Consisting of Milan Mockovčiak (guitars, bass), Tomás Vaľa (guitars, keyboards), and Viktor Halász (vocals, guitars), the members wanted to reflect the band member's own interpretation of progressive metal. Between 2001-2004, they released their self-titled debut album and "Life 2 Wait", then they disbanded for various personal reasons. In 2018, the original line-up reunited to update the songs from these albums, re-record them and release them as "III" in 2021. The band is also writing new material for future releases.
Other bands that have a similar style are PENTESILEA ROAD, HEYOKA'S MIRROR, MASTORD, RAVEN SAD and SIMULACRUM.

Reflections Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreamless and sleepless
Counting the stars
Just to watch them fall
Prisoner of phobia
Afraid of my shadow
I never know
Who I′ll be tomorrow
You used to say my name
As if I was your own
As if this ever meant
Anything at all
I'd give anything to go back to that moment
Even if only for a moment
I′d give anything to go back to that moment
Even if only for a moment
How can I forget
The only things I want to remember
This is an endless endeavor
This is pretending we never said forever
You looked into my eyes
And promised we would die together
. . .
I'd give anything to go back to that moment
Even if only for a moment
I'd give anything to go back to that moment
Even if only for a moment
It was always my greatest fear
Everyone I love would disappear
Just like the color clear
The lyrics of "Translucence" by Reflections talk about the struggles of the singer, who is a slave to insomnia and also has a phobia, making it hard for them to sleep or even dream. They spend their nights counting the stars and watching them fall. The singer recalls a time when someone used to say their name like they meant something, and longs to go back to that moment, even if just for a moment. The memories of this person are some of the only things the singer wants to remember, as they are haunted by the fear of losing everyone they love, just like the color clear.
The lyrics are vivid and poetic, creating a sense of longing and desperation. The singer's struggles with insomnia and phobia are relatable to many people who struggle with sleep-related issues due to anxiety or stress. The memories of the person who used to say their name like it meant something create a sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time. The fear of losing loved ones is also relatable, as losing someone close is a common human experience.
Line by Line Meaning
Slave to insomnia
I am a prisoner of sleeplessness and can't escape it
Dreamless and sleepless
I am awake without any dreams
Counting the stars
I am watching the stars in the sky and counting them one by one
Just to watch them fall
I know the inevitable will happen and will watch them fall anyway
Prisoner of phobia
I am locked in fear and can't escape it
Afraid of my shadow
I am even scared of my own shadow
I never know
I am uncertain about the future and what it holds
Who I'll be tomorrow
I am unsure of who I will become the next day
I still remember the way
I have not forgotten how
You used to say my name
you used to call me by my name
As if I was your own
as if I were a part of you
As if this ever meant
as if this actually signified something of importance
Anything at all
even though it didn't really mean anything significant
I'd give anything to go back to that moment
I would do anything to relive that specific moment in time
Even if only for a moment
even if it were just for a brief instant
How can I forget
Why can't I manage to forget
The only things I want to remember
I only wish to remember certain things
This is an endless endeavor
This is an ongoing struggle
This is pretending we never said forever
This is acting like we never made any promises to stay together forever
You looked into my eyes
You stared into my eyes
And promised we would die together
you guaranteed we would both perish in unison
It was always my greatest fear
It has forever been my biggest dread
Everyone I love would disappear
Everyone I hold dear would vanish
Just like the color clear
just as transparent as the clearness
