History (unofficial version)

The group was formed in 1996 by Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck.
The history of the group can be divided into two distinct parts: before the departure of the group's leader Alexander Bard in 1999 and after his departure, since which the singer Mattias Lindblom has become the group's new leader. The first two full albums of 1997 and 1998 were characterized by classical music influences and socially-, politically- and even astronomically-themed lyrics, which are very unusual for synth pop music; the 2004 album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up to This", written by Wollbeck/Lindblom, steered away from synth pop to trance/techno and personal lyrics dealing with love and the meaning of life.

Mattias Lindblom - vocals

Starting
Vacuum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me talk about you
Another shadow from a distant past
(I'm just starting to breathe I'm just starting)
Let me talk about you
There was no way this golden trip would last
(I'm just starting to breathe I'm just starting)
I came naked altered to the core
I was shaking and I'm......Starting where the story ended

Picking up the pieces
I am starting where the story ended
From now on we'll always be apart
Explosions in my heartLet me talk about you
Evolution didn't change you at all
(I'm just starting to breathe I'm just starting)
Let me talk about you
I tried to tell you but you didn't recall
(I'm just starting to breathe I'm just starting)I came naked altered to the core
I was shaking and I'm......Starting where the story ended
Picking up the pieces
I am starting where the story ended
From now on we'll always be apart
Explosions in my heartCan you see it in my eyesI am starting where the story ended
Picking up the pieces
I am starting where the story ended

From now on we'll always be apart
Explosions in my heart

Let me talk about you
I want to speak about you

Another shadow from a distant past
You are like a memory from long ago

(I'm just starting to breathe I'm just starting)
I am just beginning to live and feel alive

There was no way this golden trip would last
Our beautiful journey together was not meant to continue

I came naked altered to the core
I arrived vulnerable and changed inside

I was shaking and I'm......Starting where the story ended
I was afraid and I am now picking up the pieces to start anew where our story finished

From now on we'll always be apart
We will never be together again

Explosions in my heart
My heart is hurting

Evolution didn't change you at all
Time did not make any difference in who you are

I tried to tell you but you didn't recall
I attempted to explain but you did not remember

Can you see it in my eyes
Can you perceive my emotions through my gaze
