With their last ska album "Outside the loop, Stupendo sensation" (2003), their style changes in progressive-psychedelic rock.
Their next album, "And then we met impero" (2005), gave to the band new and different fans. It has nothing in common with their previous albums.
"Granvanoeli" (2006) is the last album from this band. It has Pink Floyd and other progressive rock band influences.
A particular of this band: they use to sing in both english and italian language, often in the same song they change language, also for only one word.
1999
Meganoidi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone is calling me over the sea
Come back to me please
No she, she doesn't know me
I didn't want anybody to know
what my Greek link shows
(chorus)
Far from these lasting days spent
In your cradle
So many times I came back
Bringing you some drops of regret
They won't dry up yet
New chance where are you from and
What will you be from the moment we leave
What about your lips
My friends don't call it pause, brake
Rather the reason the passion the sense
Remember ?
(chorus x2)
In Meganoidi's song "1999," the artist reflects on his feelings of longing for someone who is not with him, and the sense of distance between them. The lyrics are full of vivid imagery, referencing "small lights" and being called from over the sea. It's clear that the singer is consumed with a desire to connect with the other person, and is haunted by a sense of regret that they are so far apart. The chorus is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the cyclical nature of this longing - the singer has left many times before, but always comes back, haunted by the same feelings.
The verses of the song don't offer much in the way of context or explanation - instead, they paint a picture of the singer's state of mind. He references a "Greek link," perhaps suggesting that there is some cultural or historical significance to their distance. He also implies that he has been keeping this longing hidden, saying "I didn't want anybody to know." Overall, the lyrics of "1999" are a moving tribute to the pain of unrequited love and the struggle to find a connection with someone who is far away.
