2. A Peruvian all female Nu Metal band formed in 1999
1. Area-7 rose from the ashes of Madness cover band Mad Not Madness. In 1994 three members, Dugald McNaughtan (keyboards), Charles "Chucky T" Thompson (guitar) and Dan Morrison (drums) left the group and began to write their own songs. They formed a band and named it after a lyric from The Specials' Dawning of a New Era. In 1996, singer Walter Eskdale left and the band recruited John "Stevo" Stevens, formerly of rockabilly band Yeah Yeah!, to vocals. Alistair Shepherd (sax), Toby Dargaville (trumpet) and Rohan Pacey (bass) all left in approximately 2002, and were replaced by Paul West and Matt Sanders.
2. Area 7 was born in 1999 when the Foronda sisters created a band that pays tribute to acts like Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Nirvana. After the typical initial hesitation, finally they consolidated as a solid quartet led by Diana and Fátima Foronda, supplemented by the drummer Josie Romani who suggested Karol Uriol’s entry, who switched from guitar to bass.
They composed their first own songs and formalized the gestation of the first all-female metal band in Peru. They grew musically gig after gig, and in 2003 acquired the maturity needed to participate in bigger concerts with bands such as Masacre, Reset, Natura and Leuzemia. Gradually their national impact was getting greater, and after being quoted in press notes and appearing in several television interviews, they published their first and self-titled EP.

Illari Arbe, with only 17 years old entered the band to play the drums and take part in the composition, arrangements and production of the album.

Let Me Down
Area 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surrounded strangely, I know I'm far from home
I hit the road but will it lead me back to you?
I don't know where you are, but there's nothing else to do
Well I still love you but you always let me down
Eveything you do just makes me want to frown
Betrayal hurts I don't know why I stick around
Well I still love you even though you let me down (DOWN!)
Well I still love you even though you let me down
Eveything you do just makes me want to frown
Betrayal hurts I don't know why I stick around
Well I still love you even though you let me down (DOWN!)
Hey!
Poison pen, a poison heart, a poison mind
The more I look the worse things you let me find
And you love letter, not from me but it's from you
Some other sucker's gonna suffer for you too!
I still love you even though you let me down
Eveything you do just makes me want to frown
Betrayal hurts I don't know why I stick around
Well I still love you even though you let me down (DOWN!)
Hey!
You always let me down, go!
The lyrics in Area 7's "Let Me Down" describe the emotions of a person who wakes up alone, in an unfamiliar place, far from home, and uncertain about their future. The person is hoping to find their way back to their loved one, but they don't know where to start looking for that person. The subject of the song is the pain of betrayal and how it affects one's trust in relationships. The chorus repeats the phrase "well I still love you even though you let me down" multiple times, indicating the person's struggle to reconcile their love with the pain.
The verses, however, provide more details of the betrayal, mentioning a "poison pen, a poison heart, and a poison mind," which metaphorically suggests that the person's loved one is toxic and harmful. The lyrics suggest that the subject has found proof of their love's infidelity, as they refer to a love letter not from them but from someone else, who is also going to suffer because of their love's actions. Despite this pain, however, the subject still loves the person who has betrayed them, and they cannot seem to let go of them.
Overall, "Let Me Down" touches on themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, pain, and forgiveness in relationships. It highlights the complexities of human emotions and the struggle to reconcile one's feelings with one's experiences.
