Pride and Fall came into being when Sigve and Svein wanted to pursue a more electronic and club-oriented sound than what they were doing in their goth/darkwave project An Evening With Kisses. As a result, Per Waagen, an old friend joined Pride and Fall as a programmer and keyboard player.
They released a demo shortly after, and in 2003, released their debut album, Nephesh, and debut single Paragon on Dependent Records in Europe, Metropolis Records in the United States, and Memento Materia in Scandinavia. Pride and Fall performed their first gigs outside of Norway in 2004, including Cyberia/X-Club in Holland, the Invitation Festival in Belgium and the Dark City Festival in Scotland.
In late 2005, the band released their second single, the web-only release Border, and in 2006, their second album Elements of Silence. Along with Revolution By Night the band toured Britain in May 2006, supporting Covenant on their UK Skyshaper tour. Pride and Fall released their 3rd album, In My Time of Dying, on 17 August 2007, their final album on Dependent Records. Their also played the Festival kinetic 2.0 in Canada 17 May 2008.
After a break the band returned on Dependence 2012 with the song Reborn, and a new album were released 30 August 2013.
Beginning with influences of metal, goth and progressive trance, Pride and Fall came together to combine the distinct and contrasting elements of these genres into something never heard before to spawn a refreshing and innovative surprise for the listener. Hailing from Norway, vocalist Sigve Monsen along with Per Waagen and Svein Joar Auglaend Johnsen have been dredging the depths of electronic music for fresh ideas since 2000. With the first album, Nephesh, Pride and Fall had created a new and innovative sound in the world of Futurepop. They further explored this sound in the follow up album Elements of Silence. The third album from the band, 2007’s In My Time Of Dying, was recorded following a year marked by divorce, a friend's suicide, a loss in the family, and more. The experiences shaped the sound and feel of the band. In 2013 Pride and Fall returned with Of Lust and Desire, an album showing the band’s growth while maintaining the styles that were loved by their fans and forged over a tumultuous decade. Turn the Lights on EP was released 15.08.2014, and includes the original track, one Pride and Fall remix, three additional remixes and the new song As I Carve.

Pride and Fall Lyrics

The song alludes to the fact that our thoughts and emotions can be complex and conflicting, creating inner turmoil that can have a powerful impact on our lives.

Line by Line Meaning
A virtuous mind dreams what a wicked man does
A person with a good heart may imagine the deeds of an immoral person
The cracks in the mirror lend a truthful reflection
Flaws and imperfections reveal the reality of oneself
Fragile as a flower
Delicate and vulnerable, like a plant that needs care and protection
But deceitful the skin
Appearances can be misleading and hide lies and falsehoods
Our vanity is transient, yet boundless
Our self-importance is fleeting, but infinite in its thirst for attention
A salient reminder of our flaws
A clear and noticeable indication of our imperfections and shortcomings
Falling down from grace
Losing one's position or status due to moral failure or mistake
Leaves us with feelings we cannot embrace
Causes us to experience emotions that we cannot fully accept or understand
As we struggle to find absolution
As we strive to seek forgiveness or release from guilt
We may find redemption in our frailty
Our weakness and vulnerability may actually lead us to salvation or renewal
For in humility lies true nobility
Real greatness or excellence comes from being humble and modest
And in truth, a lasting legacy
Honesty and sincerity create a valuable heritage that endures over time
Epilogue, a final act
Epilogue, the final chapter or conclusion of a story, play or performance
The curtain falls, our deeds intact
The end of our life, with its deeds and accomplishments, remains as the legacy we leave behind
The stage is set for the aftermath
The events that will follow our departure or demise are ready to unfold
As we take our final bow and exit
As we end our performance and leave the stage of life
