Metal band formed in Rome (IT) in 2008. The
band is composed of five members that started
their career with two Deathcore releases:
"Necropolis" (2011) and "Ashes" (2012). Thanks
to these full-length albums, POA started playing
on the best stages across Italy, along with
well-known bands such as Protest The Hero,
iwrestledabearonce, Texas in July, Vitja, Ade, etc.
In March 2015 the band released "EAS" EP,
with the participation of Tommaso Riccardi and
Veronica Bordacchini from Fleshgod Apocalypse.
After the last EP release the group decided to
make some important changes, starting from
the deathcore influences' reduction in favor
of more melodic ones, which can be found in
their video "Tears" (promoted by Rocksound and
Blubbermouth in March 2016), which can be
considered as a manifesto of the new path started by POA.
In April 2017 the band increased its fanbase
in Italy and all over the Europe thanks to the
publication of the new album "Deeper Than Hell",
the final result of this artistic change.
After their first European Tour, POA released its
new single "Disappear" in April 2018 on every
digital store.
In June 2019, POA released "Midnight" the
main single of their upcoming album "Stay"
The new album has been released in the 7th of
July 2019 in every digital store and it is a real
mixture between metal, rock, synthpop and
electronic and retrowave music.

Plugs of Apocalypse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sea is filled with my faults
I thought it was easy, but too many times
I saw your bones breaking with mine
I guess we have to stop one more time
So one more time, open up the sky and try to fly away
And again and again
It was full of colors but now I'm colorblind
And the rain is starting to turn into ice
Even if it's hard, I will try to destroy the thoughts and the pain that make me feel my void
My chains, the fire in my veins
So one more time, open up the sky and try to fly away
Just one more time, open up the sky and spread your wings again
And again and again
The lyrics of the song "Colorblind" by Plugs of Apocalypse convey a sense of loss, disillusionment, and the struggle to break free from the burdensome shackles of the past. The first line "Now the sand is soft, I'm between the friends we've lost" creates a sense of melancholy and isolation, as the singer finds themselves in the midst of the memories of friends who are no longer present. The next line "And the sea is filled with my faults" suggests that the sea is a metaphor for the singer's own mistakes and regrets, leading them to feel weighed down and powerless.
The second verse speaks about a troubled relationship where the bones of the singer and their partner are breaking together, leading to a realization that they need to stop the destructive cycle they are in. The repetition of the phrase "one more time" in the chorus speaks to the constant struggle of breaking free from the past and starting anew. It's a matter of taking a leap of faith and trying to fly again, despite knowing that the fall can be painful.
The final lines of the song, "It was full of colors but now I'm colorblind, and the rain is starting to turn into ice" show a sense of disillusionment and numbness. The singer is unable to find joy or meaning in life and is gradually descending into a state of despair. However, they still hold on to the hope that they can destroy the negative thoughts and pain that keep them trapped, making way for a new beginning.
