… 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.

This Day
Camouflage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that I have is a single day,
That can' t be changed.
Flower-power, deflored mine,
I' ll be amused for a certain time
And I can' t change it,
That' s all that I can see.
Nothing' s gonna knock me down,
This day,
Nothing' s gonna make the upside down.
Midday' s gone,
Half a lifetime,
I' m moving around an apple-pie,
It' s just refreshment,
Ladies, babies, having fun,
I know that I' m not the only one,
But I can' t change it,
Now it' s time to leave.
This day,
Nothing' s gonna knock me down.
This day,
Nothing' s gonna make the upside down.
The lyrics of the song "This Day" by Camouflage seem to be talking about living in the moment and embracing the present, knowing that time is fleeting and cannot be changed. The image of "swimming in a sea of light" conjures up the idea of being immersed in the beauty and wonder of life, and the line "All that I have is a single day" is a reminder that we only have a limited amount of time on this earth. The reference to "flower-power" suggests a connection to the counterculture of the 1960s, and the idea of being "deflored" implies a loss of innocence or a realization that the world is not always as peaceful or idealistic as one might hope.
Despite this, the singer seems determined to enjoy life and not let anything get them down. The chorus repeats the phrase "This day, nothing's gonna knock me down" as a mantra to remind the listener that they have the power to stay positive and resilient in the face of adversity. The verse about "moving around an apple-pie" and "ladies, babies, having fun" suggests that the singer is out and about in the world, soaking up the joys of everyday life and not taking anything for granted.
Overall, the lyrics of "This Day" encourage us to appreciate the present moment and not worry too much about the past or the future. We should live our lives to the fullest and embrace whatever comes our way, knowing that we have the strength to overcome any challenges.

Swimming in a sea of light
I am surrounded by brightness and illumination
All that I have is a single day
My only possession is this moment in time
That can't be changed
Nothing can alter the ticking clock of time
Flower-power, deflored mine
The hippie, free-spirited lifestyle of the past has been taken from me
I'll be amused for a certain time
I will find fleeting entertainment to pass the time
And I can't change it
I have no power to alter my circumstances
That's all that I can see
My view of the present moment is limited
This day
The present moment
Nothing's gonna knock me down
I will not be defeated by external circumstances
This day
The present moment
Nothing's gonna make the upside down
No obstacle will turn my world upside down
Midday's gone
Half of the present moment has passed
Half a lifetime
Half of my life has been lived
I'm moving around an apple-pie
I am aimlessly wandering, searching for something familiar and comforting
It's just refreshment
This momentary pleasure is nothing but a brief distraction
Ladies, babies, having fun
Others around me are enjoying themselves and living carefree lives
I know that I'm not the only one
I realize that others share my struggles and feelings of helplessness
But I can't change it
I am powerless to alter my current situation
Now it's time to leave
The present moment is coming to an end and I must move on
This day
The present moment
Nothing's gonna knock me down
I will not be defeated by external circumstances
This day
The present moment
Nothing's gonna make the upside down
No obstacle will turn my world upside down
