After a sold-out and successful debut on Trisol, and a bunch of German club hits and numerous compilation appearances, and their recent chart-hitting EP "no time for "club" silence" (released in December 2004), the Berlin boys returned in 2005 with their brilliant combination of alluring charismatic male vocals, carrying synth melodies and dancefloor electro beats. Although a second album is often said to be difficult to write, the German trio took the time to come up with a perfectly balanced album benefiting from a sharp, modern and detailed production work. It’s not for nothing that many music journalists refer to "no time for silence" as SERO.OVERDOSE’s album of maturity! A subtle alliance of German synthetic pop with highly emotional vocals (both in English and German), edgy EBM sequences and dynamic rhythmics. A splendid mixture of moody pop songs and danceable future-pop tunes, with enough vocal and sonic diversity to please all fans of good electronic music.
The band appear to have been on hiatus since 2007's "heading for tomorrow". Their official website at http://www.sero-overdose.de is no longer active.

Sero.Overdose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nur eine Figur in einem Spiel
Nur der Tropfen in einem Fluß
Und wieder glaubst du es doch
Nur ein Partikel in der Galaxie
Und doch sehen wirst du sie nie
Weil du am Boden liegst
Alles was du siehst
Alles was du glaubst
Ist nur ein hauch von Illusion
Nur Resultat der Reaktion
Erkenntnishorizont
Nur Spiegelung in der Reflektion
Nur Ein Blatt in in einem Sturm
Nur Der Soldat in einem Krieg
Und wieder willst du nur den Sieg
Nur das Vakuum im All
Wie ein Photon im Licht
Die Wahrheit in der Lüge
Und doch glaubst du es nicht
The song "Horizont" by Sero.Overdose is an introspective piece that reflects on the limitations of human perception and the illusions that we create for ourselves. The first verse describes the insignificance of individuals, comparing them to "just a word in a book," "just a drop in a river," and "just a particle in the galaxy." Despite this, the singer points out that humans are prone to believing in these illusions and ignoring the bigger picture.
The chorus reinforces this idea, with the repetition of the phrase "Erkenntnishorizont," which translates to "horizon of understanding." The singer suggests that everything we see and believe is just a result of reactions and illusions, and that there is a limit to our understanding of the world.
The second verse continues with this theme of insignificance, comparing humans to a "reflection in the reflection," "just a leaf in a storm," and "just a soldier in a war." The singer observes that despite this, humans still strive for victory and recognition. The final lines suggest a paradox, that the truth can be found within lies, but people still refuse to believe it.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to question their perceptions and understand the limitations of human understanding. It suggests that the truth may not always be what we believe it to be, and that we should strive to broaden our horizons of understanding.
