1) ROME is a Luxembourgish neofolk act founded in late 2005 as the main output for the songs of Jerome Reuter and was joined by co-producer Patrick Damiani as official member in early 2008. ROME signed to the Swedish label CMI in 2006 to release an EP titled "Berlin" (June 2006) and the albums "Nera" (November 2006), "Confessions d'un voleur d'ames" (April 2007), "Masse Mensch Material" (March 2008). In 2009 ROME got signed to the german label Trisol and released the EP "To Die Among Strangers" (May 2009) and the album "Flowers From Exile" (June 2009).
In their earlier work ROME mixes influences of Industrial and Neofolk with Experimental and Electronic Pop. The traditions of (French) Chanson and (American) Folk are becoming more and more influential in their current work. In 2009 violin player Nikos Mavridis officially joined the band to further contribute to the creation of their unique sound, which they themselves refer to as Chanson Noir. Nikos left the band in late 2010 to answer the army's call and Patrick found himself more and more tied up in the work for his own professional recording studio in Germany. ROME released the EP "L'assassin" in early 2010, shortly before going into hiatus, followed by the full length "Nos chants perdus". In 2011, Jerome, the project's only real flag-bearer, recorded and released the trilogy "Die Aesthetik Der Herrschaftsfreiheit" (Trisol) and has taken up touring again with his new band mates Patrick Kleinbauer, Eric Emmel and Tom Luciani. ROME's lyrics often deal with anarchism and are demanding freedom and equal rights for all people on earth.

Neue Erinnerung
Rome Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has lost its hard blood glitter
It remains afloat on the waves
When anger fills our sails
Mutinous for the space of a second
You prayed and feared and beckoned
Now your heart is pounding away
just like mine...
Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Your sleep is stabbed by dreams
Just like mine
Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Your gift so pure and sweet
Unlike mine
To thank you for what you've brought
We lure you close enough for a sword
And just for a little while
I betray you without guile
Your secret prayer scattering the smoke
Made you squeal, made us hide the rope
Now all fear, all hope is gone
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Your sleep is stabbed by dreams
Just like mine
Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Your gift so pure and sweet
Unlike mine
The lyrics of Rome's song Neue Erinnerung speak to the complexities of human emotions and relationships, particularly in the context of having a common cause or goal. The opening lines suggest that while their shared cause may have had some initial appeal, it has lost its luster and is now just floating along aimlessly. The reference to "hard blood glitter" suggests that there may have been some violence or conflict associated with this cause, which has left a bitter aftertaste.
As the song progresses, the lyrics explore the idea of accepting or rejecting the gifts of others, specifically in the context of the person addressed in the second person. The singer questions whether they should accept or reject this person's kindness or shyness, suggesting that there is some sort of tension or hesitation in their relationship. The reference to shared dreams stabbing both of their sleep suggests that there is an uneasy connection between them.
The final lines of the song, which discuss the betrayal of the person addressed in the second person, are particularly provocative. The use of the word "guile" suggests that this betrayal may have been intentional or premeditated, but the lyrics also evoke sympathy for both parties involved. Ultimately, the song seems to be exploring the nuances of human relationships and the different emotions that people experience when they are brought together for a common cause.
Line by Line Meaning
Our cause so sweet and bitter
Our mission is both pleasing and unpleasant
Has lost its hard blood glitter
It has lost its bravery, courage, and importance
It remains afloat on the waves
It continues to exist somehow
When anger fills our sails
When we are filled with fury and rage
Mutinous for the space of a second
Rebellious for a short time
You prayed and feared and beckoned
You supplicated, dreaded, and summoned
Now your heart is pounding away just like mine...
Now your heart is beating fast just like mine...
Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should I approve of this because of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Should I refuse it because of timidity?
Your sleep is stabbed by dreams
Your nighttimes are disturbed by dreams
Just like mine
Just like mine are affected by nightmares
Your gift so pure and sweet
Your present is genuine and delightful
Unlike mine
Different from mine in its qualities
To thank you for what you've brought
To appreciate what you have given us
We lure you close enough for a sword
We approach you near enough to hurt you
And just for a little while
Only briefly
I betray you without guile
I deceive you without any intention of honesty
Your secret prayer scattering the smoke
Your confidential plea is dispersing the smoke
Made you squeal, made us hide the rope
Caused you to screech, had us conceal the rope
Now all fear, all hope is gone
Now all apprehension, all anticipation has vanished
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Like the celestial bodies
Should i accept this out of kindness?
Should I approve of this because of kindness?
Should i reject it out of shyness?
Should I refuse it because of timidity?
Your sleep is stabbed by dreams

Just like mine

Your present is genuine and delightful
Unlike mine
Different from mine in its qualities

@StClare_
Anyone wanna suggest what the lyrics to this song mean? I find Jerome's lyrics very abstract.
@nopenope5263
Anyone know what the speech is at the very end?
@todoeice89

@eurimos
+todoeice89
It is French :
"I came to tell you
That the fire is out
And that there is nothing left
But ashes
And anguish"
