Album Review - Lost Zone - Ordinary Misery




As it has been a whole month since this banger of an album was released, so I decided it was time for a review.


I have loved this song since it came out as a single back in October, the words feel like they come from every person who is dealing with mental health issues. Just the chorus says it all:-


Hiding in the dark

I'm so lost inside

Been fighting demons for my whole life

Feel like giving up

Would you be my light?!

Been fighting demons for my whole life


This is also one of my favourite tracks where Andre screams and I still wouldn't have believed that noise came out of him if I hadn't seen it for myself in Cologne lol.


The way I interpret this song is that it is all about moving forward and not letting the past hold you back.


Wake up! Get prepared!

Gonna catch you and get back what you took from me!

You’re a shadow of my memory! Just a shadow of my memory!


There are so many times we have all been held back by a person or experience in the past and we can't move forward but we need to push ourselves.


This one is the latest single and features Philip Wilhelm from the band From Fall To Spring. This is such a brilliant song and super catchy, you will be walking around with "do it all again, do it all again".


What I really like about this one is that we hear Simon rapping and then it turns into an awesome dance tune. It's like an extra added bit of energy to take you into the second half of the album. This is one of my favourites to listen to while I'm driving because I can just scream the words at the top of my voice! It's the perfect song to become an antham.


This is such an amazing song. It makes me just want to get up and dance around the room, especially at the chorus when the tempo goes up. I dare you to do your best to sit down for this track!


This is a beautiful love song, I feel it's about loving someone but also being scared by it because of being hurt before. But the love is so deep that they know the other person is the one, it's true love and out of "seven billion shooting stars" they are the one.


Love this one because it’s a mini dance track right in the middle of the album. It’s like the band wanted to make sure we were all still paying attention to it hahaha.


This is my favourite track on this album. I just love it so much!!! It's another one were I find it so relatabale because I always say there are 2 voices in my head, one trying to keep me level headed and the other that throws me in panic attacks. They are constantly battling against each other in my head. "They won't let me sleep at night", nope, I get all sorts of ideas mainly at night. "They tell me I should move, I should stay, go away", I find making some decisions so hard because one voice is saying one thing but then the other will start and I don't know what to do.


This one hit me hard, this is exactly what was going through my head when my mental health was at it's worst. "Do I recognise myself? Yeah for sure, doing the same mistakes over and over again, sometimes it's easier to shut the door but I'm trying to leave to cracked as long as I can." And the conversation I would have with my husband was that I just wanted him to hold me, he didn't need to say anything, I just needed that contact and his understanding. I get very emotional listening to this song.


This one is part in German, part English so for those of you that don't speak German:-


I click through the internet like crazy

Telly Fail Army since the crib

Inconspicuous on the street, always nice

But hate comes when I sit down in the room

What the hell have you done here?

My mother gets the wind from the front

From child porn to incel forums

I was born a child of wrath

Because anonymity no longer works

Clicked submit

Sitting here at the kitchen table

With a grin on his face

"The bitch gets fucked"

With my real name: Michael Schmidt


When will we find a way, where will this end?

I'm terrified of our foreshadowing

Foreshadowing


Pornhub fucked my head

That's still way too soft for me BDSM -

for me is flower sex When I have snuff,

I smoke a bag Inspiration

taken from Reddit Sink even deeper into the rabbit hole

Love goes through the stomach I'm going to be a cannibal now

Because anonymity no longer works Clicked submit

Sitting here at the kitchen table

With a grin on his face "I want people to eat me"

With my real name: Michael Schmidt


When will we find a way, where will this end?

I'm terrified of our foreshadowing

Foreshadowing


No end in sight, rha

No end in sight, rha

No end in sight


When will we find a way, where will this end?

I'm terrified of our foreshadowing

We're raised by hate and lies, no they won't end

Let's change the path of our foreshadowing

Foreshadowing


The shortest track on the album but it's just so beautiful. Close you eyes while listening to it and you will feel so calm, it's like Florian's voice hypnostises you.


This is such a good chilled song but I think it's about trying to make your dreams come true and it's not going the way you want it to or reaching a goal but it's not what the person dreamed it would be.
