">>Dear fans, dear friends,
As a band we reached a point in our career where it is time for us to start something new.
We decided to discontinue working as Cinema Bizarre from now on and take a break beginning in 2010.
We want to say thank you for all the faithful and devoted loyalty and we are grateful for getting the chances able to work with wonderful and talented people.
The results are two albums that made us travel the whole world to see your faces and play our songs.
We look back in delight, are happy to be the best German newcomer outside Germany, we like to think about all the concerts we played.
The last year was a huge success for Cinema Bizarre.
Some say one should leave off with an appetite.
All's well that ends well - we'll meet again.
Stay true to yourself.
Love, Cinema Bizarre<<"

Blasphemy
Cinema Bizarre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When someone fills your heart instead
Your soul's on fire
All your needs
How can they call it blasphemy
Love is nature
Saw you praying for salvation
That it's you...
My new religion is you...
They say this love is blasphemy
It is blasphemy
It is blasphemy
But my new religion is you...
Faith is crime
When all you love is all blind
Your spirit's bleeding
Incomplete
Blame forever reality
Love is nature
Saw you breaking with tradition
In this God forsaken land
That it's you...
My new religion is you...
They say this love is blasphemy
It is blasphemy
It is blasphemy
But my new religion is you...
That it's you...
(Blasphemy)
(God is dead)
(Blasphemy)
That it's you...
My new religion is you...
They say this love is blasphemy
It is blasphemy
It is blasphemy
But my new religion is you...
That it's you...
The song "Blasphemy" by Cinema Bizarre is a powerful love song that challenges traditional religious beliefs. The opening line "God is dead" is a reference to Friedrich Nietzsche's famous quote that suggests that mankind has killed God by no longer believing in him or following his teachings. The song then goes on to suggest that love is the new deity that people worship instead, and that this love is natural and beautiful. The lyrics urge us to embrace love as a new religion, even though it may be considered blasphemous by traditional religious institutions.
The second verse of the song reflects on the pain and suffering that can be caused by blind faith and that instead of finding solace in religion, love can provide the same sense of fulfillment and purpose. The song argues that the notion of blasphemy is a construct of society's conservative values and that love transcends these societal constructs.
Overall, the song offers a powerful message of love and acceptance in a world where traditional religious beliefs can often cause division and conflict.

So many memories. Every time I hear it I just get such a gut wrenching feeling and my mind switches right back to the dew mornings and musty feeling in the air in the evening hours , the grey skies, the lingering scent of aqua net and hair dye, the feeling of change in me...I miss it all yet look back on it as the darkest time in my life...♥ CB has many memories for me. But mainly this song of them all<3
