1) A progressive metal band from Lisbon, Portugal
11th Dimension is a four piece progressive metal / post-metal project from Lisbon, Portugal. The band was officially launched in July 2013, however, the project had been brewing since early 2011 when the four members, that have met in another project, decided to quit and continue by themselves.
After the end of that project, they had an almost 3 years long run on the covers band circuit, where they grew their synergy and stage experience, truly transforming into a band.
Although all four members revolve around the metal scene in their musical tastes, the mix of musical backgrounds is one of the most interesting aspects of the band. In each song one can find traces of everything, from death and epic metal to rock and electronica; the most predominant trace, however, is the modern wave of progressive and post-metal bands.
2014 is marked by the release of their first EP entitled Odyssey. The songs were recorded, mixed and mastered by the band, in what was both a fulfilling and didactic adventure, and an exercise in stubbornness, which vouches for the band’s objective of being as untainted as they can, without sacrificing the quality of what they deliver to their fans.

Adrift
11th Dimension Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the pride that is gone and buried inside
All that you've conquered you lost in a destructive spiral down
Now you're still drowning in your despair
Without a hope but...
Have you ever tried fighting instead?
Have you ever tried raising your head?
Have you ever tried asking for help?
Have you ever tried learning again?
Break down your desperation.
Break the chains that embrace you
Raise and change the direction
Find your way
It's tight here
I'm breathless
Looking inside, I am just like you
Open your eyes, come and face the truth
We're wasting a lifetime, we play and lose
Facing the future may seem a very hard task
Leaving the comfort zone in the past
Face the fact that you don't have a massive amount of time
To heal inside and clean all the mess
We can't be adrift forever...
We can't be adrift forever...
We can't be adrift forever...
We can't be adrift forever...
All that I had I threw away along the shore
All that will come I fear I cannot control
So we remain adrift
In a stagnant stream
Forever afraid of changing
So lost
Wandering so far away
So lost
Wandering so far away
The lyrics of Adrift by 11th Dimension are a commentary on the human condition and the difficulties we face in life. The opening lines are nostalgic, asking the listener to remember a time when they felt pride and held their head up high. However, the lyrics soon change to a more sobering message. The main theme is about feeling lost and adrift in life. The song acknowledges that we all face challenges and setbacks in life, but the key is to never give up and to keep fighting. The repeated line "We can't be adrift forever" is a call to action for the listener to face their problems head-on and take control of their life.
The verse "Have you ever tried fighting instead? Have you ever tried raising your head? Have you ever tried asking for help? Have you ever tried learning again?" is the crux of the motivational message in the song. The singer encourages the listener to persevere and to try to find a way out of their struggles. The message is that we are all in this together, and we can all work together to overcome life's obstacles.
The closing lines are a recognition that we all have limits, and we cannot control everything that happens in our lives. The final verse "All that I had I threw away along the shore, All that will come I fear I cannot control" is a reminder to let go of the past and to embrace the present moment. It also acknowledges the fear of the unknown and the possibility of failure. However, despite these challenges, the song encourages the listener to keep moving forward and to never give up.

Remember the time when you held your head up high
Recall the moment when you were confident in yourself and stood tall
And the pride that is gone and buried inside
Your self-esteem has been lost and hidden deep inside
All that you've conquered you lost in a destructive spiral down
Your progress has been destroyed by your downward spiral
Now you're still drowning in your despair
Your hopelessness is still overwhelming you
Without a hope but...
There seems to be no hope left, but...
Have you ever tried fighting instead?
Did you consider trying to struggle and overcome your difficulties?

Lift yourself up and choose a new path
Find your way
Figure out what should be done to overcome your struggles
It's tight here
Things are very difficult right now
I'm breathless
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed
Looking inside, I am just like you
When I turn inward, I am no different from you
Open your eyes, come and face the truth
See things clearly and confront the reality
We're wasting a lifetime, we play and lose
We fritter away our lives by playing and losing
Facing the future may seem a very hard task
Preparing for the future can seem very difficult
Leaving the comfort zone in the past
Abandoning what is familiar or comfortable from the past
Face the fact that you don't have a massive amount of time
Acknowledge that time is limited
To heal inside and clean all the mess
To recover emotionally and clean up the chaos within oneself
We can't be adrift forever...
It is not possible to wander aimlessly indefinitely
All that I had I threw away along the shore
I left behind everything I had along the shore
All that will come I fear I cannot control
I am afraid of not being able to control the future
So we remain adrift
We continue to wander aimlessly
In a stagnant stream
In a body of water that's still and not moving
Forever afraid of changing
Perpetually scared of making changes
So lost
Extremely confused and uncertain
Wandering so far away
Straying from the right path and becoming lost
