Neuroactive was formed in 1991 by Jarkko Tuohimaa, Ville Brusi, and Vesa Rainne. Signing their first album, Morphology, in 1994 with Cyberware Productions, the group went on to produce Phonic Trace in 1997. Shortly thereafter, Brusi and Rainne left the group and Kimmo Karjalainen came on board to sing for two albums (Fiber Optic Rhythm, Transients). Following Kimmo's departure Jarkko has been working with various guest vocalists.
Neuroactive signed with A Different Drum in 1998, and continues to release material under that label.
Wonders of the World
Neuroactive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fix me again
Show me the wonders of the world
My beautiful friend
Yeah, I got it all wrong
This everyday life
It brought me so low
How long do we have to keep on trying
Don't feel any doubt
I won't let you down
Stronger now
But so deep the clarity lay
I almost drowned
So show me
The wonders of the world
While we're still here
I was sliding away
You brought me back again
My beautiful friend
It's in form of a gene
In program of a machine
It's in you and in me
The fragments of self-destruction
So hold me please
Don't feel any doubt
I won't let you down
Stronger now
But so deep the purity lay
I got confused

The song starts with a cry for help: "Close the chaos, fix me again". The singer is feeling overwhelmed and lost in the everyday routine of life. They feel like they have gotten everything wrong and they are sinking low. However, their friend comes along and shows them the beauty and wonder of the world. The singer acknowledges that life can be tough and we have to keep trying to get along with each other, but they won't let their friend down.
The second verse describes how the struggles and hardships we face are a part of us, like a gene or program in a machine. However, the singer still asks their friend to hold them and not lose faith in them. They have become stronger now and the clarity and purity they have found are deep, yet they also admit to being confused at times. The song ends with the singer thanking their friend for bringing them back and asking to be shown the wonders of the world while they are still alive.
