2) Penicillin were a German band (based in the town of Kottweiler) rooted in jazz-rock.
Formed in 1971 by Fred Felder (vocals) and Waldemar Ruth (drums), they had changed a lot over the years before their debut recordings. This was down to the fact that the band was often a large metamorphic troupe of up to 12 or 15 musicians, based around a pretty constant core of five, and that they'd experimented with everything from Hörspiel through to classical, combining such elements into their own unique sound.

Penicillin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ひときわ冷たい大地で
止まらない涙 きらめく天使の汗
イラつく過去を映す
悲しいけれど美しい
思想の翼ある「自由」を抱いて
引き金を引こう
眠るわたしを 見守る 不寝の女神
激しい痛みと 飛び散る天使の種
不和と憂欝を誘う
悲しいけれど美しい
夜を愛する「支配者」をあそこへ
閉じ込めよう
なぜ 恐怖と夢と死と生誕とが
頭の中で揺れるの
なぜ こんなに清らかな心だけが
傷つき殺されるの
最期の雨は降り続き
凍える虫ははいまわる
揺りかごから墓場まで
色とりどりの「感情」をあそこへ
閉じ込めよう
なぜ 恐怖と夢と死と生誕とが
頭の中で揺れるの
なぜ こんなに清らかな心だけが
傷つき殺されるの
Oh 世界は涙色に染まる
prison 何も見えない
Oh どこまでこの苦しみは続くの
何も見たくない
The song "Prison" by Penicillin depicts a person who is tired of walking and wants to sleep quietly on the cold ground. The tears that don't stop and the sweat of the shining angel reflect their irritating past. However, they hold onto the thoughts of the wings of "freedom" that are sad but beautiful, and pull the trigger in order to move forward. The person is being watched over by the sleepless goddess as they rest. They believe that everything in this world will go back to the mother nature's arms.
The intense pain and the scattered angels' seeds lure the discord and the depression. However, even though it is sad, it's beautiful. Therefore, the "ruler" who loves the night is willing to be locked away there. The lyrics raise questions about why fear, dreams, life, death, and birth, all shake inside one's head. The soul remains clean, but it's the only thing that is hurt and killed. The person wants to close all their colorful "emotions" from the cradle to the graveyard, prisoning them away.
