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.

On The Way
Cales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I made my way through the fog
I'll find my way through this dark and cold wintertime
I'll find my way through it all
Find a way
I'll find a way
I was raised on an 18 acre farm
Half a mile down a dirt road
Half a mile down a dirt road
And I walked the cobblestone streets at night
The language I heard was not mine
But I'll find a way to communicate
Yeah, I have the will and incline
To find a way
I'll find a way
I was raised on an 18 acre farm
Half a mile down a dirt road
And when your blue skies vanish into grey
You'll find a way
And that unemployment line gets longer every day
But we'll find a way
We'll find a way
I was raised on an 18 acre farm
Half a mile down a dirt road
I was raised on an 18 acre farm
Half a mile down a dirt road
I'll find a way
I'll find a way
You'll find a way
'Til brighter days
The lyrics to Cales’s “On the Way” embody the spirit of rock and roll, emphasizing liberation, movement, and energy. The first lines, “Some like this and some like that/And some don't know where it's at,” express a respect for individuality while also celebrating the simple joy of enjoying music. To fully experience the music, however, the listener is exhorted to “get loose…[and] groove” - movements that seem to connect the physical with the emotional foundation of the music.
The motif of movement and motion is reinforced by references to motorcycles (“If you don't get loose…well, your motor won't make it/And your motor won't move”) and by the song’s title (“On the Way”). The song’s narrative focus appears to be on a group of musicians, each of whom receives a brief mention: the “bow-legged woman” who “got a jive” and “got a move”; Fat Jack, the owner of the honky-tonk, who “don’t care at all” what anyone does in his establishment; a drummer whom we hear playing and who is instructed on how to provide the right beat (which the singer clearly believes will involve a lot of movement); and a guitar player who has traveled the world but still gets distracted by women.
Despite the references to dancing, parties, and hedonistic pursuits, the song also warns about being too passive or uncommitted. “Easy come, easy go” suggests a certain nonchalance towards outcomes, while the repeated exhortation to “turn it up loud” metaphorically resonates in the sense of embracing life to its fullest. Overall, ‘On the Way’ seems to be a reminder of what rock and roll can offer: the opportunity to express and engage with emotions, to feel liberated, and to contribute to one’s own sense of vitality and energy.

I am living life to the fullest, letting it take me where it may

There's movement in the air And movement in the crowd
There's a buzz and excitement in the atmosphere and among the people

Keep repeating the dance moves and rhythm

Fat Jack owns a Honky-tonk downtown
A man named Fat Jack owns a popular bar in the city

Fat Jack he don't care at all
The owner of the bar is relaxed and not uptight
Easy come, easy go Any way the wind blows
Things come and go with ease, and people should just let them happen

Eight nine ten, gonna stop at eleven
A countdown to something, with the intention of stopping soon
Eleven just lays around with seven
Eleven and seven are grouped together as if they go together, and are not doing anything particularly impressive
Some like this and some like that
Repeating that people have different preferences and tastes
And some don't know where it's at
Repeating that some people lack direction or purpose in life
If you don't get loose, If you don't groove
Repeating the point that you have to let loose and enjoy yourself to have a good time
Well, your motor won't make it And your motor won't move
Repeating that if you lack energy and enthusiasm, you won't have fun or be able to move with the music
Easy come, easy go Any way the wind blows
Repeating that things come and go easily, and people should be open to change and flexibility
