With the release of Serpentine two years later, the band would build on the work they did with Jade, adding a slightly more up tempo, less depressing sound. After the release of Serpentine, Stefanie Duchêne had to leave the band. Her pregnancy was incompatible with the high sights of the band. She is currently working on her solo career. Their current vocalist is Helen Vogt. With a sound similar to that of Serpentine, and Vogt's vocal similarities with Stefanie Duchêne's vocals, the band released their 5th studio album, Razorbliss.
On October 20, 2004, just seven months after the release of "Razorbliss", two founding members of Flowing Tears, Björn Lorson and Cristian Zimmer, died in a car accident.
Exactly 4 years after the accident, on October 20, 2008 they released their sixth studio album, titled Thy Kingdom Gone. It is a concept album containing 12 songs, along with artwork made by Seth Siro Anton, who is known for doing artwork with Moonspell, Soilwork, and Paradise Lost.

Breach
Flowing Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hurry my pale boy - run!
Talk to the screen, boy
Splinter the green, boy - run!
And while we're waiting to feel the sunlight
And while he's running so far from home
Our dreamer walks alone
Bury your spleen, boy
Feed the machine, boy, run!
Slave to the grind, boy
Ashgrey in mind, boy, run!
And while waiting to feel the sunlight
And while he's running so far from home
And while we welcome the same old mourning
Our hero walks alone
Kill the sun,
Kill the moon,
Kill the stars!
Kill the sun,
Kill the moon,
And your stars!
Kill me, entertain me,
Get the hell out of your stars!
Kill me, entertain me,
Get the hell out of your scars!
The lyrics of Flowing Tears' "Breach" speak of the struggle of an individual fighting for their place in a world where they feel like they don't belong. The opening lines admonish the character to hurry, to run in the rain, as if they are trying to avoid something that is chasing them. The following lines speak of the character's attempts to break through the barriers that prevent them from finding their true self. However, as they themselves are trying to break through, they are simultaneously fighting the world's attempt to pigeonhole them into a predetermined path, as they are being labeled as a slave to the grind and losing their individuality.
The lyrics seem to paint a picture of a protagonist who wants to be free, to escape the expectations and limitations placed upon them by society. They are urging themselves and others to break through the restrictions of daily life, to dream big and run towards their goals. However, they are faced with the reality of being alone in their journey, as others around them are content to stay in the same place and accept the same old morning. The singer even goes so far as to ask to be killed, in order to be free of the constraints and expectations that are holding them back.
