1) The Noir Pop/Rock group Lillith actually started as a book project between Camilla Hell and the guitarist Per-Christian Frantzen. They met at a Music/Theater High School, and started collaborating when moving to Oslo. But early on they became increasingly drawn to music and after a few rehearsals Lillith was formed. At this time the music were more like a twisted mix of pop and punk. In 2008 they recruited the bassist and cellist Gregorius Grim Knockelkatt, when meeting him randomly in studio for a demo recording. Lillith is a Norwegian indie band. Their debut album was released in 2010, and the band can finally announce the eagerly-awaited second album to be released this year, 2020. This upcoming album has a far more lighter and melodic atmosphere and shows how the band keep developing their signature sound. The new song material has almost a cinematic feeling to it, inspired by the noir pop genre. This has been noted in an English review of the bands single "Beautiful Dreamers", pointing out the interesting noir pop movement happening in Scandinavia at this moment (Nordic Music Review). Their musical influences are wide spread, from trip hop, punk cabaret to alternative folk, but they all prefer the dark side of the music scene, exemplified by bands like The Doors and Velvet underground. Lillith promises a new album in 2020, with a couple of single releases ahead!!!
we'll do whatever we want
we're the beautiful dreamers

2) Lillith is the sideproject of Yendri. The only album released under this name is Survive the Cold Eternity and is generally more distinct darkwave.
Losing a Friend
Lillith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He went away
And someone said he was my friend
He is not there
Someone took my hand
And dragged me behind
Now I'm useless
In the song "Losing a Friend" by Lillith, the lyrics are speaking about the loss of a friend due to their passing away. At the beginning of the song, the singer mentions that someone told her that her friend is not alone, which indicates that they have passed away and may be in a better place. However, the singer is still struggling with the loss and finding it hard to come to terms with the reality of it all. The use of "went away" further highlights the idea of death, and how someone can simply "go away" and be gone forever.
The singer then mentions how someone told her that her friend was their friend too, which possibly indicates that the friend who passed away was well-liked and a sociable person. The loss of such a person is felt not only by the singer but also by others who knew them. The line "he is not there" is especially poignant as it indicates the finality of death.
The final verses of the song speak about the singer feeling lost and useless after the loss of her friend. The mention of being "dragged behind" and "pushed away" possibly refers to the difficulties of coping with grief and not being able to move on easily.
