Lingerbliss began in 2003 as a piano and voice duet. By then it received the name of “Obscure Season”, and composition sessions were far away from being productive.

In 2003 we put the project on hiatus in order to fully devote ourselves to Decay of Mankind (gothic metal band, 2003-2008), which consumed too much time and resources as to keep up with both projects at the same time.

With D.o.M. we had great experiences. We got to know the local scene, other bands from the genre, people who taught us many important things. We also had the opportunity to play as support act of internationally recognized bands as Anathema, Lacrimosa and Within Temptation.

In 2008, Decay of Mankind got dissolved, after almost five years of history. The disharmony between different expectations and visions about the project’s horizon led to its dissolution, and so its members split ways.

As soon as this happened, Anathema and I (Lucille) decided to resume our old ideas set aside in 2003. We renamed the band as “Lingerbliss”.

In May 2008 we started searching for the rest of the crew we needed to complete the line-up. Ripp (Andrés Giuffre) took charge of the guitar, followed by Ézan (Ezequiel Challier) in bass, and Ludwik (Luis Argañaraz) sat behind the drums at last. By November 2008 the line-up was happily closed.

In March 2012 Ludwik left Lingerbliss to pursue a new goal, in his need to explore different musical styles and immersed in his new project.

In October of the same year, after several months of searching for the right candidate, Agustín Traverso joined in and took the role of drummer.

Electricity
Lingerbliss Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

How many nights
Do I have to stay awake
Lighting candles
'cause you aren't here?

My old scrapbook
Lays fatally wounded
With no words in the veins,

How many nights
Do I have to wait
To end up with your silence
And make you come out again?

And shine...for me
You, Electricity.

Swings like a pendulum
Inside, by now
Energy ran out.

She is the whimsical type
She is back tonight
She is welcome
At any time,

May not come when I ask for
But can

Overall Meaning

come when she wants
She is the one who sets me free.

The song Electricity by Lingerbliss is a song about missing someone in a relationship. The singer is constantly waiting and staying up at night, hoping for the other person's return. The lyrics "How many nights do I have to wait to end up with your silence and make you come out again" suggest that the singer is trying to reach out to their partner, hoping for them to communicate and come back to them. The mention of "lighting candles" suggests a sense of romanticism and longing for the other person.

The lyrics "My old scrapbook lays fatally wounded, with no words in the veins" suggest a sense of loss and emptiness from the absence of the other person. The singer may have tried to look back at their memories or writings about their past relationship, but it is no longer fulfilling without the involvement of their partner. The chorus "And shine...for me, you, Electricity" is a metaphor of the partner being the light and spark that brings life and energy to the singer, just like electricity.

In the second verse, the lyrics "Swings like a pendulum inside, by now energy ran out" suggest the singer's emotional state, in which they are constantly fluctuating between missing their partner and feeling drained from waiting. The last lines "She is the one who sets me free" suggest that the partner's return or presence is what brings the singer a sense of freedom and happiness.
