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.
Me Myself and I
Century Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can look in my eyes, but these eyes don't tell the truth
From now till the end of time
From now till the end
Me, myself and I - can you take my hand and be a part of me
Me, myself and I - can you be my friend and set me free
You can break my self-esteem, if you want to break it
And you can always pray for me, do you want to pray?
From now till the end of time
From now till the end
Me, myself and I - can you take my hand and be a part of me
Me, myself and I - can you be my friend and set me free
Me, myself and I
I can hear my breath and the air flowing through my veins
I can feel my hate and the fear surrounding me
From now till the end of time
From now till the end
The opening lines "You can hear my voice, but the words don't belong to me, You can look in my eyes, but these eyes don't tell the truth" indicate the sense of a fractured identity. The singer recognizes that they are not their own person and the words they speak do not truly represent what they feel in their heart. The line "these eyes don't tell the truth" suggests that the singer is not honest with themselves and perhaps with others around them.
The chorus "Me, myself and I - can you take my hand and be a part of me, Me, myself and I - can you be my friend and set me free, Me, myself and I" emphasizes the idea of self-discovery and the journey to find one's true self. The singer is searching for someone to help them reconnect with who they truly are and to set them free from the prison of their own confusion and doubt.
In the second verse, the lyrics "You can break my self-esteem, if you want to break it, And you can always pray for me, do you want to pray?" suggest that the singer feels vulnerable and helpless. They are almost inviting others to tear them down and destroy their self-esteem, and they ask if anyone is willing to pray for them in their time of need. This shows a sense of desperation and a need for support and guidance.
Overall, "Me Myself And I" is a song about the struggle to understand and accept oneself. The singer is lost, confused, and searching for guidance on their journey to self-discovery.
