Spinning from The Movie by To Athena
"Spinning" is the third pre-released single from the second bilingual album "The Movie", which will be released in October 2023.
"To Athena" has built a reputation for her unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics, and "Spinning" is no exception. However, the cynical breeze that blows through the song makes "Spinning" an unexpected roller coaster ride. A yet undiscovered musical corner in the world of To Athena is the destination of this fast-paced ride.
The song encourages listeners to take a step back and examine the world around them. It's a call to action that urges us to think about our impact on our society and the wealth balance in our world.

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

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.
