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

Don't Wanna Die
Blank Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one cares when your in the city
Dreams are smashed and life ain't pretty
You think you live in a fucked up place
Another rat runnin' in the race

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna be
No I don't wanna be

Don't wanna be just another face

Get outta my way - no time for you
That's the attitude on the avenue

I push and shove just to get my way
Cause tomorrow's only a day away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blank's song "Don't Wanna Die" seem to be brimming with existential dread and a sense of hopelessness. The first verse describes the feeling of being unnoticed and uncared for in a bustling city where dreams are shattered and life is far from pretty. The singer laments being just another rat racing towards an unknown destination, lost in the chaos of the urban jungle.

The chorus of the song expresses the desire to break free from this monotony and the urge to stand out from the crowd. The repetition of the phrase "Don't wanna be" emphasizes the singer's refusal to conform to society's expectations and become just another face in the crowd. The second verse seems to reflect the frustration and aggression that arise as a result of feeling trapped in such a situation. The lines "Get outta my way - no time for you/That's the attitude on the avenue" convey a sense of urgency and the need to push through any obstacles in order to achieve one's goals. The final line "Cause tomorrow's only a day away" hints at a sense of desperation and the fear of the future, as if time is running out and there's only a limited amount of time to make something of oneself.

Overall, "Don't Wanna Die" seems to be a song about the struggle to find purpose and identity in a society that values conformity above all else. Despite the bleakness of the lyrics, there is an underlying sense of determination and resilience that persists throughout the song.
