… 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.

These Eyes
Camouflage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
like rock and darkness
they are as blooming trees
sever with strength and green
the way they look at you
will just reflect yourself again.
These eyes are different
these smiles are faking
they try to hide what's deep inside
These eyes are seas that flow
and foam in blue
they are as blossims soft
wide open too
and what they give to you
is beauty just before they die
In "These Eyes" by Camouflage, the singer describes eyes that are like stones - hard, unfeeling, and dark. However, they are also like blooming trees, reflecting power and growth. The way these eyes look at you will show you a reflection of yourself. These eyes are different, sometimes changing color into grey, and the smiles they give off are often fake, hiding what lies deep inside. They are also like seas, unpredictable and ever-changing, shining with beauty before their death.
The lyrics seem to be describing a person who presents themselves as cold and unfeeling on the surface, but also harbors a softer, more vulnerable side that they try to keep hidden. The imagery of stones and darkness suggests someone who may be closed off emotionally, perhaps as a result of past hurt or trauma. However, the references to blooming trees and blossoms suggest that there is still potential for growth and healing, and that despite their hard exterior, this person still has the capacity for beauty and tenderness.
Overall, "These Eyes" is a song about the complexity of human emotion and the struggle to reconcile our inner selves with the image we present to the world.
