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

Untouched
Blank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
about these nonsense intentions
i feel there's no more to take
and there's no time to disagree
i'm unable to believe you
losing hold on burning scars
if i'm falling down from here
i end my life into your arms
in this useless silent room
staring at this silent truth
i find myself inside this prison
why are you hurting me?
there is no reason
every time i try not to feel
that uncertain kind of sadness
you get into my own worries
hitting me with some more lies
and i'm smiling at you falling
losing hold on burning scars
fake and naked, blind and helpless
only coldness in my heart
The lyrics to Blank's song Untouched seem to describe the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of pain caused by someone who keeps hurting the singer. The beginning of the song expresses the frustration that the singer feels, where they think about the intentions of the person causing them pain and feel like there's nothing else to take. They also feel like they can't disagree with this person.
In the second verse, it becomes clear that the singer does not believe this person anymore and is losing "hold on burning scars," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the hurt caused by this person. The singer then talks about falling down and ending their life into this person's arms; this can signify the idea of being completely powerless in this situation.
The chorus speaks of the singer's inability to escape the pain and find themselves again. They're stuck in a "useless silent room" and staring at the "silent truth," further emphasizing the feeling of being trapped. The final lines of the song are some of the most powerful, as the singer asks why this person keeps hurting them, despite there being no reason.
Overall, the lyrics to Untouched describe a cycle of pain, helplessness, and frustration caused by another person's actions. It's an emotional song that captures the feeling of being trapped in a toxic relationship.

every time i stop and think
Each time I pause and reflect
about these nonsense intentions
Concerning these meaningless motives
i feel there's no more to take
I sense nothing left to endure
and there's no time to disagree
No opportunity to debate
i'm unable to believe you
I lack the ability to trust you
losing hold on burning scars
Failing to cling onto searing wounds
if i'm falling down from here
If I'm descending from this point
i end my life into your arms
I end my existence in your embrace
can't run away and find myself again
I'm incapable of fleeing to rediscover my identity
in this useless silent room
Within this empty, quiet space
staring at this silent truth
Gazing at this speechless reality
i find myself inside this prison
I discover myself in this confinement
why are you hurting me?
Why do you cause me pain?
there is no reason
There is no justification
every time i try not to feel
Each time I attempt to avoid emotions
that uncertain kind of sadness
That ambiguous type of sorrow
you get into my own worries
You invade my own troubles
hitting me with some more lies
Assaulting me with additional falsehoods
and i'm smiling at you falling
And I'm grinning as you tumble
fake and naked, blind and helpless
Fictitious and exposed, sightless and powerless
only coldness in my heart
My heart contains solely coldness
