Their release "Starfall" was produced by Tom S. Englund (Vocalist of Evergrey), doing some vocal parts himself.
Since "Starfall" they have changed their sound from being a heavier power metal band to being a more melodic, slightly progressive power metal band.

Dragonland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a higher ground
My destination
Lies beyond the sun
Not afraid of failure
to crash and burn
If you're not living
constellations far
revealing my destiny
Astronomy
there among the star
Like a higher conscience
living in my mind
You're always with me
Till the end of time
It is there before me
Undisguised
No hesitation:
I'm on the rise
Constellations far
Revealing my agony
Astronomy
There among the star
"A life without strife is a moonless night"
Astronomy
"Ascend to sky of endless light"

Constellations far
Revealing my destiny

There among the star
"A life without strife is a moonless night"

The song "Astronomy" by Dragonland describes an epic journey where the singer is determined to reach beyond the limits and boundaries that exist, both physically and mentally. From the beginning, the song establishes that the singer is getting closer to a higher ground, a place where they will discover their true destiny. This higher ground is beyond the sun, and the singer is not afraid of failure, willing to take risks because he knows that living life means learning from our mistakes. The constellations in the sky become a symbol of destiny, and the singer feels that his fate is written among the stars.
The song also reflects on the concept of a higher conscience, which is a guiding force in the singer's journey. It is said that this conscience is always with him, even until the end of time. The singer is on a mission to reach his destiny and ascend to the sky of endless light by facing his agony and struggles, represented by the constellations. The lyrics emphasize that a life without strife is a moonless night, implying that we need to face our difficulties to find meaning and purpose. Overall, the message of the song is that we must push beyond our current limitations and embrace the unknown to discover our destiny.
