Today Haus Arafna is numbered among the protagonists of the so-called "post-industrial" genre. The long creative period from the youthful years till today, has resulted in a multi-layered and extraordinarily varied sound. It would take more than just one or two songs to convey the full extent of Haus Arafna's output.
While the beginnings were stamped with energetic noise-eruptions Mr. and Mrs. Arafna rapidly developed their own unique mix, combining different streams of dark electronic music in an inimitable fashion, resulting in Haus Arafna's outstanding status.
To reinforce this Galakthorrö reanimated the genre-phantom "angst pop", at the same time distinguishing it from the the already belaboured "industrial" tag. However, there is no denying the roots of Haus Arafna: The raw lo-fi sound image, analogue synthesizer sounds, noise rhythms, and tape footage point to the "industrial music" of the 1970s.
In contrast to how things were done back then, Haus Arafna now strives continually to cultivate more and more new experimentation and improvisation, with text and vocals to be developed into innovative inspiring Songs. Over and again, certain pieces produce such levels of energy, that DJs try them out on the dance-floor. That is why Haus Arafna has become known beyond the borders of the Industrial scene, with such club hits as "The Last Dream of Jesus", or "Für Immer".
Haus Arafna do not however make dance music, neither does their work serve as mere entertainment. Haus Arafna considers art as the battlefield of the soul, and steer with their music through the deep morass of the human mind. The inability of people to conquer the negative aspects of life in the community is demonstrated through Haus Arafna's manifold use of symbols, metaphors, and double-entendre. In this way the duo has been able to construct, with the help of their omni-present musical characteristics, a frame for the whole of their artwork, which is also not lacking in graphical identity.

Haus Arafna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was a part of you
I was the left hand of God
Which gave mankind innocence
I was loved by you
And i said to you
Bring back the light
Babylon it's time to rise
Lucifer will bring the light
Lucifer, I cry
You asked me why i'm crying why i'm lying
I said this is not the light i'm looking for
This light leads to a dark desire
To let me fall in eternal fire
Babylon it's time to rise
Lucifer will bring the light
Lucifer, I cry
You said : don't you know it's the light God has created
Look your right hand takes what the left one leaves for it
Don't fight against what you are and always will be
This is no heresy
These hands killed without guilt
This heart burns in repentance
These hands killed without guilt
This dream is lost in repentance
Babylon it's time to rise
Lucifer will bring the light
Lucifer, I cry
Lucifer who cries
Lucifer this part dies
Lucifer this part dies
Lucifer : A star on high
The song "Lucifer" by Haus Arafna is a complex and thought-provoking exploration of the concept of light and darkness, innocence and guilt, and the role of God and Lucifer in human existence. The lyrics are filled with vivid images and metaphors, and require careful interpretation to fully understand.
The opening lines of the song suggest a divine connection between the singer and God, with the singer describing themselves as the left hand of God, which gave mankind innocence. This creates an image of the singer as a sort of angelic figure, tasked with spreading light and goodness throughout the world. They are loved by someone, likely Jesus, and they ask for the light to be returned by Lucifer.
The next stanza describes the singer's conflicted feelings about the light that Lucifer brings. They cry out for Lucifer to bring light, but they also recognize that this light leads to dark desires that can result in eternal fire. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the temptation of sin, and the difficulty of staying true to one's faith in the face of temptation.
The final stanza of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer acknowledging the guilt of their own actions, and pleading with Lucifer to bring the light that will redeem them. The repeated refrain of "Lucifer, I cry" creates a haunting and sorrowful mood, highlighting the agony and despair of the singer's situation.
