In collaboration with people like Leif Edling (Candlemass, Krux) Mats Levén (Krux, ex Therion, Y. Malmsteen) and Declan Burke (Darwins radio, Frost) among many others, He gives us an album with the ambient but symphonic production known from Carptree and with a clear presence of Heavier elements . Big arrangements, small details, different vocalists and musicians specially chosen for each song makes it divers and intriguing. You are given one hour of music and exclusive artwork, once again by the independent Label FOSFOR Creation
Now in 2009, Jupiter Society releases the sequel called "Terraform" again with a lot of prominent fellow musicians like the last time, slightly different crew this time with Kulle and Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt) on lead guitars, and Lars Sköld (Tiamat) on Drums and also Christer Jansson (Roxette among many others) on additional Drums. Mats Levén (krux, ex Therion, ex Y.Malmsteen and others) and Leif Edling (Candlemass, Krux) are still members of the society among others.

Abduction
Jupiter Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People reappear, some with amnesia, others with spectacular stories.
In the same second but from two different worlds, Keith and Jane disappear.
[Hallucination]
Revolving' absorption' the voices of distortion
Relay with distant cries with truth and fiction hide
Illusion' obsession' recounts the revelation
The trails across the northern sky of deepest grey
And slowly as I'm mesmerized, regressive state
Assumptions that were made now fade away
Taken to somewhere, I have never been
Everywhere' always everywhere
Hear a silent scream made real by what is seen
[The Abductor]
This is nothing like abduction, more disintegrated existence
Their feeble minds conjuring understandable explanations
All their guilt working as a collective, fabrication time lost in non-existence
Space/time continuum complete domination, the truth is much, much worse
Paralyzed Paralyzed into submission, Paralyzed into a void of dehumanisation
Paralyzed Paralyzed waiting for their incisions, Paralyzed waiting for their probes
[Hallucination]
Faces in a crowded space, I hesitate
Like something from inside a dream that's here to stay
Everywhere' always everywhere
Hear a silent scream made real by what is seen
[The Abducted]
Totally exposed on a bare metal surface,_room without walls, room without air
Incomprehensible light, droning sounds,_no one listening, no one looking
Can not breathe, can not think, can not see,_like a bad dream but no one's asleep
Bright light of pain soaring through my nerves,_and bright white nothing floating through my veins
[Hallucination]
Reflection' detection' reports of mass rejection
The sceptic leads the cry, maintained by his desire
Sequential disorder' delusion, ever forward
Paralyzed Paralyzed into submission, Paralyzed into a void of dehumanisation
Paralyzed Paralyzed waiting for their incisions, Paralyzed waiting for their probes
The lyrics of Jupiter Society's song Abduction are a haunting description of the mysterious phenomenon of people disappearing and reappearing with strange stories or no memory at all. The opening lines suggest the confusion and unreliability of such accounts. The song then takes on a more ominous tone with the descriptions of an abduction experience from both the perspective of the hallucinatory victim and the abductor.
The hallucinatory victim describes the experience of being taken to "somewhere, I have never been" and seeing faces "like something from inside a dream that's here to stay." The repeated refrain of "Hear a silent scream made real by what is seen" underscores the terror and confusion of the experience.
The abductor's perspective is that the abductions are not what they seem, but rather a disintegration of existence and collective fabrication of lost time. The description of the victims being paralyzed and exposed on a bare metal surface with no air or walls creates a sense of helplessness and dread.
Overall, the lyrics of Abduction create a sense of mystery, fear, and powerlessness in the face of the unknown.
