In 2000, Darling Violetta released The Kill You EP, and in 2003, the album Parlour.
In 2005, the band composed an extended version of the Angel theme called "The Sanctuary Extended Remix", featured on the soundtrack of the series Live Fast - Die Never.
The style of the band is recognizable for the voice of singer Cami Elen (compared by some critics to that of PJ Harvey), the use of cello and violin, specially in their early compositions, and lyrics charged with sexual innuendos, dark metaphors and goth references.
Darling Violetta also wrote and produced a song for Activision for their game, "Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption", titled "I Want to Kill You". The meaning of the song has been debated since its release, but most people tend to agree the song is about a ghoul missing her vampiric master. They also wrote another song for the Masquerade Universe which was in "Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines" entitled "Smaller God".
Darling Violetta have their own website at http://www.darlingvioletta.com and are currently working on their Fourth Album along with a DVD.
Beautiful
Darling Violetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your moonlight lays down with my soul
Sunflowers at 2am
The soulmate Ill never see again
How did it feel to belong to me
Laying in soft lavender
Were still one love its evident
I'm running out of innocence
Well be together you whispered someday
What makes you think the little girl will wait
If you weren't ever coming back
Why didn't you just tell me that
Dressed in sex and stardust lies
Subconscious dreams are so unkind
Your eyes speak so silently
They tell me what you want from me
There is no more I can do
Ill always be inside of you
Icicle dreams are the memories gone by
Have you ever seen a lullaby on fire
If you weren't ever coming back
Why didn't you just tell me that
Dressed in sex and stardust lies
Subconscious dreams are so unkind
Sometimes I hear your voice
Sometimes I hear your voice
In "Beautiful," Darling Violetta tells the story of a love that was beautiful but ultimately unfulfilled. The lyrics paint a picture of a romantic relationship that was so intense that it made the singer feel beautiful. The moonlight that lays down with her soul and the sunflowers at 2 am show the intensity of the emotions shared by the two lovers. However, the love affair falls short of expectations, as the singer realizes that the soulmate she loved so much will never return. The romantic memories of belonging and romance have haunted the singer so much that she still hears his voice sometimes. The song also delves into the idea that promises can only last for so long, and when they are broken, they can leave one person feeling betrayed, while the other is merely a memory.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of innocence lost, as the singer realizes that she too is running out of her innocence while her lover runs out of promises. The erotic nature of their relationship is highlighted in the line, "Dressed in sex and stardust lies," but instead of being a pure love affair, it ends in betrayal and heartbreak. The memories that seemed so beautiful and pure become icicle dreams as the singer tries to move on from the relationship.
In "Beautiful," Darling Violetta explores the intensity of love and its aftermath. The song highlights the idea that relationships can be beautiful and intense, but love does not always last forever. The song's melancholy tone captures the heartbreak of a relationship that was so beautiful and intense but ultimately never fully realized.

You make me feel so beautiful
Your love and attention make me feel amazing and desirable
Your moonlight lays down with my soul
Your spirit and essence are perfectly in tune with mine
Sunflowers at 2am
A peaceful and beautiful moment shared together in the middle of the night
The soulmate I'll never see again
Referring to a lost love, a true match that was lost and will never be seen again
How did it feel to belong to me
Asking a former lover how it felt to be a part of the singer's life
Laying in soft lavender
Recalling a peaceful moment of relaxation and intimacy
We're still one love its evident
Despite the separation, there is still love between the two
You're running out of promises
Your commitments are losing their meaning and value
I'm running out of innocence
I am losing my purity and naivety due to the actions of the other person
We'll be together you whispered someday
A promise of future togetherness made by the other person
What makes you think the little girl will wait
Challenging the other person's assumption that the singer will wait patiently for their return
If you weren't ever coming back, Why didn't you just tell me that
Expressing frustration and hurt over being misled by the other person's false promises
Dressed in sex and stardust lies
The other person's false promises and allure are compared to seductive illusions
Subconscious dreams are so unkind
Dreams and memories of the other person continue to haunt and hurt the singer
Your eyes speak so silently, They tell me what you want from me
Despite the lack of communication, the other person's eyes reveal their intentions and desires
There is no more I can do, I'll always be inside of you
The bond and connection between the two will never fully disappear, even if they are separated
Icicle dreams are the memories gone by
Memories of the other person are now frozen and distant, as if they are things of the past
Have you ever seen a lullaby on fire
A poetic and surreal image suggesting the destruction and loss of something beautiful
Sometimes I hear your voice
The presence and memory of the other person's voice remains with the singer
Sometimes I hear your voice
Repeating the previous line to emphasize its impact and lingering presence
