1) Diorama is a darkwave band founded in 1996 in Reutlingen, Germany by Torben Wendt. His music was soon recognized by Adrian Hates of Diary of Dreams, so with his support and the support of Rainer Assmann (Daf/ Fad Gadget), a debut-album “Pale” was released in 1999. It was received very well both by the critics and the audience.
In 2000 Torben’s friend Felix Marc joined Diorama as a keyboard player, co-producer and backing vocalist. The second album “Her Liquid Arms” was released in April 2001. Despite its stronger rhythms and more forceful electronic sounds, the music preserved its distinctive atmosphere, established with the first album. The song “Advance” became one of the leading club hits and the band was becoming increasingly popular. The second album was followed by club-oriented single “Device” (December 2001).
Bassist Bernard Le Sigue joined the band the following year, and together with Torben and Felix saw the release of the third album, named “The Art of Creating Confusing Spirits”, the album was released in October 2002. During November and December of the same year, Diorama supported Diary of Dreams on tour.
After a long break and another addition to the band’s line-up (guitar player Sash Fiddler joining in 2003), the long-awaited fourth album "Amaroid" was released in April 2005. For the promotion of the new album, the band joined VNV Nation, on their “Formation” tour. In October 2005, Diorama released two more albums: A re-release of their first album “Pale”, with three new songs (“Don’t Be There”, “You and Ice” and “Crop of Illusions”); and “Re-Pale” – a collection of new versions of earlier songs, remixes and some previously unreleased songs. At the same time, the band went on their first headline tour throughout Germany.
At the end of 2006, Bernard Le Sigue left the band. On the 23rd of February 2007, a new single was released: “Synthesize Me”, a prelude for the next album, which was released 4 weeks later. “A Different Life” can be characterized as a criticism of the society ruled by artificial, deviant system of values. With his lyrics, Torben portrayed the revolt of the individual against the imposed principles and general degradation of true values and virtues.
"Cubed" is their seventh studio album, released on 19th March 2010. The figurative picture of a cube is the guiding theme of the album - a confined area serving as a living space be it as a stage, as a prison or as a shelter. This concept consequently features throughout the band's artwork and stage setting.
2) Diorama is an Italian folk rock band formed in 2003 by Antonella Colucci, Richard Rhodes and Alexander Sgura. Over the years the line-up has been slightly changed, and so far the band has released three albums. More information can be found on their website: http://www.dioramamusica.it
3) Diorama is a post-rock / math rock band from Peru, formed in 2011. The band invents post-jamming psychedelic landscapes with a math rock feel, very chill and very textured.

Gone Gone Gone
Diorama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We see what's been moving you
Your untiring tries to hold
To your unfaithomable ideas
What you couldn't render hearable
Until all of your unfinished songs were
Gone gone gone
Gone
Irreplacable
You should be out there in the streets
Marching rioting...
You should be out there in the streets
Not here
In your infinite excuse
Why fear what's your engine?
Why fear what's your engine?
You should celebrate
To be alive
You should celebrate
The wall of hate
That keeps your mind apart
The lyrics of Diorama’s song, “Gone Gone Gone,” convey a message of awakening and action. The first stanza seems to describe a person who has been trapped in their own thoughts for too long. They have held on tightly to their beliefs and ideas, unable to express them fully. Now, however, something has shifted. Their “unfinished songs” are gone, and they are finally able to see clearly. The repetition of “Gone gone gone” emphasizes the finality of this change.
The second stanza is a call to action. The singer urges the listener to get out into the world and fight for what they believe in. “Marching rioting” suggests that this may involve taking to the streets and protesting. The singer sees this as a necessary step, contrasting it with the person’s “infinite excuse” for staying where they are. The final lines suggest that the person’s own fear is what has been holding them back. The “wall of hate” may be a metaphor for the barriers that keep them from acting on their beliefs.
Overall, “Gone Gone Gone” is a song about breaking free from old patterns and taking action. It encourages listeners to confront their fears and fight for what they believe in, rather than remaining stuck in their own minds.

After opening your head
Once we see inside your mind
We see what's been moving you
We understand what has been motivating you
Your untiring tries to hold
Your persistent efforts to maintain
To your unfaithomable ideas
Your hard-to-believe ideas
What you couldn't render hearable
What you could not translate into sound
Until all of your unfinished songs were
Until all of your incomplete works were ruined.
Gone gone gone
All that you had created is destroyed
But the shiny years are over
Despite your previous success, it is finished now.
Gone
Your accomplishments are gone.
Irreplacable
Unretrievable, and without substitute.
You should be out there in the streets
You ought to be participating in politics
Marching rioting...
Engaging in peaceful protests or raising civil dissent against injustices.
You should be out there in the streets
Rather than being here
Not here
And engaging in non-action
In your infinite excuse
With your endless justifications
Why fear what's your engine?
Why are you afraid of what inspires you?
Why fear what's your engine?
Why are you holding back from your passions?
You should celebrate
You ought to recognize
To be alive
The significance of being alive.
You should celebrate
You should cherish
The wall of hate
Those hateful people or obstacles
That keeps your mind apart
That prevent you from thinking clearly.

"After opening your head
We see what's been moving you"
I always have to laugh then, I can imagine Torben and Felix experimenting on someone, opening his head to see what happens in his brain.
