So Much Is Lost
This is a song that deals with loss in general, with the fact of accepting a loss, losing a relative, your girlfriend or your keys. Well its slightly different but thats still losing something. I talk about that and the way it affects me emotionally. I hate losing my keys. Often i can write dark and deep lyrics and sometimes petty things that annoy me can be a source of inspiration.
Nothing Sacred
A thing that i love is to have sex is private ! Its hard to get a bit of intimacy in this job. I love to have time just for myself but dont have a lot. This song is about having a safe at home for instance whatever it has inside : pornography, magazines, whatever. The most important is to have things just for yourself that nobody can have access to. When someone knows everything you do then youre left with nothing sacred. Its a song about intimacy, about spending some time in your garden without having your neighbour spying on you.
In All Honesty
Its a song aimed at people who dont believe in God, people like me. Its more precisely about someone i know who suddenly has become a born again christian : i think its a kind of mask to hide his nervous breakdown. Actually i think im against all religions. I talk about that in All Honesty. I dont believe in anything : you live, you die. Full stop.
Harbour
I talk about a North Yorkshire coastal town that quite depresses me : there are people from Northern England that go down to this town to look at the sea...But it is so filthy, there are kids playing in it, its dirty. Theres a harbour and you can see the boats come and go. I like to sit there and stare at the sea. It allows one to ponder over ones life. Its a two-sided place, a positive side and a negative side and i enjoyed myself writing on the latter one. But the truth is that i really like staring at the sea. I could stay hours and hours staring at it.
Ordinary Days
Its about people who have expectations, who want to be super humans. Made The Same is quite about that too : people who think they are some kind of Superman, people who dont realise that you can feel bad, that you dont have enough strength, emotional or physical, to fight against depression. Ordinary Days deals with this same subject with a different point of view : we are all ordinary people. Men born and die egal. If you earn lots of money thats fine but at the end of the day you too will die cause the day you were born you were dead.
Its Too Late
When somethings over, well its over, you have to accept it, thats what this song is about. Accepting that the end of this thing can completely change your life. Bearing this kind of shit.
Permanent Solution
I wanted to name this track Permanent Solution To A Short Term Problem but that sounded too much like Type O Negative. Its about how some people just remain in an uncomfortable situation because they cant find or dont want to find- the strength to get out of this situation. Like these people who all their life do the same job they hate. Its a song about doing what you want to do and not what you are asked to do.
Behind The Grey
Its about leaving Yorkshire. Im proud to be from Yorkshire, but not to be an Englishman, careful ! Im glad to come from Yorkshire cause its a beautiful place and people are nice there. Its a quite melancholy song about nostalgia you feel when you leave this place, even momentarily. One can think grass is greener elsewhere, under the tropics for example, but at the end of the day one thinks that one would gladly go back to the grey of ones homeland.
Wreck
Its about Jehovahs Witnesses that knock on your door and try to tell you all their bullshit about the end of the world. Imagine if it really happens, if during 2000 Apocalypse comes... Jehovahs Witnesses will find themselves all alone like twats on the Earth. I really have the impression these guys are mad, standing in the middle of the street shouting, trying to flog their fucking book, The Watchtower (?), pff... Thats obscene, it shouldnt be allowed. Try to imagine if youd do the same thing calling upon the Devil, youd got arrested. Thats ridiculous ! This song is about all the religion freaks, whoever they are, all those who try to make money on the weak.
Made The Same
See Ordinary Days
Deep
Its about the depth of problems you can have and on the ultimate problem, death...which solves everything. To me death is not a big problem, the importance given to one thing changes from one person to another : there are people who cant stand being bald ! I really like the chorus on this one, ive written it. Its a depressive song with an intro that reminds me of the feeling of oppression you have in a submarine.
Year Of Summer
Its an ironical title about a difficult time ive been through one or two years ago. A terrible year... I should have called this song A Year Of Shit ! The irony is on the opposition shit/summer. We all go through this i guess, shit times.
(Here Aaron intervenes : This song features on Carrie 2 soundtrack. Nick : I havent even seen the movie, what does she do Carrie ? She gets out of her grave ?)
Host
We have chosen this title cause i spend a lot of time on the internet and host is a frequently used word. But the song in itself is about seeing someone die... Which happened to me during the writing of the album. The person i was seeing die was the host of a cancer, thats the relation. Thats not really cheerful...
