After releasing their first album "Breathing avenue" in 2004 they captured the hearts of those, who not only listen to electronic sounds. They offer you danceable, catchy tracks like "Clear" and "High pitched emotions", but also offer you time for dreaming with "Suffocate" or "Afraid of myself". Minerve captured Eastern Europe incredibly fast: Their special edition of their debut´s got sell rankings, exceeding world stars. During an interview they´ve even had to enlarge the radio´s hotline capacities, after Daniel´s liveperformace on air. This fact shows, that music made by synthesizers neither necessary has to be chilly electronic nor old-fashioned and artificial.

Their music has always been lively and full of innovation, that makes Minerve unique. They live their music and want to experience it with their fans. Always openminded for new impressions, they don´t feel like belonging to any scene or any special style of music, but want to broaden their minds and want to capture new worlds. Surely they are a contrast to the common rock music, but with their performance and their professional drummer Minerve appear as a serious rocking live band. Especially for that reason Minerve supported either bands like The Crüxshadows, Iris, Psyche, Spektralized, Lowe or were a part of mass events like the Night of Fights, Party for the Masses or Pluswelt Festival where they could show all of their qualities in front of hundreds of fans.

In 2005 the band was also nominated for the "Deutscher Rock & Pop Preis" in the category "best electronic pop act" and reached the third position at this mainstream event.

After releasing of "My universe" in 2006 the band entered the German Alternative Charts at the 16th position and some other charts or playlists worldwide. Their newest album "Sensefiction" shows once again that Minerve is a pearl within the sea of music, that is worth discovery...

Clear
Minerve Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Years go by
You fake the time
Every chance you had
Has your mind

Endless cold
To sleep alone
Because your heart

Is like a stone

Oh I wish
You couldnt toy
The way the way
You did before

Oh is it me
Who cannot see
The face of
Mediocrity

I feel heartache in my breast
I feel heartache in my soul
Another year to lie and the days goes by
Cause it doesn't feel alright
And I'm always be very tired
The dream of you and me this end is clear

You're not sick
So you can heal
But I wonder
Do you feel

The need to cry
I'm out of fear

Your living proof
Another year

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Minerve's song "Clear" is a melancholic expression of the pain that one experiences after years of emotional and mental abuse by their lover. The singer expresses how time is being faked by their lover, who constantly messes with their mind, causing endless coldness and loneliness in their life. The singer wishes that their lover could stop playing with their emotions as they did before. However, the realization that their relationship is beyond repair leaves them with a heartache in their breast and soul.

The singer shares their feeling of exhaustion and being tired of the situation. They express how they continue to lie to themselves, but the end is clear, and the dream of them being together is over. The last stanza emphasizes the detachment between the two partners by implying that the other party might not even be sick and capable of healing, but there is no indication that they feel the need to change or apologize.

Years go by
Time has passed

You fake the time
You pretend to be okay with the passing time

Every chance you had
Every opportunity you had to change things

Has your mind
Has been in your head, affecting your thoughts

Endless cold
Feeling alone and cold

To sleep alone
To go to bed alone

Because your heart
Due to your emotional state

Is like a stone
Is hard and unfeeling

Oh I wish
I hope

You couldnt toy
You wouldn't play with my emotions

The way the way
Like you did before
