The band has been around since the early 90's, and has a sound not unlike VNV Nation, Assemblage 23, and many other popular EBM/Synthpop artists.

Slow Motion
Lights of Euphoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So alone
Do you know
On my own
Artificial light was the only sign of life
My legs are moving in slowmotion
Here I stand
Stuck for life in my dreams
Nightlife
It was so blinding, mesmerising
Hurting me
Burning me
A question to my creator
Would you be there for me?
My legs are moving in slowmotion
Here I stand
Captivated
Stuck for life in my dreams
Nightlife
I was alone
So alone
Express your delight
It's okay when you need me
You need me now
The opening lines of Lights of Euphoria's song Slow Motion convey a sense of utter loneliness and despair. The singer is all by themselves and surrounded by artificial light, the only indication of any kind of life. It's a stark and deeply affecting image that highlights the sense of isolation and alienation that many people experience. The lyrics give the impression that the singer is searching for something meaningful in their life, something to pull them out of the darkness and into the light.
The chorus of the song reinforces this sense of being trapped, "My legs are moving in slowmotion / Here I stand / Captivated / Stuck for life in my dreams / Nightlife." The singer seems to be stuck in a rut, unable to move forward, lost in their own world. The repetition of the phrase 'slow motion' reinforces the feeling of being stuck, as if everything around them is happening at a snail's pace.
The song has a powerful and emotional tone, it speaks to a very real sense of loneliness and the desire for something more. The lines "Express your delight / It's okay when you need me / You need me now" offer a glimmer of hope, a suggestion that there is somebody out there who cares and can help the singer escape their isolation.
