2) sela was formed in early 2004 in Rotterdam, NLand started off experimenting with different sounds to eventually find it’s way in a mixture of grunge, metal and indie. To get a rough idea, their songs have been influenced by bands like At The Drive-in, Far, Sevendust, Green Lizard and Nirvana. The name sela has been extracted from the hebrew word 'selah' - the point of silence before the (musical) climax or explosion. It is commonly used in Christian songstructure.
Dimitri and Daniël met in 2003 with the desire to start a band together. After alongwayout ( Dimitri's band ) broke up, they decided to do some sessions. Bart, a former bandmate of Dimitri’s, was invited as well and he brought along Daniel Lakens to play bass. Soon Jeremy was added to the foursome to do the vocals, then after a couple of sessions, all band members decided to look out for new bassplayer. A former bandmate of Jeremy’s, Javier, took the job for two shows, but after that he decided to continue with some of his own projects.
Robert, a friend of Bart’s joined in for a session, and stayed in the position of bass player.
After a couple of succesfull shows, the band moved on without Jeremy and found a new vocalist in Erik.
In 2007 the band recorded a 3 song EP named A day in the flames with Nick Radich of Digitube recording studio.

Sela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
waar U lijkt te zwijgen.
Waar mijn hart zo ontmoedigd is,
ik U niet kan bereiken.
Wie bent U Heer,
als U zich niet openbaart:
als mijn oog U niet ziet,
mijn hart U niet ervaart?
Bent U als een vreemde,
die ik niet herken?
Leef ik als ontheemde,
niet thuis waar ik ben?
Mijn beeld van U wankelt,
het inzicht ontbreekt,
totdat U met mij wandelt,
totdat U met mij spreekt.
Als de avond gevallen is,
wilt U bij me blijven?
Werp uw licht op wat donker is:
laat de duisternis wijken!
Wie is de Man,
die ik toch niet heb herkend,
die mijn hart weer doet branden
als ik luister naar Hem?
Ontmasker mijn leven,
verberg U niet meer.
Door inzicht te geven,
tot wie ik mij keer.
Mijn denken is duister,
mijn hart lijkt verblind.
Totdat ik naar U luister;
totdat U mij weer vindt.
U reikt mij de beker,
breekt met mij het brood.
De Gast blijkt de Gastheer,
maakt mij deelgenoot.
U toont mij uw liefde,
Uw ware gezicht.
Heel mijn hart weet nu zeker
wie de Levende is!
U reikt mij de beker,
breekt met mij het brood.
De Gast blijkt de Gastheer,
maakt mij deelgenoot.
U toont mij uw liefde,
Uw ware gezicht.
Heel mijn hart weet nu zeker
wie de Levende is!
wie de Levende is!
In Emmaüs, Sela explores the uncertainty and doubts that can arise in one's faith journey. The song begins by acknowledging that sometimes believing in God can be difficult, particularly when it feels like He is silent and unreachable. The singer is discouraged and unable to connect with God, and wonders who God really is if He does not reveal Himself. The chorus continues this theme, asking if God is like a stranger that is unrecognizable, and if the singer feels like an outsider in their own home. The singer admits that their understanding of God is shaky, and they lack insight into who He truly is.
However, the tone of the song shifts in the second verse, with the singer asking God to stay with them even in the darkness. They ask God to bring light to their confusion and reveal Himself to them. They want to know who the man is that can reignite their passion for God. The final verse is a plea for God to reveal Himself fully, to unmask the singer's sin and show them the right path. The singer admits that their mind is clouded and their heart is blind, but they trust that God can bring clarity and light. The song climaxes with the realization that the true meaning of life is found in communion with God, represented in the breaking of bread and sharing of wine.
Overall, Emmaüs is a moving exploration of the struggles and doubts that can arise in one's faith journey, but ultimately ends with the affirmation that God's love and presence can overcome any darkness.

As night fell, will you stay with me? Throw your light on what is dark: let the darkness neighborhoods! Who's the Man, I would not have recognized, who makes my heart burn when I listen to him again? Expose my life, Hide no more. By providing insight to whom I am returning. My thinking is obscure, my heart seems blinded. Until I listen to you; until you find me again.

hi I traslated this song for you, i hope you find it useful :) Emmaus: If believing sometimes can be difficult, where you seem to be silent. Where is my heart so discouraged, I can not reach. You Who are you, Lord, if you do not disclose: if my eye doesn’t see you, my heart doesn’t experience you? Are You like a stranger Who I don’t recognize? Live I like a displaced person not at home where I am? My image of you falters understanding is lacking until you walk with me until you speak with me

What does it mean it is a beautiful song.
@nathanstigter2893
it's about a story in the Bible. two men were walking to Emmaus and suddenly a man joined them. That man was Jesus but they didn't recognize him. They invited him to their house to eat with them. Jesus prayed and broke the bread. At that moment the two men recognize Jesus. But unfortunatly for them, Jesus left the place before they noticed. If you want to read this story you have to read Luke 24 verse 13 and start at that verse. I hope this answer is what you're looking for. Be Blessed!!!
