!T.O.O.H.! disbanded shortly after putting the finishing touches on "Řád a trest" due to financial issues - caused in no small part by being dropped by Earache, who took the album out of print only two months after its release.
News about reactivation of !T.O.O.H.! appeared in September 2011. Over the next two years, brothers Humanoid (guitar/vocals) and Schizoid (drums) began writing material for a new album and scheduled several concerts. In February 2013, after their first show in years, it was announced that they would not perform live anymore due to difficulty with Humanoid's illness - also stating that their new album would be their last. On August 13, 2013, "Demokratické řešení" was released online as a free download. After releasing new album, !T.O.O.H.! disbanded again, due Humanoid's shizophrenia. They reunion was made on 2017, Humanoid released a statement about his mental illness which complicated their tour plans, and told about new album which was on it's way to release. "Svoboda slova" was released in 2020.

!T.O.O.H.! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
She says
Only so much in this town I can take
She says
I need some feeling
I need to wake up
She says
I need a way out of this place
I can break away and grab my backpack
Run to the train
And tell myself that I'll never look back
She doesn't
Know where I'm going
But I know I need to go
Cause if I stay in this town, I'll be a rerun of an episode
But 'til then
I can't quit my job
Still in the parking lot
During break, smoking pot
Crossing X's on the dates till the day I escape this place
And my fate that comes if I stay
Cause the days go by and these weekends fly
In her small town life she came to find
That you eat, sleep, drink, work repeat 'til you die
And everyone in this town tells her that's life
We want no ceilings
But can't see beyond ourselves
She gets my meaning
Each time she's put on shelves
We can't afford our feelings
Life is short
And time is wealth
Yeah time is wealth
Time passes
Passing passion
Scared to stare in the mirror and finally defined what had happened
Vices and crashin'
Vicious cycles attract those stagnant and passive
Realizing lies lie in like-minded minds for fine fashion
Planned ignorance
What's your form of addiction
Distorted vision
Born in a system that assists internal resistance
Dominated by other opinions, bad schisms and isms
A crafted status to capture better living defined by the lack of or need of fixin'
She's after what's fleeting
While breaking up healing's pace
I don't know why, I don't know why
We've mastered treaties
Only made for treason's sake
I don't know why, I don't know why
We can't afford those feelings
We for no reason fake
Or no reason fade
For no reason fade
For no reason fade
I don't know why
You don't know why
You're calling me
I don't know why
We're wasting our time
And losing sleep
I don't know why
You don't know why
You're calling me
I don't know why
We're wasting our time
In losing
The lyrics of !T.O.O.H.!'s "Accident" delve into the internal struggles and yearnings of the singer, outlining a sense of disillusionment and longing for escape from the confines of small-town life. The first verse portrays a sense of dissatisfaction with the mundanity of the singer's existence, as they seek something deeper and more fulfilling. They express a desire for a way out of their current environment, symbolized by grabbing a backpack and running to the train, signaling a break from the repetitive cycle they find themselves in. The singer recognizes the need to break away from the patterns of their town to avoid becoming trapped in a cycle of repetition.
The following stanza highlights the monotony and futility that the singer experiences in their small-town life. The repetition of daily routines, with the stark realization that life is simply an endless cycle of eating, sleeping, working, and ultimately dying, serves as a bleak reflection of the limited opportunities and aspirations within their environment. The sense of resignation and acceptance of this reality is reinforced by the advice from everyone in the town that this is just how life is, suggesting a lack of hope for anything beyond the status quo.
The third section delves deeper into the complexities of the singer's emotional and mental state, exploring themes of self-awareness, destructive habits, and societal pressures. The lyrics touch upon the struggle to confront one's own flaws and mistakes, symbolized by the fear of looking in the mirror and facing the consequences of their vices and destructive patterns. The references to addiction, distorted perceptions, and societal expectations further emphasize the internal and external obstacles that hinder personal growth and fulfillment.
The concluding verses highlight a sense of confusion and disillusionment in relationships and interpersonal connections. The repeated refrain of not knowing why certain actions are taken or feelings are suppressed underscores the communication breakdown and emotional barriers that exist between individuals. The themes of wasted time, lost opportunities, and the inability to express genuine emotions resonate throughout the song, ultimately painting a portrait of a protagonist grappling with internal conflicts, external constraints, and a longing for authenticity and escape.
