about

To Athena, Esmeralda Galda

"Goldigs Lächle" is the first pre-released song of the collaboration EP "Wältuntergang" (VÖ 27.01.23) by Esmeralda Galda and To Athena. This song thematizes the widespread drug use of our performance-oriented society, and what is left behind.
 
To Athena: "In my WG time in Zurich I often had the function to look for happiness again with my friends, after they had "consumed" everything the night before. At some point this annoyed me. Always having to be there when there was nothing left of the fun and the emptiness had to be filled again. That moved me to write "Goldigs Lächle". For a long time the song remained incomplete. Now, through the collaboration with Esmeralda Galda, it has finally come to life."
 
"Goldigs Lächle" is a small reminder that happiness can be a finite resource when overused.

lyrics

Schwemmsch rechtig Abfloss
Metere Strömig ohni Drang
De Klang vom Abschoss
Leited dech din Wäg entlang

Do geds nüt me z’zwiifle
Es schiint alles glüeht
Du chasch dech nömm griffe
Und hesch all dis Glöck verrüehrt

Du treisch es goldigs Lächle
Ufere Hölle gföllt met Staub
Du chasch dech ned berächne
För das fählt der de Verstand

Ond wenn du denn gheisch
Ja denn gheisch du ned wit
Well du flügsch scho die ganzi Ziit
Du stohsch i dim Sumpf ond du wartisch uf s‘Tribe
D’Worzle wend ned schloh

Du läbsch em Vakuum
Do fallt der all‘s glich schwär
So blibsch no lang jung
Und machsch de Bronne läär

Do hesch nüt meh z‘zwiifle
Es schint alles glüeht
Du hesch dech vertrebe
Bald esch all dis Glöck verblüeht

Du treisch es goldigs Lächle
Ufere Hölle gföllt met Staub
Du chasch dech ned berächne
För das fählt der de Verstand

Ond wenn du denn gheisch
Ja denn gheisch du ned wit
Well du flügsch scho uf tüfem Grund
Versinksch i dim Sumpf ond du wartisch uf s‘Tribe
D’worzle chönd ned schloh

about

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
