1) Across Fi… Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands with the name "Across Five Aprils".
1) Across Five Aprils was an emo band circa 1996/97. They released a demo tape and a split 7" with Goodbye Blue Monday. Some live recordings from a house show in 1997 and practice tapes are also floating around.
2) Across Five Aprils’ post-hardcore name borrowed from the late Irene Hunt Novel based around the United States civil war, proves to have a style and showmanship of a not so civil nature. Beginning with the release of "A Tragedy in Progress" in May of 2003 on Indianola Records, Across Five Aprils hit the East Coast by storm to support their freshman full length release. After a few road bumps, member alterations and a lot of records sold of the now 2nd best selling Indianola Records release to date, Across Five Aprils has spent the last year and a half touring country in support of their second release on Indianola, an EP entitled "Living in the Moment".
On July 11, 2006, Across Five Aprils released their second full-length album, entitled "Collapse", also from Indianola Records. Picking up mainly where "A Tragedy In Progress" left off more than the "Living In The Moment" EP, Collapse is a hard-hitting album still full of the angst that has defined Across Five Aprils.

You're Not Alone
Across Five Aprils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you coming over or do I need to go back to sleep?
This scene is utter chaos
You're driving me crazy with all the little secrets you keep
This name means nothing to me
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was you
Take a look outside your window
I see everything that you do.
Are you coming
Are you coming with me?
Are you coming
Coming home with me
Are you coming with me?
Are you coming
Are you coming with me?
Are you coming
Coming home with me
I just wanna be anyone you need
I just wanna breathe the air you breathe so deep
When will you see you're the one for me?
You know you really need to come home with me
Every night after dark the beast comes out to feed
Feel the wrath of standing still
No more hogging the window
I'm coming out and I'm needing to feed
Let me play you that endnote
Tell me baby
Are you coming over or do I need to go back to sleep
This scene is utter chaos
You're driving me crazy with all the little secrets you keep
This name means nothing to me
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted was you
Take a look out your window
I'm watching closely I see everything that you do
I want you to feel me in you
If you only knew revealing the truth
Can it be seen this change in me?
One last goodbye
Kissing you goodnight
I'll pave the way through to better days
Forget today
There seems to be no other way
One thing I'll say is that I know all things will break
Your trying hard
You come off like a fake
Stars fall
Please do your best to soften up their landing.

Line by Line Meaning
Tell me baby
I am inquiring from you, my dear
Are you coming over or do I need to go back to sleep?
Are you visiting me, or should I go to bed?
This scene is utter chaos
The present scenario appears messy and disorganized
You're driving me crazy with all the little secrets you keep
You are making me insane with all your hidden truths
This name means nothing to me
I have no attachment or connection to this particular name
All I ever needed
I have always required
All I ever wanted was you
My only desire was you, and nothing else
Take a look outside your window
Please observe the view outside your window
I'm watching closely
I am monitoring intently
I see everything that you do.
I am aware of all your actions and deeds.
Are you coming
Will you accompany me?
Are you coming with me?
Will you join me on this journey?
Coming home with me
Returning with me to my abode
I just wanna be anyone you need
I desire to fulfill any role or responsibility that you require
I just wanna breathe the air you breathe so deep
I aspire to be close to you, taking in the same atmosphere you do
When will you see you're the one for me?
When will you understand that you are the ideal person for me?
You know you really need to come home with me
You acknowledge deep down that you should indeed return home with me
Every night after dark the beast comes out to feed
The darkness of the night brings out my inner demons
Feel the wrath of standing still
Experience the anger and frustration of not moving forward
No more hogging the window
Stop being selfish, and let others have a chance
I'm coming out and I'm needing to feed
I am emerging and desiring sustenance
Let me play you that endnote
Allow me to perform that final note and conclude this matter
I want you to feel me in you
I want you to feel me at the core of your being
If you only knew revealing the truth
If only you knew that admitting the truth will set us free
Can it be seen this change in me?
Can you perceive this transformation in me?
One last goodbye
This is the final farewell
Kissing you goodnight
The last kiss before ending the evening
I'll pave the way through to better days
I will create the path towards brighter times
Forget today
Disregard the present day
There seems to be no other way
There appears to be no other option
One thing I'll say is that I know all things will break
I understand that all things have a limited lifespan
Your trying hard
You are making an effort to succeed
You come off like a fake
However, you seem insincere or unauthentic
Stars fall
The stars are falling
Please do your best to soften up their landing.
I request that you try to cushion their impact as they fall.
