X-Perience was founded in 1995. Their first single CD was called Circles Of Love, released on their own label. Axel Henninger, who had worked with Camouflage before, produced the track. Circles Of Love became a regional hit in Berlin, mainly through the radio station Fritz. This caught the attention of the major record label WEA, who offered the band a contract. WEA re-released Circles Of Love in 1996 on a larger scale, and this single managed to enter the German Top 100.
They released a second single, A Neverending Dream. Along with the song, a video was shot, which went into heavy rotation on MTV and VIVA. A Neverending Dream became a huge hit in the end of 1996, peaked at #4 in the German charts and reached Gold status (sold over 250.000 copies). The song has been covered several times since, lately quite successfully by Dance act Cascada. The debut album Magic Fields was released in 1997. It peaked at chart position #22 in Germany. In Finland, X-Perience became especially popular, with the album reaching Platinum.
The title track Magic Fields was released as a third single, along with a video that was shot in South Africa. Although the song didn't reach the heights of A Neverending Dream, it also was a hit on TV, radio and in the charts. The second album, Take me Home, was released in the fall of 1997. Like the debut album, it reached #22 in the German charts. Its most successful single became the dance track I Don't Care. In 1998, X-Perience won the radio award R.SH Gold.
After a break of three years, X-Perience came back in 2000. Journey Of Life, released by Polydor/Universal, featured a song called The Meaning Of Life, a duet with Neue Deutsche Welle and Gothic icon Joachim Witt. The single Island Of Dreams was used as a title track for the adventure show Expedition Robinson (Survivor).
In 2006, X-Perience got a new contract, this time with Major Records in Hamburg. They released their comeback single Return to Paradise and the fourth album Lost in Paradise, including new versions of the first three X-Perience hits, mixed by José Alvarez-Brill. The album also included a duet with Midge Ure (Ultravox, Visage) called Personal Heaven, which was released as another single.
With the 2007 single release I Feel Like You Claudia decided to leave the band.
In 2009, the band revealed a new singer on the website. A new album with Manja Kaletka on vocals was planned, but never released.
On December 22, 2019, the band announced the departure of Manja Kaletka and a comeback with Claudia Uhle in 2020 on their Facebook page. After a first teaser-single, "Dream A Dream", "I Feel Like You 555" was the first single in 13 years and was released on May 15, 2020. The fifth album "555" was released via Valicon Records on August 21, 2020. In January 2022, singer Claudia Uhle revealed in a TikTok-livestream that the band began working on a sixth album for 2023.
Let Me Show You
X-Perience Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sleepy snakes awake
bony fingers, neon light
a nervous beast will bite
If you wake up now
and open up your eyes somehow
I will try to give you what you need
[Chorus:]
Let me show you the world in my eyes
then decide to leave and hide
let me show you the world in my eyes
then decide to leave and hide
or stay
Nightmares rushing
through your head
a sleep won't heal your soul
now awake, we're going mad
we love to loose control
If you wake up now
and open up your eyes somehow
I will try to give you what you need
right here and now
[Chorus]
Nightmares rushing
through your head
nightmares rushing
through your head
[Chorus]
The lyrics of X-Perience's "Let Me Show You" describe the transformative power of experiencing the world from a different perspective. The verses paint a vivid picture of a mysterious and unnerving night, with "creatures crawling through the night" and "a nervous beast" ready to pounce. But instead of cowering in fear, the singer urges the listener to "open up their eyes" and see what the world has to offer. The chorus builds on this message, offering to "show you the world in my eyes" and allowing the listener to decide whether to "leave and hide" or "stay" and embrace the unknown.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a call to adventure, a plea to live life to the fullest and seek out new experiences. The imagery of snakes and neon lights suggests a neon-lit cityscape, teeming with excitement and danger. The reference to "loosing control" adds to the sense of risk and uncertainty, but also implies the potential for liberation and joy.
Overall, the lyrics of "Let Me Show You" encourage the listener to take a leap of faith and explore the world around them, even if it means facing their fears.
