They continued to work the underground scene and played as much as they possibly could over the next couple of years.

With over 70 shows under their belt not only in Scandinavia but also in USA and more the band has shown what they can dish out. Although the band's first single might show a bit of the lighter side of Blowsight, don't be fooled. You can count on some hard driving guitars, raw but yet beautiful melodic vocals and plenty of drum abuse to come shortly after.

"We've been doing what we love most for the last 4 years while mailing demos to every record label we could find. Who would have thought we would end up getting signed for a single ("I'll Be Around") by Sony/BMG because of an internet website", vocalist/guitarist Niklas adds.

One day the band decided to upload some songs on a website called allears.se and all of a sudden they have over 25,000 plays in just two months and all 4 of their demo songs are sittin' on the top of the most sold charts.

Their debut album "Destination Terrorville" was released by the band themselves in June 2007, and has been recieved with great reviews. In summer of 2007, the band played the material at large festivals such as the Sweden Rock Festival, Rockoff and the Skellefteå Festival. In 2009, 'Destination Terrorville' is being released through Fastball Music/Sony on August 21, refueled with the bonus track 'Teenage Rockstar'

Blowsight's eagerness to experiment and evolve is lighting up their musical diversity. While the band's music has always been deeply personal, the songs can be felt emotionally by everyone who listens.

"The Band of the month" - Metal Hammer (Nov 2007)

"It should not take more than six months before this band signs a deal and starts touring the world" - Slavestate Magazine

"[Blowsight] takes a tired genre and reignites it" – Tunelab

DYSTOPIA
Blowsight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You claim that all that I can do is to see us fall apart
Like a brick that never joined the wall
I refuse to even start, tell me why, oh, why
Was I born this way with feelings from this heart

I'll never dare to say
I love you

So go ahead, you start
Let's see who has the most wicked mind
The most fucked up thoughts
Bring it on, I'm not scared

Let's play, if everything goes the way I want
You won't be around for very long and neither will I
The big question here is, "Who will understand?
And who will remember us for who we really are?"

You claim the problems of the world is nothing in compare
To the problems I create and peace that I declare
I fear my life will break me down so slowly
The winter, summer, spring and fall, I waited for my love to call

You never to choose to say goodbye
Without a chance to tell me why
Now I disappear

You say the antidote of pain is the parody of life
I'm so sick of never reaching goals but still you wanna try
The world was built with nothing but illusions
The winter, summer, spring and fall, I waited for my love to call

You never to choose to say goodbye
Without a chance to tell me why
Now I disappear

I cannot keep this dream alive
I guess it died before I tried
Now I disappear
Without no fear

I'm taking steps
Steps on another road
Steps to another world
1 step to numb the pain

1 step to ignore the masses
1 step to avoid the norm
1 step to destroy the chaos
1 step to drain the lies

1 step to forget everything about you
1 step to clear all evidence
1 step to find shelter
And 1 final step to nothingness

Now I am prepared to control the air
So let me break horizons

I will not be scared for the world to share
Remember me for who I was this day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blowsight's song Dystopia are layered with emotion and inner turmoil. The vocalist is questioning their own existence and the validity of their feelings. The opening lines speak of a partner or friend who has expressed doubt in the singer's ability to keep relationships from falling apart. However, the singer is willing to refuse this idea and will not even begin to contemplate the thought of letting go of their feelings. The fear is that their emotions are too strong and too intense. This is represented in the line, "Was I born this way with feelings from this heart?" The vocalist is aware that what they want and feel may not be considered normal or acceptable by everyone else, but it is who they are.

The song takes a darker turn towards the end as the singer speaks about taking steps towards another world and ultimately disappearing without fear. The feeling of being trapped in a dystopian world where nothing is real and everything is an illusion is expressed. The daydream of knowing oneself is present but the fear of not being remembered for who they are takes over. It seems as though the singer wants to be remembered as someone who was not afraid to take risks, to break horizons, and to control their own fate.

Line by Line Meaning

You claim that all that I can do is to see us fall apart
You assert that my only ability is to observe our destruction

Like a brick that never joined the wall
I am useless in the bigger picture and will never fit in

I refuse to even start, tell me why, oh, why
I won't try to become something that I'm not, tell me the reason

Was I born this way with feelings from this heart
Did I come into this world with such intense emotions?

I'll never dare to say I love you
I don't have the courage to express my love

So go ahead, you start Let's see who has the most wicked mind The most fucked up thoughts Bring it on, I'm not scared
You take the lead, let's compete to see who has the darkest imagination, I'm not afraid

Let's play, if everything goes the way I want You won't be around for very long and neither will I The big question here is, "Who will understand? And who will remember us for who we really are?"
Let's participate, and if the situation goes as I desire, we'll both be gone soon. The real question is, who will comprehend and recollect us for our genuine self?

You claim the problems of the world is nothing in compare To the problems I create and peace that I declare I fear my life will break me down so slowly The winter, summer, spring and fall, I waited for my love to call
You acknowledge the issues existing globally, but mine are far more prominent. I'm afraid that life will gradually crush me. I've yearned for my love to contact me during all four seasons.

You never to choose to say goodbye Without a chance to tell me why Now I disappear
You never said farewell while providing me with an explanation, resulting in my disappearance

You say the antidote of pain is the parody of life I'm so sick of never reaching goals but still you wanna try The world was built with nothing but illusions The winter, summer, spring and fall, I waited for my love to call
You suggest that the cure for misery is a mockery of existence. I am so weary of never achieving my objectives but you still aspire to. The universe comprises only delusions; I was hopeful for my lover's call during every season.

I cannot keep this dream alive I guess it died before I tried Now I disappear Without no fear
I can't persist with this aspiration, and it perished before I even attempted it. Consequently, I vanish without anxiety

I'm taking steps Steps on another road Steps to another world 1 step to numb the pain
I take strides on a new path, leaving behind the current one. Heading towards something new, with the first step for pain mitigation

1 step to ignore the masses 1 step to avoid the norm 1 step to destroy the chaos 1 step to drain the lies
One stride forward to disregard the crowd, another to dodge the conventional, a third to extinguish the disorder and the last step to purge the falsehoods

1 step to forget everything about you 1 step to clear all evidence 1 step to find shelter And 1 final step to nothingness
One step to eradicate all traces of you from my memory, another to wipe out all traces of your presence, and one to search for a place of refuge, the final stride culminates in nothingness.

Now I am prepared to control the air So let me break horizons I will not be scared for the world to share Remember me for who I was this day
Now I'm ready to manipulate the atmosphere; allow me to surpass the boundaries of expectation. I'm not afraid for the globe to witness it; remember me for the person I was on this day.
