1. Russian indie electro-rock musician and singer (Alexander Xuman)
2. Senegal raggae hip-hop artist (Gunman Xuman)

1. Xuman began to experiment with music when he was 8 years old, recording his father’s guitar with little Panasonic tape recorder and using elder brother’s voice as a vocal. Experiments don’t stop today too. But now it is held at the spacious professional studio with interesting people and true friends.

Xuman has been seeking his own sound experimenting with different genres of electronic music: house, minimal techno, electro, IDM. Since 1999 Alexander performed as a DJ a lot at Moscow clubs, was touring in Russia, played in Europe, was releasing dance tunes and was making remixes. In 2007 Xuman have understood that it’s enough for him to play a DJ role. New period has come — Alexander decided to dedicate his life to search of something true. He always liked rock aesthetics and though he was into dance culture, he was (and still is) a fan of The Beatles, The Doors and contemporary music — like Future Sound Of London.

Alexander has come to fully understanding of what “Xuman” project is. And now he records his first solo album. Besides his solo project Xuman participates in electronic trio The O and rock band Camel in Space, not to mention producing and supporting creativity of other artists of his own record label, whose music can be heard on Xuman Records’ “Tales” compilation, which is planned to be released in autumn 2009.

No Return
Xuman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You played your part
I gave you everything
For what we've lost
There's no return
No
I can't forget
Of what you meant to me
Let's give it up

Our love cannot burn
No

Oh can you feel the temperature's rising up my love
I do believe it's beautiful all the time
Yes I was born to make mistakes
But only love can cure your veins

Take only love
That's all I ask of you
Release the tenstion
Keep it slow
Yeah
Only this moment
Cannot be untrue
Let's give it up
Don't ever let me go
Yeah

Oh can you feel the temperature's rising up my love
I do believe it's beautiful all the time

Yes I was born to make mistakes
But only love can cure your veins

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Xuman's song "No Return" depicts a relationship that has ended and the two parties have decided to move on with their lives. The first verse speaks to the fact that the singer gave their all to the relationship but they have come to the realization that it's over and there is no going back. The second verse shows the internal conflict the singer is battling with, fighting not to forget what the other person meant to them, but ultimately realizing that for them to move on, they have to let go of the past. The chorus explains that the temperature is rising, indicating that the emotions are at an all-time high, but the singer knows that only love can heal the wounds.

The bridge of the song expresses the simple request the singer is asking of their ex to only take love with them as they leave, and to release any tension built between them. They urge them to stay in the moment and not to dwell on the past. The song ends with the singer pleading not to be let go, indicating they are still holding on to the love they once shared.

This song is a testament to the fact that love, though beautiful, can sometimes be fleeting. It's rare to find a love that is true and everlasting. In the end, we must come to the realization that sometimes we have to let go of the past to move forward. "No Return" is a beautiful song that acknowledges that relationships can sometimes be painful, but in the end, it's essential to let go and move on with one's life.
