Before is a "punk evergreen"-band in Denmark, with the wild front singer, Fritz Fatal. He was known of being crazy, once cutting himself onstage with a razor knife just to impress a woman he knew, and loved.
The band doesn't exist anymore, but in the late years of his life, Fritz, is stepping out of his memories and now is the front singer in a danish post punk band, Mental Midgets. Mental Midgets was actually formed after Fritz' breakup with Before, but they never released anything.

Before Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left us all behind
You never said goodbye
If I could see you now
I'd ask you all the things I never had the guts to ask
Before you go
Can you look me in the eyes?
Tell me one more lie
Before you go
Can you look me in the eyes?
Tell me one last time
Tell me that you're mine
Our love burned out too fast
Just two kids with a dream in mind but burdened by their past
And I know I've had my share
Of giving up and always thinking that you never cared
So please
Before you go
Can you look me in the eyes?
Tell me one more lie
Tell me that you're mine
Before you go
Can you look me in the eyes?
Tell me one last time
Tell me that you're mine
And I am not alright
Wish you were here tonight
And I am not alright
You left us all behind
And I am not alright
Wish you were here tonight
And I am not alright
The lyrics to Before's song Before are a heart-wrenching exploration of loss and regret. The song addresses an individual who has left the singer, and is pleading with them to return for just one more moment. The track's chorus of "Before you go, can you look me in the eyes? Tell me one last time, tell me that you're mine," underscores the singer's sense of desolation and sadness, as they confront the reality of their separation from this individual.
The opening lines of the song, "And I can't forget the night / You left us all behind / You never said goodbye," are particularly harrowing, as they highlight the sudden and abrupt nature of this individual's departure. This point is further underscored by the repetition of the phrase "Before you go," which serves as a desperate plea to delay the inevitable separation. The singer also admits that they never had the courage to ask this individual about certain things, adding an additional layer of complexity to the situation.
Throughout the song, Before paints a vivid picture of the pain and longing that comes with losing someone you love. The track's slow, melancholy melody reinforces this idea, evoking a sense of lonesomeness and sadness. Ultimately, "Before" serves as a poignant reminder of the power of love, and the crushing reality of its absence.
