breath
The hope that the universe will protect you
'til storm's rolling in again
Until chaos and trouble return
