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.

Une Autre Vision
Rome Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rome

une autre vision

this silent oath we take
will bring silence in its wake
things like time
and all so eager to please

i find myself on my knees
to plunder and to praise
in this purple daze

a new dawn is at hand
no more drunken weddings in the sand
the sweet smell of blood
– une autre vision du monde
the heavy smell of blood
– une autre vision du monde

and all the things you admire
will sink down into fire
all the time killed
all the peepholes drilled

a new dawn is at hand
no more drunken weddings in the sand
the sweet smell of blood
– une autre vision du monde
the heavy smell of blood
– une autre vision du monde

this silent oath we take
will bring silence in its wake
things like time

auf – nieder – auf – nieder

kniet nieder und nie wieder auf
und betet blut

Overall Meaning

In "Une Autre Vision," Rome is proposing a new vision of the world. The first verse reveals the singer's desire for silence, even if it means taking a vow of silence. The second verse speaks to the singer's disillusionment with time and the never-ending need to please others, which has brought them to their knees. The third verse introduces the idea of a new dawn, which will bring an end to drunken and fleeting celebrations. The repetition of the phrase "une autre vision du monde" reinforces the idea that the singer is pushing for a complete transformation of the world. The song expresses a sense of frustration with the current state of things and a desire for radical change. Additionally, the use of the phrase "the sweet smell of blood," which is repeated throughout the song, suggests a violent and revolutionary shift in power.

The chorus is particularly significant in the song. It is the most emotionally charged part of "Une Autre Vision." The singer is calling for an end to what they perceive as oppressive and futile traditions, and the chorus reflects this sentiment. The repetition of the phrase "une autre vision du monde" reinforces the idea that the singer believes the world needs a complete transformation.
