The lyrical themes on “The Empty Frame” focus mainly on life changing events and how random circumstances and coincidences in life lead to great upheavals, loss, sadness, disillusion but also provides new opportunities and possibilities of filling out the empty frame – a symbol of life yet to be lived. And as always MALRUN’s lyrical universe is spiced with little pieces of every-day life, irony, sarcasm, humour and sex.
After MALRUNs debut album from 2010 received average European ratings of 8 out of 10 MALRUN began focusing outside the borders of Denmark on a more international set up. Now Dragon Productions from Hamburg handles European booking for MALRUN while Gordeon Music from Berlin handles European PR and advertising, and MALRUN has already shared the bill with bands such as Staind (US), Týr (Faroe Islands) and Mercenary (DK). In the spring 2011 MALRUN went on tour with Audrey Horne (NO) in Germany and Switzerland, and with the release of “The Empty Frame” a considerably larger tour will now be launched as MALRUN supports Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (D) on a 3½ week tour from 21st April to 13th May 2012 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, France, England, Spain and Italy.

Breaking the Illusion
Malrun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And break into nothing,
This is favoured to another life.
Everything we were,
Scattered in the dark,
And I won't let you bring me down with you.
Forgive me,
Searching for some place to
Forgive me,
For shutting down completely,
You're the only reason that I'm done.
You lied and you deceived me,
Led me into darkness,
Torn of all the faith I had in you.
And everything we were,
Has fallen into flames,
But I won't let you bring me down with you.
Forgive me,
But now I'm moving forward,
Searching for some place to
Forgive me,
For shutting down completely,
You're the only reason that I'm done.
I will not break you
No I will not
BREAK
I will not break
I will not break.
I will not break.
I can't live on,
I can't live on believing in you,
I can't live on
I can't live on believing in you
Forgive me,
But now I'm moving forward,
Searching for some place to
Forgive me,
For breaking the illusion,
You're the only reason that I'm done.
That I'm done
I won't let you bring me down with you.
The lyrics of Malrun's song Breaking the Illusion speaks about a person's determination to move on and let go of a past relationship or situation that no longer serves them. The opening lines "Let's shatter into pieces, And break into nothing, This is favored to another life" suggests a desire to let go of old emotions and attachments to make way for something new. The repeated "I won't let you bring me down with you" signifies a need for self-preservation and to not be dragged down by someone else's negative energy.
The chorus of the song expresses a desire for forgiveness for shutting down completely, but also a need to move forward and break free from the illusion of the past relationship. The lines "You lied and you deceived me, Led me into darkness, Torn of all the faith I had in you" hints at a sense of betrayal and loss of trust in the other person. The determination to not break and to not live on believing in the other person suggests a need to take charge of one's own life and not be held back by the past.

Let's shatter into pieces,
Let's break free from our current state and move towards something new.
And break into nothing,
To completely let go of what we were before and become something else.
This is favoured to another life.
The change we're making is better than continuing in our current position.
Everything we were,
Our past and previous selves.
Scattered in the dark,
Lost and confused, without direction or guidance.
And I won't let you bring me down with you.
I won't let you drag me back to where we started.
Forgive me,
An apology.
But now I'm moving forward,
But now I'm making a change and taking action.
Searching for some place to
Looking for a new purpose or direction.
For shutting down completely,
For giving up and losing hope.
You're the only reason that I'm done.
You're the reason for my hopelessness and why I need to make a change.
You lied and you deceived me,
You broke my trust and misled me.
Led me into darkness,
You guided me into a negative or hopeless situation.
Torn of all the faith I had in you.
You completely destroyed my trust and belief in you.
Has fallen into flames,
Our past and what we were before has been destroyed and cannot be salvaged.
I will not break you
I won't let my own struggles and challenges bring you down as well.
I can't live on believing in you,
I can't continue to have faith in you and your actions.
Forgive me, for breaking the illusion,
I'm sorry for realizing that my previous beliefs and hopes were misguided.
That I'm done
I can't continue in this negative and hopeless situation.
I won't let you bring me down with you.
I won't let your negative influence and actions affect me any longer.
