After much acrimony, however, Dominik van Reich quit the band to start his own project amGod, while Peter Devin took the yelworC name and worked on a variety of tracks. Due to a variety of factors (a house fire, the death of his mother, dissatisfaction with record labels), he postponed the release of what was to become the second LP Trinity (a release inspired by Dante's Inferno) until 2004.
Devin is currently working on the follow-ups to Trinity, which are described as inspired by the other stories of Dante's Divine Comedy: Purgatory and Heaven.

YelworC Lyrics

Can't you see what is staring you in the face?
The lyrics "Can't you see? Can't you see what is staring you in the face?" from YelworC's song D-Mask seem to be addressing someone who is unable to recognize or acknowledge the reality of their situation. It could be interpreted that the singer is frustrated with this person's inability to see the truth, and perhaps even implying that they are willfully ignorant or avoiding the truth. The reference to "staring you in the face" suggests that the truth is very obvious and should be easily recognizable.
The line could be interpreted in various ways, depending on the context of the song and the listener's interpretation. It could be a more general commentary on society's ability to ignore reality and turn a blind eye to pressing issues. Alternatively, it could be a message for someone in the singer's personal life who is running from a situation they don't want to face.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be encouraging the listener to open their eyes and see the truth that is right in front of them, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable it may be.
