After acrimonious fighting with that label and changing music times, the group broke off and has since released multiple independent albums to a devoted following of synthpop fans. They've also incorporated more industrial and techno influences. 1990's 'Peace' was notably followed up by 1993's 'Hope'.
As time went on, their music has received some critical acclaim. Their 2001 album 'Worth, which was recorded in 1991 but released later for legal reasons, is named by Allmusic as "one of the most beautifully dark synth-pop albums ever made." The band garnered attention for releasing a free EP entirely in MP3 format in 2003 as well.
Their official site is www.anythingbox.com, which contains several free song downloads. They also have an active MySpace page at www.myspace.com/anythingbox.

Because
Anything Box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because you're afraid,
You live in the darkness.
Because you're alone,
You think no one hears
You. but I'm still alive.
And I'm not afraid.
I'm here to listen...
To anything you say,
Anything you need,
Anything you want,
Anything you plead,
Because I love you,
Because I love you,
And I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid...
Not anymore...

The song conveys a message of hope, empathy, and support.
The beginning lines, "Because you're afraid, you live in the darkness. Because you're alone, you think no one hears you." highlights how fear and loneliness can isolate a person, making them feel unheard and invisible. The singer assures the person that they are not alone and that they are present and understand what they are going through. They acknowledge the person's struggle and emphasize that they are not afraid to face it with them. The lines "Because I love you" are a reassurance of the singer's care and commitment to the person.
