Adrian Hates was originally a classically trained guitarist and pianist, and subsequently bassist of Garden of Delight. He initiated the Diary of Dreams project in the late 1980s, taking the name from one of his early classical guitar compositions, 'Tagebuch der Träume'. The first album, 'Cholymelan', appeared in 1994 on the Dion Fortune label.
Encouraged by this success, Adrian formed his own label Accession and released a string of albums over the following years, building a loyal fanbase each step of the way. The second album 'End of Flowers' was released in 1996, expanding on the darkwave sound of the debut. 'Bird Without Wings' followed a year later, whilst the more experimental work 'Psychoma?' arrived in 1998.
The first sign of consolidation came in 1999, when a compilation album 'Moments of Bloom' appeared, containing two reworked tracks from each album. The next two albums 'One of 18 Angels' and 'Freak Perfume' (plus its companion EP 'PaniK Manifesto') made greater use of electronic rhythms, resulting in greater club play and wider recognition for the band.
Their 2004 'Nigredo' (a concept album inspired by a mythology the band designed themselves) saw a move back towards the more subtle, sparse concepts of old, but still featuring bursts of their more recent, dance-oriented sound. Songs from the Nigredo tour were later released on the live CD 'aLive' and the companion DVD 'Nine In Numbers'. The next Diary of Dreams album 'Nekrolog 43' was released in 2007, offering a greater variety of moods and concepts than previous works. Adrian Hates claims to be influenced, both lyric wise and artwork wise, by the German 1909-1935 expressionism and the "beauty of ugliness" in the course of his work.
The ninth album entitled "(if)" was released on March 13, 2009.

Requiem
Diary of Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es lebt sich leichter ohne Ziel
Ein Ringen ist jeder Tag aufs Neue
und jeder Schritt zuviel
Verloren die Anmut deiner Nähe
Mein Leben schläft mit dir
Und Perlen löschen Worte
das Augenlicht ist grau
Du bist immer hier
und ich bei dir
Du bist immer hier
Nur ich muss bleiben
Unsagbar gern wär ich jetzt bei dir
dort unten in der Kälte
die Jahre teilen wir
denn du bist bei mir
und ich bei dir
und das ist alles, was uns bleibt
Komm, sprich deine letzten Worte
damit dann endlich Stille herrscht
Unendliche Tiefe und doch leer
Ich lass dich los, mein teurer Freund
The lyrics of "Requiem 4.21" by Diary of Dreams convey feelings of longing, emptiness, and grief that come after the loss of a loved one. It explores the complexities of human emotions and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life after experiencing such a significant loss. The lyrics suggest that living can become easier when one doesn't have any specific goals, but every day can feel like a battle with each step being a struggle.
The verses talk about the loss of someone close and the pain that comes with it. The lines "Lost is the grace of your presence, my life sleeps with you" convey the deep sense of loneliness and loss that the persona feels without the loved one. The chorus repeats the phrase "You're always here, and I'm with you. You're always here, only I have to stay" which represents the idea that even though the loved one is gone, their memory and presence will always remain with the person left behind.
Overall, this song is a tribute to the memories of someone who was deeply cherished, offering a glimpse into the emotional turmoil that can come with loss, and the bittersweet comfort found in holding onto the memories of those we love.

Dayanne day
Silenciosas são todas as pessoas
A vida é mais fácil sem um objetivo
É uma luta a cada novo dia
E a cada passo longe demais
Perdeu o charme perto de você
Minha vida era dormir com você
E palavras peroladas inexistentes
Os olhos são de um cinza claro
Você está sempre aqui
E eu com você
Você está sempre aqui
Mas eu só devo permanecer
Indescritivelmente feliz se eu estivesse com você agora
Lá no frio
Dos anos que compartilhamos
Porque tu estás comigo
E eu contigo
E isso é tudo que nos resta
Venha. Fale suas últimas palavras
Para que finalmente haja silêncio
Profundidade infinita e ainda vazia
Eu deixei você ir, meu querido amigo

Revelation 12:7–9 NIV
7 And there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 And they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
God cast out all the angels from heaven, and Michael was the one that was cast down and whom is called Satan and the devil, to hide his true identity, so people worship him and are mislead into getting eaten by his children at hospitals and police stations. He was the serpent in the garden of Eden that deceived Adam. you can clearly see the symbols and pictures of Michael on all of their buildings, clothes, and in photos in all their videos. He is the false messiah, the fake Jesus, but only Jesus is Jesus. Worshippers of Michael say his name means" like God," NO! None are like God, but God himself, only the true lord is most high! none are like him! But Michael is the one claiming to be. Like Satan does. As babies do, but they don't know. angels often use different names to hide their identities as other false gods, or Greek gods, or pagan gods, to take praise away from the only God, that they are nothing like. The only way angels get people to praise them is to hurt the people and be the cure for the sudden tragedy they caused. That is NOTHING worth worshipping. But GOD IS GLORIOUS! Look up the symbols of angels, their symbols and images are everywhere! When they say in the bible, symbolism will be there DOWN-FALL.... they hint that it's the angels that fell down from heaven. The Giants of the bible are among us today, they are misled into believing they must consume human flesh to survive, and have survived underground but cannabalizing themselves. But that's not true. All they have to do is nothing, and they will return in their own body. but Michael is a baby, that is teething, he likes to eat himself, and when he gets caught doing it, he is embarrassed and says you did it. That's where the hospitals and doctors, police and their laws, function; by passing the blame if their crimes onto man and woman, but we are not like them, and their crimes are far more savage. But they don't understand, Michael is a baby. Hes very strict because he wants people like him, so he can eat himself indefinitely. But he's just a baby, gods child. He doesn't want to rule, but people worship him and he's tired and basically being kept up all night with candy and bad behavior. He wasn't really crucified on the cross, he did that himself. Because he likes to eat himself, he cooked himself and ate himself right after. That's what Michael does! He's a baby.
Look at the BLUE CROWN PASSION FLOWER and compare it to arch angel Michaels symbol. 🗡️🛡️🌋 God made that flower, EXACTLY like arch angel Michaels symbol. The police🗡️🛡️⚖️, the hospitals⚕️, the businesses, the news, the media, and every nation worships arch angel Michael, not God. Here are some of his symbols to look for 🗡️🛡️⚖️⚕️🕊️❤️🌅🌞🇺🇦. Also a grid like matrix pattern is common for him. They also worship the sun, which is related to arch angel Michael. They all have his symbol on their badges, businesses, logos, etc. Or other angels.
The bible was made in the future, and sent to to past, to prepare us for this time. the book of revelations is happening right now. The vaccine... Vaca - beast(in Latin), cine -sign (say the c with an s sound)
All blue flowers tell Arch angel Michaels story. If you search "arch angel Michael symbol" and compare his symbols to "Blue flowers, you will see that God made every blue flower EXACTLY like symbols for arch angel Michael Look at the pedals as wings. Every color a flower has represents a angel. And certain business and companies or institutions have these flowers on their properties. God tells us messages in plants, he's that intelligent and creative, that he can create life with purpose.
