#1 Die Einflüsse aus dem TripHop der 90er sind bei Vanda nicht zu überhören. Man mag bei den Songs an Größen wie Portishead denken und doch machen Vanda vieles anders. Entstauben den alten Jungen TripHop und befreien ihn von seiner Schwere. Leichter, sanfter schnurpst es bei Vanda aus den Lautsprechern. Die Flächen, der urbane Sound bleiben. Lieder, die nach einem Nachmittag auf dem Dach eines Wolkenkratzers klingen. Bei denen man unwillkürlich an kühles Herbstlicht und lange Autofahrten denken muss. Gut abgeschmeckt das Ganze und ohne die phantastische Stimme von Sängerin Jenny Ochlich nicht denkbar. Wir jubeln. Und sind schwer überzeugt, dass hier selbst das eine oder andere Raubein verzückt einknickt.
Steve Lyon, Produzent von The Cure, Depeche Mode, etc. sagt über VANDA.: “The guys with the most international sound played by a mid-european band, I've heard for a very long time!"

12 Drinks
Vanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish I could have stayed longer
Felt like another life to me
And still the only thing for comfort
12 drinks at a party
Still on on my feet
Smoked all my cigarettes
Please don't leave
I can't sleep
I don't want this to end
I fade into you
Fade into you
I fade into you
Am I broken now?
I fade into you
Fade into you
I fade into
Don't know why I
12 drinks at a party still on my feet
Smoked all my cigarettes
Please don't leave
Can't even come down
Even sleep
Please don't leave
Sometimes it kills me that I had to change
And that you didn't even try
A little harder to keep me from burning
When I dove into your flames so blind
12 drinks at a party
Still on on my feet
Smoked all my cigarettes
Please don't leave
I can't come down
No relief
I go hard, til the end
I fade into you
Fade into you
I fade into you
Am I broken now?
I fade into you
Fade into you
Fade into you
Don't know why I do
I don't know why I can't let myself feel
It's like I'm afraid of what I will find
Inside myself that I never healed
So I bury it and lie
I'm fine fine fine
Fine fine fine
lie lie lie
Fine fine fine
Lie lie lie
Fine fine fine
Lie lie lie
I fade into you
Fade into you
I fade into you
Am I broken now?
I fade into you
Fade into you
I fade into
Don't know why I
12 drinks at a party still on my feet
Smoked all my cigarettes
Please don't leave
Can't even come down
Even sleep
Please don't leave
In "12 Drinks," Vanda reflects on a dream about the past, longing to stay in that moment a little while longer. The dream represents a different life, one that provided comfort and solace. The repetition of "12 drinks at a party" suggests both a level of indulgence and a coping mechanism, as the singer tries to hold themselves together despite feeling intoxicated and exhausted.
Throughout the song, there is a plea to not be abandoned. The singer's dependency on their partner is evident as they express a fear of coming down from the intoxicated state, unable to sleep without them. The repeated line "I fade into you" signifies a merging of identities, as if losing oneself within the relationship. There is a sense of brokenness, questioning if the singer is now damaged due to their vulnerability and commitment to the relationship.
The song also touches upon the theme of change, regretting that the singer had to change and feeling disappointment that their partner did not put in enough effort to prevent the singer's self-destruction. The line "And that you didn't even try a little harder to keep me from burning when I dove into your flames so blind" showcases a desire for the partner to have been more attentive and supportive.
The last verse delves into the singer's struggle with allowing themselves to feel emotions fully. They bury their unhealed wounds and choose to lie to themselves, pretending they are fine. This self-deception and fear of facing their own emotions highlights an internal conflict within the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
I had a dream about the good old days
I reminisced about the past in a dream
Wish I could have stayed longer
I desired more time in that dream
Felt like another life to me
It seemed like a different existence
And still the only thing for comfort
Yet the sole source of solace
12 drinks at a party
I consumed twelve beverages at a gathering
Still on on my feet
Still upright and functioning
Smoked all my cigarettes
I finished smoking all my cigarettes
Please don't leave
I plead for you not to depart
Cuz I can't come down
Because I am unable to calm down
I can't sleep
I am unable to sleep
I don't want this to end
I do not desire this to conclude
I fade into you
I blend into your being
Am I broken now?
I wonder if I am shattered now
Don't know why I
I am uncertain why I
Can't even come down
Cannot even calm down
Even sleep
Or even sleep
Sometimes it kills me that I had to change
Occasionally, it pains me that I had to transform
And that you didn't even try
And you did not even make an effort
A little harder to keep me from burning
To protect me from being consumed by flames
When I dove into your flames so blind
When I blindly immersed myself in your fiery passion
No relief
No respite from the anguish
I go hard, til the end
I persist with intensity until the conclusion
I don't know why I can't let myself feel
I am unsure why I cannot allow myself to experience emotions
It's like I'm afraid of what I will find
It feels as if I fear the discovery
Inside myself that I never healed
Within myself, the wounds I never mended
So I bury it and lie
Thus, I bury those feelings and deceive
I'm fine fine fine
I falsely claim that I am perfectly fine
Lie lie lie
Deceptive words, lies, lies, lies
Please don't leave
I implore you not to depart
Can't even come down
Cannot even calm down
Even sleep
Or even sleep
