Between destinations and among thousands of miles, it took the time to throw unique live performances, compose and record for the three albums it has released until now. -December 2004 – “Nomad Rhymes” -October 2005 – “Anger as a Gift” -December 2007 – “Trend Off”. The band's third album, 'Trend Off', was released on the 10th of December 2007, exactly three years after their first album, “Nomad Rhymes”. This time the team enlarged, as eleven musicians put their hard work into making the music for the album. It was long awaited and very well received by the public. 2009 brings the band back on track for some new events and album planning. The first live appearance of Sorin Erhan, Dominic Csergo and Mani Gutau as Urma band members for this year takes place in Budapest, on the 10th of April, after almost three years since their last one. A set of further surprise live events will take place as a preview of the new album soon to be released this year, “Lost End Found”. No boundaries, maybe that’s what best defines Urma at the moment. Whether it’s 3 or 12 musicians, a hometown or an international city, music happens this year.

Only Human
Urma Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's coming...it's my time to let you hide
Can't keep you trapped inside
It's here now...it's the point of no return
Chasing ghosts....memories...alone

Time would not buy me
Tome cannot heal
Not a chance.

When I awake...I caught sides of my dreams closing doors
So the can keep me and you without need of control
In this silent controversy...

Reflections...colored future in my glass
Blending shadows with my past
It's done now...deal the cards...I'll let you play
Lack of words...describes the day

Time would not buy me
Tome cannot heal
Not a chance

When I awake...I caught sides of my dreams closing doors
So the can keep me and you without need of control
In this silent controversy...

Human...we're only human...just human
No angels falling in my bed at night.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Urma's "Only Human" are quite introspective and thought-provoking. The song starts off by acknowledging that it's time to let go of something, possibly a relationship or a situation that's been holding the singer back. The next line, "Can't keep you trapped inside," suggests that this decision is ultimately for the good of both parties involved. The line "Chasing ghosts...memories...alone" may mean that the singer is still holding on to the past, but is ready to move on from it.

The chorus repeats the idea that time and writing can't heal all wounds, and that there's no chance the situation can be salvaged. The line "I caught sides of my dreams closing doors" is particularly evocative; it suggests that something the singer had hoped for is now disappearing. The next line, "So the can keep me and you without need of control," is a bit more ambiguous, but it could suggest that both parties will be better off if they're not in each other's lives anymore.

The bridge brings up the idea of "reflections" and "shadows," which could symbolize the singer's own past and history. The line "It's done now...deal the cards...I'll let you play" suggests a level of resignation and acceptance; the singer is ready to move on and let the other person make their own decisions. The final line, "No angels falling in my bed at night," brings the focus back to the present moment and suggests that the singer is looking for something more tangible than wishful thinking.
