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.

One of Us
Flowing Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
all of those great romances.
You were, I felt, robbing me
of my rightful chances.
My picture clear.
Everything seemed so easy.
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go.
I want you to know.
One of us is crying.
One of us is lying
In a lonely bed.
Staring at the ceiling,
Wishing she was somewhere else instead.
One of us is lonely.
One of us is only
Waiting for a call.
Sorry for herself.
Feeling stupid, feeling small.
Wishing she had never left at all.
I saw myself as a concealed attraction.
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action.
Just like a child,
Stubborn and misconceiving.
That's how I started the show.
One of us had to go.
Now I'm changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying.
One of us is lying
In a lonely bed.
Staring at the ceiling,
Wishing she was somewhere else instead.
One of us is lonely.
One of us is only
Waiting for a call.
Sorry for herself.
Feeling stupid, feeling small.
Wishing she had never left at all.
Never left at all.
Staring at the ceiling,
Wishing she was somewhere else instead.
The lyrics to Flowing Tears's song "One of Us" tells the story of a failed romance where one partner feels that the other robbed them of a chance to be with someone else. The singer feels like they were denied the opportunity to experience great romance and blames their partner for it. In retaliation, they end the relationship by dealing them a blow that forces one of them to leave. However, as time passes, the singer realizes that they were actually the problem and that their partner was merely trying to protect them from harm. They admit their mistakes and regret their decision to end the relationship, wishing they had never left at all.
The song is an emotional ballad that captures the pain and regret that comes with failed relationships. The singer's feelings of being robbed and denied are relatable to anyone who has experienced unrequited love or the end of a romance. The line "One of us is crying. One of us is lying in a lonely bed" conveys the loneliness and heartbreak that comes with a failed relationship. The final line "Staring at the ceiling, wishing she was somewhere else instead" is particularly powerful in its depiction of the despair and longing that comes with unfulfilled love.

Jeden z nás pláče
Jeden z nás lže
V jejím osamělém posteli
Zíral do stropu
Přála si, aby byl někde jinde, místo
Jeden z nás je osamělý
Jeden z nás je jen
Čekání na volání
Omlouváme se za sebe, pocit hloupý pocit malé
Přála si, aby nikdy neopustil vůbec
Viděl jsem sám sebe jako skryté atrakce
Cítil jsem, že mě držel daleko od tepla a akce
Stejně jako dítě, tvrdohlavý a nepochopení
To je to, jak jsem začal show
Jeden z nás musel jít
Nyní Ive změnilo a já chci, abyste věděli,
Jeden z nás pláče
Jeden z nás lže
V jejím osamělém posteli
Zíral do stropu
Přála si, aby byl někde jinde, místo
Jeden z nás je osamělý
Jeden z nás je jen
Čekání na volání
Omlouváme se za sebe, pocit hloupý pocit malé
Přála si, aby nikdy neopustil vůbec
Nikdy neodešel vůbec
