… Read Full Bio ↴There have been at least three artists sharing the name Camouflage;
The name is used by a German synthpop band, a Japanese idol group based in Nagoya whose name is officially styled as "CAMOUFLAGE", and a Swedish new wave band (later named Tapirerna).
German: The German synthpop trio Camouflage was officially formed in 1984 by vocalist Marcus Meyn and keyboardists/programmers Heiko Maile and Oliver Kreyssig. The group took first place in a radio-sponsored song contest in 1986, and before long, their debut single, "The Great Commandment," was scaling the German charts. Their full-length debut, Voices and Images, was released in 1988, reflecting the group's classic new wave synth-pop influences, but most of all Depeche Mode. 1989's Methods of Silence began to broaden Camouflage's sonic palette, yet the Depeche Mode sound still remained at the forefront. Oliver Kreyssig then left the group, leaving Maile and Meyn as a duo augmented by several studio musicians. By the time of 1991's Meanwhile, Camouflage had garnered a not insignificant following on college radio; the album moved still farther away from synthpop and incorporated greater instrumentation. However, with the advent of grunge, synthpop lost a great deal of its footing on college radio; Camouflage soon found itself without an American record deal. 1993's Bodega Bohemia, available only as an import, moved back towards synth-oriented music and took a darker tone than much of their previous work. The mostly instrumental Spice Crackers followed in 1995, after which the future of the band was cast into doubt; a best-of compilation, We Stroke the Flames, was released in Germany in 1997.
They released their comeback "Sensor" in 2003; "Relocated" in 2006.
CAMOUFLAGE is a Japanese idol group from Nagoya. They debuted at an event in October of 2012. Member Takasaki Shouko plays guitar during their live performances, and she is also well-known for her gravure work. CAMOUFLAGE sold out their first solo concert in the space of two days. Their first single "KIMOCHI Choukousoku" was released on the 3rd of March 2013, which was produced in a limited edition of 300 copies. There are currently seven CAMOUFLAGE members: Tatematsu Asu, Sakura Mone, Shiina Azusa, Takasaki Shouko, Yamashita Moe, Kamiya Runa, and Sanjou Katsuki. Three other members were once part of the group, but have since graduated: Itou Erika, Yashino Sakura, and Kawai Miori.
Aside from music activity, the members of CAMOUFLAGE are involved in various local entertainment: they have appeared in TV dramas, variety shows (including their own regularly-scheduled internet show, BILLY CAM(e)), and they also regularly host radio programs.
Swedish: Camouflage was a new wave / goth band from Gothenburg, Sweden. They released three albums in the eighties. The first one was "Camouflage" which came in 1985. Their second album was "En Förtjusande Vän" in 1986. The third was called "La La La" in 1988.
After their third album they changed their name to Tapirerna because of the German band with same name.

Heaven I Want You
Camouflage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I know that life's worth living,
Just without you,
More or less,
There's nothing left to tell.
All the years we shared our time,
All the things we had in common,
All the crisis,
We've nothing left to tell.
All excuses, all your plights,
All your nice ideas,
Effusions of your mind,
But I'll tell you for a thousand times:
I want you going down,
Just for one time.
I want you going down,
Going down to the place
Where you belong to.
When I woke up in your arms
And I felt myself, I'm freezing
That's unusual,
More or less,
There's nothing left that's warm.
All the years we shared our dreams,
Now I know it was a nightmare,
Of your loving,
More or less,
There's nothing left to loose.
All excuses, all your plights,
All your nice ideas,
Effusions of your mind
But I'll tell you for a thousand times:
I want you going down,
Just for one time.
I want you going down
Going down to the place
Where you belong to.
The lyrics to the song "Heaven I Want You" by Camouflage speak of a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is reminiscing with a sense of nostalgia about the days when he felt alive and fulfilled with his partner. However, things have taken a turn, and he now realizes that he is in a bad dream, and his partner was never the one for him. He longs for her to leave his life and go to the place where she belongs, which seems to indicate that she is a hindrance to his progress.
Throughout the song, the singer paints a vivid picture of the highs and lows of this relationship. He knows that life is worth living when he looks into her eyes. However, he also realizes that his life is better off without her. He recalls the crises that they faced together, but they have nothing left to tell each other. He remembers the dreams that they shared but now sees that they were nothing but a nightmare.
The overall theme of the song is one of disillusionment with love and relationships. The singer realizes that, at times, love can be deceitful and hurtful, and people must move on from toxic relationships. The chorus, where the singer repeatedly states, "I want you going down," reflects his desire for his partner to leave his life and move on.
