Wounded (1996) helped them attract new fans. Time Lost (1997) was released for a tour with Dream Theater. It had four new tracks and previously unreleased material. Break (1998) was promoted live on stage with Spock's Beard and later with Marillion. These albums marked a departure from their first album.
Juggling 9 or Dropping 10 was released in 2000. Two band members left after the album was finished. Blink of an Eye and Tug of War reinforced the band's status as a serious band. These albums opened the band's road for touring in Germany together with Spock's Beard and the California Guitar Trio. Their live album, Live at Last was released as a double CD and a double DVD set, with over 20 songs some dating back to 1993.
The band, after a long break, recorded a new album titled The Great Divide which was released in 2014.

Under the Sun
Enchant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All in vain, all for nothing real
All I taste disappoints in flavor
What I know is fighting what I feel
This is no time to be distracted
Time lost can never be regained
Don't let yourself become attracted
Where is the treasure? I know there is one
I've looked everywhere under the sun
I'll search and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done
But I've looked everywhere under the sun
All I've seen seems to lack in color
All I've held crumbles in my hands
Desperately needing something that will
Fill this hole, seems like nothing can
It's time you find out what's important
This futile chase has got to end
Don't let your conscience lie there dormant
The truth can break but never bend
Where is the treasure? I know there is one
I've looked everywhere under the sun
I'll search and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done
But I've looked everywhere under the sun
I've spent my life searching for something
To keep me constantly content
And now I'm left here with a longing for what I've spent
This is no time to be distracted
Time lost can never be regained
Don't let yourself become attracted
And live your life only to gain
Where is the treasure? I know there is one
I've looked everywhere under the sun
I'll search and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done
But I've looked everywhere under the sun
All I see, fruits of my own labor
The lyrics of the song "Under The Sun" by Enchant reflect the struggle of a person who is searching for meaning and purpose in their life. The opening lines, "All I see, fruits of my own labor, All in vain, all for nothing real" suggest that despite the person's hard work and effort, their achievements seem futile and meaningless. The next line, "All I taste disappoints in flavor, What I know is fighting what I feel" further adds to this sense of disillusionment and disappointment.
The chorus of the song, "Where is the treasure? I know there is one, I've looked everywhere under the sun, I'll search and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done, But I've looked everywhere under the sun" reinforces the idea of a life-long search for something, although the search seems endless and fruitless. The middle section of the song, "All I've seen seems to lack in color, All I've held crumbles in my hands" suggests that the person's experience of the world is similar; everything they touch appears to be full of disappointment and uncertainty.
Line by Line Meaning
All I see, fruits of my own labor
I can only see the things I have accomplished
All in vain, all for nothing real
Everything I have worked for feels worthless and meaningless
All I taste disappoints in flavor
Nothing I experience satisfies me fully
What I know is fighting what I feel
My knowledge and emotions are in conflict
This is no time to be distracted
I cannot afford to lose focus now
Time lost can never be regained
Once time is wasted, it can never be recovered
Don't let yourself become attracted
Do not let yourself be drawn to pointless pursuits
This need has got to be restrained
I must control this longing
Where is the treasure? I know there is one
I believe there is something valuable out there for me to find
I've looked everywhere under the sun
I have searched tirelessly for it
I'll search and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done
I will keep searching until the end of my days, even if it kills me
All I've seen seems to lack in color
Nothing I've witnessed has felt vibrant or alive
All I've held crumbles in my hands
Everything I try to hold onto falls apart
Desperately needing something that will
I am in dire need of something that can
Fill this hole, seems like nothing can
Fill the void inside me, but nothing seems to be able to
It's time you find out what's important
It is essential that you discover what truly matters
This futile chase has got to end
You must put an end to this pointless pursuit
Don't let your conscience lie there dormant
Do not let your morals and values go unused
The truth can break but never bend
The truth may be hard to face, but it cannot be altered or changed
I've spent my life searching for something
My entire life has been dedicated to finding something
To keep me constantly content
That could keep me fulfilled and satisfied every moment of my life
And now I'm left here with a longing for what I've spent
Yet I feel unfulfilled, despite spending my whole life searching
And live your life only to gain
Do not waste your life chasing things that do not truly matter
