1) EBM band from Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia). Vanessa del Rio was originally established by Samir Hauser and Dan Rodný to 'make soundtracks for movies of the brazilian pornstar'. After a first rather unsuccessful album the name of the band was shortened, the music became harder, and the second album developed a cult following. After the third album the band split up for some time. Vanessa's descendant, Vanessa Gun, created with Miroslav Papež (aka Moimir Papalescu), member of Gun Dreams, made its first in 1997. After a long pause, the band released their fifth album called 'Ave Agony' and changed their name back to Vanessa and new member Jakub Horák joined and Dan Rodný left the band. After four years Vanessa made new album 'Antidotum'.

3) : Vanessa Nassar is a Lebanese violinist. The beautiful young Vanessa was just nine years old when she started playing the violin, her music is a fusion of occidental grooves and oriental spirits.

Vanessa is the most anticipated violin player in the Middle East. It’s not actually hard to figure out why, it’s because underneath her beautiful look, lies individual musical virtuosity and the sharpest of ears for what a global audience wants to hear.

Vanessa is an entertainer and sees no shame in that. She is a genuinely genre-defying act, willing to go beyond category to explore the joy of music regardless of the cultural hamstrings that restrict the creativity of so many classically trained musicians.

An explosive live performer, Vanessa stared in an intensive touring program that has taken her around the middle-east several times already, where she especially shined in Khmissa Festival even though she hasn’t released yet her first album and music video: Longa V composed by Sami Bitar and directed by Yehya Saade.

During the years, Vanessa has recorded two albums, toured Sweden, performed live in Swedish radio twice and participated in several musical contests with huge success. The band won Sweden's biggest musical competition (Musik Direkt) in 2005. Björn and Patrik left the band recently because of studies and lack of time, and the three remaining members are carrying on.

Meditate
Vanessa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My friends are all reckless
Tonight I'm going out with them
We all getting fucked up
Might wild out but in my defense
I'll do whatever it takes
To forget about you
Away with the tears deja vu
I can't do this no more

Need this time to meditate
Just smoke this blunt to help me breathe
Liquor got me feeling ways
Whatever puts my heart at ease
I could write a book with all your lies
Look just what you've done to me
Watch me shut down what I feel inside
Whatever puts my heart at ease
I might go real psycho
Broken mirrors and faces
Lying around my place and
If I'm disrespectful it's no typo
Might be a little faded
But whatever it takes just to
Fall out of love with you
So call someone else cause we're through
I can't do this no more
Need this time to meditate
Just smoke this blunt to help me breathe
Liquor got me feeling ways
Whatever puts my heart at ease
I could write a book with all your lies
Look just what you've done to me

Watch me shut down what I feel inside
Whatever puts my heart at ease

Overall Meaning

Vanessa's song "Meditate" is about trying to deal with the pain of a broken relationship by indulging in reckless behavior with friends. The song begins with Vanessa's admission that her friends are all reckless and they plan to go out and get drunk. But, in defense of herself, she says she'll do whatever it takes to forget about her feelings towards this broken relationship. She turns to smoking weed and gets intoxicated with liquor to help her forget about the memories of the relationship. Vanessa expresses her pain by lashing out and breaking mirrors and anything near her. But, she finally realizes that she needs to meditate and get herself together.

Vanessa is accepting of the fact that she may have to deal with her problems for a while, but it is necessary to come out of it. She claims that the liquor puts her mind at ease, and the blunt helps her breathe. She is trying to move on and forget about someone who has lied to her and broken her trust. Vanessa attempts to get over her ex by shutting down the emotions inside her, showing that she has been hurt so much that she doesn't want to feel anything. The song's overall message is about dealing with pain in unhealthy ways, but also realizing that meditation and self-care is necessary.
