2010 was a hell of a year for Marrok. Reawakening was the initial signal for the rise of Austria's finest rock band – a claim proven by awards, features in newspapers and on television, numerous gigs and the support of an ever growing fan-base. There's a reason to all this: singing leads, heavy rhythm guitars, forceful and driving drums and – of course – lush, melodic vocals. Marrok started in 1999, gaining first successes with their EP 'Extreme' and the Austrian Newcomer Award. In the years to come, their sound evolved from what was then Funk-Metal- Crossover to their very own mixture of modern rock. Metallica's heavy riffing, the angst of Avenged Sevenfold, the tune of Alter Bridge – it's all in there, and much more.
To continue their straight way of success, the band releases their third studio album ‘Midnight Carnival’ in March 2011. The new songs sound even more diversified, epic and and a bit more freaky. As a consequence, the fanbase is enormously growing and Marrok gets more and more attention of the media. Numerous features in music television and magazines show that the band is on the right path. The new music video for ‘Silent River’ gets great response and promises even more for the next to come.. Solo shows in Germany, Switzerland and Austria as well as great support shows (Papa Roach, Alter Bridge, Skindred, 4Lyn,...) in 2011 lead Marrok to the next level.

In January 2012 a new member completes the band. M:Zeven becomes the new guitarplayer at Marrok. The new album is in progress and will be released in June 2012.

Silent River
Marrok Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a little girl in the rose man's world
Look into her eyes until everything is done
Wanna become the rose man - why?
'Cause looking in her eyes
Is everything I live for

Every time - only you
She looks so bright

Enchanted by her heart
The feelings are deeper
Than I ever knew
And I am head over heals in love

Day will come for passion one
Don't betray my trust
Never forsake you, too
So the rose man told
If it's raining
If it's snowing
I will be there
I will be there close to you
So the rose man told

And I crossed her side, what a beauty in my mind
My admiring glance, her beautiful smile
From that moment she healed my wounds
Feelings are fading away
I keep only one word in my mind
Desperation
I'm head over heals in love

Day will come for passion one
Don't betray my trust
Never forsake you, too
So the rose man told
If it's raining
If it's snowing
I will be there
I will be there close to you
So the rose man told

Please baby please
I will never cease
Dreams are coming true
Love me like I do

Oh please
I will never cease
Dreams coming true
Love me like I do Is it raining
Is it snowing
I will be there
I will be there close to you
So the rose man told

Is it raining
Is it snowing
I will be there
I will be there close to you

So the rose man told
Rose man told

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marrok's "Silent River" describe the infatuation and desperate love of the singer for a young girl who inhabits a world of roses. He is consumed by her beauty and captivated by her gaze, and wishes to become the "rose man" who has access to her world. In the first verse, he describes the attraction he feels towards her, and how looking into her eyes is all he lives for. The second verse describes the moment he first sees her, and how her smile heals his wounds, but despite his feelings for her, he also acknowledges the desperation and despair that comes along with it. The chorus repeats the promise made by the rose man to always be close to her, no matter the external circumstances or challenges they may face.

Overall, the song is about the power of love to consume us to the point of desperation, but also the hope and promise that comes with it. The rose imagery suggests a sense of beauty and fragility, and the "rose man" represents an ideal or aspirational figure who one can become in order to access this world of beauty and love. The repeated lines at the end of the song suggest a sense of determination and commitment to the relationship, despite any obstacles that may come their way.
