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.

Malrun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It'll be everything you ever need
Let my eyes see
It'll be everything you ever dreamed
You might feel dazed and down
But don't you worry
Feel no more pain
Feel no disdain
Damnation in my mind
Run through the night far from the light
(no more chance to hide your endless might)
Under my wings
Flying through the constricting skies
The anguish we slowly leave behind this time
Dwell in the dark
It'll be everything you ever need
Hide from yourself
It'll be everything you ever dreamed
You might feel sick and torn
But don't you worry
Feel no more rage
Feel not a thing
Damnation in your mind
(no more light, no more plight)
The wrath within shall free your sins
(no more chance to hide your endless might)
Under my wings
Flying through the constricting skies
The anguish we slowly leave this time
The fear of betrayal will be confined
It will be, confined
We're leaving it behind this time
I feel I'm disconnected from myself inside
My veins are burning like an ocean drenched in flames
Under my wings
Flying through the constricting skies
The anguish we slowly leave this time
The fear of betrayal will be confined
We're leaving it behind this time
Were leaving it behind this time
We will not forget
We will not forgive
The lyrics to Malrun's song "Confinement" talk about breaking free from inner turmoil and finding solace and freedom. The singer offers their support and guidance, telling the listener to let their voice and eyes be everything they need and to not worry about feeling dazed, down, sick, torn, or disconnected. The aim is to alleviate pain, disdain, rage, and the fear of betrayal.
The song speaks to the idea of finding refuge and protection under someone's wings, metaphorically flying through the constricting skies of life. It implies that by embracing this guidance, one can leave behind the anguish and suffering that burden them. The lyrics emphasize the need to confront and let go of negative emotions, suggesting that by doing so, a sense of freedom and redemption can be attained.
The repetitive motif of "no more chance to hide your endless might" portrays the potential and power that lies within the individual. The final lines express a determination to move forward, leaving behind past grievances but not forgetting or forgiving them entirely.
Overall, "Confinement" conveys a message of liberation from internal struggles and the importance of seeking support and guidance to overcome them.
