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.

The Void
Vacuum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Killing the miles
The road where I belong
Snow on the window screen
I ride the storm
Headlight into the dead of night
Color the forest white

Open up your mind

Go into the void, go into the void
Truth is what you'll find
Go into the void, go into the void
The void
Open up your mind
Go into the void

Taking a ride
I'm easy on your eyes
Dance of a million stars
I paint the sky

Headlight into the dead of night
Color the forest white

Overall Meaning

In "The Void" by Vacuum, the singer finds himself on a journey, driving through snow and darkness with only the headlights to guide him. The lyrics suggest an element of danger, as the miles are being "killed" and the storm is being ridden. However, the chorus shifts the focus to the importance of opening one's mind and venturing into the unknown, specifically "the void." The singer encourages the listener to embrace this uncertainty and promise that "truth is what you'll find." The repeated image of the headlights cutting through the darkness, coloring the forest white, adds to the sense of navigating through an unfamiliar terrain.

Overall, the song can be seen as a call for exploration and discovery, encouraging listeners to take risks and embrace the uncertainty of what lies ahead. It also touches on the idea of truth being found through the engagement with the unknown, a common theme in science fiction and philosophical musings. The music itself is characterized by a driving beat, echoing the sense of motion and momentum described in the lyrics.
