Lost in Reverie and the 2005 EP The Moribund People were both produced under the label Mnemosyne Productions, owned and operated by Ihriel and Ihsahn themselves.
On March 4th, 2006 Peccatum split, leaving room for Ihriel to continue with Star of Ash and Ihsahn to work on his solo work. They still work together in their other project Hardingrock.
No Title For A Cause
Peccatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I float on a leash
As I am chained to myself
I drift in solitude
Far off and close are my next
Like them I walk alone
One dimension; or many?
Or life a dream
Oh, I envy your answers
One truth; or many? If any
Are all leashes as tight as mine
Or am I just a rebel?
Where is then my fight?
Release my powers of solitude
Keep them as a shield
Unlike society I drift alone
One truth; or many? If any
The lyrics of Peccatum's song No Title For A Cause delve into the theme of isolation and self-discovery. The first line, "As I am chained to Earth," paints an image of being trapped and unable to escape the constraints of society or the constraints placed upon us by ourselves. The following line, "I float on a leash," suggests a feeling of being adrift, lost and directionless while still being tethered to something that holds us back. The third line, "As I am chained to myself, I drift in solitude," speaks to the internal struggle of being alone with oneself and trying to navigate through the complexities of one's thoughts and emotions.
The second stanza poses questions about the nature of reality, and whether life is a dream or if we are actually living in a tangible reality. The line "Oh, I envy your answers" highlights the frustration of not having any definitive answers about life and longing for the certainty that others seem to have. The following stanza explores the idea of rebellion and the frustration of feeling like a misfit in a society that values conformity. The final lines, "Keep them as a shield, Unlike society, I drift alone" suggest a desire for independence and self-preservation, while still being vulnerable and exposed.

As I am chained to Earth
I feel trapped in this world
I float on a leash
I am trying to escape, but feel held back
As I am chained to myself
I feel like I can't escape my own thoughts and feelings
I drift in solitude
I'm alone in my thoughts and feelings
Far off and close are my next
My future is uncertain
Like them I walk alone
I am walking my own path
One dimension; or many?
I question the reality of my existence
Is my dream alive
I'm not sure if my hopes and aspirations can be realized
Or life a dream
I question if my entire life is just an illusion
Oh, I envy your answers
I wish I had the certainty and clarity that others seem to have
One truth; or many? If any
I wonder if there is one universal truth, or if truth is subjective
Are all leashes as tight as mine
I question if others feel as trapped as I do
Or am I just a rebel?
I question whether I am actually fighting something real, or just rebelling for no reason
Where is then my fight?
I question what it is that I am really fighting for
Release my powers of solitude
I want to use my alone time to my advantage
Keep them as a shield
I want to use my ability to be alone as a way to protect myself
Unlike society I drift alone
I am not following the conventional path
One truth; or many? If any
I am still uncertain about the nature of truth
