2) Infra Red are a minimal electronica band from Germany and Scotland.
The members consist of William Westwater from the theatre macabre band "Fear Incorporated" amongst other musical projects and Klaus Weinrich owner of "Plastic Frog Records" in Germany. The band formed in June 2012 and in August of the same year appeared on a compilation CD 'New Perspectives' released on Plastic Frog Records. The material is synthesiser based with the use of vintage and new instruments alike. The lyrical and musical atmosphere is dark and clinical at times with sci-fi futuristic lyrics painting a 'Brave New World' type picture of modern day society.

Infra-Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will be the one to make you crawl,
So I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday.
Someone call the ambulance.
There's gonna be an accident.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
'Cause I can see in the dark.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
forget your running,
I will find you.
One more thing before we start the final face-off,
I will be the one to watch you fall,
So I came down to crash and burn your bagger's banquet.
Someone call the ambulance.
There's gonna be an accident.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
there is no running that can hide you,
'Cause I can see in the dark.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
forget your running, I will find you.
(find you)
I'm coming up on infra-red,
there is no running that can hide you,
'Cause I can see in the dark.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
forget your running, I will find you.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
there is no running that can hide you,
'Cause I can see in the dark.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
forget your running, I will find you.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
there is no running that can hide you,
'Cause I can see in the dark.
I'm coming up on infra-red,
forget your running, I will find you.
Find you.
Find you.
Find you.
The lyrics of Infra-Red's "Placebo" suggest a feeling of revenge and aggression towards someone (perhaps an estranged lover) who has caused hurt to the singer. The opening lines, "One last thing before I shuffle off the planet, I will be the one to make you crawl," indicate a final confrontation that the singer intends to initiate. The line "I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday" can be interpreted as a reference to the singer's wish for the person to experience discomfort and pain.
The repeated lines, "Someone call the ambulance. There's gonna be an accident," create a sense of foreboding and suggest that the singer may be planning to inflict harm on the other person. The chorus, "I'm coming up on infra-red, there is no running that can hide you, 'Cause I can see in the dark," further emphasizes the singer's determination to track down and confront their target, regardless of where they may try to hide.
The final verse, "One more thing before we start the final face-off, I will be the one to watch you fall, So I came down to crash and burn your bagger's banquet," reinforces the idea of a violent confrontation between the two parties. Overall, the lyrics of "Placebo" display a dark and intense energy, showcasing the complexity of human emotions in the face of betrayal and hurt.
