… Read Full Bio ↴we.own.the.sky is an instrumental rock/metal band from Athens, Greece.
They were formed in 2010, and while they started out as a band following in the footsteps of the greats of the post-rock genre, they slowly found their own unique voice. Their target has always been to bring together different elements from various sub-genres, whether it be ambient soundscapes or walls of distorted guitars, all in the form of beautifully crafted, melody-driven instrumental songs.
They self-released their debut EP, entitled "The Glass/Nails EP", back in 2013 which was met with great critical appraise in international underground circles. It also helped in getting them the support slot in the greek shows of some of the world's finest post-rock acts, including the likes of Caspian, Long Distance Calling and Tides From Nebula.
"Earths Collide" is the band's first full-length album. Recorded at Unreal Studioz in Athens and mastered at Fascination Street in Sweden by the legendary Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Leprous etc.), "Earths Collide" finds we.own.the.sky further expanding their musical palette; from faster-paced drumming to the use of acoustic guitar and electronic beats, this album is the next logical step for a band that seeks constant evolution, ignoring any restraints posed by music norms and genres. "Earths Collide" will be available digitally November 6, 2015, with a physical release following in early 2016.
"The Glass/Nails EP , with its 6 tracks, takes the listener on an emotional ride for the variety of emotions that is able to provoke and it’s really a must listen for post rock enthusiasts." - Echoes and Dust
"This effort should be way more on the radar then it is"..."I can’t imagine a better execution for these pieces of music. Being into the kinds of music we review and support here, and not listening to this album is tantamount to passive masochism. Indulge and be rewarded." - Post-Rock Star

Heavy Heart
we.own.the.sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I'm walking away from you
I can feel the beat of the night in my chest
I feel like I'm a galaxy away from you
Yeah, I'm losing myself
Talking to myself in the dark
When my body starts to work like a machine
You make my heavy metal heart beat, beat, oh
Oh, yeah my heavy metal heart, heart, heart, oh
Oh man, you make me feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart
My heavy metal heartbeat, oh, oh
Oh, my heavy metal heart
I can see a vision that's meant to be mine
Slowly turning away from you
I can see it all standing on top of time
Yeah, there's only one thing for me left to lose
I love losing myself
Talking to myself in the dark
When my body starts to work like a machine
I can feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart
You make my heavy metal heart beat, beat, oh
Oh, yeah my heavy metal heart, heart, heart, oh
Oh man, you make me feel the pulse of my heavy metal heart
My heavy metal heartbeat, oh, oh
Oh, my heavy metal heart
You turned my red to black
I'm never coming back
The way I was before
I'm not her anymore
Anymore
Anymore
You make my heavy metal heart beat
My heavy metal heart
Yeah, my heavy metal heart beat
My heavy metal heart
Yeah, my heavy metal heart
My heavy metal heart
Yeah, my heavy metal heart
Yeah, my heavy metal heart
My heavy metal heart
The lyrics of "Heavy Heart" by we.own.the.sky depict a sense of distance and disconnection from someone or something. The opening lines express the physical and emotional separation the singer feels, as they walk away from someone and feel like they are in a different world or dimension. This highlights the feeling of isolation and being lost within oneself.
The chorus suggests that the singer finds solace in being alone and in their own thoughts. They mention speaking to themselves in the dark, which implies a deep introspection. The reference to their body working like a machine suggests a detachment from their emotions and a numbness that comes with it. The heavy metal heart symbolizes a hardened and resilient state of being, possibly as a result of the emotional pain experienced.
The second verse continues the theme of distancing oneself from someone or something, with the singer envisioning a future where they are turning away from the person or situation. They express a resignation, acknowledging that there is only one thing left to lose, possibly implying that they have already lost so much that there is nothing more to hold onto.
The bridge delves deeper into the impact this separation has had on the singer. The person they were before has transformed, and they have accepted that there is no going back to who they were. The metaphor of turning their red to black suggests a loss of vibrancy and passion, replacing it with darkness and emptiness. The repetition of "anymore" emphasizes the finality and permanence of this transformation.
The final repetition of "You make my heavy metal heart beat" echoes throughout the song, signifying that despite the pain and disconnection, there is still a lingering connection and influence the other person has over the singer. The heavy metal heart remains a symbol of resilience and strength, as if the singer's heart is pumping harder to keep them going even in the face of adversity.
Overall, "Heavy Heart" explores the emotions of separation, introspection, and transformation in the face of loss. It conveys a sense of longing, conflict, and acceptance, while also highlighting the resilience of the human spirit.
