Days Of Jupiter was founded in January 2010 by Jan Hilli and Jörgen Hellström (formerly Trace of lords) along with drummer Magnus Larsson (formerly Destynation). After a few line-up changes, they formed a solid group that could provide the band with the vision of a world-class hard rock/metal band. 2010 was a year of hard work, which resulted in many live concerts in Sweden with fantastic audience reception, as well as second place in Sweden's largest competition for unsigned bands. They began recording their debut album "Secrets Brought to Life" with renowned producer Patrik Frisk (Corroded, Takada, Crash Diet) at Sidelake studios. The album was released in March 2012, shortly after the release of the single "Bleed", and received great reviews. As a result of the album's success, the band played shows at festivals such as Sweden Rock Festival, Live at Heart, Nordic Rock and Rock Out Wild.

Days of Jupiter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through you I am
All that's left for you to choose
From you I take
The breath you make
Through you I have
No one else to use
From you what's left
It's time to face reality
When I was hanging by a thread I knew
That we can always change who we wanna be
And death will always find me!
I reach out!
To reveal my self in front of you
I'll be there behind these eyes you never knew
I reach out!
To light the dark that you go through
And when your heart is to numb to care
I'll reach out
I'll reach for you!
I
In you I see
All the things I cannot change
From you I take
The tears you fake
Through you I have
No one else to hate
In you what's left
I will not break
It's time to face reality
When I was hanging by a thread I knew
That we can always change who we wanna be
And death will always find me
I... I reach out
I... I give my life
I!
I reach out for you
I... I give my life for you
I reach out
To reveal my self in front of you
I'll be there behind these eyes you never knew
I reach out
To light the dark that you go through
And when your heart is to numb to care
I'll reach out
I'll reach for you!
The song "I" by Days of Jupiter is a powerful and emotional piece that explores themes of sacrifice, facing reality, and the importance of human connection. The opening stanza of the song speaks to the singer's dependence on another person, who is the only one left for them to choose. Through this person, the singer takes their breath and has no one else to use. However, in the next line, the singer reveals a sense of resignation as they state that they will forsake what's left from this individual. This implies that the relationship may be one-sided and unsustainable.
As the chorus begins, the singer admits that it's time to face reality. This line could be interpreted as them coming to terms with the fact that the aforementioned relationship is unhealthy or toxic. The next few lines suggest that the singer has faced difficult times in the past and that death is a looming presence in their life. However, they assert that people can always make changes to be who they want to be. The following lines repeat the chorus and emphasize the theme of the song: the singer is reaching out to someone they care about and is willing to sacrifice for them.
The final verse of the song reveals that the individual the singer is singing to is someone they cannot change. They see things they cannot change in this person but are still dependent on them. However, in this person's pain, the singer has no one else to hate. The words imply that the two people have been through trying times together and that they have been able to find solace in each other despite their differences.
