1) Enigma is a … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with the name Enigma:
1) Enigma is a German electronic musical project founded by Michael Cretu (Romanian musician), David Fairstein and Frank Peterson in 1990. Cretu, who based his recording studio A.R.T. Studios in Ibiza, Spain in the early 1990s is both the composer and the producer of the project. His former wife Sandra often provided vocals on Enigma tracks. Jens Gad co-produced and played guitar on three of the Enigma albums.
After some solo projects, Cretu started to produce the first Enigma record "MCMXC a.D." in 1990 using the nickname "Curly MC". Until today, with seven albums out, "Seven Lives, Many Faces" being the latest one (released on September 19, 2008), 35 million CDs sold worldwide, 50 number one hits, 90 platinum discs, and songs appearing on more than 1,000 compilation albums.
With the 1990 hit "Sadeness Part I," Enigma brought the new age fascination with Gregorian chants and old-world culture to the world and clubs; the resulting single was both unique and irresistible.
On his second album, 1993’s "Cross of Changes", some of the old-world elements remained, but the new age angle came to the forefront in a set of slick, radio-friendly pop. The well-known "Return to Innocence" was born.
Enigma 3: "Le Roi Est Mort, Vive le Roi" followed in 1996 - a musical summary of the previous concepts.
The fourth Enigma record, "The Screen Behind the Mirror", followed in early 2000, and in 2003 "Voyageur" came out. Three years later, "A Posteriori" (2006) was released. The result is an intergalactic sound trip through the universe and back, based on a more electronic/trance sound.
In 2008 his seventh album was released, "Seven Lives, Many Faces".
In 2009 "The Platinum Collection" was released, spread between 3 disks, the first containing the popular music created by Engima, the second CD contains remixes of all the songs on the first CD with the third containing never before heard tracks.
On 5 October 2010, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the first album MCMXC a.D., the "Enigma's Social Song" project began. Enigma fans were asked to submit vocals for a new Enigma song. The public was then asked to vote, with the winning submission "Fei mea" being provided by Latvian singer Fox Lima for the chorus. The top 3 runners up, Mark Joshua from Brazil, J. Spring from Spain, and Rasa Serra from Lithuania provided other important parts of the vocals like the bridge, backing, and verse of the final version of the single. Fans also influenced further stages of the song's creation by voting on elements such as a lead instrument, general mood, and style of the track. The final mix of the single named "MMX (The Social Song)" was released on 15 December 2010. It became the first song ever created for and by the fans via the internet.
In August 2016, Enigma's eighth studio album The Fall of a Rebel Angel was announced for a release on 11 November 2016. It features guest musicians Brazilian singer-songwriter Mark Josher, Indonesian singer Anggun, female voice Nanuk, and English electro-pop duo Aquilo. Two singles from the album have been released, "Sadeness (Part II)" featuring Anggun, and "Amen" featuring Aquilo.
In May 2018, limited edition coloured vinyl editions of Enigma's entire catalogue were released in a new collection, The Colours of Enigma – The Vinyl Series. The set features new artwork and remastered stereo mixes made from the original master tapes.
Throughout 2019 and into 2020, three former vocalists for Enigma, Andru Donalds, Angel X, and Fox Lima, embarked on a world tour under the name Original Enigma Voices. This marks the first time Enigma's music has been performed live.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo soy ciencia
Yo soy ciencia
I am science
Yo soy ciencia
Yo soy ciencia
Ah
Born in a way
Up not down
I won't be
On the ground
Because I am science
I am science
Say the truth I'm a star
I am science
I hang up with lions
I am science
You don't like and that's weird
Yeah that's bizarre
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
That we just cannot hide
I am just a little bit of an assad
I don't wanna be cocky
I don't wanna be god
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
That we just cannot hide
I was born to be a shiny superstar
I am just a little bit of an assad
So let me retire
I am tired
Always the brain of the operation
Just wanna go on vacation
I can see your carnation
But y'all still need castration
I can see your carnation
But y'all still need castration
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
That we just cannot hide
I am just a little bit of an assad
I don't wanna be cocky
I don't wanna be god
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
That we just cannot hide
I was born to be a shiny superstar
I am just a little bit of an assad
I am science
I am science
Balls
Not bolder than vagina
Vagina give birth to
Bigger than banana
If you throw your cigarette butt then
You are going to hell
If you smoke next to someone
You love then
You don't love them
As well
2+2 is maths
2-1 number one
That's me that's a fact
I am science
No more prate
That's a fact
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
That we just cannot hide
I am just a little bit of an assad
I don't wanna be cocky
I don't wanna be god
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
There's just a part of me
That we just cannot hide
I was born to be a shiny superstar
I am just a little bit of an assad
The lyrics of Enigma's song "Bonus Track" delve into themes of self-awareness, identity, and individuality. The repeated declaration of "I am science" suggests a sense of empowerment and self-realization. This phrase can be interpreted as the singer embracing their intellect, curiosity, and analytical nature. By stating "I won't be on the ground," the lyrics convey a determination to rise above limitations and constraints, symbolizing a desire to transcend boundaries and reach higher levels of understanding.
The lyrics also touch upon the complexities of human nature. References to hanging out with lions and being a bit of an assad (asshole) suggest a duality within the singer's character. They recognize their flaws and imperfections but also acknowledge their potential for greatness and stardom. The line "I don't wanna be cocky, I don't wanna be god" further highlights the internal struggle between humility and ambition, reflecting a nuanced understanding of one's own nature.
The singer's musings on cigarette butts, love, and mathematics introduce a philosophical aspect to the lyrics. The comparison between balls and vagina, along with the reference to childbirth, could be seen as a metaphor for creation and the cyclical nature of life. The juxtaposition of mundane activities like smoking with profound statements about love and knowledge adds depth to the message of the song, emphasizing the importance of both the trivial and the profound in the human experience.
Overall, "Bonus Track" by Enigma is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of being human. Through a mix of self-assured declarations, introspective reflections, and philosophical musings, the lyrics invite listeners to contemplate their own identities and the intricacies of existence. The song encourages self-reflection, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to embrace both the light and dark aspects of oneself in the pursuit of self-discovery and personal growth.
Line by Line Meaning
I am science
I am knowledgeable and rational
Born in a way Don't need a licence
I was born naturally, no need for restrictions
Up not down I won't be On the ground Because I am science
I will rise above challenges because of my scientific mindset
Say the truth I'm a star I am science
Being truthful makes me shine as a scientist
I hang up with lions I am science
I am bold and fearless like a lion in my scientific pursuits
You don't like and that's weird Yeah that's bizarre
It's strange if you dislike me for being scientific
There's just a part of me That we just cannot hide
There are aspects of my scientific nature that are inherent and undeniable
I don't wanna be cocky I don't wanna be god
I don't want to be arrogant or act like I know everything
I was born to be a shiny superstar I am just a little bit of an assad
My destiny is to shine as a top scientist, despite being flawed
Always the brain of the operation Just wanna go on vacation
I am always the intellectual leader, but sometimes just want to relax
I can see your carnation But y'all still need castration
I observe your behavior, but you still require correction or discipline
Balls Not bolder than vagina Vagina give birth to Bigger than banana
Male courage is not stronger than female strength; women give birth which is greater than mere physical size
If you throw your cigarette butt then You are going to hell
If you litter and disrespect the environment, you will face consequences
If you smoke next to someone You love then You don't love them As well
Smoking near loved ones shows a lack of concern for their well-being
2+2 is maths 2-1 number one That's me that's a fact I am science
Basic arithmetic is logical and precise, just like me in my scientific approach
No more prate That's a fact
No more idle talk, only facts matter in science
