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.

You Don't Believe Me
Haus Arafna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you home will burn
you'll burn
what's holding you
you don't believe me when i say to you
that in front of the door they're asking for you
asking for you
behind the dor is the freedom you seek
all you need
walking out of the dooris the begining of life
don't waste any time anymore
anymore
don't battle yourself
don't be this craven fool
who don't know what to do
who don't know what to do
who don't know what to do
who can't decide what to do
go out of this house
leave your fears behind and wonder what you will find
you will find a life but you don't believe me
you don't believe me
you don't believe
with selfdeception
cowardice
abjectly bent
there will be nothing left to lament
you don't want to believe
you don't want to believe
you don't want to believe
are you afraid of death
are you afraid of
The lyrics of You Don't Believe Me by Haus Arafna speak about a protagonist who is stuck in a house or a situation that they need to get out of. The singer is urging the singer to leave the house and find freedom, joy and the beginning of a new life. However, the singer is resistant to the singer's urging and believes that their home will not burn and that they will not face any danger outside. The singer is battling with their own fears and self-doubt, and seems to be in denial about the fact that they need to leave the house.
The song uses strong and vivid imagery to convey the urgency of the situation. The line "with self-deception, cowardice, abjectly bent, there will be nothing left to lament" suggests that if the singer does not leave the house, they will regret it later. Furthermore, the line "behind the door is the freedom you seek, the release of your heart and all the joys you need" is a powerful metaphorical representation of the singer's situation, implying that the solution to their problems is just on the other side of the door, waiting for them to take the first step.
The overall message of the song is about taking chances and not being afraid to take risks in order to find happiness and freedom. It's a call to action for those who are scared to leave their comfort zones and start anew.
