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...
DEEP INSIDE
Minerve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I leave it all behind
Day by day
Does hope move me away?
Deep inside
I'm embraced by the night
Walk away
Where can I hide
I drown on my own
Where this feeling
Turns to stone
Where is the light
That guides me home
Where this pain
Heals on its own
Deep inside
I'm searching for this light
Feel my fear
What am I doing here?
Deep inside
I try to save my mind
Keep my heart
But I will be ripped apart
Where can I hide
I drown on my own
Where this feeling
Turns to stone
Where is the light
That guides me home
Where this pain
Heals on its own
The lyrics to Minerve's "Deep Inside" encapsulate a deep sense of longing for peace and purpose, coupled with a simultaneous fear of losing oneself in the process. The singer expresses a desire to leave everything behind, but wonders if hope is driving that desire or pushing them further away from where they should be. They then find solace in the darkness, but the fear returns again as they wonder where they can find refuge from drowning in their own emotions. The singer seeks guidance and healing from the pain they feel within, but are unsure of where to look for that light.

Deep inside
Internally, within my mind and soul
I leave it all behind
I abandon my past and move forward
Day by day
As time goes on, gradually
Does hope move me away?
Is the prospect of a better future pulling me forward?
I'm embraced by the night
The darkness is comforting to me
Walk away
Leave behind what is troubling me
But I will lose my way
But it will come at a cost of losing direction
Where can I hide
Where is a place I can find refuge?
I drown on my own
I am alone and struggling
Where this feeling
In a situation where emotions overwhelm me
Turns to stone
Where my feelings become numb and unresponsive
Where is the light
Where can I find a glimmer of hope?
That guides me home
That will lead me to a place of comfort and security
Where this pain
In a situation where hardship is present
Heals on its own
Where time will eventually lessen the pain
I'm searching for this light
I am actively seeking hope
Feel my fear
I am experiencing a feeling of terror
What am I doing here?
Questioning whether or not I am in the right place
I try to save my mind
I attempt to salvage my mental state
Keep my heart
I strive to maintain my emotional wellbeing
But I will be ripped apart
But it will come at a cost of emotional pain
