History
Formation and early years
Cygnosic first appeared as a music act in late 2006 on MySpace.[1] In 2007, the band was discovered by Brandon L. Clark, manager of the Industrial Music Label BLC Productions based in Little Rock, Arkansas. He offered Cygnosic an album deal. During 2008, Georg Psaroudakis recorded his first album with sound engineer Dimitris Douvras of Lunatech Sounds Studio.[citation needed] In early 2009, the debut album A Deity In Pain was released and distributed by Metropolis Records of in North America and by E-Noxe in Europe. After a year, BLC Productions terminated its operations and released its artists from their contracts.[citation needed]
During 2010, Cygnosic started performing electronic concerts around Greece while writing his second album. While samples of the second album were sent to all major Dark Electro/Industrial labels, Cygnosic got rediscovered by Jamie Nova, manager of DWA (Digital World Audio, former Deathwatch Asia), an electronic music label based in Osaka, Japan.[2] After an introductory EP release,[3] the second album titled Fallen was released in 2011.[4]
Later
In 2013, the third studio album titled Fire And Forget was released in two versions, a European one by the German label Black Rain and an international one by DWA.[5] Cygnosic started touring in Russia, United Kingdom and the rest of the Europe to promote the album.
In 2014, Psaroudakis returned to the studio to write his fourth eponymous album, a double album consisting of one electronic set and one metal set. The metal set included metal versions of selected electro tracks picked from his earlier albums. Psaroudakis played the drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals. The electronic set was released prior to the full album version. Orkus magazine printed 62,000 copies in its twentieth anniversary issue.[6] In 2015, an EP titled The Key was released in vinyl.[7] In 2016, after a series of European concerts, the fifth album, Siren, was in process with the support of a crowdfunding campaign. It was released in DigiBook in 2017.[8][9][10]
Cygnosic has done remixes for other bands and was remixed by other bands more than 90 times.[citation needed] It has performed in concerts around the world and appeared in festivals including WGT (Leipzig (Germany)),[11] Summer Darkness (Utrecht Netherlands),[12] Resistanz (Sheffield UK).

The Key
CygnosiC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the day we met
Don’t say I don’t regret
I know I should have paid more
For the might and the pride
With faith inside my heart
As the key
Inside a hole
Being blind - it is a fact
For every former act
It would be easier to run
For the might and the pride
With faith inside my heart
As the key
The opening lines of CygnosiC's "The Key" evoke feelings of longing, regret, and loneliness. The singer of the song describes coming alone, reminding listeners of the day they met someone significant to them. They acknowledge that they should have "paid more," likely referring to giving more effort and attention to the relationship. Perhaps the singer realized too late how valuable the connection was.
The chorus then introduces the concepts of might, pride, faith, and the titular key. The singer seems to imply that these elements were key to their relationship, but it's not clear whether they believe this to be a positive or negative influence. When the song continues, however, the mood becomes darker, with the line "Being blind - it is a fact." The singer is trapped in some way, unable to see the future or the path forward, hence the imagery of a hole. They consider the possibility of running away but seem to realize that the same issues will follow them wherever they go. The song ends on a melancholy note of resignation, suggesting that the singer has accepted their fate, for better or worse.
Overall, the song's lyrics are evocative and mysterious, leaving a lot open to interpretation.
Line by Line Meaning
I came alone
I arrived without any company
Just like the day we met
It was similar to the day of our initial encounter
Don’t say I don’t regret
Please don't deny my feelings of remorse
I know I should have paid more
I acknowledge that I should have given more effort
For the might and the pride
Seeking power and arrogance
With faith inside my heart
Believing strongly in oneself
As the key
As the means to achieve one's goals
Inside a hole
Trapped in a negative situation
Being blind - it is a fact
Unable to see the truth is a reality
For every former act
For every past action or decision
It would be easier to run
Escaping would seem like the simpler option
