1) Composed of the maze on vocals and der mate on keyboards, BLANK is italy’s most addictive project in the industrial dance realm. Drawing inspiration from early italian acts such as Pankow and Templebeat, as well as modern dance legends Paul Oakenfold and Tiesto, Blank caught the attention of the electro underground with their self-produced demos released in 2000 and 2001.
Their music is for the dancefloor and for the heart, combining thought-provoking lyrics with an overdose of energy to create new, fresh, and exciting dance music.
Signed to canadian label Artoffact records they have released their debut ep, “Overhead”, and their first full-length, “Artificial Breathing”, in early 2004. They have also teamed up with icon of coil project moonitor for some full-on dance hits on "Uturn 3 / The dark side of the beat" cd.
After 3 years of work, Blank have come back with a digital-only EP called "Hellbound", released in june 2007, and their long-awaited second album, "Impact Zone", in March 2008
2) Blank is a danish rock band based in the region Jylland. Inspired by Beatles, HIM, The Calling, Sting, KingsX, Dandy Warhols, Dave Matthews, Nirvana and etc, They were founded in 1997 and with their two labeled albums "Aiming for the moon" and the latest "End of chapter" they have set the standard of catchy melodies and vocal harmonies.
3) Blank got their start playing all-ages punk shows in various basements and fire halls in the Annapolis, MD, area in 1992. The group had a very explosive raw sound that incorporated the sincerity and pop hooks of East Bay pop-punk bands Samiam and Jawbreaker with the edgier more disjointed sounds of their Washington D.C. neighbors Jawbox and Nation of Ulysses. Blank's songs were both chaotic and extremely catchy at the same time. It was as if their super-infectious melodies were just dying to break through the chaotic noise. The group started as a five-piece with Ryan Shelkett on vocals, the dual guitar attack of Kerry Silanskis and Noah Chace, Shannon Mitchell on bass, and John Welch on drums.
The group eventually made their way up to Baltimore's small yet fertile indie rock scene where they stood out as one of the few Baltimore underground bands to concentrate on a more melodic sound. During this period the group released its first full-length CD, The Tab Street Affair, on Vermin Scum and 2% Muscle Records. The group at the same time began to build up a small but loyal following throughout the Annapolis-D.C.-Baltimore region. 1996 saw Blank slim down to a four-piece, with Shelkett picking up second guitar duties and a new rhythm section featuring Tom Kerner on bass and Leroy Blades III on drums.
The new lineup combined with Shelkett's matured songwriting made for less noise and more melody, which gained the group an even wider audience. Blank then recorded The Race EP for the local Baltimore punk label Reptilian Records and toured the U.S. to support it. A year later the group toured again extensively throughout America. In 1997 they recorded Anywhere but Here, which would be their final album before calling it quits. Throughout the group's five-year career they appeared on several compilations and were extremely prolific in releasing singles for various independent labels.
After the group split, Shellkett went on to form the emo rock quartet Cross My Heart, who released three albums on New York independent label Deep Elm. ~ Rick Kutner, All Music Guide

DEAD END
Blank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sentences to words
And words to letters
The great skies are open I feel your breathe on my neck
I close my eyes and tumble down
Even if I'm switching off my thoughts
It's so hard to make things right tonight
Neverending stairs to climb
I can't make you feel alright
I just can't convince you that I'm here'Cause you will always doubt inside
And you won't care if I am trying hard
You want something that I'll never have Tell me what went wrong
In "Dead End", Blank expresses feelings of frustration and hopelessness in a failing relationship. The opening lines suggest that meanings and understanding can be broken down into smaller and smaller components, such as sentences, words, and letters. This could symbolize the breakdown of communication in the relationship, and the difficulty in getting through to the other person. The line "even if I'm switching off my thoughts" suggests the singer is feeling overwhelmed and may be trying to shut down emotionally. The never-ending stairs and roads symbolize the feeling of being trapped or stuck, unable to move forward in the relationship.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's feelings of powerlessness in trying to change or convince the other person to see things differently. The line "you want something that I'll never have" suggests a fundamental incompatibility between the two people, and the sense of being unable to meet the other person's needs. The final line of the chorus, "tell me what went wrong", is a plea for understanding and closure, but also reflects the confusion and uncertainty that often comes with the end of a relationship.
Overall, "Dead End" is a poignant and relatable song about the difficulties of trying to salvage a relationship that is beyond repair.
Line by Line Meaning
Meanings come down to sentences
The deeper you go, the simpler things become
Sentences to words
Breaking apart what we say into individual components
And words to letters
The smallest building blocks of communication
The great skies are open I feel your breathe on my neck
Feeling exposed and vulnerable in the presence of another
I close my eyes and tumble down
Giving up control and letting yourself free fall
Even if I'm switching off my thoughts
Trying to escape your own mind
It's so hard to make things right tonight
Struggling to fix what's broken
Neverending stairs to climb
Feeling like you can never make progress
And neverending roads to walk on by I can't make you realize
Feeling stuck in a never-ending cycle of trying to convince someone of something
I can't make you feel alright
Not having the power to fix someone else's struggles
I just can't convince you that I'm here'Cause you will always doubt inside
Feeling invisible and like your presence goes unnoticed
And you won't care if I am trying hard You want something that I'll never have
Feeling like you'll never be enough for someone
Tell me what went wrong
Asking for clarity and understanding in a confusing situation
