The mind.in.a.box sideproject THYX releases their debut single "Into the Realm".
It seems that Stefan Poiss, the mastermind behind mind.in.a.box, was getting bored in his studio because now there is a second electronic music project out there penned by him. Big arrangement, sci-fi atmosphere and a very unique sound were the trademarks by mind.in.a.box and made them famous in the Gothic/Electro scene. The sideproject THYX, which was founded by Stefan Poiss in January this year, stays very electronic but gives the sound a more experimental touch without loosing the catchy tunes and atmosphere.
"Into the Realm" is, according to Stefan Poiss, a very emotional driven debut.
A snippet from this single is online now at the THYX webpage.
Digital-only Release. Available at Online-Musicstores like iTunes, Amazon, Spotify,...

Waiting for You
THYX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Using the wind to push through the waves
Pinning down my location
...Can feel it slowly drifting away
Searching the far horizon
Finding a new place to stay
Raising my expectations
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you
...
I am the only one left behind
I hope to see mankind
You promised me you will stay
But your journey was one way
The lyrics of THYX's "Waiting for You" carry strong themes of perseverance, hope, and profound disappointment. The song depicts a person who sails through the vast oceans, traversing the waves, using the wind to propel their journey. The first two lines demonstrate how the person is navigational, making use of the wind to traverse through the water, and is well aware of their location. However, the next line, "Can feel it slowly drifting away," indicates that they are slowly losing their navigation bearing and direction. The sense of losing direction is a symbolic representation of how someone can often become lost in the oceans of life, both metaphorically and literally.
The second verse then details how the persona is searching for a new place to stay, placing faith in their expectations, and waiting for good things to come. This stanza represents a message of hope, an acknowledgment that even when things seem not to be going as planned, we must keep faith in finding a new destination. However, the chorus, "I'm waiting for you," suggests the individual is waiting for someone who has gone on a one-way journey, leaving them behind. Finally, the last verse, "I am the only one left behind, I hope to see mankind. You promised me you will stay, but your journey was one way," highlights the feeling of being disappointed in somebody who made a promise but failed to keep it. The persona is left alone with a broken heart, no longer hopeful and filled with doubts.

Travelling through the oceans,
I am currently travelling through the vast expanses of the sea,
Using the wind to push through the waves
I am depending on the force of the wind to propel my journey through the waters,
Pinning down my location
I am attempting to determine and fix my current position,
...Can feel it slowly drifting away
I am beginning to sense that my position is gradually moving off course.
Searching the far horizon
My gaze is fixed upon the distant horizon, scanning for any signs of a new destination.
Finding a new place to stay
I am hoping to discover a newfound location to which I might settle,
Raising my expectations
My aspirations and hopes for discovering a new home are being elevated,
Waiting for the wind to move away
I am waiting for the wind, whose force hitherto propelled me, to abate and shift direction,
I'm waiting for you
I am eagerly awaiting your arrival, your presence,
I am the only one left behind
I am alone, abandoned, excluded from those who journeyed with me,
I hope to see mankind
I yearn to behold my fellow human beings once more,
You promised me you will stay
You committed to remaining with me, to not leaving me to this fate,
But your journey was one way
Your voyage was singular, and has taken you permanently away from me.
