2) IRIS originally called "Forgiving Iris", started in 1993 when two members of a Texas college electronic music class, Reagan Jones and Matt Morris, realized they had identical tastes in music. The band began playing covers of their favorite songs at clubs in town, and slowly gained a following. A lucky break led to Iris playing at the KRBE 104.1 festival in Houston with acts like C&C Music Factory and Lucas, as well as a performance at the side stage of the Duran Duran / Waterlilies concert that same year. After the appearance of an early version of the track "Annie, Would I Lie To You" on various compilations, the band signed with Todd Durrant from A Different Drum, and work began on the first record.

3) Iris is a Romanian hard rock band. It was established in 1977 by Ion Dumitrescu (drums), Nuţu Olteanu (lead solo guitar and vocals) and Emil Lechinţeanu (bass guitar). They achieved a huge success, followed by tours throughout Romania and recordings for radio broadcast.
The democratic regime installed after 1989 offered the group a chance they couldn’t have in the communist regime. They started appearing on TV and having tours in Italy. They celebrated their 15th anniversary at an international rock festival in 1991 and 1992 beside Ian Gillan Band, and 25 years in 2001 with Uriah Heep.

In The Clear
Iris Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come no closer
I am not yet over
Morphing into color
In a sea of light
I love you all

And I’ll disappear
Vaporizing

A phantom in thin air
To be invisible is without fear
I exist in the clear

Yearning forward
Ever since I yondered
Let the sun rise over
Where the water’s calling my name

And I’ll disappear
Vanish with no trace
Into thin air I erase
I feel invisible
Left without fear
I exist in the clear

It’s not as real, it’s not as real
To lead by tone and guide by feel
I’m not as real, I’m not as real
I’m not as real, I’m not as real

Yearning forward
Ever since I yondered
Let the sun rise over
Where the water’s calling my name

And I disappear
Vaporizing
You never see a thing
‘Cause I’m invisible

Roam without fear
I was born in the clear

Overall Meaning

The song "In The Clear" by Iris speaks about the idea of disappearing and becoming invisible. Iris refers to the doubts and fears of someone who doesn't quite fit in or belong anywhere. The opening line of the chorus "Come no closer, I am not yet over" suggests a sense of vulnerability and a need for personal space. The line "Morphing into color in a sea of light" signifies the emotions of the singer, who feels like a small fish in a vast and overwhelming world.

The lyrics also describe a sense of yearning and search for purpose. The singer is hoping to find a place where they belong or a person who will understand them. They feel invisible, but also free and fearless. The line "I feel invisible, left without fear" represents the idea that sometimes being invisible can be liberating, as one can move around and do as they please without attracting attention. The song ends with "I was born in the clear," signifying a clear, blank slate, unobscured by the chaos of the world.

Don't get too close to me

I am not yet over

Transforming into something more vivid

In a sea of light
Surrounded by brightness

I will vanish

An apparition in the atmosphere
