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.

Forbidden Fruit
Malrun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the mighty god resides
I sure hope he doesn't sense I bring the night
All the good folks have been seated
And the sermon has begun
From behind I'm visible to none
Calling out your name
Let me be the one
To satisfy you
I've been staring for an hour
At your every little move
I know everyone in here would disapprove
Feel the sudden urge to grab you
And to taste forbidden fruit
See me slithering 'round and 'round your boot
Calling
Calling out your name
Let me be the one to
Satisfy you
Falling
On my knees
Trust in me now please
Trust in me
I will make you my disciple
Wanna taste forbidden fruit?
I will make you my disciple
Wanna taste forbidden fruit?
I will make you my disciple
Wanna taste forbidden fruit?
I will make you my disciple
Wanna taste forbidden fruit?
Come and
Take it!
Calling
Calling out your name
Let me be the one to
Satisfy you
Falling
On my knees
Trust in me now please
Trust in me
The song "Forbidden Fruit" by Malrun is a dark and seductive song about temptation and giving into forbidden desires. The lyrics depict the singer entering a tower where a god resides, hoping to avoid being caught as they seek out a forbidden pleasure. The singer is transfixed by the object of their desire, who is seated with other good folks, and they feel a sudden urge to taste the forbidden fruit. Despite the potential disapproval of those around them, the singer wants to be the one to satisfy their desires and make their chosen person their disciple.
The song is filled with imagery of forbidden desires and temptation. The tower represents a place of power where the god resides, but it could also symbolize a challenge the singer must overcome to reach their goal. The singer's desire for the forbidden fruit is compared to a serpent slithering around the object of their affection. The biblical reference to the serpent as a symbol of temptation adds a layer of darkness to the song.
Overall, "Forbidden Fruit" is a haunting and sensual song that delves into the complexities of temptation and desire. The lyrics explore the idea of giving into forbidden desires and the consequences that come from acting on those impulses.
