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."
Fossilized Light
Die Form Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the spider's threads are interlaced.
Golden gleams raise the skin of water, the roots grow in shadow.
Noises and breaths crack and mourn while nothing seems to move.
In my heart arise icy reflections,
Falling dreams, falling lives.
In my heart arise strange gloomy feelings,
Everywhere my gaze gets lost, bewitched by this deforming mirror.
Time died out, my acrid blood spills under the ground.
In your heart, arise icy reflections anywhere, falling dreams, falling lives...
In your heart, arise strange gloomy feelings, falling loves, anywhere.
Deep down inside my eye, some fragments of fossil light
Scrape my memory.
Fear has vanished, only remains the moment
The lyrics of Die Form's song, Fossilized Light, reveal a sense of abandonment and despair in a forgotten place where machines have ceased to function. The setting of the song is depicted as an eerie and solitary environment where the only visible sign of life is the interlaced threads of a spider. The golden glimmers on the surface of water cause the growing roots to appear as though they are in shadow. The surrounding silence is broken by mournful noises and breaths, but there are no visible movements. The singer's heart is filled with feelings of despair and loss as he witnesses the dream and lives of others falling apart. The song hints at a sense of hopelessness where memories of the past linger on, and fear is replaced by acceptance of the present moment.
The words "Fossilized Light" represents memories that have been preserved, yet their meaning lost or distorted, as memories are often subject to interpretation and change as time passes. The use of the term "fossilized" implies that these memories are ancient and have survived their time, but they are still fragile and easily broken. Furthermore, the use of the term "light" suggests that the memories were once bright, but now they are dull and fading. The theme of light is present throughout the song and is an essential element in describing the state of the singer's mind.
In the last verse of the song, the singer suggests that fear has vanished, and he has accepted the present moment. He has found solace in the remnants of the past, and he can now let go of his despair. Overall, the song Fossilized Light is an introspective piece that reflects on the fragility of memory and the transience of emotions.
