Dawn, melodic black metal band from Sweden:
The history of Dawn goes back to 1990 when founder and guitarist Fredrik SΓΆderberg left his former band, Obduracy. (Even earlier than that, back in 1985-1986, Fredrik also was a member of CRANIUM, who later changed their name to LEGION). Hailing from LinkΓΆping, Sweden and therefore being close friends with death metal cult band SEANCE, it was not long before Patrik Jensen (today in The Haunted and Witchery) recommended a new guitarist to Fredrik: Andreas Fullmestad (formerly in MORGUE). Fredrik and Andreas got together and the unit was completed by drummer Karsten Larsson and bassist Dennis Karlsson (both ex-MORTIFIED members). The final addition to this early Dawn line-up was Henke Forss (FUNERAL FEAST, IN FLAMES), providing the band with death growls from hell.

Dawn, Progressive Rock band from Switzerland
Dawn creates its own music with a vintage sound, inspired by great british bands.
Between 2005 and 2006, Dawn played several live performances: opening band for Kansas and Fish, "Montreux Prog Nights" and Progsol festivals.
Recorded in 2007, Loneliness is the first official record of Dawn. The album is about life: dawn and dusk; ups and downs. This record is well balanced with short tracks, like "Dusk" and "Loneliness", as well as longer ones like "The Story of Nobody". Building on its favourite "vintage sound" (mellotron, old Korg ...), the band has found a style of its own, with clear melody, complex rhythms, moods....

Carmen
Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have been in your tender sight
You were a woman
Was a I men
You eyes hesitated
I took your hand
Darling I love you, too much to love you
Uh-huh Carmen, I put you on the mountain so high above me
Carmen, or maybe had I touch you
But Carmen, my love made you untouchable
How could you love me?
Days have come and days have gone
I got someone and we get on
Tell her I love her
During the night, but it's just a share
I'm holding tight
I never had you and I'll never have you
Oh Carmen, I'll make you more than human
Uh-huh Carmen, I'll put you on the mountain so high above you
Carmen, or maybe I had touch you
But Carmen, my love made you untouchable
How could you love me?
Oh darling, I love you
Too much to love you
Oh Carmen, I make you more than human
Un-huh Carmen, I put you on the mountain so high above me
Carmen, or maybe had I touch you
But Carmen, my love made you untouchable
The lyrics from the song Carmen by Dawn talk about a man's love for a woman named Carmen. The first verse refers to Carmen's history with men and how the singer was just one of many in her past. However, despite this, he took her hand and fell in love with her. He declares his love for her, as shown in the line, "Darling I love you, too much to love you." In the chorus, the singer claims that he has made Carmen more than human and put her on a mountain high above him. He sees Carmen as untouchable, and while he wishes he could touch her, his love for her has made her unattainable.
The second verse continues the theme of unrequited love, with the singer saying he has moved on and found someone else. However, he still thinks of Carmen and declares his love for her during the night. He acknowledges that he never had her and never will. In the chorus, he repeats his claim that he has made Carmen more than human and put her on a pedestal. He knows that his love for her has made her untouchable and wonders how he could love someone who will never love him back.
Overall, the lyrics illustrate a love that is unattainable and has put the object of the singer's affection on a pedestal. The singer recognizes that his love for Carmen has made her untouchable, but he cannot help his feelings for her.
