(B. Bristly, coarse and unflinching, serving of edgy female poprock takes the poppy and punky influences of Garbage, No Doubt and Blondie and mutates them into a personal, memorable breed of accessibility with brutally honest, "badass" chick rock. Keeping it interesting by playing with beat and rhyhtm, structure and the moments of musical pay-off, Matahari is an alternative rock group fronted by female vocalist Ivona Coufalova, their sound is a blend of contemporary pop, punk, rock and techno. Matahari's lyrics are intriguing set to dark driving rhythms and upbeat grooves. Ivona is a passionate vocalist and the band is hard driving utilizing rock rifts with an electronic edge. The CD opens with 'Scream Out Love' that combines stimulating techno tones with a heavy beat leading to the powerful hook belted out by Coufalova. It is followed by another rocker 'Sugar', which is clever lyrically and edgy in execution. 'Over Now' melds varied tempos with dramatic pauses. The song is dark and driving. Matahari, named after a World War I female spy, is aptly named as they combine modern mystery with musical magic! author: Laura T Lynch of Kweevak.com, Tamara Turner, CD Baby.com

Matahari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
que refleja esta ilusión
tierra, emoción y ciudad
destruída en la ficción
oigo voces que pretenden
salvarme la vida
no quieres mirar
a tu tierra debes regresar
puedes volar hacia el sol
y tus sueños quemar
puedes volver a tu hogar
contra el tiempo y ganar
Rompe el cristal
que refleja esta ilusión
calle, sudor y dolor
no es tan fácil escapar
ese ser, el más poderoso
no puede venverte
no tiene oportunidad
solo siente y creerás
puedes volar hacia el sol
y tus sueños quemar
puedes volver a tu hogar
contra el tiempo y ganar
y en el universo
cielo inmenso, siempre estarás
ultrahéroe del pasado
vuelve a ganar
ese ser, el más poderoso
no puede venverte
no tiene oportunidad
solo siente y creerás
puedes volar hacia el sol
y tus sueños quemar
puedes volver a tu hogar
y en el universo
cielo inmenso, siempre estarás
ultrahéroe del pasado
vuelve a ganar
luego volarás al sol
The song "Ultraman" by Matahari talks about breaking free from illusions and escaping the confines of a fictional world. The lyrics begin by urging the listener to break the glass that reflects this illusion, symbolizing the need to shatter the barriers that hold them back. The reference to "earth, emotion, and city destroyed in fiction" suggests that the singer is trapped in a fabricated reality that lacks genuine connection and emotion.
The following lines mention hearing voices that try to save the singer's life, implying that there are opportunities for growth and change that the person may be hesitant to embrace. The lyrics suggest that the singer is blinded by their journey and needs to return to their roots to find clarity and purpose.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of breaking free and taking risks. It encourages the listener to soar towards the sun, even if it means sacrificing their dreams along the way. The line "fly against time and win" implies the importance of overcoming obstacles and defying expectations.
The second verse introduces the concept of a powerful being who is unable to see the singer's potential. This character serves as an obstacle in the singer's path, perhaps symbolizing a personal struggle or external force resisting their growth. The lyrics emphasize the importance of believing in oneself and having faith in one's abilities.
The final verse repeats the chorus, emphasizing the singer's ability to soar towards the sun and conquer their dreams. The mention of the vast universe and the singer being an "ultrahero of the past" suggests that they have the power to rise above their circumstances and achieve greatness. The song concludes with the reminder that they will always be present in the vastness of the universe before taking flight towards the sun, symbolizing a final victory and a new chapter in their journey.
