1) Kontinuum is an ambient metal band from Reykjavik, Iceland. Started as the brainchild of Birgir Thorgeirsson, a founding and current member of dark metal act Potentiam. The seed of Kontinuum started way back in 2001 when Birgir teamed up with former Potentiam drummer Kristjan Heidarsson to record an EP called Burned and Battered under the band name Pornea. This was an experimental metal project mixing doom with punk and dark atmospheric metal. Nothing happened for many years while Birgir continued working in Potentiam and Kristjan in Changer and Dark Harvest.
After the standard musical frustration, self doubt, and in absence of his main band Birgir began working on Kontinuum with more focus. It was 2010 Kontinuum was born with the aim to make hypnotic and spiritual musical noise. “I wanted to make music I liked, honest music with less constraints and room for various genre influences but without leaving my musical roots, one that could surprise, tell me something and take me somewhere. It was and is a spiritual process.” Pre-productions of the first album “Earth Blood Magic” was sent to a few labels and got an immediate positive feedback. In 2011 Kontinuum entered the Sundlaugin studio in Iceland to begin recording of the first full length album. The band now has a full lineup with Ingi Thor Palsson on guitar formerly of icelandic hardcore legends I Adapt, Engilbert Hauksson also of Potentiam on bass and Thorlakur Thor Gudmundsson. Kontinuum inked a deal with Candlelight Records in 2012.

Kontinuum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dream
Of thing far away
Maybe you lurk behind the skies
My mind keeps failing me

Can you fall in love with me
Before I die like you
Can you dream of anything

Because we are everything

The sea is still
It's waiting for someone
Does the wind
Show the way to you?
Dry mouth

Can you fall in love with me
Before I die like you
Can you dream of anything
Because we are everything

Does the sun shine on your face
I lie here now awaiting you

Can you help me up again
When I come to see you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kontinuum's song Red appear to be about longing for something or someone far away, perhaps even in another dimension or plane of existence. The dream-like quality of the song is both soothing and unsettling, as the singer's mind keeps failing them in their search for whatever it is they're looking for.

The line "Can you fall in love with me before I die like you" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer may be dead or dying themselves, and hoping for someone to join them in the afterlife. The repeated refrain "Because we are everything" gives a sense of unity and interconnectedness, as if the singer is searching for someone to share in the vastness of existence with.

The sea and wind imagery also contribute to the dreamy, otherworldly feel of the song, with the stillness of the water representing a waiting, anticipation, and the wind perhaps showing a way towards the unknown. The final lines of the song, "Does the sun shine on your face / I lie here now awaiting you / Can you help me up again / When I come to see you" depict a sense of waiting and longing that is ultimately unfulfilled.

Line by Line Meaning

I dream
I am imagining something in my sleep or imagination

Of thing far away
I'm thinking of something that is very distant or elusive

Maybe you lurk behind the skies
Perhaps you are hiding beyond the sky

My mind keeps failing me
My thoughts are not consistent, they keep disappearing

Can you fall in love with me
Is it possible that you can love me romantically

Before I die like you
Before I perish like you did

Can you dream of anything
Are you capable of imagination

Because we are everything
We are the universe, we are each other

The sea is still
The ocean is calm and peaceful

It's waiting for someone
It is eagerly waiting for someone to arrive

Does the wind
I wonder if the breeze
