2: Spektra was what Mathias Lodmalm was toying around with after the collapse of Sundown around the turn of the millennium. It was a pretty natural progression from the last Sundown album Glimmer, featuring more straight forward beats and no guitars.
Around 2003 Spektra morphed into Domain ID which was a slower kind of dub electronica.
Sometimes spelled Sp3(tra.

SOMETHING BOUT THE WAY YOU MOVE
AND WHAT YOU DO TO ME
AND WHEN YOU LOOK INTO MY EYES
DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?
NOW I AINT GONNA LIE
I WON'T NEED TO LOOK ANY OTHER WAY
I NEVER NEED TO LOOK BEHIND
CH:
PROMISES AND A LONELY ROAD
LED ME RIGHT TO YOU, AND I'M HERE TO STAY-EE-YAY
MIDNIGHT FEELING ALL ALONE
TOLD ME WHAT TO DO, NOW I'M ON MY WAY-EE-YAY
THIS BATTLEFIELD WE BOTH BEEN THROUGH
LED US TO BELIEVE
WE NEVER KNEW WHERE WE BELONGED
AND REDEFINED OUR NEEDS
AND NOW I'VE MADE UP MY MIND
I JUST WANNA SHOUT IT OUT
NOW I'M LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND
CUZ I KNOW WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT

The lyrics of Spektra's "Lonely Road" seems to be about two people finding each other and falling in love, but not without experiencing some difficulties along the way. There is a sense of mutual recognition and understanding between them as they keep pushing forward despite the challenges, as if fate had led them to each other for a reason. The first verse expresses how the person being addressed affects the singer in a very positive way, making them see things differently and crave for deeper connection. The chorus talks about how the loneliness they had to endure before finding each other was worth it, and how they want to stay together despite any obstacle that may come their way. The second verse alludes to the struggle and pain the couple has faced in the past and how that experience brought them closer, ultimately transcending their previous conceptions of love and relationships.
The song's message is one of hope and perseverance, that regardless of how difficult the path may be, one can find comfort and love in another person who understands and supports them. It speaks of the hardships and challenges of relationships and the need to keep pushing forward despite them. In the end, the person addressed in the song becomes the singer's safe haven - a place of comfort and security where they can feel at home.
