Sexually defiant, open and intensive. Their music tells stories of mental collapse and desperation (Spiral), obsessive memories of a nailed wooden figure of Jesus in Mary’s arms watching your every step (Anywhere), emotional loser destroyed by own mistakes (Sway), manic-depressive psycho hurting his partner and begging for understanding (Tell Me You Understand Me) or a wretch, for whom his opposite “shines too bright” to be loved (Ultraviolet).

This, and many more is hidden beneath the electro-guitar sound of the Prague’s four.
It’s been few years since Janne Marvannen (vocal), Robert Broj (keyboards), I.G. Dvorsky (drums) and Vito Hayek (guitar) kicked off with their well-appraised melancholy debut “Sunrise”. And today, after touring to support their 2007 release “EXIT:NOWhere”, the band is now yet ahead of a new adventure of clearing the bar.

A necessity to learn about this jewel from the heart of Europe for someone loving Depeche Mode, Placebo, IAMX, De/Vision, Mesh or New Order.

Ultraviolet
Lakeside X Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you ever say the story ends
I think I'll understand
If you ever say that's all to give
I think I won't demand

And I feel like
I feel like
Whisper in a vacuum

And I feel like
I feel like
Shadow in a dark room

Shine, so bright
Ultraviolet light
Shine, too bright
Ultraviolet light

Is there any chance to see
Is there any chance for me

You just shine too bright for me
More than any light I see

Overall Meaning

In Lakeside X's song Ultraviolet, the singer is contemplating the possibility that the story between them and their lover might be coming to a close. They express that they would understand if this were the case and that they would not demand anything more from the relationship. The artist then describes the way they feel in this situation. They liken themselves to a whisper in a vacuum, feeling as if they are unheard, and a shadow in a dark room, feeling lost and unimportant.

The chorus of the song talks about the way the lover shines too brightly, like ultraviolet light. The artist wonders if there is any chance for them to see the relationship in a different light or for the relationship to work out, despite feeling overshadowed by their partner. The final line of the song states that the lover shines too bright for them, more than any light they see, implying that the relationship may be too much for the artist to handle.
