Lacrim… Read Full Bio ↴Lacrimas Profundere is a gothic-doom metal band from Germany.

Lacrimas Profundere was founded in 1993 by guitarist Oliver Schmid. At the time, the band was strongly influenced by doom metal, and made use of feminine vocals and classical elements. With the entrance of vocalist Anja Hötzendorfer, they drew enough attention to themselves to be able to record their debut, entitled ... and the Wings Embraced Us, which was released in 1995 and was followed by La Naissance d’un Rêve, from 1997.
After said releases, the band was granted a deal with Napalm Records which included five albums. An harpist was added to the band's line-up and they proceeded to record Memorandum (1999).
Burning: A Wish from 2001 was Lacrimas Profundere's first album to receive attention from the international specialized press. This album featured the removal of the band's classical elements to some degree, and was also the first time they employed baritone vocals, supplied by Oliver's brother, Christopher Schmid. Their first international tour then began, including countries of Europe and Latin America.
Lacrimas Profundere's subsequent albums were Fall, I Will Follow from 2002 and Ave End from 2004. Recently their newest albums has been brought in the shops: Filthy Notes for Frozen Hearts.
Again, the formula of heavy guitars and the low smooth voice of the leadsinger brings a nice soothing sound. The dark soft song "Sad Theme For A Marriage" will sure keep you in silence...

Sarah Lou
LacrimasProfundere Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on Sarah
For you you said
Leave me alone
So what did I have
I died for
Try to understand
I did it all I wanted you
Sarah Lou

But you can't deny
That every time was just for you
Sarah Lou
No more no end
To beg for you
But just don't trust
It's over
To finish it
What have you done for me
I will do something for you
After all that shit
You will spit your blood

Breathe your last breath for me
Leave me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of LacrimasProfundere's song "Sarah Lou" tell a story of unrequited love and regret. The song begins with the singer begging Sarah to understand that everything he did was for her. He expresses his love for her and how everything he did was just for her. However, Sarah seems to have rejected his advances and asked him to leave her alone, which has left him heartbroken.

The tone of the song becomes slightly aggressive as the singer talks about how he has begged for Sarah's attention with no end in sight. He goes on to say that he will do something for her, even after all the "shit" that has happened between them. The song ends with a dark and ominous line, "you will spit your blood, breathe your last breath for me, leave me."

The lyrics of the song are open to interpretation, but one possible reading is that the singer is willing to do anything to win over Sarah, even if it means harming her. The repeated use of her name, "Sarah Lou," suggests a strong attachment and obsession with her. The reference to her spitting blood and breathing her last breath for him is a chilling image and reinforces the idea that the singer's love is unhealthy and potentially dangerous.
