Skywalker was founded in the summer of 2010. In the same year, the guys recorded their first EP "Hic Sunt Leones" that came out before
their first show in December 2010. It was not received very well, unlike their live sets since January 2011. In the summer of 2011, the
second EP "Arkham" came out that was received much better in the Czech hardcore/metalcore scene. The band set off for a club tour
that year, playing in many Czech cities, and even plays a counple of shows in Slovakia. In 2012, the band continues to play shows, even gets
to Germany. Nearing the end of the year, the third EP "Babylon" is released. It is somewhat a breakthrough for the band - both thanks to the
sound of the EP that combines hardcore with classic 90's punk rock and some hip-hop elements, and the success - many reviewers
and fans within the Czech/Slovak scene consider it to be one of the best pieces ever to come out of domestic hardcore music. Aside from
playing in clubs, the band plays numerous summer festivals, goes on tour to Slovakia and Austria, in September 2013 even to Canada.
Skywalker has shared the stage with names like: For the Fallen Dreams, First Blood,
Defeater, Pay No Respect, Till We Drop, As Enemies Arise, Abhorrence, No Second Chance, Point Blank Range and many more.

Ignis
Skywalker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say, can I keep this up
Rushing to and fro, to the furthest reaches of my own misery keeps me company
I'd rather go it alone
I never did what was expected of me 'cause I can't see what everyone wants me to see
And I've been walking this path through thick and thin with this pitch
Black darkness trapped within

I can see my demons, they never stay

And every time I reach out they turn away
So we keep on playing this little game of our narrow escapes
Cause I can see their eyes and they're watching me, leading me away from reality
Echoes of the whispers in the night speak in tongues I can't translate

So if I ever wish that I could turn this pitch black
Into an understanding of what it means to be lonely
The one and only, I'll swallow this truth in gulps
I hope I can keep this up, rushing to and fro, in this never-ending game
Tell me truthfully can this misery fade away

So tell me, can this misery fade away

Line by Line Meaning

Say, can I keep this up
I wonder if I can continue living like this

Rushing to and fro, to the furthest reaches of my own misery keeps me company
I find comfort in endlessly running away from my own pain

I'd rather go it alone
I prefer to face my struggles without relying on others

I never did what was expected of me 'cause I can't see what everyone wants me to see
I don't conform to societal norms because I don't understand or agree with them

And I've been walking this path through thick and thin with this pitch
I've been navigating through life's challenges with this heavy burden on my shoulders

Black darkness trapped within
My inner demons are consuming me

I can see my demons, they never stay
My struggles are always present, never gone for long

And every time I reach out they turn away
When I seek help, my struggles refuse to leave

So we keep on playing this little game of our narrow escapes
I keep trying to escape my pain but it always catches up to me

Cause I can see their eyes and they're watching me, leading me away from reality
My demons are constantly manipulating me and leading me astray

Echoes of the whispers in the night speak in tongues I can't translate
The voices in my head are confusing and I can't fully understand them

So if I ever wish that I could turn this pitch black
If I ever hope to overcome my inner demons

Into an understanding of what it means to be lonely
To gain insight into the true nature of my pain and isolation

The one and only, I'll swallow this truth in gulps
I must face my reality head on, in small doses

I hope I can keep this up, rushing to and fro, in this never-ending game
I hope to keep pushing forward despite the constant struggles

Tell me truthfully can this misery fade away
Can I ever truly overcome my pain and suffering?
