1999 is widely considered to be the year in which trance's popularity peaked, and de Moor was responsible for one of the most prominent tracks from this time. "Carte Blanche" by Veracocha, a collaboration between de Moor and Ferry Corsten, reached #22 in the British charts and remains popular today. Corsten reportedly chose the name Veracocha after watching a TV program about the Incas.
The track featured on de Moor's second album Moor (2000), along with the singles "Shamu", "Between 2 Fires" and "Eternity (Forever)". 2000 also saw the first release of "Fly Away", which went on to become de Moor's most successful debut single when it reached #30 in 2001. Some issues of this track were released under the pseudonym Emerald.
In 2003, de Moor released the tracks "Crystal Clouds" and "Nexus" as Questia. The following year, he released "Desdemonia" as Raster and "Grooveslide" and "Energy Reflect" as Flashbang.

Vincent de Moor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ohh (ooh)
Ayy, ayy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Needless to say, I keep her in check
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless (yeah)
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck (wreck)
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck (wreck)
She was all bad-bad, nevertheless
Callin' it quits now, baby, I'm a wreck
Crash at my place, baby, you're a wreck
Thinkin' in a bad way, losin' your grip
Screamin' at my face, baby, don't trip
Someone took a big L, don't know how that felt
Lookin' at you sideways, party on tilt
Ooh-ooh, some things you just can't refuse
She wanna ride me like a cruise
And I'm not tryna lose
Then you're left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're a sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower
Every time I'm leavin' on ya
You don't make it easy, no, no
Wish I could be there for ya
Give me a reason to go
Every time I'm walkin' out
I can hear you tellin' me to turn around
Fightin' for my trust and you won't back down
Even if we gotta risk it all right now, oh
I know you're scared of the unknown (known)
You don't wanna be alone (alone)
I know I always come and go (and go)
But it's out of my control
And you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're a sunflower
I think your love would be too much
Or you'll be left in the dust
Unless I stuck by ya
You're the sunflower
You're the sunflower
Yeah

The lyrics to Vincent de Moor's song "Sunflower" tell the story of a tumultuous relationship between two individuals. The singer is speaking to his significant other, letting her know that he is keeping her in check, despite her being all bad. He contemplates calling it quits, but despite this, they continue their destructive relationship. The singer acknowledges that their partner is in a bad place and is losing their grip, but he still wants to stick by them. The song has a melancholic and regretful tone, as the singer seems to be aware that the poisonous relationship is unhealthy, but he can't seem to let go.
The lines "Every time I'm leaving on ya, you don't make it easy, no, no, Wish I could be there for ya, give me a reason to go" show that the singer wants to be there for his partner, but things seem to be too complicated between them. The lines "But it's out of my control, And you'll be left in the dust unless I stuck by ya" suggest that there may be external factors causing the problems in the relationship. The song seems to touch on themes of codependency, self-sabotage, and emotional manipulation.
