It all started in Tønsberg, Norway 1989. Sverre Økshoff and Alex Møklebust started a band with the name Klisne Seigmenn having their first gig at the “Christmas rock” event (julerock) in Tønsberg, December 27, 1989 . The next year Marius Roth Christensen, Kim Ljung and Noralf Ronthi joined the band.
total was the album which caught Norway's ears. Some of the songs such as sort tulipan were very gloomy and had a gothic-like atmosphere. metropolis is their most well-known album to this date. radiowaves is the album that shows a significant change on their style. The keyboardist/programmer Eric Ljungren (who later would join Kim, Alex and Noralf in Zeromancer) is more present, and the songs are similar to New order and Depeche Mode. They split in 1999 after a farewell tour.
Møklebust, Ljung and Ronthi later formed the band Zeromancer in 2000. In addition, Kim Ljung has a solo project under the name Ljungblut.
Seigmen reunited during the UKA-festival in Trondheim, Norway on October 20, 2005, and decided to do even more reunion-gigs in Norway – 7 shows in February 2006, and played several festivals in Norway such as the Slottsfjell festival in Tønsberg.
In early 2008 it was announced that Seigmen would again play live, which they did on June 21 at the Oslo Opera House, as one of the shows celebrating the opening of the new Opera House in Oslo. Selling out the show quickly, a second concert was set up the day after.
The band resurfaced again in 2012, when they played several festivals in Norway. In July 2013, Seigmen were one of the bands to play in honor of HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway at his 40th anniversary.
Seigmen will once again tour Norway in 2015 to promote their upcoming album Enola, the first containing all new material since 1997. The first single from the album entitled Hva Vi Elsker was released through digital media on February 13th 2015.

Seigmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
jeg er alene i huset
jeg står midt i stuen
jeg er alene i huset
jeg stirrer ut av vinduet
jeg stirrer ned mot havet
med ett blir jeg redd
jeg ser at havet kommer nærmere
hjernen er alene
jeg vil få meg vekk
men jeg tør ikke gå ut
jeg vil ikke se
men jeg tør ikke la vær'
jeg hvisker hjelp
selv om jeg vet at ingen vil høre meg
jeg går ut av huset
jeg går ned mot havet
jeg hører ingenting
naturen står stille
trærne krymper
og havet det tørker bort
selv om jeg går og går
så kommer jeg ikke nærmere
jeg snur og ser tilbake
huset fullt av mennesker
jeg løper ned mot klippene
men havet har forsvunnet
jeg roper hjelp
selv om jeg vet at ingen vil høre meg
jeg snur og ser tilbake
huset fullt av mennesker
jeg løper ned mot klippene
men havet har forsvunnet
jeg skriker hjelp
selv om jeg vet at ingen vil høre meg
hjernen er alene
jeg snur og ser tilbake
huset fullt av mennesker
jeg løper ned mot klippene
men havet har forsvunnet
jeg skriker hjelp
selv om jeg vet at ingen vil høre meg
alene
The lyrics of Seigmen's song Hjernen Er Alene (translated to "The Brain is Alone") depict a sense of isolation and fear that can consume a person's mind. The singer is alone in their house, standing in the middle of the living room, staring out of the window at the sea. Suddenly, a feeling of dread overwhelms them as they realize that the sea is getting closer. Despite their fear, the singer tries to reach out for help, even though they know that no one will hear them.
The second part of the song describes the singer's attempt to leave the house and seek refuge elsewhere, but they are unable to escape their own thoughts. As they walk towards the sea, they notice that nature is standing still, and everything around them seems to have shrunk. The sea has disappeared, and the singer finds themselves screaming for help, even though they know that no one will come to their aid.
Overall, the song portrays the concept of being alone with one's thoughts and how it can lead to feelings of fear and isolation. It is a reminder that, no matter how much we try to reach out to others, sometimes the biggest battles can only be fought within ourselves.

St
on Pantheon
Missing context, "Pantheon" suggests a higher being is the narrator. "Ta meg i mot om jeg faller ned blant menneskene" seems to supports this, the narrator talks about falling down as if from a higher place, the pantheon.
