The story of NOISUF-X had begun exactly in 1988 when Jan L. from Bochum/Germany used his legendary C64 for combining electronic sounds with organ-sequences and vinyl-elements. Two years later his C64 was detached by an Amiga 500, developing to 4 tracks and 8 bit. The first project was born, but the way that had to be gone until NOISUF-X came into being should be long. During the next years Jan created 10 albums under the name of X-FUSION by his own without a real deal. He extended his equipment over and over again and even got several gigs at Techno-parties such as the Innovation Rave (Fantasy/Dülmen) where he showed his abilities live in front of almost 2000 fans. X-FUSION's style of music evolved into the style of Techno/Acid/House just to the year 2000, when his first tracks including vocals were produced. Finally his hard work that changed into EBM sound at the end got appreciated by Indie-Label Dark Dimensions/Scanner, where he signed a contract and his first album 'Dial D For Demons' was released. On exactly this release a track appeared that gave NOISUF-X a basis for its existence by its title. The idea of the homonymous side-project was born.
NOISUF-X produced some INDUSTRIAL / NOIZE-Tracks and signed a contract at PRO-NOIZE / DARK-DIMENSIONS. The first official release was the track "Happy Birthday" on the Alfa-Matrix-Compilation "ENDZEIT BUNKERTRACKS". The NOISUF-X - Album "ANTIPODE" was released in summer 2005 and soon after the second release, the "TINNITUS EP", came out in september 2006. So it was and now NOISUF-X creates its own style [something like a hybrid of industrial, noize, electro and ambient music] with its published "TINNITUS EP" and does not need to be hidden within the shadows of X-FUSION anymore. This EP was extremely successful within the clubs and also highly scored the charts. It was more than expected for example GAC-Charts Position 04 or even the 3rd position within the DAC-Charts.
But this was just the beginning of what's about to come: NOISUF-X likes to surprise and this was and still is the reason for [in opposite to X-FUSION] performing NOISUF-X´s music live on stage. In the year 2007 "THE BEAUTY OF DESTRUCTION" became a great success for the band and the album reached position 2 at the german DAC-Charts. Songs like "HIT ME HARD" or "TOCCATA DEL TERRORE" are played in almost every industrial club out there. Two years later in 2009 the third studio album"VOODOO RITUAL" was released. It reached position 5 of the GEWC-Charts, position 3 of the DUC-Charts and position 15 of the GAC-Charts.

Buzzing sound
윙
Baby, I just wanted to be
Wanted to be hot stuff
매일 party like the weekend
물 만난 듯이 볼륨을 higher (higher)
하루 끝 feed is a disaster
잔뜩 필터 씌운 지난밤이 넘쳐
순간 새어 나온 한숨
I know that I can't be a rockstar (rockstar)
두 귀를 막아봐도
멍 더 커진 (커진)
텅 빈 소리 (소리)
먹먹하지
어항 속에 잠긴 듯이
멍 이명이
턱 차오지
공허한 소음 속에
Feel so lonely (eh-eh)
Rockstar에 별 빼 (빼)
Just a rock, okay? (Ay, yeah)
꿈을 꿨었네 (네)
뭣도 모른 채 (oh, yeah)
시끄러웠던 새벽
그 끝에는 공허
귓가를 채운 tinnitus
잠긴 듯해 먹먹
Yeah, I want it, want it, want it
Want it, want it, want it, yeah
그저 난 lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, yeah
그냥 돌멩이 (돌멩이)
나는 없어 그런 talent 깊은 사연 (no)
인정 I'm not a 'Born to be'
내가 봐도 특별한 뭔간 아냐 (brr)
반짝이던 dream은 ('eam은)
깎여 나간 지 오래 (tic a tic, tic)
Wasting every second, no
난 돌멩이나 될래 (splash)
파티가 끝난 후면

Wanna live 갓생 (갓생)
But I'm bit 나태 (yeah-yeah)
뭘까, 내 존재? (존재?)
Give me an answer (oh, yeah)
돌멩이도 난 뭐 (뭐)
좋은 것 같아
그저 굴러가는 게
나만의 rock 'n' roll
Yeah, I want it, want it, want it
Want it, want it, want it, yeah

The lyrics of Noisuf-X's song "Tinnitus" seem to delve into feelings of loneliness and emptiness amidst the desire for success and recognition. The buzzing sound mentioned in the beginning can be interpreted as the persistent noise or distraction that represents the struggles and challenges the singer faces.
The opening lines express the singer's desire to be seen as hot stuff and to party like it's the weekend, seeking to elevate their status and escape the monotony of everyday life. However, they acknowledge that their social media feeds are a disaster, filled with filtered memories from nights past, highlighting the emptiness that lies beneath the surface. The mention of a sigh escaping in a moment of realization implies the awareness of the singer's inability to become a rockstar, perhaps symbolizing their failure to achieve their dreams.
The lyrics continue by depicting the singer's attempts to block out the noise and distractions, but their efforts only seem to magnify their feelings of emptiness. The reference to an aquarium or fish tank suggests a sense of isolation and containment, as though they are trapped within their own thoughts and the overwhelming sound of tinnitus. The repeated mention of loneliness reflects the singer's internal struggle and longing for connection.
The chorus expresses the singer's longing for recognition and success, but also their resignation to their current reality. They acknowledge their lack of talent and special qualities, despite their aspirations and dreams. The idea of a dream that has faded away over time and wasting every second further emphasizes the singer's frustration and feelings of being stuck. The singer then declares their desire to become a rock, embracing the idea of being immovable and unaffected by the noise and chaos around them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tinnitus" explore themes of emptiness, loneliness, and the struggle for recognition in the pursuit of dreams, as well as the singer's acceptance of their own limitations.
