a:m:f was originally founded on march 13th, 2003 nearby Darmstadt by Steve KiAi who had just left his old alternative band Somaside where he sang backings and played bass. He always had ideas that didn't quite fit in an alternative combo and after he had left this band, he began writing more of his own music and performed alone in some local clubs.

After two years of working alone, Steve KiAi finally found joe:riot, who was willing to play a major role in the band. The band's style went in a slightly harder direction on the contrary to older records, with more rock and metal influences and joe:riot, who's working for several well-known bands as graphic artist, even delivered a brand new logo and created look for the bands releases and homepage.

After their album neo.NøiR joe aka jonas:iscariot started his graphical training and got more and more lack of time to work for a:m:f. Finally the last two singles were written and recorded by Steve alone once again.

all:my:faults always distanced themselves from genre Gothic, though their early records are often attached to this.

Since the beginning of 2009, Steve KiAi was back together with one of the old a:m:f members, Danny Seith, in a new project called We Are Guilty to continue the symbiotic work they started many years ago. The music is totally different from all:my:faults and could be classified as Melodic Death Metal.

In the end of 2010 the project We Are Guilty merged with another musical project which perfectly fit all across the board.
So, for now Steve's going to work in this new Band called ALL WILL KNOW and we'll see what time brings. The die isn't yet cast.

Furthermore, Steve played for about 2 years in a regional Band called seven inch bastards, somewhere between hardcore, metal, cider and beer.

Mirrors
all:my:faults Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look through the mirror of reality
A world of happiness and fun between the melancholy
Of trusted loyalty
Inside our hearts there's
A place called home
A place called Earth
A place in our world where no one is alone
Do I have a choice in my life

Could I break the innercircle of blind faith
And if I'm down
Could I rise? And when I'm high distorted signs seem to show me the way of life

What if everything that's around us
What if everything we love and try to live in is falling down
Is falling under ground zero
The beginning of the end
Trust becomes distrust
Love turns to hate
Brotherliness becomes hostility
Remember the history
The circle is closing in time
But if I keep the faith in myself
Could I break its lines?

All darkness of the world
Can't prevent a little candle from shining
And all the winds that hatred brings
Can't blow out the faithful lightning

Through the mirrors of reality
I've seen the hatred of the human being
And it was cruel
It was horrid
All these corpses and I smelled their decay
No church to help no priests were there to pray
For their souls
The world was lost
Because we had forgotten our roots

We had forgotten why we live and now I turn back from the fictive
Anxious

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to all:my:faults' song Mirrors reflect on the duality of life. The first verse explores the contrast between happiness and melancholy, highlighting the importance of trusted loyalty in our lives. The singer acknowledges that we all have a place called home on Earth, and that we are never truly alone. However, the following lines express a feeling of uncertainty and doubt, with questions about whether we have a choice in life. Can we break free from the inner circle of blind faith and rise up when we feel down? The distorted signs when we're feeling high suggest that life is not always clear-cut, and that we must navigate through its complexities.

The second verse takes a darker tone, exploring the idea that everything we love and try to live in may be falling apart. The lines "Trust becomes distrust/Love turns to hate/Brotherliness becomes hostility" show the destruction that can arise when we forget our roots and why we live. The circle is closing in time, but the singer wonders whether they can break its lines by keeping faith in themselves. The third verse uses vivid imagery to depict the cruelty of humanity, with corpses and decay creating a sense of horror. The final lines suggest that the world is lost because we have forgotten why we live, but the singer turns back from the fictive, perhaps suggesting that they are not giving up on life just yet.

Look through the mirror of reality
Open your eyes to the truth of the world

A world of happiness and fun between the melancholy
There is joy amidst the sadness

Of trusted loyalty
Where loyalty is valued

Inside our hearts there's
Deep within us lies

A place called home
A sense of belonging and comfort

A place called Earth
Our home planet

A place in our world where no one is alone
A community where everyone is supported

Do I have a choice in my life
Am I truly in control of my own destiny?

Could I break the innercircle of blind faith
Can I challenge my own beliefs and those of others?

And if I'm down
In times of hardship

Could I rise? And when I'm high distorted signs seem to show me the way of life
Can I find strength to overcome challenges? Even when success distorts my perception of reality?

What if everything that's around us
What if our world is not as stable as we thought?

What if everything we love and try to live in is falling down
What if all we cherish and rely on is crumbling?

Is falling under ground zero
Collapsing to complete destruction

The beginning of the end
A sign of impending disaster

Trust becomes distrust
Confidence becomes suspicion

Love turns to hate
Affection transforms into animosity

Brotherliness becomes hostility
A sense of community turns to aggression

Remember the history
Reflect on past experiences

The circle is closing in time
Events repeat themselves

But if I keep the faith in myself
Believing in oneself

Could I break its lines?
Can I break the cycle?

All darkness of the world
The worst of humanity
