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.

Blue Little Rose
Anything Box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blue little rose
You are crying
I am trying
To let you know that I love you so
Sweet little rose
On your lonely days
In the wind of my heart
I can help you see
What it's like to be
Taken from the garden
Where you grew up with me
I can set you free
If you just run to me
All the thorns will go away
If you stay with me
Little rose...
The song "Blue Little Rose" by Anything Box is a melancholic love song that compares the singer's love to a blue little rose. The lyrics speak of a flower that is crying while the singer tries to let it know how much he loves it. The rose is described as lonely, and the singer promises to help it by letting it sway in the wind of his heart. The singer acknowledges that the rose has grown up with him in the garden, and he can help it see what it's like to be taken from the garden. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for a lover who is feeling lost, alone, and disconnected from the world, and the singer is offering to take them away and show them a new world of love and comfort.
The theme of the song is loneliness and the desire for love and connection. The blue little rose symbolizes the singer's love interest who is going through a difficult time. The song is a message of hope that things can get better and the singer can provide comfort and support. The lyrics are poetic and sincere and evoke a sense of empathy in anyone who has felt lonely or lost in love.
