A lot of fans don't like Tinnitus Sanctus album mainly because Edguy did something little bit new and had few songs that they experimented with. But I love this album (and this song too), I think it has a lot of cool and underrated songs. And yea, Tobi looves using fancy words in his lyrics
This sas the first album I heard from them, and this song the first one I loved. The music made the trick, the rhythm, fun lyrics, and a message that makes you think. I agree the backing vocals are weird, but it is becaise Toby isn't scared of experimenting and messing up that we got Avantasia, so I 'm not complaining :P
I love this album and song (of course), but you're certainly not alone. Many fans believe Edguy went downhill with this album and the following one (Age of the Joker). Many other fans disagree of course, but it's definitely one of the less popular albums. However, you also might just have been thrown off by the different sound of this one and the more you listen to Edguy the more you'll appreciate it. Or this one is just not to your taste. :) I don't know if you picked up on this during the song, but it's about drugs. Supposedly "dragonfly" is a slang term for heroin and "you're riding high when you nasalize what you pulverize" sounds like cocaine to me. The anonymous person this song's about is told how wonderful the drugs will make him feel ("treasure of gold", "dance on the rainbow"), and peer pressure, so he goes for it despite knowing his "daddy won't approve". Everything's fun and games until he overdoses ("to late to intermediate - smoking kills"). "1,2,3,4 calling you" sounds like paramedics (or his friends) trying to revive the guy, but he dies. It's an anti-drug "drug song". Hopefully this clears up some of the weirdness for you. :) Derring-do means "a feat of daring". It's not the most common word, but it is correct. Funny story, in high school having to do vocab, which by that time was down to obscure words, and "derring-do" was one of them. I remember thinking I'll never see that word show up outside of school. Little did I know Edguy was using it that very same year! Ah, Tobi, always humbling me and making me eat my words. :) I can't get enough of it.
Maybe the chorus was actually supposed to change the song. Just take „Bohemian Rapsody“ from Queen. You could do 3 different songs out of this masterpiece. That’s Songwriting on a level I would never be capable to judge
It's almost as if who recommended this doesn't know that you like Edguy songs epic & heavy. Out of all the Edguy songs available this was a poor choice for you. Edguy that I think you'd enjoy based upon your previous vids that you haven't done yet include: Nailed to the Wheel, Behind the Gates to Midnight World, The Realms of Baba Yaga, Shadow Eaters, & The Eternal Wayfarer....and I recommend these as a fan of both Edguy & Maiden.
Tinnitus Sanctus is the worst album by Edguy. There are gold on this album as well but it is their weakest album. And this song has to be probably my least favorite song by them. But if you kinda like it or appreciate it, good news! The albums that came after this one was stellar stuff. Their last being really fucking good. Space Police is an album that kinda brought them back to Hellfire Club and Rocket Ride.
Nice! One of my favourites from them!

I very much like this song and the chorus actually.

No you are not the weird one out.............. You have company!
In my opinion the back chorus fits very much!!!!

Please, can you make a review of a song called The Eternal Wayfarer from Edguy?
