It was formed in 1999 by Koen Buyse (singer and guitarist), Marijn Horemans (drums) and Kristof Vanduren (bass). In 2003, Kristof decided to leave the band. For the summer festival shows, he was replaced by Bas Remans (Millionaire) who also joined the band in the studio for the recordings of the second album.

Although they're mostly known for their more poppy songs, their albums also show some great acoustic and harder rock songs.
They've produced four albums up to now: The Place Where You Will Find Us, One-Armed Bandit, Alien Sweetheart and Crosses.

The album Crosses was released in april 2007. The first single of the album is called Black Hope Shot Down and is a harder rock song again, after the accoustic third album...

In november 2008, they released a new album, called 4.000.000 minutes, after the time the band exists. It bundles all the singles, two new tracks and some b-sides.
The two new tracks were 4 million minutes and forgotten

In 2010, Zornik released the album Statisfaction Kills Desire.

At the moment they're working on their new album Less > More which will be released in October 2012.
This Autumn, the band will play smaller venues, having promised a different concept of concerts we're used to from the band.

Wasting Time
Zornik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some of us will never reach the stars
And the smiles they fake are real
Everybody knows what time it ends
And the lies they invent are fake
But everybody ought to know
That love is in the air
Reaching out for everything that's lost
Destroying all the dreams i had

But everybody ought to know
That love is in the air
'cause I am wasting time
and I am waiting for your love
'cause I am wasting time
and I am waiting for...
everybody ought to know that love is in the air
'cause I am wasting time
and I am waiting for your love
'cause I am wasting time

and I am waiting for...
everybody ought to know that love is in the air

Overall Meaning

Zornik's song "Wasting Time" is a song about the human condition and the never-ending search for love and fulfillment. The lyrics suggest that some people may never reach their goals or aspirations. They illustrate the superficiality and insincerity of some people's "smiles they fake." The song then touches on the inevitability of life's end, stating that "everybody knows what time it ends." Although people may invent lies to avoid facing our inevitable endings, everyone should know that "love is in the air."

The song then returns to the singer's personal journey by tackling the idea of nostalgia and how love can be the cause of one's pain. The singer mentions how love can "destroy all the dreams I had." The chorus is the heart of the song, as the repeated lines emphasize the wait for love and how it often feels like "wasting time." Love is still worth waiting for, and everyone should know that it is in the air.

Overall, the song is a beautiful yet sad commentary on the fragility of life and the human condition's struggles.

Line by Line Meaning

Some of us will never reach the stars
There are some people who will never achieve their goals

And the smiles they fake are real
Sometimes people pretend to be happy, but they are actually happy

Everybody knows what time it ends
Everyone knows that nothing lasts forever

And the lies they invent are fake
The lies people make up are not true

But everybody ought to know
Everyone should know

That love is in the air
Love is present in the atmosphere

Reaching out for everything that's lost
Trying to recover things that have been lost

Destroying all the dreams I had
Ruining all the aspirations I had

But everybody ought to know
Everyone should know

That love is in the air
Love is present in the atmosphere
