In Febuary 1998 Andreas left the band to concentrate on his studies, but first in Daniel Hauenstein and since December 2001 in Hiyu Utakai they found a replacement more than worthy.
Their compositions unite the influences of the Thrash, Heavy und Death Metal of the last decade in all its various styles. Power, aggression and melody are combined to a harmonic general concept, which fascinates a varied auditory. AARDVARKS create their atmospheric sound – as a counterpole to most acts of the current genre - without the use of any keyboards, just with the traditional intruments. Their songs exist of slow-melodic parts as well as pulsing mid-tempo riffings or sceaming-brutal thrash-parts.
AARDVARKS is:
- Guido Meyer de Voltaire | Rythm Guitar & Vocals
- Martin Below | Drums
- Kevin Olasz | Lead Guitar
- Sven »Sieben« Schmoll | Bass

There is one band called "AARDVARKS" and a few more called "The Aardvarks", several of whom have tracks listed against this listing for Aardvarks.
According to the Searchin’ For Shakes database there are four garage groups called the "The Aardvarks".
1) One of the three American groups that used the name were from Muskegon and released a few singles. Probably their most well-known number is the blazing garage-psych tune “I’m Higher Than I’m Down”, included on many comps (most notably Pebbles Vol 11).
2) In the mid-1980’s, a London group called The Aardvarks got together. They’ve got two singles and one album to their name - the a-side of their first 7” was compiled on The Children of Nuggets box in 2005. Inspired by the best in 60s sounds (Mod, garage, pop-art, psychedelia, freakbeat), London’s The Aardvarks were formed in Ealing, as part of the same scene which eventually reared Kula Shaker. For many years, they were one of the most popular bands on the Mod and 60s Revival circuit, issuing a string of acclaimed 45s on labels such as Screaming Apple and Detour. The Aardvarks’ 12-year lifespan is remembered on the ‘Sinker, Line and Hook - The Anthology 1987-1999’ compilation on Cherry Red Records, built around their 1995 album for Delerium, Bargain, while also offering an equal number of choice tracks from elsewhere. The ‘Varks tasted brief fame in the 90s, appearing on the James Whale TV Show and even supporting Bonnie Tyler!

Aardvarks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
whenever you see my face
but deep inside
your glances burn
liquid release
is running down my throat
deceitful warmth
fullfills my bones
No place to rest, no home to stay
no life to live, no role to play
the fear of living day by day
No god exists that I can pray
society that I obey
the poison leads me to decay
Forging my will
to stand this test of time
throughout the land
search for my fate
sometimes I feel
ephemeral hope in me rising but
expect my aim
beyond the wall
No place to rest, no home to stay
no voice to hear, no word to say
all colors fading into grey
No god exists that I can pray
I can't afford the price to pay
my low existance goes its way
Homeless
homeless
a destiny right between your eyes.
The lyrics of Aardvarks's song Homeless convey a profound sense of struggle, isolation, and despair. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the fact that the singer is homeless, highlighting how it is a state of being that is always with them. The person feels rejection deeply, and despite the liquid release that gives them momentary comfort, they never feel truly fulfilled. They are acutely aware of their lack of a place to rest or call home, and it seems they are constantly wandering through life with no clear purpose or way forward.
The lyrics also touch on the societal and economic factors that lead to the person's homelessness. The singer feels like they must obey society's rules even though they do not have the means to thrive within it. They lament that they cannot afford to pay the price for a better life, and it is this harsh reality that drives them towards the brink of decay. Despite feeling lost and helpless, the singer also expresses moments of hope and determination to keep searching for their fate and pushing beyond the wall that blocks their progress.
In summary, the lyrics of Homeless reflect the feelings of those who are marginalized, rejected, and struggle to survive on a day-to-day basis. The song is a poignant commentary on the societal constructs that leave some people behind and how it can lead to a perpetual cycle of despair and uncertainty.

Silent rejection
When you look at me without acknowledging my presence
whenever you see my face
At any given moment where we cross paths
but deep inside
Despite your outward demeanor
your glances burn
Your eyes reveal judgment and disdain
liquid release
Tears falling from my eyes
is running down my throat
As I try to hold back my emotions
deceitful warmth
False hope that clouds my judgement
fullfills my bones
A temporary comfort that fills me up
No place to rest, no home to stay
I have no physical, emotional, nor mental stability
no life to live, no role to play
Without direction or purpose
the fear of living day by day
I live in constant worry and uncertainty
No god exists that I can pray
I have lost faith in any higher power that can save me
society that I obey
My obedience to societal norms that have failed me
the poison leads me to decay
The toxic environment that is slowly killing me
Forging my will
Determined to keep going
to stand this test of time
To persevere despite the challenges faced
throughout the land
Traveling far and wide in search of a better life
search for my fate
Looking for the destiny that awaits me
sometimes I feel
Occasionally I experience
ephemeral hope in me rising but
A fleeting feeling of optimism
expect my aim
But I hope for more than just a temporary fix
beyond the wall
Outside of the confines of my current situation
no voice to hear, no word to say
My thoughts and opinions go unheard
all colors fading into grey
Life is becoming dull and monotonous
I can't afford the price to pay
I cannot sacrifice any more to achieve my desires
my low existance goes its way
My pathetic life continues its course
Homeless
Without a place to call home
homeless
Rejected and forgotten by society
a destiny right between your eyes.
This is the fate that I see for myself.
