A few songs were immediately written and the band performed one gig in 2005. Shortly after, Fursy Teyssier decided to leave the band to go back to his studies. In April 2005, a first MCD titled Ruines humaines was recorded. Neige used two tracks (« Bonheur amputé » and « Ruines humaines ») he had originally composed for Mortifera, which he had just been leaving at the time. Amesoeurs sent the MCD to a few labels, but had to wait 2006 to see its release through German label Northern Silence Productions. Amesoeurs has worked with the photographer Isabelle Hanssen for the pictures of Ruines humaines and the graphic designer Fursy Teyssier so as to create a visual environment which perfectly suits the music.
In March of 2009, the group decided to split up, after releasing their debut album, due to tensions in the band.
Faiblesse des sens
Amesoeurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qu'un temps mort accentue;
L'énergie se perd, les envies se trainent,
Chaque phase de malaise altère la raison.
Humeurs instables inavouées,
Faiblesse des sens et frustration
Etouffant la conscience.
Salissure intérieure;
Les corps sont des réfuges aux caresses
Rendus inodores dès qu'ils gerbent leur semence.
Un vide permanent endormira les restes.
The lyrics of Amesoeurs's song Faiblesse des sens depict a feeling of despair and frustration as the singer struggles with their own impulses and physical desires. The first two lines suggest that actions can sometimes lead to regret, and in moments of stillness, those feelings of regret can be more intense. As the song progresses, the singer delves into their own psyche and reveals a sense of self-loathing and disgust. The phrase "Je m'écoeure" translates to "I disgust myself," which speaks to a deep sense of unworthiness the singer is feeling.
The second half of the lyrics dive deeper into the physical aspect of the singer's struggles. The phrase "Salissure intérieure" directly translates to "inner filth," which highlights the singer's unease with their own bodily desires. They describe bodies as being "refuges aux caresses" or "refuges for caresses," but the act of releasing their semen causes the body to become "inodores" or "odorless," suggesting a sense of emptiness. The final line speaks to a persistent feeling of emptiness that will eventually overtake the remains of their body. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and inner turmoil as the singer grapples with their own instincts and desires.

Gestures are regrets
Let a dead time accentuate;
Energy is lost, cravings drag on,
Each phase of discomfort alters reason.
Unacknowledged unstable moods,
Weak senses and frustration
Smothering consciousness.
I'm getting sick.
Interior soiling;
The bodies are caressed refugees
Made odorless as soon as they stack their seed.
A permanent vacuum will put the remains to sleep.

I didn't realize how beautiful the French language was until I started listening to bands like Amesoeurs and Alcest a while ago. Hails from Sweden!
