The influences pulled together by the group are diverse, from Nine Inch Nails to Iron Maiden and from Combichrist to The Dillinger Escape Plan. This eclectic mix makes for a style of music which is both i
intrinsically EBM/Industrial without being generic.
In the first few months of being, Cyferdyne have built a strong following, and have played with a number of the leading UK scene acts such as Surgyn, Method Cell and Flesh Eating Foundation, aiming to continue to expose their sound to new audiences wherever possible.
Their tracks, particularly ‘Feeling’, have been circulated through a number of popular internet radio stations, and have appeared on compilation CDs for various magazines and charity organisations. Reviews from magazines such as Coma and Blackvector have cemented an extremely positive reputation for the Cyferdyne creation.
They provide an emphatic and energetic live show, combining dual vocals with live synth and guitar work. Audiences have judged the band well, and continue to be both overwhelmed and affirmative with their reaction.
The band are hopeful that this strong initial impetus will continue to build as they become a more integral part of the UK EBM/Industrial scene.
Visions
Cyferdyne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you fell
With the waves still crashing over me
I wasted all this time
Believing you were mine
Pushing me under
Pushing me down
Of you still screaming lost inside
The visions of your image
Fade away
In this silence
And I begin again today
You are void to me now
I see his poison running through you
Slipping out
To live the life you choose
Lost my faith
In this ugly mess I made
With you
This time I'm losing,
A hold of you
My grip on your hand is failing me
Forgetting all the times
I thought that you were mine
Pushing me under
Pushing me down
Pushing me under
Pushing me down
Pushing me under
Pushing me down
Pushing me under
Pushing me down
"I feel like destroying something beautiful"
The visions creeping through my mind
Of you still screaming lost inside
The visions of your image
Pushing me under
In this silence
Pushing me down
The visions creeping through my mind
Of you still screaming lost inside
The visions of your image
Fade away
In this silence
And I begin again today
The lyrics of Cyferdyne's song Visions express the feelings of pain and betrayal of the singer after being deceived by someone they loved. The song describes the singer's struggle to let go of their lover and the haunting memories that continue to plague them. The opening lines indicate that the singer has fallen hard for someone who has betrayed them, and the waves crashing over them symbolize the overwhelming emotions that they are experiencing. The singer emphasizes that they believed that the other person was theirs to keep, but they were constantly being pushed under and held down.
The chorus speaks of the different visions that the singer has. They can still hear their former lover screaming, as if they are lost inside. The image of the lover begins to fade away in the singer's mind, and they are left with silence. The singer sees their lover as poison and feels that they have lost their faith in the relationship they had. The lyrics "this time, I'm losing a hold of you" indicate that the singer is trying to let go of their former lover, but it is a difficult process.
The final lines of the song, "I feel like destroying something beautiful," suggest that the singer is willing to cause destruction in their surroundings because of the pain they are feeling. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus and emphasizes that the singer is starting anew.
