The band's first album Healing struggled to sell, and the band received little support from their label Maverick Records.
Ultimately, Maverick gave them a second chance and they recorded their second album Becoming i in 2003. This time, the label supported them and got them touring with big name bands such as Korn and Disturbed. They also appeared at Ozzfest 2003. The album was produced by Andrew Murdock, responsible for Powerman 5000, Godsmack and Chimaira among other artists. Even with a more focussed sound and better production, Becoming i failed to sell, and the band split up that same year.
Since then, guitarist Marc Serrano (who was recruited for the second album) joined the now departed metalcore group A Dozen Furies, vocalist Joey Duenas formed a band called A New Revolution (featuring members from Slaves On Dope), and Pete Navarrete formed a band called Exit The Sun.
Ünloco are doing a reunion show on September, 20, 2014.
Face Down
Ünloco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because you don't seem to care
And if I grow old
Then you were never there
And yet it's hard just to find
The only way back inside
The only way I could let this go
By taking what's deep inside
And lie face down
And lie face down
And if I could
Then you were so over this
And then we face its soul
I'm face down and know one knows
And if I bleed
Then I will bleed for you
And it's hard to see
To see what I see in you
And so I just realize
That everything that I fear
Is back in my face only again
So put me out on this floor
'Cause that's the way I've been
Since I lied down
Since I lied down
And if I could
Then you were so over this
And then we face its soul
I'm face down and know one knows
I feel it's the same thing I've had
Since I fell here, I fear.
In the song "Face Down" by Ünloco, the lyrics are deeply personal, touching on themes of loneliness and rejection. The lyrics speak of feeling like an outsider, someone who is cast aside by the world and left to face their struggles alone. The opening lines of the song, "I sigh at the world, because you don't seem to care," capture this feeling of being disconnected and disaffected from the world around them.
The chorus of the song underscores this feeling of isolation, with the repeated refrain of "And lie face down, and lie face down." This phrase conveys a sense of despair and hopelessness, as if the singer has given up and resigned themselves to a life of misery.
The verses of the song provide further insight into the singer's emotional state, with lines like "And if I grow old, then you were never there," suggesting a sense of abandonment and betrayal. Later in the song, the lyrics speak of bleeding for someone else, perhaps suggesting that the singer is willing to suffer for the sake of a relationship that is not reciprocated.
Overall, "Face Down" is a poignant and emotional song that speaks to the difficulties of navigating the complexities of human relationships and the pain of feeling disconnected from the world.
Line by Line Meaning
I sigh at the world
I express a deep sense of disappointment and frustration with the world
Because you don't seem to care
I feel like no one cares about what I'm going through
And if I grow old
If I live long enough to look back, I'll realize that you were never there for me
Then you were never there
Your absence in my life will be painfully evident
And yet it's hard just to find
It's difficult to find a way to deal with my pain and move on
The only way back inside
The only way to get back to feeling whole again
The only way I could let this go
The only way I can release this pain and move on
And how could I justify
I can't find a good reason to explain why I feel this way
By taking what's deep inside
By acknowledging and accepting my deepest emotions
And lie face down
I feel so defeated and overwhelmed that I can't even stand up
And lie face down
I'm so defeated that I can't even look at the world
And if I could
If I had the power
Then you were so over this
Then maybe you would finally understand what I'm going through
And then we face its soul
And then we would confront the true nature of our pain and suffering
I'm face down and know one knows
I'm feeling so low and powerless that no one can understand what I'm going through
And if I bleed
If I suffer and hurt
Then I will bleed for you
Then my pain will be on behalf of all the people who don't understand what I'm going through
And it's hard to see
It's difficult to find hope in this situation
To see what I see in you
To see the good and the love in the world, despite its disappointments
And so I just realize
I'm coming to the realization
That everything that I fear
All the things that scare me the most
Is back in my face only again
Are constantly coming back to haunt me
So put me out on this floor
I feel like I've been defeated and pushed down
'Cause that's the way I've been
Because I've been feeling hopeless and powerless for a long time
Since I lied down
Since I first felt overwhelmed and defeated
Since I lied down
Since I first gave up and felt powerless
I feel it's the same thing I've had
I feel like I've been in this same state of hopelessness for a long time
Since I fell here, I fear.
Since the moment I first felt like I lost control, I've been living in fear
