In year 1998 together with album of his another band Entrails was released a promo of Cales-Mystery of Lost Equilibrium.
In 2001 The Pass In Time saw the light of day. At that time Skuny became the bands new singer, because original singer J.S. De Sed decided to spend all his time on his own band Dark Gamballe.
Around 2003, Cales changed their style to a more hard rock sound, leaving the trails of their pagan past behind for now. The album Uncommon Excursion is a mix of modern hard rock with a typically Blackie sounding guitar and good work by singer Skuny (also in Sad Harmony) and drummer R. 'Evil' Kostelnak (also in Root).
In 2007, the instrumental album called Savage Blood returned to the pagan past of the project.

FAREWELL
Cales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I won't let them catch me
All your banal worries are strange to me
All your petty interests seem so shallow
I don't understand why you'd waste words on this
Don't you know
That Im free from the problems
That plague you
I had a feeling we had a lot in common
Now I'm coming to realize
How distant we were
And I'm not surprised at all
I wanted to offer you a sightseeing flight
Show you how to relish freedom
And give you a piece of my mind
Now I'm coming to realize
That you are stark blind
And your narrow-mindedness
Fills you with contentment
But I don't feel sorry for you at all
In Cales's song "Farewell," the singer expresses a sense of freedom and detachment from the troubles and concerns that seem to preoccupy others. The lyrics suggest a sense of transcendence over the mundane and materialistic concerns that can weigh down one's spirit. The singer is almost amused by the small worries and interests that others seem to have, and he sees them as insignificant and shallow in comparison to the broader view he has gained of the world.
The song also suggests a sense of disappointment and distance from those who do not share the singer's perspective. He had hoped to connect with others who might be able to see the world as he does, but he is coming to realize that they are "stark blind" and content in their narrow-mindedness. Despite this sense of isolation, the singer does not feel sorry for those who are blind to his point of view. He sees his understanding of the world as a gift, and he is content to relish in his freedom from the problems that plague others.
Overall, "Farewell" is a song that celebrates a sense of freedom and detachment from the small and petty concerns of everyday life. The lyrics suggest that there is a broader, more meaningful perspective to be gained by those who can transcend their materialistic concerns and narrow-mindedness.
