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.

I Wait for You
Diorama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like your time I like your thinking
and drowning in your weird obsessions
I kiss your feet as you are walking by
and feel your potion on my lips
invincibly combined
still wondering what to pray for
tell me why I die to please you
I wait for you I wait for you now
Shouldn't it be sad that one's alive
unjust sentence to endure
reminding all the tears we drank together
you cannot leave me all alone
hesitation and my mind
invincibly combined
still wondering what to pray for
tell me why I die to please you
I wait for you I wait for you now
Your hazy breath -intoxicating-
illumination starts to fade
Blinded eyes cannot see a companion
a divided soul I offer to repay
I won't rely on someone's patience
another vision of delight
my childhood fears should lie in graves now
innocence I must deny
I wait for you I wait for you now
The lyrics of Diorama's song "I Wait For You" seem to be about someone who is deeply infatuated with another person. The opening lines suggest that the singer admires the person's intelligence ("I like your thinking") and eccentricity ("drowning in your weird obsessions"). They also seem to submit to this person's authority and crave their attention ("I kiss your feet as you are walking by").
The chorus ("I wait for you, I wait for you now") reinforces this idea of unrequited longing - the singer is waiting for the other person to notice them and reciprocate their feelings. The lines "Shouldn't it be sad that one's alive / unjust sentence to endure" suggest that the singer feels trapped or unfulfilled without this person in their life.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship between the two people is not a healthy one. The line "tell me why I die to please you" suggests that the singer is sacrificing their own well-being in order to please the other person. There is also a sense of desperation in the lines "you cannot leave me all alone" and "a divided soul I offer to repay".
The final verse seems to be a declaration of independence, with the singer stating that they will no longer rely on someone else's patience or be held back by their childhood fears. However, the final lines ("I wait for you, I wait for you now") seem to indicate that the singer is still not over their infatuation and remains trapped in this unhealthy cycle of waiting and longing.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Wait For You" examine the complexities of romantic obsession and the ways in which it can consume a person's identity and agency.
