Their current lineup consists of Hoffmann, vocalist Mark Tornillo, guitarists Uwe Lulis and Philip Shouse, drummer Christopher Williams and bassist Martin Motnik. Before arriving at their current lineup, Accept has undergone numerous lineup changes, being Hoffmann the last remaining original member since its inception, and he is the only band member to appear on each album.
Accept played an important role in the development of speed and thrash metal, and they were part of the German heavy metal scene, which emerged in the early to mid-1980s. They have also been cited as an influence or inspiration by a number of acts, including Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Testament, Anthrax, Guns N' Roses, MĂśtley CrĂźe, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Overkill, Exodus, and Annihilator, as well as fellow Germans such as Helloween, Blind Guardian, Doro, Sodom, Rage, and Grave Digger. Accept achieved its first commercial success with their fifth studio album Balls to the Wall (1983), which is the band's only album to be certified gold in the United States and Canada, and spawned their well-known hit "Balls to the Wall".
Accept have broken up and reformed multiple times. They first split up in 1989, several months after the release of Eat the Heat (which was their only album with Dirkschneider's initial replacement David Reece), but reformed in 1992 and released three more albums before disbanding again in 1997. After briefly reuniting in 2005, Accept announced their third reunion in 2009, with former T.T. Quick frontman Mark Tornillo replacing Dirkschneider (who declined to participate), and the band has recorded five albums with him: Blood of the Nations (2010), Stalingrad (2012), Blind Rage (2014), The Rise of Chaos (2017) and Too Mean to Die (2021); each of those albums renewed Accept's popularity in Germany and entered the top ten charts there.

Losing More Than You've Ever H
Accept Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel how you burn your hate in my soul
It's like I'd have my hand in your coat
And feel the stainless steel of your sword
Years, have gone by I know that she's left you
Before I passed by
I was collecting the dreams of the heart
Can't you see that you've lost her soul
She's been gone a long time ago
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Man, you're dying
For what you've lost but never had
'Cause you've been losing
More than you have ever had
Man stop longing
For the girl you made so sad
Always losing for so long, for so long
Man, why are you running blind to the past
Why don't you try to understand
When I found her she was dying
Trying to kill herself
Maybe you didn't know what you've done
But all you want to do is wrong
Man, you came to kill for someone who's gone
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
Man, you're dying
For what you've lost but never had
'Cause you've been losing
More than you have ever had
Man stop longing
For the girl you made so sad
Always losing for so long
Man, you're dying
For what you've lost but never had
'Cause you've been losing
More than you have ever had
Man stop longing
For the girl you made so sad
Always losing for so long
The lyrics to Accept's song Losing More Than You've Ever Had appear to be about a man who is clinging to a past relationship, even though it has long since ended. The singer of the song is speaking to this man, pointing out that he is holding onto something that he never really had in the first place. It seems as though the woman in question has moved on, but the man is unable to do so. The line "Man, you're dying for what you've lost but never had" suggests that the man is living in a fantasy world, and that he needs to let go of the past in order to move on.
The lyrics also hint that the woman in question was going through a difficult time when the singer found her. The line "when I found her she was dying, trying to kill herself" suggests that the woman was in a bad place emotionally. It's possible that the man in the song was part of the reason why she was so unhappy. The line "man stop longing for the girl you made so sad" is a poignant reminder that our actions can have a lasting impact on those around us, and that we should be careful not to hurt others.
Overall, the lyrics to Losing More Than You've Ever Had are a powerful meditation on the nature of loss, regret, and the human tendency to hold onto things that we know are no longer good for us. The song asks the listener to consider what they are holding onto, and whether it's time to let go and move on.
Line by Line Meaning
Man, I know that you're out in the crowd
I can see that you're in the midst of many people
And I feel how you burn your hate in my soul
I sense your anger and resentment deeply affecting me
It's like I'd have my hand in your coat
It's as if I can feel the texture of your clothing through my hand
And feel the stainless steel of your sword
And sense the sharpness of the weapon you carry
Years, have gone by I know that she's left you
I'm aware that years have passed since she left you
Before I passed by
Before I entered your life
I was collecting the dreams of the heart
I was gathering the deepest desires and aspirations of the heart
And then she was reborn in my arms
And then she found new life and love in my embrace
Can't you see that you've lost her soul
Don't you realize that you've lost her love and affection
She's been gone a long time ago
She's been gone for quite some time
Man, it's been a long time since you've lost her heart
It's been a considerable amount of time since you've lost her affection
Man, you're dying
You're suffering greatly
For what you've lost but never had
Because you never fully possessed her and lost her anyway
'Cause you've been losing
Because you've been experiencing loss
More than you have ever had
More than you've ever experienced gain or fulfillment
Man stop longing
Stop yearning for her
For the girl you made so sad
For the girl you caused so much pain and sorrow
Always losing for so long, for so long
Enduring perpetual loss for such a prolonged period of time
Man, why are you running blind to the past
Why are you refusing to acknowledge your history
Why don't you try to understand
Why don't you make an effort to comprehend
When I found her she was dying
When I discovered her, she was in a state of despair
Trying to kill herself
Attempting to end her own life
Maybe you didn't know what you've done
Perhaps you weren't aware of the impact of your actions
But all you want to do is wrong
But your intentions and desires are misguided
Man, you came to kill for someone who's gone
You're seeking revenge for someone who's no longer present in your life
Man, you're dying
You're suffering greatly
For what you've lost but never had
Because you never fully possessed her and lost her anyway
'Cause you've been losing
Because you've been experiencing loss
More than you have ever had
More than you've ever experienced gain or fulfillment
Man stop longing
Stop yearning for her
For the girl you made so sad
For the girl you caused so much pain and sorrow
Always losing for so long
Enduring perpetual loss for such a prolonged period of time

This is our home
Look at this home
We've got every generation
We need a new foundation
So full of music
It may seem hopeless
A rhythm of its own design
But we'll get by just fine
This is my family
Look at this family
A perfect constellation
A glowing constellation
So many stars and everybody gets to shine
So full of stars and everybody want to shine

The fact Delores says âI knew he never left, I heard him every dayâ makes me think she listened to all of Brunoâs shows, including the telenovelas.
@crcoghill
