about

"Verstand" is the second pre-released song from the collaboration EP "Wältuntergang" (VÖ 27.01.23) by Esmeralda Galda and To Athena.
This song deals with depression, its ghosts and being left alone with them.
 
Esmeralda Galda: "Mind: According to the Duden, the ability to understand, form concepts, draw conclusions, judge, think. I don't know much about it, but I know I lost it in a phase of my life - maybe it just hid behind destructive behaviors and ghosts that emerged and emerge from and around me. The song "Verstand" is not exactly a hymn of praise to him, but still the request that he should not say goodbye to me completely. Through the collaboration with To Athena and the trust we have in each other, the song could be finished.

lyrics

Sueche nach Tate und Abentür
Wo mir nöd guet tüend
Du ghörsch es nümme
Bisch scho lang gange
Bisch mer abhande cho

Und alles wasi wet
Isch das woni nöd söt
Alles woni mach
Das mach ich ohni dich
Tanz ide Mitti mit Schatte und Gspenster
Lehn mi us offene Fenster
Stahne ufem Rand und suech nach dir
Verstahsch
Verstand

Voreme zitli bisch verschwunde
Has nöd schlimm gfunde
Han Rundene dreht ime neue Gwand
Bi mer abhande cho

Du hesch mich verlah
Hesch mich nöd welle hebe
Das chani verstah
Und ohni dich lebe gaht ringer
Ha vergebe degege kämpft
Wo au immer du bisch
Weiss nöd obi dich wet
Verstahsch dassi liebe
Was i nöd söt
Ich gib dir min Säge für das Lebe id Hand
Nimms doch
Verstand

Und alles woni mach
Isch das woni nöd söt
Weiss nüm wasi wett
Scho lang nüm wäri bi
Gahne denn glich dri
Verschwind aber lislig
Im Schatte vo Gspenster
Trotz zuene Fenster
Stahni uf dem Rand
Du hebsch mich zrug
Verstand

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
