At the beginning of their carreer they played several cover songs of other bands but soon they began to write their own songs and look for a label. After 34 concerts in Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Ex-Yugoslavia they recorded their first demo tape “After The End”. This demo tape included 10 songs but was never released – it was only used for reaching some fans in Europe. Probably they couldn’t imagine what an effect this tape would have. The press and many people soon began to put their eyes on the band: many reviews and interviews made ViT to one of the most amazing Italian Gothic Acts. This enormous attention helped them to get a deal with the label “Aural Music”. At this time they released “Seed of an Ancient Pain”, which is said to be the best Gothic Indie release of 2007. Thanks to their MySpace profile and a great promotion they quickly reached lots of new fans.
In 2010 they release their second album "Underskin", followed by "Welcome To Vladyland" in 2011.
Burning Bright
Vlad In Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
come down into the darkness of my heart
just grab my soul and let me take you away
disarming smile in this endless night
hate and love death and eternity
Dont' be scared of my eyes
don't be scared of my hands
don't be scared at all...
and let me make you mine...
don't be scared...
It scratches your skin.
i can feel all your passions and obessions...
just let it go and breath for one last time...
just let it go and breath for one last time...
Dont' be scared of my eyes
don't be scared of my hands
don't be scared of my blood
don't be scared at all...
just let me make you mine...
don't be scared...
I will make you mine... even if i have to kill you...
i will make you mine, i will make you mine, even if i have to kill you... dont' be scared...
dont' be scared... dont' be scared...
The lyrics of Vlad in Tears' song "Burning Bright" are full of imagery and suggest a dark and intense relationship. The opening lines invite the listener to look into the singer's deepest and darkest hell, and the song continues with an invitation for the listener to come down into the darkness of the singer's heart. The phrase "just grab my soul and let me take you away" suggests a desire for escape and intimacy.
The next lines of the song, "disarming smile in this endless night, hate and love death and eternity," create a mood of conflict and contradiction. The disarming smile may be a facade to hide darker feelings, while hate and love, death and eternity suggest a complex and dangerous emotional landscape. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Don't be scared" three times, suggesting that the singer knows that his feelings and behavior may be frightening to the listener.
Later in the song, there are references to scratching skin and feeling passions and obsessions. These lines suggest a physical and emotional intensity that may be overpowering. The final lines of the song, "I will make you mine...even if I have to kill you," are perhaps the most disturbing. They suggest a willingness to resort to violence or other extreme measures in order to possess the object of the singer's desire.
Overall, the lyrics of "Burning Bright" suggest a dark and intense relationship in which the boundaries between love and hate, pleasure and pain, life and death are blurred. The repeated plea for the listener not to be scared may be an acknowledgement of the danger inherent in such a relationship.
