After the release of their debut album Enter in 1997, the band became prominent in the Dutch underground scene. It was not until 2001 that they became known to the general public, with the single "Ice Queen" from their second album Mother Earth, which reached No. 2 on the Dutch charts. This was followed by the band winning the Conamus Exportprijs, a Dutch music award, four years in a row, and a fifth in 2016. Their next albums The Silent Force (2004) and The Heart of Everything (2007) debuted at No. 1 on the Dutch charts and expanded their international recognition. In 2008, they released Black Symphony, a live album recorded with the Metropole Orchestra. This was followed in 2009 by An Acoustic Night at the Theatre, another live album, this time with acoustic renditions of the songs.
The band's fifth studio album, The Unforgiving, was released in March 2011 and was one part of a transmedia effort, alongside both a comic book series and a series of short films that together encompass a story. The album saw the band increasingly venturing on new musical territories outside symphonic metal. Their sixth studio album, Hydra, was released in early 2014 in Japan, Europe, and the United States. The album advanced the band's exploration of new musical genres and features guest appearances from various artists: Finnish singer Tarja Turunen, who appears in the lead single "Paradise (What About Us?)"; Howard Jones, former vocalist of American metalcore band Killswitch Engage; Dave Pirner, lead vocalist of American alternative rock band Soul Asylum; and American rapper Xzibit. The band had extensive airplay on BBC Radio 2 in the United Kingdom with one of the songs from the album, "Whole World Is Watching" featuring Pirner.
Their latest studio album, Resist, was released in February 2019 and incorporates influences from other musical styles such as industrial and EDM. By 2016, the band had already sold more than 3.5 million albums worldwide.

Within Temptation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not over yet
No signals of love
Have you left
My heart is bleeding just for you
Bleeds for only you
And it hurts to know the truth
Are you looking for saviours
Chasing a dream
Love turned to hate
Now I'm crossing the border
See then I fade
But I'm not afraid
Oh Sinead,
For the first time
Love is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it, I know
Oh Sinead,
It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Oh Sinead
Come break away with me
This second chance I know won't last
But it's OK
Got not regrets
And I, I feel the end here
I'm a fool
Getting closer
But I'm doing what I should
I been drowning in sorrow
Chasing tomorrow,
Running away
Now you're crossing the border
See no tomorrow
But you're not afraid
Oh Sinead,
For the first time
Love is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it, I know
Oh Sinead,
It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Oh Sinead
Come break away with me
But I'm doing what I should
I've been drowning in sorrow
Chasing tomorrow,
Running away
Now you're crossing the border
See no tomorrow
But you're not afraid
Oh Sinead,
For the first time
Love is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it
Oh Sinead,
For the first time
Love is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it, I know
Oh Sinead,
It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Oh Sinead
Come break away with me.
The song "Sinÿad" by Within Temptation is about a person who has been hurt in a past relationship and is trying to move forward with a new love interest, Sinead. The lyrics indicate that the person is hesitant to fully commit to the new relationship because they are still carrying emotional baggage from the previous one. The chorus of the song expresses hope that Sinead will be able to help the person let go of their past and move on to a happier future.
The first verse sets the scene for the song, with the person acknowledging that there are "no signals of love" coming from their previous partner. The lyrics "My heart is bleeding just for you / Bleeds for only you / And it hurts to know the truth" show that the person is deeply hurt and still has feelings for their ex. The second verse and chorus are more hopeful, with the person expressing a willingness to take a chance on love again with Sinead.
Overall, the song is about the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship and the hope for a better future with someone new. The lyrics are emotive and well-written, capturing the pain and uncertainty of love.

No signals of love
There is no love expressed
Have you left
Is your love gone?
My heart is bleeding just for you

Knowing the truth is painful

Approaching the outcome

Running away
Escaping from the situation

You're also taking a risk
See no tomorrow
Uncertain future
But you're not afraid
You have no fear
