In 1995, the two first worked together, doing the soundtrack to an experimental dance film called Tabulae Anatomacae Sex. Canada's Much Music/Bravo TV, which purchased the movie for broadcast, chose the group to score music for the network. This success led the pair to choose to record an album. In 1996, that album, Initiation, was released, and two tracks were licensed for inclusion in USA Network's series La Femme Nikita.
The album received enough attention that they were picked up by Metropolis Records, where their second album, Between Earth and Sky was released in 2000. There was also enough interest in the group at this time that Metropolis took their first album, added bonus tracks, and re-issued it as Re: Initiation.
The score of the Canadian TV-Series ReGenesis (2004-2007) featured some of Rhea's Obsession's songs.
End Of The Night
Rhea's Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take the highway to the end of the night
End of the night, end of the night
Take a journey to the bright midnight
End of the night, end of the night.
Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night
End of the night (4)
End of the night (4)
Realms of bliss, realms of light
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to the endless night
End of the night (4)
The lyrics to Rhea’s Obsession’s song “End Of The Night” are deeply introspective and philosophical, touching upon themes of mortality, spirituality, and existentialism. The opening line instructs the listener to take the highway to the “end of the night,” which can be interpreted as a metaphorical journey towards the end of life, or a journey towards the unknown, towards the consciousness or the afterlife. The repetition of “end of the night” throughout the song reinforces this idea, marking the end of a period or cycle.
The lyrics also mention “realms of bliss” and “realms of light,” which can be seen as a reference to spiritual enlightenment or transcendence. The line “Some are born to sweet delight” can be interpreted as a reference to those who have been “blessed” with an easy life, while others are “born to the endless night” – a metaphor for a struggle-filled existence or a life marred by pain and suffering.
Overall, the lyrics of “End Of The Night” convey a sense of melancholy and contemplation about the nature of existence, and the inevitability of death.
