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.

Things Will Never Change
Blowsight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For another day, for another task
I've been treating you bad, yeah I know
It's time to change it, time to grow
I'm gonna let you in, play video games
Gon' let you win and act ashamed
We're gonna have a good time
I didn't know I could change this story
Am I the reason why nothing will ever change?
Are you the girl who just stood before me?
Am I the shadow of me from yesterday?
You didn't know you just killed my glory
I didn't realize things will never change
But things will never change
Oh, oh, you should've let me go
I should just drive away
Without looking back
Without a thing to say
But you are on my mind simply everyday
I'm like a fish in the pond
The one you could betray
It doesn't make any sense
You don't seem to care
About what we had, it isn't fair
I know you're still the good kind
I know you're still the good kind
I didn't know I could change this story
Am I the reason why nothing will ever change?
Are you the girl who just stood before me?
Am I the shadow of me from yesterday?
You didn't know you just killed my glory
I didn't realize things will never change
But things will never change
So I blow out the candle
The fire puts me in control
I know I told you awhile ago
And I hate to say, "I told you so"
But did the time just run out?
Did the time just run out?
Did the time just run out?
I think our time just ran out
Just ran out, yeah
I didn't know I could change this story
Am I the reason why nothing will ever change?
Are you the girl who just stood before me?
Am I the shadow of me from yesterday?
You didn't know you just killed my glory
I didn't realize things will never change
But things will never change
The lyrics to Blowsight's song Things Will Never Change are reflective of a relationship that has ended, but the singer is struggling to move on. The song begins with the singer feeling worn down; he doesn't want to put on a façade anymore, but instead wants to be his true self. He acknowledges that he's been treating his partner poorly and it's time to change his ways. He then talks about spending time with his partner, letting her win at video games as a symbol of his commitment to making the relationship work. There is a sense of hope here that things could improve.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective, wondering if he is the reason that nothing ever changes in his life. He sees his partner as just a girl who stood before him and wonders if he is merely a shadow of his former self. He is trying to understand where it all went wrong, questioning whether he could have changed the way things turned out. There is a sense of resignation in the chorus, where he acknowledges that things will never change. He had hoped that he could have a better future, but now he must accept that it may not happen.
The song concludes with the singer blowing out a candle and feeling like he's in control. He notes that he's been down this path before and had warned his partner to make changes, but the time has run out. The singer is at a point where he is ready to move on, even though it might not be easy. The lyrics are evocative of a feeling of the end of something- the end of a relationship, a chapter in life, or perhaps just a realization that comes with growing up.
