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.

The Emptiness Behind
Lillith Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Emptyness behind
Oh in my dreams I can see...
We are so blind
In reality

Where there should be something
Nothing is there
That's why we're searching forever

Everytime and everywhere

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "The Emptiness Behind" by Lillith explore the idea of searching for something that may not exist in our reality. The first two lines suggest a desire to see beyond what is present in our everyday life. However, the following lines express a deep sense of disillusionment as the singer realizes that what is being sought may not even exist.

The line "Where there should be something, nothing is there" speaks to the disappointment and frustration that can come with searching endlessly for answers or meaning that may not be there. The final line "That's why we're searching forever, everytime and everywhere" highlights the idea that this search is ongoing and may never be satisfied.

Overall, the song expresses a sense of longing for something more, while also recognizing the difficulty and potential futility of such a search. It encourages listeners to reflect on what they are searching for in their own lives and whether it is truly attainable.

Line by Line Meaning

The Emptiness behind
The void within oneself

Oh in my dreams I can see...
The state of realization in dreams

We are so blind
Lack of perception in reality

In reality
The true state of existence

Where there should be something
The expectation of something meaningful

Nothing is there
The absence of meaning or purpose

That's why we're searching forever
The endless search for meaning and purpose

Every time and everywhere
The search for meaning and purpose exists in all aspects of life
