2) Essence is a Belgium Hardcore band. ESSENCE was founded in 2005 and went by the name “Essence of Life”. After a lot of discussions and line- up changes due to several reasons, our current singer Fre reinforced the band and we decided to change our name to “ESSENCE”. After rehearsing our old songs and trying to improve them, we felt it was time for a whole new beginning and started working on brand-new material. After we did a couple of shows with well- known international bands from the likes of Maroon, xDeadlockx, Deadsoil, Hatespere and many others as well as sharing the stage with local talented bands such as Chimaera , Morda and The Setup another line-up change occurred and our current guitarist, Maarten, came in to play. After finding our typical sound and working very hard, we got a lot of positive reactions and comments that inspired us to work even harder as a band and to enjoy ourselves as a group of friends and individuals. After a lot of thought and constant plan changes, we decided to record our first demo-mcd in the well- renowned Rape of Harmonies studio in Germany. In the summer of 2007 ESSENCE decided to part ways with singer Fre. Michiel a good friend of the band came in place. With our current line up ESSENCE is more driven than ever. We're aiming to get our music to an higher level and to destroy some venues in the future.

3) Metal/Noise/Hardcore band named Essence from Split, Croatia.
...was formed by Jan Ivelic-Pele (drums), Karmelo Marin-Chmite (guitar) and Damir Brkljacic-Beat Masta B (bass) in the 1996 as a death metal/hardcore band mainly under the influence of bands such as Napalm Death,cannibal Corpse,Death...... In the 1997 essence stopped playing because of some personal issues [Chmite turned towards Khrisna and went to the temple and Masta started pirate pussy hunting career]. 1998 was when the band was formed as we know it now (metal/hardcore/noise) Chmite gathered people that would love this metal/noise mixture of styles till present days, Pele returned as a spine of the band and Ivo Vatavuk-Frusta started as a vocalist. Few months after that we recorded and released our first demo material in 1998 called "Dirt in frame" on our own and Ognjen Pavlovic-Lupez(now a member of TBF) came into the band as a bass guitarist. We activly played for about a year and decided that we should introduce Marin Dumanic-Manir to the band as second guitar. In that period we had few gigs and the time came to record some new material. In the end of 2000 we started the recording of 9 new songs, again on our own, and in the winter of 2001 our second demo was released under the name "Rea". In the begining of 2001 we had a lineup change and Manir was replaced by unfuckable rock machine Ranko Smoljan as an excelent new guitarist. In the winter of 2002 we went on tour and after few days on road we realised that we have some mental differences with our bass guitarist Lupez. So after returning home he left the band and shortly after that was replaced by Vinko Madirazza Ravlic-Rufio Oppossum Fuckwind III. 2003/2004 we started to record [on our own one more time] our third demo material "Larva", and we had a few gigs presenting this material to the local audience! We feel that in this lineup we are complete and we are ready once again to make some music and play it loud and live...

Separation
Essence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause the flowers are dead for you
You watch me standing alone
On a bridge
I thought you told me the truth
In a room for years we stayed
We stared each others' eyes
I never thought it would end
It's like a
Like a sad goodbye
For always and always I'd stayed
And always and always you run away
I don't bring you flowers
Because I know it's no use
I know that I must go on
With or without you
I watched you for hours and hours
This picture in my hand
I could scream like you used to
Scream only
And cry all the time
For always and always I'll remember you
For always and always you'll remember me
And I'll dream
And I'll cry
Softly at night.
The lyrics of Separation by Essence deal with a failed relationship and the aftermath of a breakup. The song's opening lines, "You don't bring me flowers/ Cause the flowers are dead for you" set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The flowers are a metaphor for the relationship, which is now dead and gone.
The next few lines describe the scene – the singer stands alone on a bridge, feeling abandoned and betrayed. The line "I thought you told me the truth" suggests that the breakup was unexpected and that the singer had been misled by their partner.
The third stanza describes the couple's past, in which they had been together for years, staring into each other's eyes. The singer had never imagined that their relationship would come to an end in such a painful and uncomfortable way.
The chorus highlights the theme of the song: the couple's separation. The singer is being left behind, while their partner leaves to pursue their own interests. The lyrics "For always and always I'd stayed/ And always and always you run away" suggest that this was a recurring problem in their relationship.
In the second half of the song, the singer reflects on their current state. They don't bring their partner flowers, as they know it won't change anything. They are resigned to the fact that they have to move on, with or without their partner.
The line "I watched you for hours and hours/ This picture in my hand" suggests a sense of obsession and longing for their lost love. The singer is still holding on to memories of their relationship, even though it has ended.
The song ends with the lines "And I'll dream/ And I'll cry/ Softly at night" – the singer is slowly coming to terms with their loss, but still holds onto memories of their past love.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't bring me flowers
You no longer show me any love or affection
Cause the flowers are dead for you
You have lost interest in me and our relationship
You watch me standing alone
You observe me being by myself and without your support
On a bridge
A symbol of a decision point in life or a connection that is now broken
I thought you told me the truth
I believed that you were always honest with me
In a room for years we stayed
We spent years together and shared many moments under the same roof
We stared each others' eyes
We would gaze into each other's eyes for long periods of time
I never thought it would end
I never expected our relationship to deteriorate and come to an end
This way
In this manner, with such sadness and pain
It's like a
It feels similar to
Like a sad goodbye
The end feels like a painful farewell
For always and always I'd stayed
I remained committed to you for an extended period of time
And always and always you run away
You always found a way to avoid dealing with our issues and trying to salvage our relationship
I don't bring you flowers
I do not show you any more gestures of love and devotion
Because I know it's no use
I am aware that trying to fix our relationship is futile
I know that I must go on
I am aware that I need to move forward and find closure
With or without you
Regardless of whether you are still attached to our relationship
I watched you for hours and hours
I spent countless hours observing you from afar
This picture in my hand
A memento of our past, captured in a photograph
I could scream like you used to
I feel like expressing myself with the same level of emotion that you once did
Scream only
Just letting my feelings out in a vocal manner
And cry all the time
Feeling overwhelmed with sadness and despair, and unable to fight back my tears
For always and always I'll remember you
I will never forget the memories we shared together
For always and always you'll remember me
You will also remember me and what we had
And I'll dream
I will envision scenarios of what could have been
And I'll cry
Tears will flow as I process the loss of our connection
Softly at night.
This will be a personal process and set of emotions, done privately
