After a line up change the third and more powerful LANFEAR album "The Art Effect" was recorded in Dreamscape studios, Munich, and was released in Europe by Massacre records (March 2003). The reactions from press and fans were fantastic, “The Art Effect” received great reviews, achieved top rankings in some of the greatest Metal magazines and sold very good.
LANFEAR played many gigs and festivals in 2003 and 2004 and also started songwriting for their next album. In September 2004 they took the offer from INTROMENTAL management, Denmark, and decided to cooperate, just to do the next step on the ladder and to reach an even larger audience.
In October recordings to the fourth album „aNother gOlden rAge“ began. The songs best can be described as the next logical step compared to “The Art Effect”. Stirring and varied songwriting with the necessary rough edges, catchy hooks and a production with even more punch characterize the fourth LANFEAR album.
"aNother gOlden rAge" was released in January 2005, the reactions again were incredible.
At the same time LANFEAR signed a licensing deal with Nightmare records, as a result
"The Art Effect" and "aNother gOlden rAge" are now officially available in the U.S. .
In April/May LANFEAR supported Morgana Lefay on their European tour to promote the new album - responses were great!
In the beginning of 2006 LANFEAR decided to split up with Tobias Althammer (vocals).
Luckily it took not very long to find Nuno Miguel de Barros Fernandes (ex-Anguish), more than just a "replacement". Nuno Fernandez convinces with a supremely variable voice and the necessary grasp for haunting melodies.
Meanwhile LANFEAR work on their fifth album and will of course as always come up with some surprises...be prepared!
Twilight
Lanfear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There lies another time
Where darkness and light are one
And as your tread the halls of sanity
You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond
I have a message from another time
The visions dancing in my mind
Twilight crawling through my window pane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight — I only meant to stay a while
Twilight — I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
Across the light I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here but can you take me back
Inside the image of you light
That now is day and once was night
You leave me here and then you go away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight — I only meant to stay a while
Twilight — I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
You brought me here but
Can you take me back again
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between
Twilight — I only meant to stay a while
Twilight — I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
I only meant to stay a while
Twilight — I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me
The song "Twilight" by Lanfear describes a feeling of being caught between two worlds, in a state of limbo where reality and dreams blend together. The opening lines suggest that there is another time beyond the waking mind, where the line between darkness and light becomes blurred. The singer is unable to fully enter this alternate reality, but they receive a message from it nonetheless.
The chorus repeats the word "twilight", which seems to represent this in-between state. The singer is unsure if they are awake or dreaming and is confronted with strange visions. They see someone they refer to as "you", who came to them "from the open skies" with "scarlet lies" - perhaps an otherworldly being or a symbol of temptation.
Despite feeling like they've had their mind stolen, the singer is nostalgic for their time in this state of twilight. They want to go back but are left with uncertainty and confusion. Overall, the song explores the idea of being stuck between realities and the allure of a dreamlike state that may not be entirely safe or desirable.
Line by Line Meaning
Just on the border of your waking mind
There exists another time that is just beyond your conscious awareness
There lies another time
This alternate reality exists and is accessible
Where darkness and light are one
This other world is a place where the duality of light and dark merge
And as your tread the halls of sanity
As you continue to live in the rational world
You feel so glad to be unable to go beyond
You feel safe inside the boundary of rationality and are glad you cannot access this other reality
I have a message from another time
I am a messenger from this alternate reality
The visions dancing in my mind
I have images and ideas from this other world in my head
The early dawn, the shades of time
These visions include themes of time and the passage of it
Twilight crawling through my window pane
The experience of this alternate realm is creeping into my mind
Am I awake or do I dream?
I am uncertain of whether this reality is real or not
The strangest pictures I have seen
The images from this realm are unlike anything I have experienced in reality
Night is day and twilight's gone away
The concepts of day and night are blurred in this other world
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You exude confidence and untruthfulness
You came down to me from the open skies
You appeared to me without warning
It's either real or it's a dream
I am not sure if this is actual reality or a figment of my imagination
There's nothing that is in between
There is no middle ground between reality and imagination
Twilight — I only meant to stay a while
I didn't intend to stay long in this other reality
Twilight — I gave you time to steal my mind
But I allowed myself to be lost in this realm for a period of time
Away from me
I am asking to be returned to my own reality
Across the light I saw your face
I saw your face in the distance
You disappeared without a trace
You vanished without a sign
You brought me here but can you take me back
You were responsible for bringing me to this alternate world, can you return me?
Inside the image of you light
The image of you is a source of illumination in this world
That now is day and once was night
The concept of day and night is still blurred in this realm
You leave me here and then you go away
You abandoned me in this other reality
I only meant to stay a while
I intentionally didn't plan to be here for long
You brought me here but
I am still in this alternate realm
Can you take me back again
Can you return me to my own reality?
Twilight — I gave you time to steal my mind
I allowed myself to become lost in this other world for a period of time
Away from me
I am requesting to be returned to my own reality
