In April 2003 the band had their first performance as support act for After Forever, and remained that band's support for a year. They attracted record company interest and signed for small Dutch label Ebony Tears in November 2003. In November 2004 Nemesea released their debut album "Mana" (meaning 'the magical power of things, given by the gods'), and they later toured the Netherlands and Belgium until December 2005. By this time they were well established in the Nordic European symphonic metal scene. For their second album, Nemesea had talks with some major record labels, but they later decided to sign up to the Dutch crowdsourcing website SellaBand. They were the first band to raise more than $50,000 from the fans, and the album, called "In Control", was released on June 21, 2007. A distribution deal was made with Rough Trade Records to bring the new album to music stores in Benelux on October 26, 2007.
Nemesea released their 3rd studio album through Napalm records called The Quiet Resistance on 18-11-2011
Nemesea also released a remixed and remastered version of their live album Pure live@P3.
Nemesea added Lasse Delbrugge (ex-Orphanage) to their lineup as keyboard player in 2009.
It was announced that Manda Ophuis on August 1,2016 that she will quit being the singer instead to focus on her education job with highly gifted children. On May 19th 2017, it was announced that Sanne Mieloo was the band's new vocalist. Along with this announcement came the single "Dance in the Fire".

It's Over
Nemesea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm suffocating
I can't breathe
The pain stays too long
Yet i linger
And point my finger
The hard way
The urge to run is strong
Every time i close my eyes
Every time i try to hide
The panic builds up inside
All the things i left behind
Are taking over my own mind
I know it's over now
Sometimes i cannot remember
I played with open cards
I tried so hard to surrender
It's a shame
How come we cannot erase all the pain
Why aren't we strong enough to overcome
Undone, it's driving me mad and insane
Is there some other place where we belong?
And now i'm hating
And i'm creating
This nightmare
That goes on too long
Hanging on to
To what is untrue
I can't leave
The need to stay is strong
Every time i close my eyes
Every time i try to hide
The panic builds up inside
All the things i left behind
Are taking over my own mind
I know it's over now
Sometimes i cannot remember
I played with open cards
I tried so hard to surrender
It's a shame
How come we cannot erase all the pain
Why aren't we strong enough to overcome
Undone, it's driving me mad and insane
Is there some other place where we belong?
It's taking over me
I am too blind to see no oh
I'm on the edge about to take my final jump
I'm not in charge at all
The shade's too dark for me oh oh
I've crossed the border i'm about to fall
The Nemesea song "It's Over" conveys the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending cycle of pain and regret. The lyrics describe a person who is suffocating, unable to breathe due to the intense emotional pain they are experiencing. They feel the urge to run away from their problems, but they cannot leave because the need to stay is too strong. The person in the song is haunted by the memories of the past, and they cannot escape the panic that builds up inside them every time they close their eyes or try to hide.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of regret and the desire to start over. The person feels shame for not being able to surrender, and they wonder why they are not strong enough to overcome their pain. They question why they cannot erase their memories and move on to a better place. The song ends with the person feeling like they are about to fall off the edge, unable to see clearly, and uncertain of what their future holds.

Letra e español del tema:
Yo se, tu sabes, sabemos que esto se acabo
Yo se, tu sabes, sabemos que esto se acaba ahora
Estoy esperando, Sofocándome
No puedo respirar
El dolor permanece por demasiado tiempo
Sin embargo, persisto
Y apunto con el dedo
El camino difícil,
El impulso de correr es fuerte
Cada vez que cierro los ojos
Cada vez que trato de ocultar
El pánico crece en el interior
Todas las cosas que dejé atrás
Se están apoderando de mi mente
Sé que esto se acaba ahora
A veces no recuerdo
He jugado con cartas abiertas
He intentado tanto abandonar
Que me avergüenza
¿Cómo es que no podemos borrar todo el dolor...
¿Por qué no somos lo suficientemente fuerte como para superarlo...
Una vez hecho, me está volviendo loco y loco
¿Hay algún otro lugar al que pertenecemos...
Y ahora estoy odiando, Creando
Esta pesadilla.
Esto ha tomado mucho tiempo
Aferrado a algo irreal No lo puedo dejar
La necesidad de quedarse es my fuerte
Cada vez que cierro los ojos
Cada vez que trato de ocultar
El pánico crece en el interior
Todas las cosas que dejé atrás
Se están apoderando de mi mente
Sé que esto se acaba ahora
A veces no me acuerdo
He jugado con cartas abiertas
He intentado tanto abandonar
Que me avergüenza
¿Cómo es que no podemos borrar todo el dolor...
¿Por qué no somos lo suficientemente fuerte como para superarlo...
Una vez hecho, me está volviendo loco y loco
¿Hay algún otro lugar al que pertenecemos...
Esto se apodera de mí
Estoy demasiado ciego para ver
Estoy en el borde a punto de dar mi último salto
No estoy a cargo de todos
Las sombras son demasiado oscuras para mí
He cruzado la frontera y estoy a punto de caer
Yo se, tu sabes, sabemos que esto se acabó
Yo se, tu sabes, sabemos que esto se acaba ahora
¿Cómo es que no podemos borrar todo el dolor...
¿Por qué no somos lo suficientemente fuerte como para superarlo...
Una vez hecho, me está volviendo loco y loco
¿Hay algún otro lugar al que pertenecemos...
Yo se, tu sabes, sabemos que esto se acabo
Yo se, tu sabes, sabemos que esto se acaba ahora
