In 2002, half of the band took on new members and the band was reformed.
They slowly built up a fan base with their shows. In 2004 they released their first single. This was followed by more singles, and being featured in TV commercials for mobile phone service provider "Tre".
In August of 2005 released their debut full-length album "Rest In Sleaze". The album made the top 10 in Sweden.
The band's success would be short-lived however. On January 20th of 2006, lead singer Dave Lepard was found dead, committed suicide, in his apartment in Uppsala, Sweden. After this, the remaining members decided they couldn't continue without Lepard, but later started the search for a new singer. And with the blessing from Lepard's family they continued with the same name.
The new singer H. Olliver Twisted was announced and made his first live performance at the Stockholm "Rest In Sleaze" festival. In October they released their second album, The Unattractive Revolution. The single "In the Raw" reached number 11 on the Swedish albums chart.
The Olliver-period wouldn't last for long. They broke with him in the summer 2008 due to his lack of commitment. H. Olliver Twisted a.k.a. Olli Herman later followed his ambitions to be a lead singer as the frontman of a Finnish hair-rockband Reckless Love. Many thought this would be the last of CRASHDÏET, but by June 2009 they had found a new singer, Simon Cruz. And by April 2010 they had released their third record with their third singer. Generation Wild peaked at #3 on the Swedish album chart and #1 on the Hard rock chart.
In early 2012 they officially announced their fourth studio album, The Savage Playground, which was released on January 22, 2013. The first single, "Cocaine Cowboys," was released on December 14, 2012. Singer Simon Cruz left the band in the middle of their 2015 Japan tour.
On December 6, 2017 Crashdïet announced Gabriel Keyes as the new lead singer with the single "We Are Legion" to follow December 31, 2017 and also released "Reptile" on January 1, 2019
Crashdïet released their new full length studio record, Rust, with new singer, Gabriel Keyes, on 13 September 2019 via Frontiers music srl and also released the third single from the album, "In the Maze", on August 5, 2019.
Overnight
CRASHDÏET Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To live yer life like there is no reason
Some say it never makes sense
But you'll find the truth my friend
It doesn't matter if you are religious
It don't matter if yer superstitious
Some day it all will make sense
Some people can't take the truth
No wonder they ain't feeling satisfied
Overnight
Your life could turn around
You ain't the same anymore
Say goodbye
To the life that you have known
You ain't the same anymore
It doesn't matter if you're bound to make it
It don't matter if you try to fake it
Some say it never will end
Then you finally come across fate
Some people like to bury it all
And the pain remains inside
Overnight
Your life could turn around
You ain't the same anymore
Say goodbye
To the life that you have known
You ain't the same anymore
Overnight
Your life could turn around
You ain't the same anymore
Say goodbye
To the life that you have known
You ain't the same anymore
You might wake up one day
And nuthin' seems to be the same
If you're lost yer own way
Then it's nice to blame it one fate
Overnight
Your life could turn around
You ain't the same anymore
Say goodbye
To the life that you have known
You ain't the same anymore
The lyrics of CRASHDÏET's song Overnight convey a sense of uncertainty and the unpredictability of life. The chorus repeats the idea that “your life could turn around overnight” and that you won't be the same person you were before. The verses acknowledge that life is confusing and filled with unanswered questions – it doesn't make sense and some people can't handle the truth. However, the lyrics offer a glimmer of hope – that someday it will all make sense – even if that understanding only comes through encountering fate or destiny's lake.
The song is about change and the necessary acceptance of it. It's easy to get wrapped up in the routines and beliefs that make us feel comfortable, but ultimately change is inevitable. You might wake up one day and realize that nothing seems to be the same. It's human nature to resist change, but the lyrics suggest that embracing it will ultimately lead to a more fulfilling life.
Overall, CRASHDÏET's Overnight is a powerful reminder that no matter what stage of life we're in, we're all subject to the mysterious forces of fate and destiny. Even when life is tough, we should keep the faith that everything will make sense in time.
