On the first albums, Anders wrote its texts with the assistance of Niklas Sundin, which translated them into English. Later, on Colony and Clayman , he wrote all the texts in Swedish and Sundin translated them into English. Then, Anders knew the English language rather well to write the texts without the assistance of Sundin. Its main themes are very different from other singers in this style. It treats astrology, of imagination but also of depression and problems personal.
