Night fades in golden blades...

The Golden Blades are a four-piece band from Upper Austria. If you had to open a stylistic drawer, you would find them in the indie pop genre, although their music is multi-layered and influences from many musical backgrounds can be found. If you look for a comparison, you will probably hear echoes of Muse, Bloc Party, Blondie or (… anything else?). The Golden Blades stand for songs that had been worked out down to the last detail and are really catchy. Their motto: The joy of creativity is at the very centre as well as emotion. The band’s live concept is not only perfectly dramaturgically versatile due to its musical range, but also visually appealing.

Lyrics

night falls across the sunken land
the tears that we shed dried up quickly
roaming the streets that we’ve lost
dancing the pavement lightly footed

my heart’s awakening from all the sleep that I have put on it
wake and shake tomorrow then I know just what was missing here

night fades in golden blades
the dark growls down silver lakes
depths of black older than stars
creep up in pairs and get behind me

dancing on moment’s tender wings
allowing what’s buried under control
the night brings the best and worst of me
it’s there ‚cause it’s meant to be felt here

my heart’s awakening from all the sleep that I have put on it
wake and shake tomorrow then I know just what was missing here

night fades in golden blades
the dark growls down silver lakes
depths of black older than stars
creep up in pairs and get behind me

fear the open road
don’t know where it goes
will you find
what’s beyond

trapped in infinte loops
can I really choose
or do I just
gaze at shadows

the wind is changing
and they’d feel it
but they don’t know how to cope
so they decide to stay numb and just carry on

clocks ticking in time
poets try to find perfect rhymes
and the coward
counts his coins

selling our time and our brains
and the blood that runs in our veins
longs for more than we’ll see

live a little life and don’t say
what you
live a little life and don’t say a word
live a little life and don’t say
what you heard

the wind is changing
and they’d feel it
but they don’t know how to cope
so they decide to stay numb and just carry on

see how I feel inside
attached to a mirror of fright
gazing at
my reflection

try to wipe away
the ice that covers the lake
I must see
what’s there deep down

live a little life and don’t say
what you
live a little life and don’t say a word
live a little life and don’t say
what you heard

scratch the surface of deeper meaning

the wind is changing
and they’d feel it
but they don’t know how to cope
so they decide to stay numb and just carry on

heavens shine we are far
be my friend rather not
but we’re on the same side

love is cruel so are you
better dance I will too
you need a better shape of mind

and then I feel overwhelmed by your scars

prayers come easy my friend
I will loose in the end
you’ve got no reason

friendly faces come by
try to shine it’s so hard
get yourself together now

and then I feel overwhelmed by my scars

you can’t run nor you can hide
even if the sun ain’t bright
golden rays they’ll lift your lids
come on raise your head you don’t need no reason

life has taught me oh crap
I will step in that trap
that is so clichè

if you heard what you say
you sound like an ahstray
dust yourself off and stand up

and then I feel overwhelmed by our scars

you can’t run nor you can hide
even if the sun ain’t bright
golden rays they’ll lift your lids
come on raise your head you don’t need no reason

did you think i could never mess with you 

now you know i don’t owe you anything 

hey hey

hey hey

 

and you’re struck by my electricity 

that i’ve gained from abandoning toxicity 

hey hey

hey hey

 

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you did you did you know it did you know it, did you?

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you ah did you, ah did you did you did you know it

 

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you did you did you know it did you know it, did you?

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you ah did you, ah did you did you did you know it?

 

look after your energy, ‚cause that is what makes you vibrant.

 

some will say „gosh she pretty radical“ 

then i say „yeah, i hate radicchio!“ 

hey hey

hey hey

 

but seriously i’m working on impatience 

so that i can keep on being gracious 

hey hey

hey hey

 

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you did you did you know it did you know it, did you?

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you ah did you, ah did you did you did you know it?

 

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you did you did you know it did you know it, did you?

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

did you ah did you, ah did you did you did you know it?

 

come on did you know it?

did you did you did you did you, come on, come on, come on did you know it?

 

around the world 

let it turn
and hair got burnt
at the ends of nowhere
 
way out of time 
he ran by 
and they all seem shy
till she let ‚em in
 
don’t know where to look 
don’t know where to run
don’t know where to put your hat and
you are out of breath
 
come to the greatest show of all 
in town
 
fever dreams 
in the scenes with
the fresh cut greens 
in your grandma’s garden
 
she made cake
of the snake
uncle frank did take
when he went way up north
 
don’t know where to look 
don’t know where to run
don’t know where to put your shoes and
you are out of breath
 
come to the greatest show of all 
in town
 
eat this 
eat this 
eat this 
 
are you scared?
i’ll tell you how the story ends
 
the mayor said
no more bread
in the garden shed
when they would wear the pink shirts 
 
but you’re a rebel 
throw a pebble
on the the devil 
that came through your backyard door
 
don’t know where to look 
don’t know where to run
don’t know where to put your clothes and
you are out of breath
 
come to the greatest show of all 
in town
 
own the chase
speak with grace
in your own birthplace
or they will all neglect you
 
people’s talk 
is so cheap 
but you think it’s deep
cause you let them in
 
come to the greatest show of all 
in town
 
eat this 
eat this 
eat this 
 
are you scared?
i’ll tell you how the story ends
 
eat this
eat this 
eat this 
never tell you how the story ends
