1) Southern Storm was a heavy/progressive metal band from Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The band was founded in December 1998 by Dario Havel and Damir Sinanovic, former members of Postmortem. Shortly after, they were joined by Emir Hot , who had recently left Neon Knights. Emir and Southern Storm parted ways in 2003 due to Emir’s other obligations. He was replaced by Samir Sinanovic.
Adnan Omerovic, former Grotesk bass guitarist, had to leave Southern Storm after a year for personal reasons and was replaced by Mario Vilusic, the ex member of Neon Knights. For quite some time Southern Storm was lacking a lead singer. Nevertheless, first songs were recorded. Elvis Garagic, then the lead vocal of Dugi Put, gave it a try and they were a perfect match.
The music style of Southern Storm in the early stage was defined as melodic heavy rock with progressive and ethnic motives. Later they used to say they play "Heavy" as their music was influenced by bands that have one word in common, and that is "Heavy". The music was created in a modern way, using ethno motives that are melodically and rhythmically characteristical of the surrounding area.
Southern Storm released one studio album named 1999. They were preparing to record another album when the band suddenly fell apart. To this day there are no indications the band might reunite.
2) There is also a RAC band from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia that shares the same name. Formed in 2002, they have released the following three albums: "Suden Sturm" in 2003, "Stormtroopin'" in 2004 and "It's Time to Get Revenge on Our Enemies" in 2009.
OUT OF TIME
Southern Storm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My savior my guide
When I cross the line of the no time
The smell of dawn
The chime of the knell
Displacing my soul into the dark cage
What's the point of life when hate is everything
In this form I cannot be whole
In this life I can't survive
Through my life time is passing by
Now I see I cannot die
Searching for source
Of restorer of morphe
I felt the breath of solitary whisper
You have got to fall
On the bottom of life
To be displaced into the dark cage
In the lyrics of "Out of Time" by Southern Storm, the singer is contemplating the inevitability of death and the unknown that comes with it. They are searching for someone or something that will be their guide and savior when they inevitably cross the line into the afterlife, represented by the "no time". The smell of dawn and the chime of the knell, which are often associated with death, are mentioned in the lyrics, emphasizing the theme of mortality. The singer asks what the point of life is when hate takes over, and questions their own usefulness when fear takes hold. They feel incomplete in their current form, unable to be whole. However, they also have the realization that time is passing by quickly and that they cannot die.
The lyrics also speak of a search for a "restorer of morphe", which could refer to a restorer of dreams or the ability to dream. In the face of death, dreams and the unknown take on a heightened significance. The singer has a solitary whisper that guides them, but they still feel they must fall to the bottom of life to truly understand the dark cage that awaits them in death. Overall, the lyrics of "Out of Time" are a reflection on the fear and uncertainty that come with mortality, and the search for guidance and purpose in the face of the unknown.
