Da5id Din and Matthew Crofoot, two Boston studio owners, decided to become Informatik in 1993 after recognizing common musical tastes.
The duo, who had previously worked separately as Acme Disco Machine and Struktur, began recording and released their debut album Direct Memory Access on Sinless Records. The second volume of the album was released two years later. ~ John Bush
Juliet
Informatik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck on someone else
But when I laid my eyes on you
I was in your spell
Hypnotized as I watched you dance
All I knew I had to take a chance
But when you kissed me goodbye
That′s when I learned your name
I'm so lost
I′ll pay any cost
I'd risk it all for you
It's true because a rose
By any other name
Would smell as sweet to me
Oh Juliet
My Juliet
Snuck into the garden to see you
But not get caught
Because your parents did not approve
It was not my fault
Then I heard you say my name
Asked me was this just a game
I told you my heart was true
And you vowed to be mine
Then fate took an ugly turn and sent me far from home
The thought was killing me that you were all alone
Our love was meant to be cause you and I are one
But we′ve made some enemies this fight has just begun
When I learned the news of you
My heart broke in two
I didn′t want to believe it true
Oh what am I do
I made one stop along the way
To find a cure for my pain
Now i lie down by your side
To be with you my angel

Uninvited to the party
I was not supposed to be there
Stuck on someone else
I was infatuated with someone else
But when I laid my eyes on you
But then I saw you
I was in your spell
I was bewitched by you
Hypnotized as I watched you dance
Mesmerized by your dancing
All I knew I had to take a chance
I had to take a risk and talk to you
But when you kissed me goodbye
But only after we said goodbye with a kiss
That′s when I learned your name
I only learned your name after we parted
I'm so lost
I am confused and unsure
I′ll pay any cost
I will do anything for you
I'd risk it all for you
I would put everything on the line for you
It's true because a rose
It's true, because a rose
By any other name
Even if called something else
Would smell as sweet to me
Would still be beautiful to me
Oh Juliet
Oh my love
My Juliet
My love
Snuck into the garden to see you
Sneaked into your garden to see you
But not get caught
But without getting caught
Because your parents did not approve
Because your parents disapproved of us
It was not my fault
It was not my doing
Then I heard you say my name
Then I heard you call my name
Asked me was this just a game
Asked whether our love was real or a game
I told you my heart was true
I assured you that my love was sincere
And you vowed to be mine
And you promised to be mine
Then fate took an ugly turn and sent me far from home
Then fate intervened and sent me far from where you are
The thought was killing me that you were all alone
The thought of you being alone was unbearable
Our love was meant to be cause you and I are one
Our love was destined to be, we are meant to be together
But we′ve made some enemies this fight has just begun
But we have made some enemies and the battle is just starting
When I learned the news of you
When I heard the latest about you
My heart broke in two
My heart shattered
I didn′t want to believe it true
I didn't want to accept it as truth
Oh what am I do
Oh what should I do
I made one stop along the way
I made a stop on my journey
To find a cure for my pain
To find a way to ease my pain
Now i lie down by your side
I am now beside you
To be with you my angel
To be with you, my love
