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."

The lyrics to Die Form's song "In The Depths Of Mania" describes various fetishes and sexual desires that are considered taboo in society. The song lists out different terms that refer to specific fetishes such as Voraphilia (the desire to eat or be eaten by another person), Pictophilia (the attraction to graphic or obscene pictures), Necrophilia (sexual attraction to dead bodies), and so on. These fetishes are often associated with mental illness as they are not considered normal and healthy behavior.
The song brings attention to how these fetishes arise from a deep-seated psychological issue as they represent a need for control, power, and dominance. The lyrics suggest that the person who has these fetishes is struggling with their own inner demons and using these fetishes as a form of escape. The song's title "In The Depths Of Mania" further emphasizes how these desires come from a place of madness where the person has lost control over their desires and their mental well-being.
