Melancholy, coming to terms with the past, observing society, philosophical ways of thinking about the ordinary. These are the main topics of the lyrics partly German, partly English and occasionally both at the same time or even none at all which alter in level of complexity and emphasize Charletts skill of reflection. Impressions, sombre thoughts and dark secrets, luggage which all of us carry to some extend, worlds askew, working ever so slightly different. The music keeps following the plot and in this manner creates a bubble of thought for each song to exist in.
Behind a face is an ever changing debut, where dark and melancholic atmosphere may change to a powerful chorus in the wink of an eye. There is not one single stopgap, each song has its own unique raison dêtre. If one listened to any one song and thought the others would resemble it, errs. Variability and the experimental mingling of different styles are what keeps our creativity on the go. By and large its mainly Veynas very own style of voice, which defines the character of the band and its means of recognition.
For Veyna it all began as kind of a one-woman-show. After several attempts to start projects with various fellow musicians, which failed due to lack of enthusiasm or taste too, she decided to pay her way and have a shot at the songwriting part all on her own. With creativity and a vengeance she set off composing and singing. Obviously meaning business, for given some time quite a notable amount of song-pieces had piled. Then she met Alex, an enthusiastic and all the more creative guitar-player whose roots lay in the metal and alternative sector, but who was very much attracted to the dark scene too. Sure enough they shortly began their first common projects. The seed of what was to become Charlett Schwarz was sown.
The songs - as mentioned for the most part of Veynas doing - gained even more colour and quality when Marc joined the band. A talented all-round musician who added to the touch last not least by the sensitive piano passages. Summing all up, Lestarias violin, time and by leaving the grounds of the afore experienced, seasoned the dish. The band had found its fourth member, just in time for taking the last steps of finishing the debut.
After mixing the album at the MoBuRec-Studio, it swiftly became clear that Charlett had enthralled yet another victim. dB.uballakov, the sound engineer, joined lines to make sure the beat wouldnt be the computers part alone after all.
Right now the band is fervently working on the live-versions to be up on stage in hopefully no time. There is still much unused songmaterial - both old and new and they are ready and set, so they are peeking forward to a second album a wee bit too...
Black Hole
Charlett Schwarz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Noiseless and calm
The demon grows on
And covers each laugh
My heartbeat turns to pain
Breathing to strain
Dirty rain is dripping down my face
That darkness in my soul
And I fall, and I’m sick
Life is a bitch!
You come to me
Into my soul
And I get lost in a hole
You come to me in the same old rut
In the sly
Yearning paints
Another picture of life in my mind
Than his words
Sow doubts and signify
‘You could fall’
Too much to bear
I can't stand
Once again
The dark’s increasing, I’m blind
I can barely keep me afloat
Forcing myself to carry on
The calm’s increasing to a kind
Of an imminent storm
Waiting to discharge
Good sense is on the wane
In Charlett Schwarz's song "Black Hole," the lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and darkness. The first few lines describe a feeling of stillness and a slow build-up to something ominous. The lines "Wakefull of dark, Noiseless and calm, The demon grows on" create a sense of foreboding and an impending sense of danger. The lyrics then describe a feeling of sadness and pain: "My heartbeat turns to pain, Breathing to strain" – This line describes the physical manifestations of pain and stress that a person may experience during a difficult time. The next lines "Dirty rain is dripping down my face, And I know," create an image of someone crying in the rain, reflecting the sadness and anguish they feel.
As the song progresses, the lyrics further highlight the feelings of sadness and despair. The line "Life is a bitch!" shows the frustration and feeling of helplessness one may feel during tough times. However, the song is not completely dark, as there is a hint of hope in the lines "You come to me, Into my soul, And I get lost in a hole." The imagery of getting lost in a hole suggests that one can lose themselves in their pain, but there may be hope for a way out.
The lyrics of "Black Hole" are open to interpretation, and some may see it as a song about depression or struggling with inner demons. The song also highlights the idea that even during the darkest times, there may be a glimmer of hope.
