Over the next few years Asrai worked on perfecting their sound, image, and musical relationships - picking up Manon, Rik and Martin as permanent members to create the rich and epic sound they have today.
Touch in the Dark was recorded on indie Dutch-euro label Transmission Records in 2004 (produced by German gothic metal studio wizard Roman Schoensee of The Bloodline/Dreamside) and mixed by Sasha Peath.
They have appeared at over 20 European festivals in 2005 and 2006, and showcased their new single at Paradiso in Amsterdam in May 2006. Asrai went 2008 on a European tour; The Darkest Tout, with Septhic Flesh, Gorgoroth, (now called Godseed), Moonspell and Cradle of Filth. And in 2010 Asrai was part of the Rubicon tour, with Unsun and Tristania.

Asrai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking in the mirror
She saw the face behind
And how can she forgen
When it's staring in her face
She can't remember where it went wrong
Staring in the mirror
Screaming for these questions
But she already knew it all
The silence marks the time
What's happening?
Don't know
And walked away
And walked away
A silence for the storm
I lost your face in the crowd
I thought that's what you wanted
But the fear keeps me screaming
She apologised for her abuse
She believes her body is only for use
Locked up in a tower
Broken glass inside
She's pressing her lips on the wall
She screams out
But no one wants to hear
But no one wants to hear
She's a stranger to herself
She's a stranger to herself
The lyrics of Tower by Asrai paint a dark and haunting picture of a woman who is struggling with her inner demons. The woman in question is looking in the mirror and sees a stranger staring back at her, and she cannot forget or forgive the mistakes of the past. The first stanza highlights her confusion and frustration with herself, as she cannot figure out where things went wrong or how to fix them.
The woman continues to scream for answers, but she already knows the truth. She is lost in her own thoughts and emotions, unable to express herself fully to anyone. The silence surrounding her only increases her desperation, as she feels like no one around her can understand or support her.
The next section highlights the woman's abuse and feelings of being trapped. She apologises for her exploitation and feels that her body is solely for the use of others. The woman sees herself as being locked up in a tower, where she is surrounded by broken glass and is unable to break free. She presses her lips against the wall, screaming out her frustration, but no one is there to listen.
Overall, the lyrics to Tower suggest a woman who is struggling to find her own identity and feels trapped in her own thoughts and emotions. The song is a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health and the need for society to offer support to those who are struggling.
Line by Line Meaning
She has met the stranger inside
She has come face to face with her innermost fears and doubts
Looking in the mirror
Taking a deep introspective look at oneself in the mirror
She saw the face behind
She saw the true identity she was hiding from herself
And how can she forgen
And how can she forget when the memory is always present
When it's staring in her face
When the reality is always in front of her, impossible to ignore
She can't remember where it went wrong
She can't recall the origin of the fear and doubt that haunt her
Staring in the mirror
Continuing to look at herself in the mirror, seeking answers
It's the face on the wall
The fear and doubt are becoming more apparent
Screaming for these questions
Desperately seeking answers and solutions
But she already knew it all
She knew the answers all along but was hiding from them
The silence marks the time
A moment of quiet contemplation
What's happening?
What is going on in one's mind
Don't know
Unclear about what is happening
And walked away
Choosing to leave the confusion behind
A silence for the storm
Preparing for the upcoming chaos with a peaceful interlude
I lost your face in the crowd
Unable to recognize the familiar in the midst of confusion
I thought that's what you wanted
Assuming based on one's own perception rather than asking for clarity
But the fear keeps me screaming
The fear and confusion are driving further desperation and panic
She apologised for her abuse
Acknowledging and taking responsibility for the self-destructive behavior
She believes her body is only for use
Viewing oneself as only having value as an object of utility
Locked up in a tower
Feeling trapped and isolated from the outside world
Broken glass inside
Internal struggles and emotional pain
She's pressing her lips on the wall
Trying to break free from the isolation and reach out for help
She screams out
Expressing her distress and need for support
But no one wants to hear
Feeling alone and unheard
She's a stranger to herself
Feeling disconnected from one's own identity
She's a stranger to herself
Feeling disconnected from one's own identity
