1. Bane is a hardcore … Read Full Bio ↴Bane is a name that has been used more than once:
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.

Bane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And lights another
"One day I'll quit these things,
They're killing me."
She blows her brains
Right out her fucking mouth
I just don't know how you do it
That you don't have
Deep within your fucking self
Well, there is nothing in me
That you do not have
Deep within your fucking self
Yes, the body is weak
But the mind is stronger
It controls the body
You are not a slave.
And I am not a superhero!
You see, the difference between hard and impossible
Well, it's a thousand miles wide
But that's not what you want to hear.
Don't live a lifetime of regret.
Is there a moment of uncomfort
Never knowing, no, no, never knowing
How great it feels to be free
The song "Superhero" by Bane is a powerful and introspective reflection on the struggles of addiction and the hope for freedom. The opening lyrics describe a woman who is addicted to smoking, acknowledging that the habit is killing her. The line "She blows her brains right out her fucking mouth" is a visceral representation of the harm that addiction can inflict on the body. The singer expresses bewilderment at how someone could continue to harm themselves in this way.
The following lines, "Well, there is nothing in me that you don't have, deep within your fucking self" are a powerful reminder that addiction is a universal struggle. The singer is suggesting that the woman has the power within herself to overcome her addiction, and that this power is available to all of us. The repeated line, "And I am not a superhero" emphasizes the idea that the struggle against addiction is not a feat of superhuman strength, but a struggle that we are all capable of facing.
The chorus of the song offers a message of hope and empowerment, with lines like "the body is weak but the mind is stronger" and "you are not a slave". The singer is suggesting that even though addiction may feel like it has control over us, we ultimately have the power to free ourselves from its grip. The closing lines urge the listener to seize the moment of discomfort and embrace the liberating feeling of being free from addiction.
Overall, "Superhero" is a powerful and deeply personal song that offers hope and encouragement to those struggling with addiction. It is a reminder that we all have the power within ourselves to overcome our struggles and embrace a life of freedom and empowerment.
