Already with their debut “Truth To Promises” (1999 – Noise Records) Andy and his band delivered a strong piece of work which immediately gained the band a lot of attention and fantastic reviews. Andy, guitarist Cédric “Cede” Dupont and bassist Dennis Wohlbold became the creative core of the band, producing razor-sharp riffs and catchy melodies as if there was no tomorrow. Following a tour supporting MERCYFUL FATE, the band released their sophomore album “Sinctuary” (2000 – Noise Records), which managed to spread the name SYMPHORCE even further. Both fans and press hailed SYMPHORCE as one of the most promising and hopeful bands of the future, and they were right… The last few line-up problems were solved when guitarist/songwriter Markus Pohl and drummer Sascha Sauer joined the band. After playing a number of shows and festivals, the band devoted itself to the creation of new songs.
Now working with Metal Blade as their new partner, SYMPHORCE recorded their following two albums, “phorcefulAhead” (2002) and “Twice Second” (2004) at the House of Music Studios with Achim Köhler (BRAINSTORM, PRIMAL FEAR etc.) producing. “Energetic”, “modern”, “with real bite” are just some of the descriptions that the worldwide press gave the band. Through tours supporting the likes of KAMELOT and GRAVE DIGGER, as well as several festival shows, SYMPHORCE established themselves as a first-class international live act. Despite the difficulty of following up the press’ and fans’ favorite “Twice Second”, SYMPHORCE delivered once again. Everybody, from the last few skeptics to the true “phorceheads”, was equally surprised: “GodSpeed” showcased a band that had become a staple in the music world of 2005. Working with producer Dennis Ward (ANGRA, PINK CREAM 69) at the House of Music Studios, the band created a modern yet timeless album, far beyond the confines of so called power metal. A tour with SONATA ARCTICA and SYMPHORCE’s US live debut followed, making the band a worldwide name. In “Become Death” was released, the sixth album, featuring new drummer Steffen Theurer. Produced by Dennis Ward and mastered by Achim Köhler once again, “Become Death” is a true and unexpected progression for the band.
Falling Through Again
Symphorce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At a loss for what to do
.. whisper your tears
What would you intend to find?
Solitude? your peace of mind?
To echo your fears
Giving more than anything
You want the most
Giving up the ghost
I don't need to know reasons why
Safe and free, it's not about me
I learned to lay the blame on the
Strangers we became
I never meant a word I said!!
Into my world of sin
Falling through anything again
Voices inside my head
My destiny begins
Even closer than this life
Until you open up your eyes
I tried to show you how
Slowly moving across the dead
To the voices in your head
Well I'm listening to you now
And the morning light was breaking
You get up without my waking
Would make you want to cry
I've never been to a place I like
I won't ever be the same again
The hate I have has cut me open wide
Something you said has made me realise
Don't be afraid to look into my eyes
The lyrics of Symphorce's song "Falling Through Again" explore feelings of loss, confusion, and loneliness in a relationship. The opening lines paint a vivid picture of the scene: the singer is in a room, looking at the blue walls that their partner has painted. They don't know what to do or say, and they can hear their partner's tears. The lyrics then pose a question: what does their partner want? Solitude? Peace of mind? The singer can't help but feel like they're echoing their partner's fears.
Despite feeling like they're giving everything they can in the relationship, the singer knows that they can't make their partner happy. They've resigned themselves to giving up their ghost, or their past self, in order to move on. They don't need to know the reasons why their partner is feeling the way they are, but they've learned to accept the blame for the breakdown in their relationship. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is ready to face their demons, and that they want their partner to do the same. The morning light breaking suggests that a new day is dawning, and that there may be hope for reconciliation.
