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...
Take Me Higher
Minerve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never comes again
First you were my baby
At next a friend
I'll never find an answer
The answer to my needs
You've got the moments
Take me higher if you can
Take me higher understand
You're the reason in this world
You're the reason, never hurts
Go on a journey
Searching for a chance
And when the rain comes
You lose defense
Wait! Now I know and
See what I need
It's just a feeling
The feeling to believe
Take me higher if you can
Take me higher understand
You're the reason in this world
You're the reason, never hurts
Take a plane and fly
It's a ride through time
Legacy of muse
Holding back the truth
Take me higher if you can
Take me higher understand
You're the reason in this world
You're the reason, never hurts
The lyrics of Minerve's song Take Me Higher exude a sense of longing for something more, a desire to escape and find something greater. The line "Once upon a time and never comes again" sets the tone for the entire song, suggesting that the singer is reflecting on a time that has passed and can never be regained. At the beginning of the song, the singer describes a relationship that started out as romantic (First you were my baby) but has since matured into a platonic friendship (At next a friend). The singer is alone and struggling with an unclear sense of purpose, searching for something that will bring them joy and fulfillment.
The chorus of the song is an invitation to someone, possibly a former lover or friend, to take the singer higher, to help them transcend their current circumstances and find meaning in life. The repetition of the phrase "Take me higher if you can" implies that the singer has asked for help before, but is still seeking guidance. The second verse offers a glimpse into the singer's journey, which seems to involve traveling and experiencing new things. However, when bad weather hits, the singer is left vulnerable ("you lose defense"). Eventually, the singer finds what they've been seeking, "the feeling to believe," which could be interpreted as a newfound sense of purpose or direction.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is lost and looking for guidance. They are seeking something that will help them feel fulfilled and complete, but they are not sure what that is or how to get there. The invitation to "Take me higher" is a plea for assistance, whether it be from a higher power or another person.
