During the next two years, Dismal Euphony released two full-length albums, Soria Moria Slott and Autumn Leaves - The Rebellion of Tides. The latter included the song Splendid Horror, which is more industrial-like, as well as a 'hidden' part at the end of that track.
In 1998, both vocalist Linn Achre Tveit and keyboardist Elin Overskott (who died of an heroin overdose in 2004) left the band. They were replaced by Anja Natasha (vocals) and Svenn-Aksel Henriksen (keyboards).
With the new line-up, the band recorderd and released the album All Little Devils and the EP Lady Ablaze. Dismal Euphony's last full-length Python Zero saw the light of day in 2001. After that, the band split up.
Psycho Path
Dismal Euphony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the foreign shores
I'll never walk again
Just call my name and I will be your enemy
Just call my name and I won't be answering
I will be your enemy until the darkness fall
Blinded by the morning light
Eat my flesh and drink my soul
It's no use holding on
Feed my dreams with your own soil
Let me feel your pain
Come watch the acid sights I see
Crawling up towards me
The gods and demons serve me well though I can't tell
Do they want me well?
I ride the psycho path to gain
The power that the sane never will obtain
Just call my name then I will be your enemy
Just call my name and I will be insane
The lyrics of Dismal Euphony's song "Psycho Path" describe a person who is on a self-destructive path and has lost touch with reality. They ride the "psycho path" in pain, perhaps on a metaphorical journey of mental illness or addiction. They have reached foreign shores, meaning they are far from a place of familiarity or safety. The line "I'll never walk again" can be seen as a metaphor for the character's inability to return to a normal, functional life.
The chorus offers a glimpse into the character's mindset as they declare that they will be the enemy of anyone who calls their name. The darkness is their ally and they are not afraid to die. They seem to be offering their body and soul as a sacrifice in a plea for empathy and understanding from those around them. They want to be embraced in their pain.
The bridge of the song becomes much more sinister, as the character offers up their own flesh and soul to be consumed by others. They are ready to let go and die, and they want others to join them. The line "let me feel your pain" is especially haunting, as it suggests a desire for mutual suffering.
Overall, "Psycho Path" is a chilling glimpse into the mind of someone who has lost all touch with reality and seeks to embrace their own destruction.

I ride the psycho path in pain
I am traveling down a painful path towards madness
Into the foreign shores
My journey is taking me to unfamiliar and unknown places
I'll never walk again
I am losing control and will always be on this path
Just call my name and I will be your enemy
If you reach out to me, I will only bring you harm
Just call my name and I won't be answering
I am beyond help and won't respond to anyone
I will be your enemy until the darkness fall
I will always be a threat to those around me and will continue until the end of my life
Blinded by the morning light
Even though it is daytime, my thoughts and actions are consumed by darkness
I'm not afraid to die
The idea of death doesn't scare me, and may even be preferred to my current state of madness
Eat my flesh and drink my soul
I am offering myself up to be consumed by the darkness
It's no use holding on
There is no point in trying to resist the inevitable descent into madness
Feed my dreams with your own soil
I need external input to fuel my destructive path
Let me feel your pain
I seek to inflict my own pain onto others, and need to feel their pain to fuel my madness
Come watch the acid sights I see
I invite others to witness the hallucinations and visions I am experiencing
Crawling up towards me
The darkness and madness is slowly consuming and overtaking me
The gods and demons serve me well though I can't tell
I am being manipulated by forces beyond my control, and I don't even realize it
Do they want me well?
I question the motivations of the powers that are driving me towards madness
I ride the psycho path to gain
My descent into madness is driven by a desire for power and control
The power that the sane never will obtain
Through madness, I believe I will achieve a level of power that is unattainable to those who remain sane
Just call my name then I will be your enemy
I warn others to stay away, as my madness will only bring harm
Just call my name and I will be insane
My madness is all-consuming and I have lost touch with reality
