The success of the single 'Shoot Your Gun' and the track 'Devil In Me' shot the band to prominence after its use in a Vauxhall commercial.
In early 2006, after four years together touring, with difficulties recording their follow-up album and a desire to change musical direction, the band mutually agreed to split up.
The band reformed in 2008 and released Shake/Shiver/Moan in 2010 and Got It If You Want It in 2012.
On 3 May, 2012, the band announced on Twitter that guitarist Dan Hare decided to leave the band.
22-20s quietly split for a second time in 2013.
Latest Heartbreak
22-20s Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back in the dark room, he's waiting for you
Nursing a pain he designed and created for you
Back in the dark room, he's waiting for you
Here comes the latest heartbreak line
Straight for the weakness he goes
The latest heartbreak line
Cry cry he'll try
Anything to get to you
And he won't be pacified, gonna whine like a child 'till he gets his time with you
Crawling the floor there's no risk, there's no distance to fall
No, he just won't be denied
Cry cry he'll try
Anything to get to you
Here comes the latest heartbreak line
Straight for the weakness he goes
The latest heartbreak line
Well this one was meant for you
The latest heartbreak line
The latest heartbreak line
The latest heartbreak line
Well this one was meant for you
Back in the dark room, he's waiting for you
Back in the dark room, he's waiting for you
Nursing a pain he designed and created for you
Back in the dark room, he's waiting for you
Here comes the latest heartbreak line
Straight for the weakness he goes
The latest heartbreak line
This one was meant for you
The latest heartbreak line
The latest heartbreak line
The latest heartbreak line
Well this one was meant for you
The lyrics to "Latest Heartbreak" by 22-20s depict a man who is waiting for someone in a dark room. The person he is waiting for seems to have broken his heart, and he is holding a grudge against them for it. He has designed and created pain specifically for them and is waiting for an opportunity to deliver the latest heartbreak line straight to their weakness. He will do anything to get to this person, even if it means whining like a child until he gets his chance with them. The chorus repeats the phrase "latest heartbreak line," which is a reference to his ongoing pursuit to break this person's heart again and again.
The overall mood of the song suggests a sense of desperation and obsession. The man is so consumed by his emotions that he is willing to do whatever it takes to get to the person he believes has wronged him. The line "crawling the floor there's no risk, there's no distance to fall" emphasizes this point, as he is willing to put himself in a vulnerable position to win back the person who broke his heart.
