They recorded their debut album in Jan 2005 with Garth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Chevelle) and mixed it a couple of months later with Adam Kasper (Nirvana, QOTSA).

After a pinch of bad luck and poor timing, they found themselves off of their label (Columbia Records) and fighting for the right to release their record. In June 2006 they ran into Outlook Music in Denver, CO, who decided to release the CD. The overdue release was slated for early 2007. 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.

Bullet In An Angel
Autovein Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come closer here
Lend me your ear
Remember when
I warned you
Maybe something more familiar

You'd put a bullet in an angel
That you held dear

You think you're better than an angel
That's why you're here

You have no ends
That I can see
After the bends
You buried maybe something more familiar

You put a bullet in an angel
That you held dear
You think you're better than an angel
That's why you're here

It isn't making any sense
No regard for consequence
Fuck whatever on your way
But you'll have hell to pay

You put a bullet in an angel

You put a bullet in an angel
That you held dear
You think you're better than an angel
That's why you're here
You put a bullet in an angel
You put a bullet in an angel

You put a bullet in an angel
You put a bullet in an angel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Autovein's song "Bullet In An Angel" tell a story of regret and betrayal. The singer pleads with someone, asking them to remember when they were warned about something, presumably their actions that have caused harm to others. The chorus describes this person's actions as putting a bullet in an angel that they held dear, and thinking they are better than an angel, which is why they are here. The verses imply that this person has no regard for consequences and has buried something familiar to them.

On a deeper level, this song could be interpreted as commentary on society's tendency to harm those who are good and innocent, while thinking ourselves superior to them. The use of an angel as a metaphor highlights this idea, as angels are typically viewed as pure and blameless. The singer's pleading and the repetition of the chorus serve to emphasize the weight of this betrayal and the guilt that the person should feel for their actions.

Overall, "Bullet In An Angel" is a poignant and thought-provoking song that encourages us to reflect on our actions and the harm that we may cause to others.
