Brainstorm - 'Crawling' (official lyric video)

Step by step closer than before
You’re on the edge and you can’t ignore
You don't want no compromise
But would you make a sacrifice

Every hour is like a déjà vu
You pay the price for what I want you to do
Inside the shadows of the night
Your life's hiding far out of sight

When your world has slipped away
Heaven and hell will call
I’m leaving you stunned in defeat
Behind a closed door, I say

Can't you see me crawling in
Don’t know where, where to begin
Can't you see me crawling out
I don’t know where I’m falling out

Can't you see me crawling in
Don’t know where, where to begin
Can't you see me crawling out
I don’t know where I’m falling out
(I’m falling out)

Your tears are falling into the rain
(I’m falling out)
It’s so insincere and so insane
(I’m falling out)
Sometimes we forget to see
What is real, what will never be
(I’m falling out)

I lured you in with my words so sweet
(I’m falling out)
Redemption is mine the day I leave
(I’m falling out)
But after all that we've been through
My heart is coming home to you

When your world has slipped away
Heaven and hell will call
I’m leaving you stunned in defeat
Behind a closed door, I say

Can't you see me crawling in (Crawl)
Don’t know where, where to begin
Can't you see me crawling out (Crawl)
I don’t know where I’m falling out

Can't you see me crawling in (Crawl)
Don’t know where, where to begin

Can't you see me crawling out (Crawl)
I don’t know where (don't know where) I’m falling out

(I’m falling out)

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή μετά από μία τετραετία για τους Brainstorm. Ο διάδοχος του album "Wall of Skulls" και 14ος συνολικά full length δίσκος των Γερμανών power metallers τιτλοφορείται "Plague of Rats" και κυκλοφορεί σήμερα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «When it comes to metal "Made in Germany", there is no way to escape Brainstorm. The band will release their new studio album "Plague Of Rats" in early 2025.

The album not only marks another milestone in the band's impressive career, but also represents a return to their Indian theme, which was first taken up on "Soul Temptation" (2003).

"Plague Of Rats" was produced by Seeb Levermann (Orden Ogan, Angus McSix), who helped the band transport the raw energy of their live performances into the studio.

The album cover was created by Gyula Havanczák, who was responsible for the artwork on previous Brainstorm releases.

Andy B. Franck emphasizes: "We only work with people we trust 100 percent. This team gives us the freedom to focus on what's important: the music".»

Παρακολουθούμε το lyric video του τραγουδιού "Crawling", με τον τραγουδιστή Andy B. Franck να μας λέει σχετικά:

«Another single on the album and perhaps the most melodic track on “Plague Of Rats.” ‘Crawling in’ and ‘crawling out’ suggest a feeling of being trapped and a desire for freedom. But what creeps in and where does it creep out? Having your own opinion has become very difficult in our world.

In our society, we’re easily manipulated and lured with nice words to support or accept an opinion. For example, the line ‘I lured you with my sweet words’ is intended to clarify this somewhat. It’s good and important to represent completely contrary opinions sometimes.

This is what today’s world has to endure. We don’t walk upright through a door but crawl through cracks to avoid attracting attention instead. If you don't follow the instructions or - in this case - manipulation, you're out. You fall off the grid and no longer belong. The message? Stand by yourself and your ideals... and don’t move like a skeleton or zombie.»
