Die Form's songs are erotic and death-obsessed. They have been able to impose years after years a music and an image of the most completed, in the practice of the "multimedia intervention" (music, performance, photography and cinema/video).
Since 1978, besides multiple participations in international projects, about thirty albums, many video clips & films and two art books allow to appreciate their particular universe : industrial and organic electronic, tortured neo-classic and experimental constructions to more accessible compositions (based on rhythms, cuts, sampling, treated voices and sequences). Always motivated by passions, Philippe F. and Eliane P. exhibit the ultimate beauty of love, at the boundary of the interdicts.
"Out-standard constructions where is added a mechanical dimension to the sensuality of the female voices and melodies."

Die Form Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I would like so much to awaken
Under water they glide in silence
Between the fingers of glaucous seaweeds
Between the fingers of glaucous seaweeds
Which shelter larvae and relics
Sleeping lake, two way mirror,
In which I lose and erase myself
In which I lose and erase myself
Somewhere a dead child's maimed body
Gnawed to the bone by invisible jaws
Somewhere a headless woman
Emptied of her organs
Somewhere a newborn child half human
Half dog,
Devoured by his likes
The moon expires mauve trails,
Faceless, two way mirror,
In which I lose and erase myself
In which I lose and erase myself
Where I live slumber the fairies
That I would like so much to awaken
The black stones of my dreams
Move in silence
The opening stanza of Die Form's "Feerie," reveals a desire to awaken the fairies that are slumbering where they live. The singer navigates a dreamscape that is suspended in a dualistic space where the real and surreal are intertwined. The fairies are submerged beneath the water, hiding among the glaucous seaweed that protects them from view. The lyrical language creates an ethereal and fantastical atmosphere. The singer purposefully wants to awaken the fairies that sleep beneath. This act could be symbolic of the singer's desire to reconnect with their sense of wonder, magic, and innocence.
As the verses progress, the lyrics take on a darker tone. The second stanza describes a violent, disturbing scene, where a dead child's body has been consumed by invisible jaws, and a headless woman's insides have been emptied. The imagery is grotesque, presenting a world that is seemingly full of unimaginable horror, and that juxtaposes starkly with the first verse's dreamlike and soothing imagery. The third stanza, however, suggests that this violent and unsettling world exists only in the singer's imagination, where the conflation of reality and dreams feeds an entangled darkness.
Overall, "Feerie" presents as a haunting and powerful song about the human experience. The dreamlike quality and lyrical language draw in the listener, and the dark imagery and violence cause the listener to face the darker sides of a collective human psyche.
