With the release of their single "Ghost Capter" on July 17, 2020, the band announced their debut album "Escape," which was released on September 18, 2020. The album tells the story of how all people are naturally social beings. If people feel lost or lonely, those they trust will support them. They seek sympathy and understanding from their loved ones, feeling needed in their embrace, even during the most difficult times.
Additionally, at the beginning of 2021, the band announced a headline tour throughout Germany, which was later canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On November 5, 2021, the band released their single "Paradise" along with a music video. The single "Heads Up" was released on December 16, 2021. It focused on the fight against depression, which arose above all in the hopeless impression of the pandemic and thus creates a profound relevance.

The album "Run" was released on June 10, 2022.

Traces of post-hardcore, electronica, and growling vocals can also be heard.
On April 20, 2023, Future Palace released their single "Malphas."
Their blend of post-hardcore and alternative rock with lyrics written by vocalist Maria Lessing, delve into personal experiences, particularly depression, inner conflicts, and toxic relationships. It gives an insight into their hopes, their tomorrow and future - it is a diary of omnipresent vulnerability and the search for a remedy.
Sleep Tight
FUTURE PALACE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is pretty but we still cry
Generation Z are we adults yet?
'cause I'm wishing for a bullet to shoot through my head
Help me out of here
These monsters will eat me up
Why can't I see clearly?
But everything is nice here, it will be alright dear
Don't worry too much it's just a nightmare
Sleep tight to hide from my fears
But inside my entire world bleeds
I sleepwalk through this hell of earth
I'm awake in a nightmare
A tide of war and peace
Give me a break I'm begging you please
I drench, is this a dream or not?
Is this all just a nightmare?
I pinch my skin
Nails are sinking in
Is this reality or am I just a little dim?
Turn the lights on, blast a loud song
But I still feel numb, guess that something must be wrong
Help me out of here
Why can't I see clearly
They are scraping my eyes out
But everything is nice here, it will be alright dear
Don't worry too much it's just a nightmare
Sleep tight to hide from my fears
But inside my entire world bleeds
I sleepwalk through this hell of earth
I’m awake in a nightmare
A tide of war and peace
Give me a break I’m begging you please
I drench, is this a dream or not?
Is this all just a nightmare?
I see the stars, I see their lights
How much more do I have to try?
To feel a spark of a resting mind
Tell me how much do I have to try?
I see the stars, I see their lights
How much more do I have to try?
To feel the spark of a resting mind
Tell me how much do I have to try?
The lyrics to "Sleep Tight" by FUTURE PALACE convey a sense of internal turmoil and the struggles of navigating through life's challenges. The opening lines, "Butterflies, a blue sky / Everything is pretty but we still cry," suggest a juxtaposition between external beauty and inner turmoil. Despite the seemingly pleasant surroundings, there is a sense of sadness and pain.
The mention of "Generation Z" and the longing for a bullet to shoot through the head indicate a feeling of being overwhelmed and questioning one's place in the world, perhaps as a young adult trying to find their identity. The lyrics express a desire to escape the darkness and seek clarity, while feeling trapped and helpless against the metaphorical monsters that threaten to consume them.
The chorus, "Sleep tight to hide from my fears / But inside my entire world bleeds," showcases the idea of using sleep as escapism, yet even within the realm of dreams, the turmoil persists. The mention of sleepwalking through a hellish existence and the plea for a break and respite further emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the singer's experience.
The bridge delves into a search for solace and the longing to find a sense of peace or rest in an otherwise chaotic mind. The repetition of the question, "How much more do I have to try?" highlights a sense of exhaustion and frustration in trying to find the elusive spark of tranquility.
