They played Ozzfest in 1999 and split up in 2004. They worked with Tchad Blake, at Real World Studios, on their self-financed "Music For The Massive", having scrapped "Album 1.5" after 2 years of production. The result was a much tighter band, and looser "live" sound, captured by Blake by making the band perform live in the studio. After selling the finished record to Atlantic/Wea the label shed half of its roster during a merge with Electra Records, including Apartment 26. The single "Give Me More" was a minor Modern Rock hit in 2004.

The name comes from David Lynch's Eraserhead, in which the character lives in Apartment 26

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Apartment 26's song Give Me More are rather cryptic, and there are a few different interpretations that can be made. In general, it seems to be a warning about the dangers of excess and indulgence, with a particular focus on the risks that come with breaking the rules or crossing the line into illegal or immoral behavior. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their friends like to live dangerously, taking risks and pushing their limits in order to experience more excitement and pleasure. However, they also acknowledge the reality that indulgence can lead to trouble, and that eventually their actions may catch up with them. The line "get rid of that evidence and going to catch you" may suggest that the singer or their friends have committed a crime and are trying to cover up their tracks, while the references to secrets and court suggest that their actions have legal consequences. The chorus seems to be a desperate plea for help in the face of the consequences of their actions, with the repeated refrain of "they're gonna get you" indicating a sense of impending doom.

Throughout the song, there are also repeated references to sugar and borrowing it from someone else. This could be interpreted in a number of ways, but it may suggest a desire for sweetness or pleasure that is absent in the singer's life, as well as a hint of dependency or even addiction. The line "hold on to your kindness" could also be seen as a warning against losing one's moral compass in the pursuit of pleasure.

In general, the lyrics of Give Me More seem to be a cautionary tale about the perils of excess and the dangers of pushing too far beyond the boundaries of what is considered acceptable or legal behavior.
