The Korsakoff project was started by Bart Kok in 2001, in order to release more melodic and mainstream-oriented material than with his main alias Catscan. Bart first used the fake identity of Jeroen Kanon to sign the Korsakoff tracks.
In 2004, when Bart left the Third Movement label to found the Pro Artist Management label together with DJ X-Ess, the Korsakoff project started being fronted by van der Eng. Since then she appears on the covers of Korsakoff releases and performs deejaying as DJ Korsakoff, but at the beggining, most tracks were composed and produced by Bart (sometimes with Outblast).
Nowadays she produces the tracks by herself and Korsakoff is only Lindsay van der Eng.
Korsakoff’s first became known in 2004 when she and Dj Outblast produced the official Masters Of Hardcore anthem: “Unleash the Beast”. Unleash the Beast was broadcasted on television network The Box as a promotional stunt for Masters Of Hardcore. That year things developed pretty fast, as she was booked to play at some of the biggest hardcore events; Thunderdome, Masters Of Hardcore and BASSLEADER.

Cameras, action, lights, crisis, c'mon
Cameras, action, lights, issues, payback
Cameras, action, lights, sickness, lockdown
Cameras, action, better go to hell, get it, lookout, come on
Get it now, sound, come on
Real thing, uh!
Get it now, sound, payback, come on!
Ya'll don't know nothin' about this
Look out, uh!
Whiplash, come on!
Payback
Better go to hell, lookout, get it

Cameras, action, lights, issues, payback
Cameras, action, lights, sickness, lockdown

The lyrics to "Amber" by Korsakoff are difficult to interpret with certainty, as they are largely composed of disconnected phrases and repetitions of the title words "cameras, action, lights" interspersed with other phrases like "payback" and "get it now." However, it seems likely that the song is meant to convey a sense of chaos and urgency, possibly related to the way that modern society is constantly under surveillance and subject to media scrutiny. The repeated phrases may represent the way that people become absorbed in these cycles of action and reaction, without having any real sense of control over what is happening or why.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that they are describing a particular moment in time when something drastic is happening, like a crisis or lockdown, and people are being forced to respond quickly and decisively. In this situation, there is a sense of danger and urgency, as well as a feeling that everything is being captured on camera and will be scrutinized later on. The phrase "better go to hell" could be interpreted as a warning or a challenge to those who are not prepared to handle the situation or who lack the courage to take action.
Overall, the lyrics to "Amber" are enigmatic and open to interpretation, but they seem to convey a sense of urgency and chaos, as well as a feeling of being watched and scrutinized by outside forces.
