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.

Radio Heroine
Flowing Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
leaving the waves I unscrew
a long night, and again I adore you
a long night and the radio plays
songs of little heroes for broken weary eyes... a dream each one
I sat on the roof and if each other in this night dreams... I don't
breathing the rape I once knew
someone but somehow it hurts you
someone in my radio plays
song of little heroes for broken weary minds... a rape each one
I sat on the roof and if each other in this night dreams... I don t
and so we run hurry to drown again
and so we run to dream of the same
and so we're gone, turned out and down again
and so we run to go down in flames
The lyrics of Flowing Tears's song Radio Heroine paint a picture of someone who is deeply in love, but also in pain. The singer is drowning both physically and emotionally, and they confess their adoration for someone they bleed for. The radio becomes a central theme in the song, with the singer finding solace in the songs of little heroes, as they sit on the roof dreaming of each other.
The song carries a sense of longing, with the singer seeking comfort and release through drowning and dreaming. The use of the word "rape" is jarring and adds a layer of violence to the lyrics, suggesting a painful past that still haunts the singer. Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of love and heartbreak, with the radio acting as a reminder of both.

Topím se, topím se pro tebe
Opouštím vlny
Dlouhá noc a znovu tě zbožňuji
Dlouhá noc a rádio hraje
Písně o malých hrdinech pro rozbité unavené oči ...sen každého z nich
Seděla jsem na střeše a jestli všichni ostatní o této noci sní ...já ne
Krvácím, krvácím pro tebe
Dýchám znásilnění, které jsem kdysi znala
Někdo tě ale nějak zraňuje
Někdo v rádiu hraje
Písně o malých hrdinech pro rozbité unavené oči ...sen každého z nich
Seděla jsem na střeše a jestli všichni ostatní o této noci sní ...já ne
A tak spěcháme se znovu utopit
A tak běžíme ke stejným snům
A tak jsme pryč, otočili jsme se znovu
A tak běžíme dolů do plamenů

I love this one. There are only view songs by this band I've known. I think I have to "do the homework" and listen to some more.
Because it's a shame I have never listened to the whole doscography by the band whose songs I used to cry to when I was a child, 13-14 y. o. and was in love for the først time etc. XD Haha. Those were the days! :D I was in that sad, dark (for me then only, hahah :D) kind of love with someone who didn't even know about it. And as a young metalhead/goth (but never an emo!) I used to play some Flowing Tears songs and be that very sad girl while going by bus/tram to/from school. XD Ah, srsly, those were the days! :D
