She would remain with the group until 2001 when they split up due to personal differences. In 2003 Lene released her first and (so far) only album, Play With Me, which performed poorly in Scandinavia. However, this lacklustre performance did not affect her single sales with It's Your Duty peaking at number 3 in Denmark followed by Pretty Young Thing, the follow-up single in 2004.
Lene's most recent release was in early 2005, when she performed vocals on the Danish tsunami single in 2004, which made number one in Denmark. She also contributed to husband Søren Rasted's "Lazyboy TV" album by being featured on the song "I Love New York".
Surprise
Lene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aren't you glad did you miss me
Surprise I'm still here
But I can't stay for the evening
But here just press play
It's my new song
Now why you weeping ? no no no no
I really don't really need your sad approval
Let me state the facts
I would never bring you a glass of flowers
Trying to get you back
I really don't really need your sad approval
Let me state the facts
I'm at the top and I'm not gonna drop
Little baby
Surprise I'm a pro
Though you told me to rethink
Surprise this is, is 'TYE'
She's my girl
Look at my ring
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Lene's song Surprise clearly express a sense of arrogance and defiance, as if the singer is provoking and confronting someone who has disregarded them in some way. The opening lines of the song, "Surprise I'm still here, Aren't you glad did you miss me", suggest that the singer is addressing someone who didn't think they would still be around, possibly an ex-lover or someone who didn't believe in their potential. The line "But I can't stay for the evening" implies that the singer is in a hurry to leave, indicating that this confrontation is not a friendly one.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is a musician, as they refer to their new song and urge the person to press play. There is a sense of a power struggle in the lines "Now why you weeping? no no no no/Now don't, don't try to mess with me/I really don't really need your sad approval/Let me state the facts". The singer seems to be confident in their abilities and is not seeking anyone's validation, but at the same time, they are lashing out at someone who they feel is trying to bring them down.
Towards the end, the song takes on a more positive note, as the singer reveals that they are with their partner and proudly shows off their ring. The chorus repeats the line "Surprise I'm still here", but this time it feels like a statement of triumph, as if the singer has defied their detractors and come out victorious. Overall, the lyrics of Surprise speak of resilience, self-belief, and standing up to those who doubt you or try to bring you down.
