1. Bane is a hardcore punk band that began as a side project between Aaron Dalbec (then of Converge) and Damon Bellardo. Dalbec approached Matt Firestone to sing and they played under the moniker of Gateway for a few shows, before Firestone parted ways to focus on other projects. Dalbec then approached Aaron Bedard (who had previously sung for the Worcester, Massachusetts hardcore band Backbone) about singing for Bane. They went into the studio in December 1995 with a few friends and released a five-song demo. The next year saw the release of their first EP, and many shows throughout central Massachusetts. In early 1997, Bane released Free to Think, Free to Be EP, and in 1998 the band released the Holding This Moment 7" and CD collection, and embarked upon their first US tour. Like many other hardcore bands, Bane are known for their promotion of tolerance and unity within the scene.

In an early album Bane claimed straight edge, however it was never their main lyrical focus. The current original members are straight edge; Bob Mahoney and Stu are not. They still perform early songs with straight edge references, such as "Count Me Out" which includes the lyric "Just like this X on the back of my hand, I'm not going nowhere". However the lyrics to the song "Wasted on the Young", on Bane's album The Note can be interpreted as criticism of people who ignorantly claim straight edge too early in their life.

Lost At Sea
Bane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look at me and I can't see me
Without this
It scares the fuck out of me
Where will I be?
I can't even guess
The ropes nearly cut clean
Who will reach out for me?

I'm lost at sea

What happens when you take away the thing that I have done the best
And loved the most
For all these years
I knew the rules
Some things you cant outrun
And if it lived then it must die
Deaf, dumb, and so naive
No one left to hear me scream

My decisions were so easy
The view it was so pretty
How can it be?

Oh, foolish me
Did I really believe that this would always be?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bane's song Lost At Sea describe a feeling of insecurity and vulnerability that the singer feels when they can no longer rely on the thing that has defined them for so long. The first stanza describes the fear that the singer feels at the thought of losing whatever it is that grounds them in their identity. They are scared of not knowing where they will be or who will be there for them if they lose this part of themselves. The second stanza highlights how ingrained this part of themselves is, and how hard it will be to move on once it's gone. The singer knows that they can't outrun their problems, and that there are certain things that they simply cannot control. All they can do is hope that someone will be there to support them when they fall.

The third and final stanza reveals the singer's regret at not recognizing the transience of their situation earlier. They are left feeling foolish for believing that this part of themselves would always be there, and for not acknowledging that change is inevitable. The lyrics suggest that the singer is ashamed for not being able to adapt in the face of adversity, and for being blind to the consequences of their actions.

Overall, the lyrics to Lost At Sea explore themes of identity, insecurity, and regret. The singer's fear of losing a fundamental part of themselves serves as a reminder that we are often defined by our circumstances, and that our ability to adapt is crucial to our survival.

Line by Line Meaning

I look at me and I can't see me
I am so identified with the thing I do that I cannot imagine myself without it

Without this
Without the thing I do that defines me

It scares the fuck out of me
The thought of losing my identity is terrifying

Where will I be?
I have no idea where I'd end up

I can't even guess
I have no way of knowing

The ropes nearly cut clean
My link to my identity is nearly severed

Who will reach out for me?
Who will help me find a new identity?

I'm lost at sea
I have lost my way in life

What happens when you take away the thing that I have done the best
What happens when I lose the thing that made me special?

And loved the most
The thing that brought me the most joy

For all these years
For all the time I have been doing it
