After the said releases, the band was granted a deal with Napalm Records, which included five albums. A 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.
Filthy Notes For Frozen Hearts received considerable attention from Jackass star Bam Margera and the songs "My Velvet Little Darkness", "Short Glance", "Should" and "Sweet Caroline" along with a vocal excerpt from "Sad Theme for a Marriage" were played on his show Bam's Unholy Union.
In April 2007, Christopher Schmid, the band's founding member's brother and vocalist left the band; citing prolonged stress from touring. It did not take long to find a new vocalist: Peter Kafka, who also sings for the German band Sonicslave. The former singer Christopher Schmid still takes part of the writing of the new lyrics, however, and has occasionally been seen singing for the band in concerts. A few months later bassist Daniel Lechner left the band and vocalist Peter Kafka became the new bassist. Rob Vitacca employed as the new vocalist, who also sings for the German Rock band Lost. Long time keyboardist Christian Steiner also left the band, but supplied some parts for the new album. Songs For The Last View was released in the summer of 2008. This was the first album featuring their new singer, Rob Vitacca.
Lacrimas Profundere's, The Grandiose Nowhere was released on 30 April 2010. The album spawned two singles "The Letter" and "Lips". Videos for each song were made; they also toured in places across Asia and South America.
Antiadore was released on May 24, 2013, with two music videos for "My Release in Pain" and "Antiadore", as their last album for the contract with Napalm Records.
In June 2016, Lacrimas Profundere signed with a new label, Oblivion/SPV, whom they collaborated with for the production and distribution of their eleventh studio album, Hope is Here, which was released on August 12, 2016. With the release of said album, the band moved slightly away from their classic gothic tendencies, in lieu of a sound resembling more closely that of alternative rock. Following the release of Hope is Here, the band toured across Germany and Austria.
In May 2018, Oliver Schmid announced through the bands' social media and on their website, that Rob Vitacca had decided to leave the band in pursuit of other musical projects, "LACRIMAS just cannot work without complete and constant dedication. And giving such a full-time commitment simply isn't possible for Rob anymore." The band took very little time to find a new vocalist, Julian Larre, who is also a founding member of the Finnish band Lessdmv.
In celebration of 25 years as a band, the band went back to the band's roots with a more gothic sound and guttural voices on Bleeding the Stars. This was the first album featuring their new vocalist, Julian Larre.
Infinity
Lacrimas Profundere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
alone
and everything
...infinity cannot be eternity
The lyrics of Lacrimas Profundere's song, "Infinity," are powerfully evocative and touch on themes of isolation, meaninglessness, and the nature of existence. The opening lines, "It's nothing, alone, and everything," suggest a paradoxical view of reality, in which the absence of something can be just as significant as its presence. The use of the word "alone" also implies a sense of isolation or detachment from the world around us.
The next line, "...infinity cannot be eternity," reinforces this sense of the limitations of human understanding. Infinity is a concept that seems to go beyond our grasp, but it is also limited by our ability to comprehend it. The idea that something could be infinite but not eternal suggests that our attempts to understand the world around us are always incomplete, that there is always more to be known.
Taken together, these lyrics paint a picture of a world that is both overwhelming and deeply mysterious, one in which we are constantly seeking meaning and connection even as we struggle to make sense of our place in it. "Infinity" is a haunting and thought-provoking song that invites listeners to think deeply about the nature of existence and their own place within it.
Line by Line Meaning
It's nothing
Nothingness or emptiness is all that exists in this universe
alone
All entities and beings are isolated and solitary in this world
and everything
Despite being lonely and alone, everything in this vast universe exists within our own perception
...infinity cannot be eternity
The state of infinity is not eternal, but rather it is a fleeting moment that is a part of our own understanding and experiences of life
