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 Underworld
Malrun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the shadows blind my eyes
Choking in the air
Ashamed of death surrounds me
A black light consumes
All the colors fade
Devastating
Hallucinations in my mind
Thinking only of one thing
Self-destruction within
I'm free falling through the empty space
Another night has passed away and I'm still alive
Inside my mind so blind and lost
I'm falling down to the under world
Melting into nothing
From the hand of my own disdain
Nowhere left to run
Eradicate my conscience
Breaking the trust
Everyone's a stranger
Burning the page
With the solution why
I'm free falling through the empty space
Another night has passed away and I'm still alive
Inside my mind so blind and lost
I'm falling down to the under world
(solo)
I am falling, facing my ending
I'm free falling through the empty space
Another night has passed away and I'm still alive
Inside my mind so blind and lost
I'm falling down to the under world
The song "The Underworld" by Malrun portrays a dark and eerie perspective about facing death and descending to the underworld. The lyrics depict the singer experiencing unclear visions and being blinded by shadows, as if drowning in a thick atmosphere of ash and death. The overwhelming sensations of devastation and hallucinations add to the feeling of being lost and confused within one's own mind. The lyricist's desperation for self-destruction resonates throughout the song, as he falls into the abyss, into the underworld.
The theme of losing oneself and being consumed by darkness plays an important role in this song. The singer is aware of his own demise and is left with no other option but to face the end. He is engulfed by a black light that consumes all the colors, making everything fade away. Furthermore, the lyrics also touch on the topics of trust, betrayal, and isolation. The unfortunate realization that everyone is a stranger and there is no escape from one's conscience ultimately drives the singer to accept his fate.

Visions unclear
My perception is hazy and distorted
And the shadows blind my eyes
I'm surrounded by darkness and can't see clearly
Choking in the air
The atmosphere is suffocating and oppressive
Ashamed of death surrounds me
I'm overwhelmed with shame and haunted by thoughts of mortality
A black light consumes
A darkness is overtaking me and draining me of life and energy
All the colors fade
The vibrancy and beauty of life is fading away
Devastating
It's overwhelming and destructive
Hallucinations in my mind
My thoughts are distorted and I'm experiencing illusions
Thinking only of one thing
I'm fixated on self-destruction
Self-destruction within
I'm consumed by thoughts and actions that will lead to my demise
I'm free falling through the empty space
I feel weightless and untethered, falling endlessly
Another night has passed away and I'm still alive
Despite my struggles, I'm still alive and enduring
Inside my mind so blind and lost
My thoughts and emotions are muddled and I'm directionless
I'm falling down to the under world
I'm descending into a dark and foreboding realm
Melting into nothing
I feel like I'm disappearing, losing my identity
From the hand of my own disdain
My own self-hatred is causing my downfall
Nowhere left to run
There's no escape from my inner turmoil
Eradicate my conscience
I want to eliminate my feelings and thoughts entirely
Breaking the trust
I'm no longer able to trust anyone
Everyone's a stranger
I feel completely disconnected from those around me
Burning the page
I'm destroying any hope or solution
With the solution why
Despite searching for a solution, I'm left with nothing
I am falling, facing my ending
I'm descending towards an uncertain and potentially final fate
