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.
Fallen Angel
Vlad in Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soul anguished by lost hopes of love...
Dying... infected organ...
Shadow defiled by a ray of light...
Devoid of wisdom still but full of courage...
Fill my chalice with your blood...
Fill my mouth with your skin and flesh...
Cover my eyes with a display of decaying beauty...
Through beauty and wisdom...
I'll be your wish never fulfilled...
I'll be eternal damnation...
I'll be eternal passion...
I'll quench your thirst with my black fluid...
I'll cover you with my black wings...
Now run my charming... gloom being...
At last union is nigh...
Let's leave this place...
There must be better places for us...
Let's leave this place...
I'll be your fallen angel raisen again...
Through beauty and wisdom...
I'll be your wish never fulfilled...
I'll be eternal damnation...
I'll be eternal passion...
The lyrics of Vlad in Tears's song Fallen Angel evoke a sense of despair and longing for a love that has been lost. The singer's heart is damned and they are dying from the pain of lost hopes. Their soul is anguished and their shadow is defiled by a ray of light, symbolizing the paradox of hope and despair that they feel. They are devoid of wisdom, but full of courage, willing to face eternal damnation and passion for the sake of love.
The singer asks their beloved to fill their chalice with blood, and their mouth with skin and flesh, a metaphor for the intense desire they have for physical contact. They ask to be covered with a display of decaying beauty, suggesting that they have fallen into darkness and despair. Despite this, they promise to be their beloved's fallen angel, offering eternal damnation and passion rather than a wish fulfilled.
In the final stanza, the singer urges their beloved to run with them, leaving this place in search of greener pastures. They promise to be eternal passion and damnation, offering their love with no hope of fulfillment. This song reveals the intense pain and longing that can result from lost love and the lengths to which one may go in the pursuit of a connection.
