In 2003 they released a second mini album - I'm Without Sleep... In This Desert of Concrete - on Household Name Records, supporting that release by touring Europe. They also conducted a 5 week tour with US ska-core band Leftöver Crack that year.
In early 2006 they announced that Dani, their bassist, had left the band and that they are currently seeking a new bassist. This has halted production of their forthcoming album.

Antimaniax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see me, or am I all alone?
Where is all the promised gone? Are you lying to yourself?
There you are now, what did I tell you? Remember what I've said.
Everybody is hiding behind himself, afraid of being honest to... himself.
Wasting life... by living lies.
Living in a true illusion is part of (y)our daily routine,
Do I really have to tell you that we once had the same dream?
Have you ever stopped to criticise? Have you ever stopped to fight? Fight!
Wasting time by living lies, what do you mean when you say, “Alright.�
What can I say, I turned the other way when you walked away!
Do I really have to tell you that we once had the same dream?
Can't you see me? When you walk away
Am I alone anyway?
Wasting life... by living lies.
Wasting life... by living lies.
To do what you want,
To live the life that you want,
It's up to you to change your life into...
Go!
The lyrics of Antimaniax's song "Freedumb" speaks about how people tend to hide behind their own self, afraid to be honest to themselves. The song starts with the question of whether the person singing is alone or not as they wonder where all the promises have gone. They then question if people are lying to themselves and then remind the listeners to remember what they've said. The lyrics then take a turn towards how people waste their lives by living lies and being in a true illusion that is part of their daily routine. The person singing questions if anyone has ever stopped to criticize and fight against this false illusion, wasting life by living lies. The song then ends with an encouraging message that it's up to the individual to change their life and live it the way they want.
