Initially having the name Thanatos, the discography of the group includes four albums (Schizo Level, InsomniousNightLift, Turbulence and Zoom Code), an EP (Melégnia) and a demo. The band has been in many international labels (Rage of Achilles, Divenia Records, Bruning Elf Records, Misdeed Records), which have edited their releases worldwide. In Portugal the group is currently represented by independent label Recital Records.
The collective was considered as the second best Portuguese metal band in LOUD! Magazine’s January 2005 edition, thanks to their third release Turbulence (chosen as the best 2004 record), the subsequent promotional concerts and the members’ strong charisma.
The group signed a contract deal with Italian label My Kingdom Music for the release of the band's fourth album Zoom Code on March, 21, 2008. The album was produced by Luís Barros (Tarantula), mastered by Tommy Newton (Conception, Helloween) and features guest appearances by Timb Harris (Estradasphere, Secret Chiefs 3) and Zweizz (Fleurety, ex-Dødheimsgard).
In March 2009 ThanatoSchizO have inked a deal with Major Label Industries for the release of an semi-acoustic album in 2009. The new record will have reworked songs from all the previous albums, with an even more avant-garde approach and some ethnical and electronic hints.
Void
ThanatoSchizO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far beyond where I could reach you.
My hands couldn't hold you,
'Cause of this tedious cold
That surrounded my inner existence.
Now you've left and emptiness
Is no longer here.
It has gone with you
Of this senseless life.
Don't you know that all is gone
And that your mind floated
Into a remote part of my being?
Don't you know this smell?
It was written by your eyesight
Give me no more excuses,
Cry no pity tears...
No more shall you have
A place inside of me...
The lyrics to ThanatoSchizO's song "Void" express the pain and sense of loss felt when someone you love slips away and leaves you feeling alone and empty. The lyrics describe the feeling of being unable to hold onto the person, as if they were too far gone to be reached. The use of the word "tedious" in the lyrics suggests that the singer's entire existence is permeated with a sense of gloom and stagnation because the person they loved is no longer by their side. The use of the word "emptiness" is significant because it signals the singer's sense of having lost something vital and meaningful to them.
The lyrics suggest that the memory of the person who has gone away continues to linger in the singer's mind, even though they are no longer present. The line "Don't you know that all is gone / And that your mind floated / Into a remote part of my being?" suggests that the singer has internalized the person's absence and is struggling to come to terms with it. The use of the word "senseless" in the phrase "of this senseless life" suggests that the singer sees their existence as being empty and meaningless without the person they loved.
Overall, the lyrics of "Void" convey a sense of profound loss and grief, as well as the difficulties of moving on after the departure of someone you love.
Line by Line Meaning
And then you slipped away
You left my life unexpectedly
Far beyond where I could reach you.
I couldn't keep you close to me anymore
My hands couldn't hold you,
I couldn't physically hold on to you
'Cause of this tedious cold
There was a disconnect/numbness in my emotions
That surrounded my inner existence.
My heart and soul felt frozen
Now you've left and emptiness
You left behind a feeling of emptiness
Is no longer here.
But now that feeling is gone with you
It has gone with you
The emptiness is now with you
Far away from the tangible lines
It's not something that can be easily grasped or understood
Of this senseless life.
In this life that often feels meaningless
Don't you know that all is gone
You should realize that everything has changed
And that your mind floated
Your thoughts and feelings drifted away
Into a remote part of my being?
And are now distant from me
Don't you know this smell?
Can't you recognize what's happened?
It was written by your eyesight
It was clear to see that things were changing
Give me no more excuses,
Stop trying to justify or explain things away
Cry no pity tears...
Don't feel sorry for me
No more shall you have
You won't be a part of my life anymore
A place inside of me...
You used to hold a special place in my heart, but not anymore
