And... Soul it Goes
3. CENTURY was created in August 1995 as Side project of CREMATORY's Drummer Markus Juellich, Gernot Leinert (keyboards) and Michael Rohr (vocals). After a two-year operating phase one in December 1997 with CREMATORY's producer, Gerhard Magin, into the Commusication Tonstudios, they recorded their first demo.
The demo received maximum notes from the press and numerous offers from disk companies. Melting melancholic music with ear worm melodies, their sound has its roots in the Gothic Pop and Dark Wave with main influences of the 80's. That mix from Wave/Pop of the 80's, mixed with modern keyboard elements and driving guitars, is the concept of CENTURY. Their lyrics are the processing of very personal feelings of singer Michael Rohr. The texts figure as mirrors of the self experience and are, in conformity with the music, which listeners tune thoughtfully.
In October 1998 CENTURY signed the first disk contract with USG record. "The Secret Inside" was taken up and mixed in December 98 and January 99 in the Commusication Tonstudios with producer Gerhard Magin (CREMATORY, Theatre OF Tragedy). As guest musicians it succeeded to engage even Markus Tiedemann as guitarist for the poppier elements, against what Kristian Kohlmannslehner was responsible for the heavy guitars.
In April 1999 the Debut album "The Secret Inside" was world-wide published. Around itself the band also toured Germany, as HIM's special guests, to present CENTURY. In the interval May-September of 1999, they supported both Crematory and PARADISE LOST's European tours very successfully.
Which originally began Gernot Leinert (keyboard) and Michael with Markus Juellich (Drums), Rohr(Vocals) as a trio with various guest musicians, became, in time, and particularly because of the successful tours, a complete band, with the addition of Kristian Kohlmannslehner (guitar), Guido Holzmann(bass) and Andreas Neuderth (Drums), a full-fledged band.
Due to the dissolution of USG records in December 1999, CENTURY were left contract-free and signed in August 2000 with Drakkar Entertaiment.
Publication date for the album "Melancholia" was in 19.02.2001.
In February 2001 CENTURY functioned as support for CREMATORY on their anniversary route and represented the songs of "Melancholia" impressively on the boards.
In the summer 2001 various festivals and open air concerts were successfully completed. In March 2002 one began with the letter of new Songs, which are still to be published.
Due to large demand and the constantly growing fan support, their out of print debut album "the secret inside", which was no longer available due to the dissolution of the label at that time, USG, was digitally remastered an released with new artwork.
Jane
Century Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've grow too fast
I lost the time
Jane, you're counting out your age
I read the signs like a mental sign
Jane, impossible to spell your name
Jane, the far away wind to touch
And disappear in to love
you'll never know
I told you so, Jane,
I never really
could be near (you)
Oh, baby Jane, is it a
passion or a play or
just a name?
Nothing's impossible today
Lost in paradise I can't solve survive
Only half of life, Jane, the far away
wind to touch and
disappear in to love
Jane, I'm talking in your sleep
you'll never know
I told you so, Jane,
I never really
could be near you
Oh, baby Jane, is it a
passion or a play or
just a name?
Nothing's impossible today
Lost in paradise I can't solve survive
Only half of love
Jane, my heart is on the line
Another day, another time
Jane, my prayers are only words
in black and white
from left to right, Jane, I
never really could be
near you .
Wo, oh, Jane, I guess you'll never,
know my name
Jane... Oh, Oh Jane...

Jane, I'm talking in your sleep
Jane, I speak to you when you are unconscious
You'll never know
You will never be aware
I told you so, Jane
I have already expressed my foresight to you, Jane
I never really could be near (you)
I was never truly able to be close to you
Oh, baby Jane, is it a passion or a play or just a name?
Oh, beloved Jane, is our connection driven by deep emotion, a mere amusement, or merely a label?
Nothing's impossible today
In the present era, everything seems attainable
Lost in paradise I can't solve survive
Feeling disoriented and unable to fully thrive in a heavenly setting
Only half of life, Jane, the far away wind to touch
Merely experiencing a fraction of life, Jane, like trying to reach a distant breeze
And disappear into love
And vanish into the realm of love
Jane, I'm talking in your sleep
Jane, I communicate with you while you are in a state of slumber
You'll never know
You will never be aware

Only half of love
Only experiencing a fraction of the love that is possible
Jane, my heart is on the line
Jane, my emotions and vulnerability are fully exposed
Another day, another time
Every day brings a new opportunity
Jane, my prayers are only words in black and white
Jane, my prayers hold no deeper meaning beyond being written down
From left to right, Jane
In a linear fashion, Jane
I never really could be near you
I was never truly able to be close to you
Wo, oh, Jane, I guess you'll never know my name
Wo, oh, Jane, I suppose you will never be aware of my existence
Jane... Oh, Oh Jane...
Jane... Oh, Oh Jane...
