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.

The Lyapunov Exponent
Malrun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
. Before the truth of the . second stands and change our life
So take your clothes . fucking the wings that need you
Wave lost . the same reaction slow
You never stood a chance
Today is you living
Go away all alone all . needs to rest
The lyrics of Malrun's song "The Lyapunov Exponent" are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. The first line, "The same beginning, divorcing of your soul" could refer to a person feeling stuck in a cycle of repeating the same mistakes or feeling disconnected from themselves. The second line, "Before the truth of the second stands and change our life," suggests that some moment of truth or realization is looming in the future that will alter the singer's life.
The following lines are even more ambiguous. "So take your clothes, fucking the wings that need you," could be a metaphor for shedding one's inhibitions and taking risks. "Wave lost, the same reaction slow," is similarly difficult to parse. It may suggest a sense of aimlessness or confusion. The final line, "You never stood a chance," could mean that despite the singer's efforts, they were doomed to their current fate.
Line by Line Meaning
The same beginning . divorcing of your soul
Starting something new means letting go of the old parts of yourself that no longer serve you.
Before the truth of the . second stands and change our life
It's important to acknowledge that life can change in an instant, and we must be prepared to adapt and move forward.
So take your clothes . fucking the wings that need you
Strip away the unnecessary and focus on what truly matters, so you can fly freely towards your goals.
Wave lost . the same reaction slow
When we feel lost or unsure, it's easy to fall into old patterns of behavior instead of taking new risks and trying something different.
You never stood a chance
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, circumstances are out of our control and we cannot achieve what we hope for.
Today is you living
Make the most of every day and embrace the present moment.
Go away all alone all . needs to rest
Take time for yourself to recharge and find inner peace, even if it means being alone.
Come take my breath once live in fear never stop .
Take risks and be brave, even when it's scary, because life is too short to live in fear.
