Discography -> Metopia
Single release: Metopia
Metopia dives into the seductive pull of virtual worlds, where pain, failure, and reality seem far away. But when one finds love inside the illusion, one question remains: what is truly real? A rock anthem about escapism, human struggle, and finding the courage to return to reality.
Metopia taucht in die verführerische Anziehungskraft virtueller Welten ein, in denen Schmerz, Scheitern und die Realität weit entfernt erscheinen. Doch wenn man innerhalb der Illusion Liebe findet, bleibt eine Frage: Was ist wirklich real? Eine Song über Eskapismus, menschliche Konflikte und den Mut, in die Realität zurückzukehren.
Lyrics
I leave behind the carbon world
In its flesh, I’ve always felt like a thorn
If this is the promised land
I willingly give what it demands
What is illusion what is reality?
In the end does it really matter?
Whatever lets my heart skip a beat
Is good for me, is good for me
A new time has begun
Metopia, thy kingdom come
I am the start, I’m the end
We pseudo-gods, we all pretend
I aim for the sweet, let the bitter be the best of all worlds is for me
Benevolent eyes rest upon me
Invisible hand is gently pushing me
To a dollhouse we were given the keys
Do we feel truly free?
We can’t escape from our past
Together alone in the kingdom of the lost.
Would we play with fire, if we can’t get burned?
Would we laugh without surprise of a sudden turn?
The heart keeps on shivering in this perfect tempered world
No loss, no gain ,no ecstasy no pain - reality hurts!
We came to defy the norm
But edges and corners define the form
What we came looking for, we won’t find here
There ain’t no escape running from fear
Avatar girl wake up from this lucid dream
Follow the breadcrumbs all the way upstream
You rescue me, I will set you free
Let’s meet again in total physicality
For our true self will forthcome
Metopia, you come undone
In its flesh, I’ve always felt like a thorn
If this is the promised land
I willingly give what it demands
What is illusion what is reality?
In the end does it really matter?
Whatever lets my heart skip a beat
Is good for me, is good for me
A new time has begun
Metopia, thy kingdom come
I am the start, I’m the end
We pseudo-gods, we all pretend
I aim for the sweet, let the bitter be the best of all worlds is for me
Benevolent eyes rest upon me
Invisible hand is gently pushing me
To a dollhouse we were given the keys
Do we feel truly free?
We can’t escape from our past
Together alone in the kingdom of the lost.
Would we play with fire, if we can’t get burned?
Would we laugh without surprise of a sudden turn?
The heart keeps on shivering in this perfect tempered world
No loss, no gain ,no ecstasy no pain - reality hurts!
We came to defy the norm
But edges and corners define the form
What we came looking for, we won’t find here
There ain’t no escape running from fear
Avatar girl wake up from this lucid dream
Follow the breadcrumbs all the way upstream
You rescue me, I will set you free
Let’s meet again in total physicality
For our true self will forthcome
Metopia, you come undone
