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.

Darling Violetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen the scenery for so long
I've made my bed, I've made my choice
There's nothing left for me
I'm in a tunnel
And I know there is a light
At the end
But I can't see it
I am floating on a cloud in the sky
And I am inside
Warm but not like lying in the sunlight
And I am inside
I'm tired
I'm tired
I loved you once, I don't know why
Everything never is quite enough
It may have been blind, but it was mine
Is there a thing as true love
Dear belladonna come
Take me home back to sleep
Don't bring me down
The milk sugar's sweet
(CHORUS)
I am floating on a cloud in the sky
And I am inside
Warm but not like lying in the sunlight
And I am inside
I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired
(CHORUS)
I am floating on a cloud in the sky
And I am inside
Warm but not like lying in the sunlight
And I am inside
I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm tired
I'm floating on a cloud in the sky
In "Cocoon" by Darling Violetta, the singer is tired and feeling lost in life. They describe an emptiness that they have been experiencing for a long time and acknowledge their own responsibility in the choices that brought them to this point. The singer is in a tunnel, knowing that there is a light at the end of it, but unable to see it. This sense of being lost is further emphasized when the singer talks about feeling like they are floating on a cloud in the sky.
The song's chorus repeats the idea of being inside something warm and comforting, but not like lying in sunlight. The repetition of the phrase "I'm tired" throughout the song describes the singer's exhaustion with life in general. The song ends on the same line as the chorus, with the singer still feeling like they are floating on a cloud in the sky, but still searching for something more.
Overall, this song is a sad and reflective piece about feeling lost and alone. It speaks to the universal feeling of wanting to find a place of comfort and peace, and the struggle that can come with that search.
