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."
Psychic Colours
Die Form Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Others close in the never-ending night,
When I close some doors,
Others open in the dawning day.
Bluish rain, blackened blood, azure without silvering,
Dark mauve destiny, scarlet orchid flesh.
Atrous tear, gridelin sea, pale diffused reflection,
When I open some doors,
Others close in the never-ending night,
When I close some doors,
Others open in the dawning day.
Flammeous sky, melanic hand, starless floating body,
Ever unbridled pleasure, haematic rigid phallus.
Cinereous threatening cloud, cyaneaous claw-like nails,
Faraway spasma, faint scream, leucochroic fluids.
Floating body in the never-ending night.
Viridian shivers in the dawning day.
The lyrics of Die Form's song "Psychic Colours" are cryptic and elusive, inviting interpretation and analysis. In essence, the song expresses a sense of duality, suggesting that the opening and closing of doors may have different outcomes depending on the time of day or one's state of being. The first stanza suggests that for every door opened, another one may close, especially in the "never-ending night," a metaphorical allusion to life's darker moments. Conversely, when one closes doors, others may open, especially in the "dawning day," suggesting a new beginning, a fresh start, or a sense of hope.
The second stanza delves into an array of vivid and visceral colors and sensations, which add to the song's overall enigma. The lyrics combine contrasting colors like "bluish rain" with "blackened blood," and "azure" with "scarlet." The colors are evocative, suggesting multiple layers of meaning. For example, "dark mauve destiny" may suggest a sense of fate or predetermined outcomes weighed down by melancholy. Meanwhile, "haematic rigid phallus" conjures up sexual imagery, as well as a sense of rigidness or conformity. The final two lines of the song bring together the imagery and color schemes presented throughout the song. The "floating body" represents a sense of detachment or lack of connection, a theme that recurs throughout the song. The "viridian shivers" represent the coldness or detachment that characterizes the singer's emotional state through the opening and closing of doors.
