The Dutch outfit was composed of Marcel Coenen (guitar), Barend Tromp (bass and stick), Gregoor van der Loo (vocals), Franck Faber (keys), and Nathan van de Wouw (drums). Their first album, Insights, was released in 1996. The follow-up, Divided, came out in 1999, and the title would prove to be prophetic as the band decided to call it quits while working on the writing for what would have been their third album.

Intuition
Lemur Voice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gusts of color, senses of energy enter the realm of intuition.
The question of validity is rhetorical in presence of Nature's purity
A child's honesty, strength through vulnerability

Yet feel the overwhelming beauty of intuition
By concentrating on positive energy flows
That emerge in your aura
Stop confining yourself, open up

Stop confining yourself, open up

True appreciation of faith, openness without fear
Devotion from the heart and crystal clear
consciousness

Yet feel the overwhelming beauty of intuition
By concentrating on positive energy flows
That emerge in your aura
Stop confining yourself, open up
Stop confining yourself, open up

Dimensions order increases infinitely
Unbelief finds its roots in narrow-minded crowds
The blind who deny the possibility of sight
The deaf who can't find empirical proof
For the existence of sound

Yet feel the overwhelming beauty of intuition
By concentrating on positive energy flows
That emerge in your aura

Stop confining yourself, open up
Stop confining yourself, open up

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song, "Gusts of color, senses of energy enter the realm of intuition" sets a surreal and mystical tone for the rest of the song. These lines bring out the idea of sensory perception and how it is a vital element of intuition. The intuition is associated with nature's purity, which eliminates the question of its validity. The next line "A child's honesty, strength through vulnerability" could be interpreted in different ways, but it is mainly about the purity and simplicity of intuition. Children tend to trust their intuition without questioning it, which means they are vulnerable in a way. However, this vulnerability is also a source of strength as it enables them to be honest and true to themselves. The message conveyed in these lines is that intuition is a beautiful force and a valuable tool that can guide us through life.

The chorus "Yet feel the overwhelming beauty of intuition / By concentrating on positive energy flows / That emerge in your aura / Stop confining yourself, open up / Stop confining yourself, open up" brings out the idea of tapping into positive energy flows to strengthen intuition. These lines emphasize the importance of trusting intuition and not confining oneself, but instead opening up to new experiences and possibilities. There is no need to doubt our inner voice, as intuition can lead us to truth and clarity.

The verse, "Dimensions order increases infinitely / Unbelief finds its roots in narrow-minded crowds / The blind who deny the possibility of sight / The deaf who can't find empirical proof / For the existence of sound" talks about the limitations of the rational mind and how it can prevent one from having faith in intuition. The idea of dimensions order increasing infinitely states that there is a vast unexplored realm beyond our limited understanding. The lines that follow talk about how the narrow-minded crowd can make the mistake of not believing in intuition because they don't have empirical proof. This verse brings the song to a conclusion by stating that just like the blind and deaf, those who do not trust intuition are limiting themselves from experiencing the truth of the world.
