mecopp Don't eat popcorn while listening - it might get stuck in your throat. Don't drink wine while listening - you'll regret after listening to Fäschmol. Don't think this sounds like a lullaby - you will be wide awake in the end.
Everything has a double bottom. The movie keeps on spinning without end, the supermarket is empty, the home is lost, you can't leave the cozy party. It's Swiss carnival on end. Favorite track: Weri Be.

Master Of Disguise 02:38
lyrics
buy track
I am the master of disguise No one can beat my high score I am the master of disguise No one will see my face fall But I have to say that I'm tired Of peeling it off every night So I leave it on ‘Til I no longer Know what I'm trying to hide Cause I am the master of disguise No one can beat my high score I am the master of disguise No one will see my face fall Oh I have to say that I'm tired Of putting my Self on the shelf So I have to pray That I will get tired Of shaping my shell to look well And I'm solemnly weary preventing clashes But my backseat driver never lets me down I am the master of disguise No one can beat my high score I am the master of disguise No one will see my face fall

The Movie 03:40
lyrics

You think this is bad? Wait for the second act Main roles are written for morons We're part of the cast But only quietly We think we're innocent extras All lines are mindless ‘Cause bullshit is timeless We are caught up in this movie There will be no happy ending We are caught up in this movie Running out of time to mend things Who wrote this crap? I want my money back We create Razzie material It will get worse Memorials don't exist We just let the power roll on All lines are mindless 'Cause bullshit stays timeless We are caught up in this movie There will be no happy ending We are caught up in this movie Running out of time to mend things We are caught up in this movie We are captured in the spotlight We are caught up in this movie And we've missed the chance to rewind The catering is moldy, the producer resigned No script, no rules, all directors have died Extras, extras: "Just act along with the mass" We're just extras We are caught up in this movie There will be no happy ending We are caught up in this movie Running out of time to mend things We are caught up in this movie We are captured in the spotlight We are caught up in this movie And we've missed the chance to rewind

Garden 04:05

How old am I When I go back When I go back to when I was okay A mucky pup But clean and pure Just waiting for her signal call Please hold on I think there are things I used to know Don't let go I'll follow into the deep unknown Take me into your garden Allow me to feel some love Take me with all of my doubts and please show me How to let them go Then the rain will fall Just to let me feel How the sun can banish the soddenness Take me into your garden Allow me to feel some love I take my hand My little hand And follow myself up along the path She knows what's right I know it's right And finally, I see myself at last A little girl So clean and pure She's waited for my visit all my life So I go back Go back in time I am okay Please hold on I think there are things I used to know Don't let go I'll follow into the deep unknown Take me into your garden Allow me to feel some love Take me with all of my doubts and please show me How to let them go And the rain will fall Just to let me feel How the sun can banish all soddenness Take me into your garden Allow me to feel some love Feel Feel Feel Feel Show me how to feel again Feel again and find your longing arms How to feel again Feel again and hold you in my arms

Spinning 03:49
lyrics

You scroll through your life To build yourself some status Another year died And yet there’s no improvement We disguise our sorrows In fabrics we never payed Just to hide our failing In our privileged rage Tell me how is the world’s still spinning Doesn’t it know that its balance dropped Ahah Ahahhh Ahah Ahahhh You don’t trust the news You don’t waste your precious time But yesterday noon The future did arrive We have murdered tomorrow And got us an alibi Just to hide our failings In these privileged lies Tell me how is the world’s still spinning Doesn’t it know that its balance dropped Tell me how is the world still grinning Doesn’t it know that it’s balance is lost Ahah Ahahhh Ahah Ahahhh Ahah Ahahhh Ahah Ahahhh

You're all alone Rolling on You're searching on for that honey-pops Bargain offer They are all gone You're all alone You push your trolley straight on to the Checkout counter Old home And its bitter symphony You're on your own Stumbling on You're piling your groceries up to a Heap of habits Old home In a distant memory Old home And its bitter symphony Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh You're all alone You are that kid that has lost its mom In the market Searching, lonely

Called In Advance 05:10

Bittersweet catastrophe You once were here before We forgot what you were like And how to treat you right If you’d given a sign I would have arranged Something special If you’d mentioned yourself We would have arranged Your arrival Oh if only you had called in advance I’d have made up my bed for you And cleaned up my inner mess Oh if only you had called in advance We would have been prepared and so We'd be all right Now our time is fading fast We’re melting in your hands Nobody expected that Extinction’d come so fast Tell me what is our plan? How long will we last Or are we abandoned Tell me what is your plan? And why did you show up with no answers? Oh if only you had called in advance I’d have made up my bed for you And cleaned up my inner mess Oh if only you had called in advance We could have been prepared and so We'd be all right Oh if only you had called in advance I’d have made up my bed for you and cleaned up my inner mess Oh if only you had called in advance We would have been prepared and so We'd be all right

about

Grab a large bag of popcorn, lean back, and enjoy To Athena's second album "The Movie." The songs, in both, Swiss dialect and English, sway between the inner mind and the enormous powerlessness in the current global events. But don't worry, the whole thing is seasoned with a generous amount of irony and cynicism, which gently yet urgently convey a contemplation of our own role in this absurd film we're currently entwined with in our world.
 
Live, To Athena embarks on a tour with their 9-member pop orchestra featuring the visual album "THE MOVIE," inviting you to indulge in an audiovisual reality check.

about

To Athena image

To Athena Lucerne, Switzerland

Chamber pop, melancholy, lyrics that directly reflect, that hurt. To Athena allows introspective and fragile gems in Swiss German to exist alongside sparkling and cinematic pop in English on one and the same stage. The intensity is often found in the small and fragile. In the lyrics that reach out into the dark, but always allow for the light. Fragility, strength and the sounds in between. ... more
