The band first appeared under the name THE DISASTER AREA in 2012 and their musical goal that was outlined with the debut ‘Sell Your Soul’ (Deafground Records) in 2016. In 2018 the band made some of the biggest steps in their career by signing to REDFIELD RECORDS and releasing their acclaimed second album “Alpha//Omega” in November of the same year. Sold out release shows as well as more than 2,000,000 streams of the album are only some of the successes that should be mentioned.
In December 2019, THE DISASTER AREA supported ESKIMO CALLBOY on their career’s biggest run of shows through 15 European cities, attended by more than 20,000 people. Right after that, in January 2020, THE DISASTER AREA took the role of the main support on TO THE RATS AND WOLVES’ farewell tour throughout Germany.
What THE DISASTER AREA defines, aside from their music, is the close relationship to their fans and that both sides take part in each other’s lives. Theis latest single ‘Glasshearts’, produced by Romesh Dodangoda who was also responsible for BRING ME THE HORIZON’s latest album, is a declaration of love by THE DISASTER AREA to their fans and presents the band’s new musical approach. Metalcore mixes with electronic elements and surprisingly matured alternative rock.

Moments
The Disaster Area Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
follows my walk into the unknown
Every promise I made, shelters I take
All of that turns into cold stone
Time heals it all
Are the words I hear, in every Moment I fear
Time heals it all
Take your head up into the sky
Is that all you can see, all you're able to tell me
Walk on and don't look back on me
Ignore the path I take, the wrong footsteps I create
Time heals it all the good things remain
but in the long run they bring me to fall
I remember things I've said
and my unspoken thoughts
Try to purge every moment I failed
shelling like glasses on the wall
Once upon a time
These moments will turn good I'll try
The shadows will leave
Until there's only clean air to breath
My inner flame
is burning down like a candle in the rain
My inner flame
won't catch fire, it won't light up again
Where is my cure?
rehab for my broken soul
I won't leave myself behind
You see me different?
You see me blind?
In "Moments," The Disaster Area explores the themes of personal growth, self-reflection, and the struggle to overcome past mistakes and disappointments. The lyrics convey a sense of despair and longing for a fresh start, as the singer navigates the unknown and confronts their inner demons.
The opening lines, "The fall covers the sun, follows my walk into the unknown," suggest a journey into unfamiliar territory, where the singer is confronted with the consequences of their actions. They reflect on the promises they made and the shelters they sought, but ultimately these choices have turned into cold, unchanging realities. The phrase "Time heals it all, but in the long run they bring me to fall" implies that despite the cliché notion that time can heal wounds, the weight of past mistakes eventually catches up with them.
The chorus captures the conflicting emotions of hope and fear: "Time heals it all, are the words I hear, in every moment, I fear. Time heals it all, can show me the way, which is the best for me." The singer is unsure if time will truly heal their wounds or guide them towards the right path. They yearn for direction and reassurance, seeking solace in the sky and questioning whether they are capable of moving forward without looking back.
The verses delve deeper into the internal struggle, as the singer grapples with memories and unspoken thoughts. They attempt to purge the moments in which they failed, feeling exposed and vulnerable like "glasses on the wall." The lines "Once upon a time, these moments will turn good, I'll try. The shadows will leave until there's only clean air to breathe" depict a glimmer of hope, suggesting that with perseverance, the darkness can dissipate, leaving room for growth and renewal.
The final lines convey a plea for a solution or a cure for the singer's broken soul: "Where is my cure? Rehab for my broken soul. I won't leave myself behind. You see me different? You see me blind?" Here, they question whether others perceive them differently, possibly in a judgmental or unsupportive way.
Overall, "Moments" speaks to the universal struggle of coming to terms with one's past, seeking redemption, and ultimately finding the strength to move forward despite the weight of the past.

The fall covers the sun
The darkness and despair overwhelm any trace of hope or positivity
follows my walk into the unknown
As I venture into unfamiliar territory, the sense of uncertainty looms over me
Every promise I made, shelters I take
The commitments I've made and the protection I seek provide temporary comfort
All of that turns into cold stone
However, this security eventually becomes stagnant and unfeeling
Time heals it all
People say that with time, wounds and pain will be alleviated
Are the words I hear, in every Moment I fear
These words echo in my mind during moments of anxiety and apprehension
Time heals it all
The passage of time can offer guidance and a resolution that suits me best
Can show me the way, which is the best for me
It can lead me towards the path that will truly benefit me
Take your head up into the sky
Look beyond your immediate surroundings and expand your perspective
Is that all you can see, all you're able to tell me
Is your perception limited to only what is visible and superficial?
Walk on and don't look back on me
Continue your journey without dwelling on my presence or actions
Ignore the path I take, the wrong footsteps I create
Disregard the choices I make and the mistakes I commit
Time heals it all the good things remain
Over time, positive aspects persist while negative experiences fade away
but in the long run they bring me to fall
However, in the grand scheme of things, these positives ultimately lead to my downfall
I remember things I've said
I recall the words I've spoken in the past
and my unspoken thoughts
As well as the thoughts and emotions I never expressed
Try to purge every moment I failed
I attempt to rid myself of every instance where I fell short
shelling like glasses on the wall
These memories and failures stand like fragile pieces of glass on display
Once upon a time
At some point in the past
These moments will turn good I'll try
I hope that these challenging moments will eventually take a positive turn
The shadows will leave
The darkness and negativity will dissipate
Until there's only clean air to breath
Leaving behind a fresh and rejuvenating atmosphere
My inner flame
The passion and vitality within me
is burning down like a candle in the rain
Slowly diminishing and fading away amidst difficult circumstances
My inner flame
That same fire within me
won't catch fire, it won't light up again
Struggling to ignite and shine brightly once more
Where is my cure?
I search for a remedy or solution
rehab for my broken soul
A means to heal and restore my shattered spirit
I won't leave myself behind
I refuse to abandon who I truly am
You see me different?
Do you perceive me in a changed light?
You see me blind?
Or are you unable to recognize my true self?
