When not touring the band divide their time between Athens, Greece and Munich, Germany.
Flames have changed their lineup many times over with only the Kirx brothers remaining the consistent core.
Evil
Flames Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took anger of the daughter of Sin
She burned down all the great gates
Rivers ran with blood because of her
The kingship of heaven
Has been seized by a woman
O Inanna
Raising of your fierce countenance
Her flashing eyes
Evil days and evil nights
Demons are here to their clives
Evil wings and evil skies
Flaming rain over the land
Everything in your power
Blowing louder than a howling storm
Led in the van of battle
Kept on moaning like the evil winds
Conducted rites, innovations
Rising moonlight
End up monsters
Ancient words of incantations
The charmed arrow took care of it
Evil days and evil nights
Demons are here to their clives
Evil wings and evil skies
Flaming rain over the land
The lyrics of Flames' song "Evil in a Closet" touch upon the themes of longing, unrequited love, and the desire to be accepted by someone who is out of reach. The opening lines reflect a deep connection between the two lovers where they have become so close that they finish each other's sentences. However, the singer's fear of tomorrow creates a barrier between them, leading to a sense of being pushed away.
The second stanza uses imagery of sinking in deep waters, signifying a loss of control and feeling trapped in a situation. The presence of the love interest is what keeps the singer afloat, away from the secrets and uncertainties that lie beneath the surface. There is a sense of regret and longing for what could have been, expressed through the line "Maybe in another life time I can be the first you meet."
The chorus, "Yell at me I want to be, your light that shines / But my ground is shaking and I might fall / I wish that I could say, I wish that I could be your evil in a closet," speaks to the singer's willingness to endure any pain just to be noticed and accepted by their love interest. They wish to be the light that makes their partner shine, despite the instability in their own life. The final line, "I wish that I could be your evil in a closet," is a paradoxical statement, hinting at the idea that the singer's desire to be with their love interest may have a darker, manipulative aspect.

We were one in words
We used to communicate very closely
You finished my sentence
You knew me so well that you could anticipate everything I wanted to say
I could never attract tomorrow
I felt lost and unsure about my future
It pushes me aside
My uncertainty about the future is preventing me from moving forward
I sink in waters deep
I feel overwhelmed by my emotions
Your presence kept me floating far from where secrets lie
Your company helped me keep my emotions in check
Maybe in another life time I can be the first you meet
Perhaps in a different scenario, I could have made a better impression on you
I once read a poem
I was once inspired
Held my breath but that moments gone
But that inspiration has passed
First time I felt life somewhat hurt
That inspiration was so powerful that it almost hurt
I need an option, a reason, and some hope
I need something to inspire me again and give me direction
Yell at me I want to be, your light that shines
I want to be the one who helps you and brings light into your life
But my ground is shaking and I might fall
But I am unsure of myself and afraid that I might fail
I wish that I could say, I wish that I could be your evil in a closet
I wish I could be the dark side of you that you keep hidden and secret, so that I could be close to you in some way
