1) An 'ebm' / 'electro-industrial' band (formed 1992, in Belgium), incubated for four years, with influences: Front 242, Klinik & Front Line Assembly. In 1996, they released the Fun single, immediately followed by the début album - soft flesh-hard steel - both on Celtic Circle Prod.. The label also marketed the follow-up, BrainFX, MCD in 1998, just prior to it's collapse.

In 2000, they band inaugurated the new millennium with the disturbing album kmputor, released by Flatline & upon which they revealed an upgraded sound, moving away from their dark elektro roots, towards a more dance-oriented form of electronic music (incorporating goa trance influences & more). A mutation that became even more distinctive on the following double-CD album “Unidentified Flying Frequencies”.After the demise of Flatline Records, IMPLANT returned to Belgian grounds and joined hands with the newly formed but promising Alfa Matrix label. This new collaboration immediately resulted in the “All I Want” single on the split-album “Square Matrix 002” which announced the band’s 4th album “Planet Euphoria”, a release that caught the attention of fans and journalists alike for its trancier vibe, crowned by the vocal collaboration with Canadian female singer Jennifer Parkin (AYRIA, EPSILON MINUS) throughout the entire CD.

The end of 2003 came the release of the ‘Horseback Riding Through Bassfields’, an album that triggered so many questions, not only about the unusual CD title, but also about the direction and ultimate meaning of IMPLANT itself. This album was clearly marked as a turning point in the band’s career, offering a sort of looking glass as to where IMPLANT has been and a glimpse at were they are possibly going. An album that successfully returned to the band’s darker roots progressing further towards intelligent electro, while still offering a solid dance edge. On this new CD, mastermind Len Lemeire teamed up with Myriam Kuliasko, a classical trained jazz singer and was joined on stage by Nicolas (Empusae) on African drums.

2004 saw the release of the successful EP "We Are Doing Fine / Too Many Puppies", and fans were treated to IMPLANT taking to the road again. A tour that highlighted the intensity of the band more than ever before, armed with an ever-growing live reputation acquired over the years through numerous concerts all over the world including 2 shows at the Dour Festival (one of Belgium’s most prestigious underground festivals), 3 slots at the Eurorock Festival (dark wave festival) and a Northern American and Canadian mini-tour.
In addition to his own original compositions, Len Lemeire’s unique approach to remixing also earned him a reputation for releasing captivating product and worldwide respect within the electro community for his stamp of excellence. It is no surprise that bands like SUICIDE COMMANDO, NEON JUDGEMENT, ICON OF COIL, IN STRICT CONFIDENCE, ARMAGEDDON DILDOS, PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE, and many, many more, all received the remix treatment by the IMPLANT genius.
It was also through his dancefloor-killing remix of “Sleeper In Metropolis 3000” that Len got in touch with the legendary poet and singer ANNE CLARK. Together they embarked on a crazy multi-artists event for the Bladelse Summer Festival in 2004, gathering on stage IMPLANT, ANNE CLARK and LUC VAN ACKER for an ultimate ecstatic performance. Planned to be a one-shot show, the symbiosis between the featured artists was so strong that further performances with the same line-up are on the planning.
After a new challenging line-up change, studio guru Len Lemeire surrounded himself this time by sexy Els Van Bijlen on female vocals and the talented Mike Van Raspaarden on live percussion, IMPLANT released his 6th album “Self-inflicted”, preceded by the club-infiltrator "You Can Watch / My Gun" EP in 2005 Together they embarked on a crazy multi-artists event for the Bladelse Summer Festival in 2004, gathering on stage IMPLANT, ANNE CLARK and LUC VAN ACKER for an ultimate ecstatic performance.
This time both the album and the EP feature none other than ANNE CLARK herself as special vocal guest on 2 different songs, next to other guest contributions by artists like RAZED IN BLACK and HUNGRY LUCY.

The intimate “Self-Inflicted” is IMPLANT’s album of maturity on which Len Lemeire once again explores, expands and redefines the limits of his musical spectrum to the maximum. Listeners will discover a special attention that has been reserved especially for the album's strong vocal performances. Modern electronics, sexy female vocals, harsh angry male growls, computer generated melodies, carrying upbeat rhythm patterns and IMPLANT's signature sample manipulations are all on the extended list of the ingredients that make this passionate and provocative album an exploding and eclectic musical cocktail.

High
Implant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always wanted to fly
But I couldn't get my wings
So I decided to stay high
High up in the sky

I always wanted to fly
But I couldn't get my wings
So I decided to stay high

High up in the sky

This ain't no paradise
People out there ain't that nice
So I pretend that I can fly
At least that's why I am high

This ain't no paradise
People out there ain't that nice
So I pretend that I can fly
At least that's why I am high

I can fly when I'm high
I can fly when I'm high
Oh I can fly when I'm high

I can fly when I'm high
I'll fly away from all this lie
I can fly when I'm high
I'll fly away without goodbye

I can fly when I'm high
I'll fly away from all this lie
I can fly when I'm high
I'll fly away without goodbye

I can fly when I'm high
I'll fly away from all this lie
I can fly when I'm high
I'll fly away without goodbye

I always wanted to fly
But I couldn't get my wings
So I decided to stay high
High up in the sky

I always wanted to fly
But I couldn't get my wings

So I decided to stay high
High up in the sky

Overall Meaning

The song "High" by Implant is a reflection of the human desire to escape from the harsh reality of life. The opening line, "I always wanted to fly," speaks to the singer's yearning for freedom, mobility, and escape from the difficulties of life. However, the singer laments that they could not get their wings, indicating that they feel trapped and unable to achieve their dreams. As a result, they turn to drugs or other vices to numb their pain and create a sense of flying, figuratively speaking.

The line "This ain't no paradise" highlights the singer's dissatisfaction with their current reality, indicating that they are looking for a way out. This is reinforced by the phrase "people out there ain't that nice," suggesting that the world is full of negative influences and detractors. However, the singer is determined to create their own version of paradise by pretending to fly. This represents a form of escapism or denial, where the singer is choosing to ignore the problems in their life and retreat into their own world.

The repetition of the line "I can fly when I'm high" reinforces the theme of escape and provides a sense of hope for the singer. The final lines, "I'll fly away without goodbye," suggest that the singer is ready to leave behind any negativity or pain and find their own way to soar. Overall, the song is a commentary on the human desire to escape, but it also highlights the dangers of relying on vices to cope with life's challenges.
