About the name 'Veracocha': Ferry was watching Discovery Channel (as he did a lot) and there was a program that was about Inca's. 'Viracocha' is the name of one of the Inca Gods. They found wall paintings about this God and on those paintings, and it looks like he resembles an astronaut. Because Ferry liked the story behind it, they decided to change the name a bit and use 'Veracocha' as the name for this project.

Veracocha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, I love you
Do you trust me?
Yes I do
Do you love me?
Yes, I love you
And you trust me?
I'm not sure
Though nothing's really wrong
And it doesn't take a jealous man
To sing a jealous song
So you love me?
Yes, I love you
And you trust me?
Yes I do
Do you know me?
You don't know me
You can trust me
I don't know
Now the lilac's lost its fragrance
And the soil has turned to dust
And it doesn't take a trusting man
To sing a song of trust
Is it over?
It feels over
Don't you trust me?
No I don't
The lyrics of Veracocha's song "Carte-Blanche" express uncertainty and distrust in a relationship. The conversation between two lovers starts off with simple questions about love and trust, but as the song progresses, the doubt and mistrust between them grows stronger. The first two verses reveal that the man loves and trusts the woman, but she is not as certain about her own feelings. However, as the chorus unfolds, the lyrics shift to an increasingly darker tone. The stars have lost their sheen, and the lilac has lost its fragrance, symbolizing the depersonalization of feelings in the relationship. The man asks the woman if everything is over and questions her trust in him. The woman responds with a clear "no," which portrays the bleakness of the situation, confirming that the relationship is over.

A radio edit of Carte Blanche? Blasphemy! Figures it's getting released on Armada :( - when will producers get the hint that this song can't be remixed, the original gave me goosebumps when I heard it over 6 years ago, nothing can match that track.
