Unloco w… Read Full Bio ↴Unloco (also spelled ünloco) was an American nu metal band.

Unloco was formed in 2000 by frontman Joey Duenas. That same year, the band released a six-track EP titled Useless through Captiva Records.

The band was signed by Madonna's Maverick Records label and on March 20, 2001, Unloco released their debut album Healing produced by Johnny K. The album struggled to sell, and the band's future with their label was uncertain.

Soon after, guitarist Brian Arthur left to join Goldfinger, and was replaced by Marc Serrano.

Their second effort, Becoming i, was released on March 11, 2003, and was produced by Andrew Murdock – responsible for Powerman 5000, Godsmack, and Chimaira, among other artists. During said year, the band toured with such household names as Korn, opened for Music as a Weapon II, and appeared at Ozzfest 2003. Despite the push from their label, Becoming i failed to meet expectations, and the band split up that same year.

Since then, guitarist Marc Serrano joined the now disbanded A Dozen Furies, drummer Pete Navarrete formed a band called Exit the Sun, and vocalist Joey Duenas formed a band called Anew Revolution, featuring members from Slaves on Dope. The band released a five-track self-released EP in 2005.

Naive
Ãnloco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, man
Want to be that guy I hate
Hey man, want to front some shit
Want to claim you're it
And be insane

It's not about you
It's about me

It's not about you
It's all about

Me
To find my own way
To live through this day
And watch all the stains
Become like
Me
To find my own way
To live through this day
And watch all the stains
Become Naive

Hey man, want to take my place
Want to walk in my place
And cover me
And Hey man, want to
Breathe my air
Want to think it's fair that
You'll never see

It's not about you
It's all about me
It's not about you
It's all about

Me
To find my own way
To live through this day
And watch all the stains
Become like
Me
To find my own way
To live through this day

And watch all the stains
Become Naive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Naive by Ünloco depict the frustration of the singer towards someone who tries to imitate or take the singer's place. The singer is annoyed with this person who wants to act like they are "it" and "insane," indicating an extreme personality. However, the singer maintains that it's not about this other person, but rather about themselves. The chorus repeats the desire to find one's own way, live through the day, and watch the stains turn naive, which could be interpreted as a desire to let go of any stains, or imperfections, and start afresh.

The lyrics point to the singer's need for individuality and self-discovery, while highlighting the annoyance and anger that can come with someone trying to copy or replace them. The overall message is about the importance of being true to oneself and finding one's own path, rather than relying on others or trying to replicate their success.

And witness all the imperfections
