Only in 2003 the band was completed with the other members. They released two EPs "Before Vallegrand" (2005) and "Semáforo" (2006). Semáforo is the first album with portuguese lyrics!
Rainy Day Song
Vanguart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what's cruel is your skin perspiring so unkind
I've never used to be a boy and I've never been shy
I never used to kiss like we did last night
But no, it's no good, i'm almost sure, I can't be good
Love is to share and it's a lie I love to keep on my head
'Cause is god is really fair, he will forgive me
Come, come, come...
Read myself in your late eyes
The lyrics of Vanguart's song "Rainy Day Song" are quite introspective and cryptic in nature. The singer acknowledges that he has never been a harmful person, and that he has never been shy or inexperienced with kissing. However, he also points out that his soul is boring, while his lover's skin is cruel and unkind in its perspiration. He seems to be struggling with the idea of being a good person, despite his flaws and his guilty behavior.
The second stanza of the song seems to suggest that the singer is aware that he is lying to himself and to his lover about his true feelings. He admits that his love is a lie that he loves to keep in his head. He also wonders if God will forgive him for the things he has said and done, and for the guilt he feels about his actions. In the final line of the stanza, he implores his lover to come closer to him and to read himself in her late eyes.
Overall, this song seems to be about a person who is struggling with their own moral compass and their conflicting emotions. The singer is aware that he is not perfect, but he still longs for forgiveness and redemption. The song's melancholic melody and ethereal instruments add to the overall sense of introspection and introspection.
