Their first single "Save Me" was available online October of 2006 and hit radio in the months thereafter.
In late 2009 the band released their second CD, "Souvenirs," on iTunes.
In February 2011, Autovein announced a name change. The band would now be known as Revolution One. Following the name change, the band unveiled a new video for "Suicides & Lullabies". On April 20, 2011 Revolution One joined Biffy Clyro for a show at The Double Door in Chicago.
Revolution One released the Lay Down Our Lives EP on May 3, 2011. 2011.
All That I Wanted
Autovein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the more that we cared
All that I needed was you
And the more that we shared
You gave me yours
Opened your doors
Where would you be
Am I lying here right on the ground
And where would you go
And who would you know
And would you have love if you saw me around
And how would I know
All that you wanted was me
And the more that you loved
All that you needed was me
So the harder you shoved
You gave me yours
Opened your doors
Where would you be
And who would you see
Am I lying here right on the ground
And where would you go
And who would you know
And would you have love if you saw me around
And how would I know
And I thought you were wrong but you're right
I can't help how you feel
And I thought that I needed this fight
Now I know how you feel
Where would you be
And who would you see
Am I lying here right on the ground
And where would you go
And who would you know
And would you have love if you saw me around
And where would you be
And who would you see
Am I lying here right on the ground now
And where would you go
And who would you know
And would you have love if you saw me around
And how would I know
All that I wanted was you
The song "All That I Wanted" by Autovein is a mid-tempo rock ballad that seems to be aimed towards a former lover. The song is filled with questions and doubts about the relationship, and the emotions that come with it - longing, regret, and uncertainty. The opening lines "All that I wanted was you / And the more that we cared / All that I needed was you / And the more that we shared" paints a picture of a relationship that seemed to be once strong, but has now fallen apart. The singer then addresses the ex-partner, asking where they would be, what they would see, and who they would know if they were still together.
The chorus of the song is repetitive, with the singer continuing to ask these haunting questions - "Where would you be / And who would you see / Am I lying here right on the ground / And where would you go / And who would you know / And would you have love if you saw me around / And how would I know." Here, the singer seems to be admitting defeat, accepting that the relationship is over and that they may never have the answers to their questions.
The song takes an interesting turn in the third verse, with the singer acknowledging that they thought they were right but realizes now that their former lover was actually correct. "And I thought you were wrong but you're right / I can't help how you feel / And I thought that I needed this fight / Now I know how you feel" reveals that the singer understands now that the end of the relationship was not one person's fault, but rather a joint decision.
