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.

Tears
Vacuum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She doesn't dare to open her eyes
'Cause everytime she does a part of her dies
Her eyelids, protecting her from the outside
Locked in her cage with all her rage
And then the tears came
And then the tears came
And then the tears came rolling, rolling down
Yeah, and then the tears came rolling down

She took it too far, she was to brave
You can't take away, what God once gave
Water, nutrition and the comfort of the cage
Red turns to gray, fading away

So we have to keep her in this room

She's a flower
Who desperately trying to bloom

Overall Meaning

The song "Tears" by Vacuum starts with the powerful imagery of a woman who is afraid to open her eyes. The reason for this fear is perhaps due to past experiences which have caused her pain, rendering her feeling trapped in her cage. The lyrics exquisitely convey the mental and emotional state of the woman, who is fighting desperately against her confinement. She is afraid to see the outside world, and thus her eyelids provide her with the much-needed protection.

As the song progresses, the woman's helplessness is expressed further with the line, "Locked in her cage with all her rage." It feels as though she is a prisoner of her own mind, and no matter how much she fights or struggles, she cannot escape. The tears seem to be a release of all the pent-up emotions that she has been holding back.

The song suggests that the woman has a self-destructive streak, as hinted at in the line, "She took it too far, she was too brave." Furthermore, the line, "You can't take away what God once gave," implies that she may have lost something or someone dear to her. The red in her life has turned to gray, which indicates that the passion and fire have all but disappeared.

In conclusion, the lyrics of "Tears" by Vacuum portray the struggles of a woman who has been through a lot of pain and whose emotions are powerful enough to bring her to tears. The song's lyrics evoke a feeling of empathy, as we witness her struggles and pain.

She doesn't dare to open her eyes
She's scared to face the reality

'Cause everytime she does a part of her dies
The reality is shattering her dreams and hopes

Her eyelids, protecting her from the outside
She's trying to shield herself from the harsh reality

Locked in her cage with all her rage
She's trapped and filled with anger and resentment

And then the tears came
She couldn't hold back her emotions anymore

And then the tears came
Emotions become uncontrollable

And then the tears came rolling, rolling down
She's crying uncontrollably

Yeah, and then the tears came rolling down
Even more tears rolled down her face

She took it too far, she was too brave
She took too many risks and is now suffering the consequences

You can't take away, what God once gave
God-given gifts can't be taken away

Water, nutrition and the comfort of the cage
She's been provided with basic needs and safety
