In the beginning of 2000, the band recorded their second album "NewtimeChaos". The album was released in May 2000 with the label "B.Mind Records". In March 2002, Personal War changed the name from "Personal War" to "Perzonal War" because of legal reasons and signed a deal with AFM-Records.
In July 2002 the 3rd album "Different But The Same" was released worldwide over AFM Records. Also Victor Smolski from RAGE played a couple of guitar solos on the album and helped the band in the studio. The album got amazing reviews and lots of high soundcheck positions in the important Metal Magazines.
After lots of live gigs and Festivals (a.o. on the Sziget Festival in Budapest, as support for RAGE and NEVERMORE) bass player Frank Buchwalter split with the band in January 2003. In June 2003, Perzonal War entered the studio again to begin with the work on the album "Faces". During the recordings, bass player Sven Krautkraemer joined the band and completed the strongest Perzonal War line up so far.
The band also recorded a video for the single "My Secret" with a very popular German film team. After that the band played a very successful Tour together with "Circle to Circle" and "Blaze". "Faces" is the band´s strongest release so far and the very high soundcheck positions (Rock Hard Germany 10 x dynamite, Metal Hammer Germany Soundcheck position 7 etc.) and also the entry in the german Metal-DJ Charts at position 10 speak for themselves. The Clip to "My Secret" is shown in whole Europe and especially in Holland it runs 10 times a day in "High rotation" on "The Box".
PERZONAL WAR is:
- Matthias Zimmer (Vocals & Guitar)
- Martin Buchwalter (Drums)
- Björn Kluth (Bass)
- Andreas Ballnus (Guitar)

This Dead Meaning
Perzonal War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm following your ways
I'm following every word you say
I'm following your eyes
I'm following your view
I'm following everything you do
But I am paralyzed - too weak to change myself
Much too many words with any meaning
Too much wasted time floating away
I'm standing where I am
There is no more shelter
And now I see what's left for me
My dream is ending
THIS DEAD MEANING
THIS DEAD MEANING
I'm following your mouth
I'm following your deeds
And your unspoken words have turned to my own own deeds
I'm following your steps
And I'm following your meaning
I'm present even when you are dreaming
THIS DEAD MEANING
THIS DEAD MEANING
The lyrics to Perzonal War's song "This Dead Meaning" deal with the idea of blindly following someone else's ways and words, even if they have lost their meaning. The singer of the song finds themselves unable to change, even though they recognize that there is a better way of living. They are stuck in a cycle of following someone else's lead, and the repetition of the phrase "I'm following" emphasizes their lack of agency.
The chorus, "This dead meaning," speaks to the hollowness of the singer's situation. They have lost sight of their own dreams and ambitions, and are simply going through the motions. Lines like "And your unspoken words have turned to my own deeds" suggest that the singer has absorbed someone else's values to the point where they don't even recognize them as separate from their own.
Overall, "This Dead Meaning" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of losing oneself in someone else's vision, and the importance of staying true to one's own dreams and values.

I'm following your words
I am listening to what you say
I'm following your ways
I am emulating your behavior
I'm following every word you say
I am paying close attention to your every word
I'm following your eyes
I am watching where you look
I'm following your view
I am aligning my perspective with yours
I'm following everything you do
I am imitating your actions
There is so much left now it better
There is still much to be done and it needs to be done well
But I am paralyzed - too weak to change myself
I am unable to change or improve myself due to my lack of strength
Much too many words with any meaning
There are too many meaningless words being spoken
Too much wasted time floating away
Too much time is being wasted and not being used productively
I'm standing where I am
I am in my current position
There is no more shelter
There is no more protection or safety for me
And now I see what's left for me
I now understand what remains for me
My dream is ending
My aspirations are coming to an end
THIS DEAD MEANING
The empty meaning of everything
THIS DEAD MEANING
The hollow significance of it all
I'm following your mouth
I am paying attention to what you say
I'm following your deeds
I am taking inspiration from your actions
And your unspoken words have turned to my own own deeds
I am acting based on what I believe you would do, even if you don't explicitly say it
I'm following your steps
I am tracking your every movement
And I'm following your meaning
I am striving to understand the significance behind what you do
I'm present even when you are dreaming
My thoughts and feelings are constantly influenced by you
THIS DEAD MEANING
The vacuous symbolism of it all
THIS DEAD MEANING
The lifeless interpretation of the world
