1. Boris are a Japanese experimental metal band formed in Tokyo in 1992. The band's original lineup consisted of lead vocalist Atsuo, bassist/rhythm guitarist Takeshi, lead guitarist Wata, and drummer Nagata. After Nagata's departure in 1996, Atsuo took over drums and the lineup has remained consistent to this day. Boris draw influence from a huge variety of styles including, but not limited to, psychedelic rock, punk rock, sludge metal, doom metal, drone metal, pop, noise, shoegaze, and ambient. The band's name is taken from a song on Melvins' album, Bullhead. They released their debut full-length album, Absolutego, on their own label, Fangs Anal Satan, in 1996. They've since gone on to release over 20 studio albums, as well as a number of EPs, singles, and collaborations on various labels around the world. They have an especially close collaborative relationship with Merzbow, having released three studio albums, a 12" EP, and two live albums with the noise artist as of 2016.
Boris saw a huge increase in popularity between 2003 and 2006 when Southern Lord reissued some of their works in North America, garnering them critical acclaim and recognition in Western music press. Pink, originally released in 2005 in Japan via Diwphalanx, was reissued in 2006 by Southern Lord and met with a very positive reception in the US. Blender magazine and SPIN magazine both named it one of the year's best albums. The album also made the top of the metal section in Canadian magazine Exclaim's reader's poll of that year, and was in the top 10 of Pitchfork Media's top 50 records of the year.

2. Boris (full name: Boris Titulaer, born in Venlo, The Netherlands, 3 October 1980) is a Dutch male soul/pop singer. He was the winner of the second season of the 'Idols' talents contest (2004) on Dutch TV. His first single, 'When You Think of Me', was a #1 hit in The Netherlands, selling over 80,000 copies and receiving platinum status. Boris' début album, Rely on Me (2004), was certified gold in The Netherlands (40,000+ copies) within one week.
Two more albums as Boris followed: Holy Pleasure (2006) and Live My Life (2009), but Boris' glory days seemed over. He resurfaced in later years using monikers such as Bo-Rush, I Am Boris and - most notably - Bo Saris. His only album under the latter name, entitled Gold (2014), seemed to re-ignite his career, but not much has been heard of him since.

Boris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Abruptly you give up, you never care about me
Buzzzzzz...this is just irritating
Makes me wonder what I can do
Hey, sweetheart, what should I do now?
Now disconnected, we're just repeated by the echo
Disconnected, every time, all the time
We're connected serially and
Sticking together, you know what I mean
The head of your plug can be a bit more teasing
"May come off...stay deep inside please"
Hey, sweetheart, what should I do now
With us, so badly disconnected
The lyrics in Boris's song Les Paul Custom '86 are open to interpretation, but upon closer inspection, they seem to depict a volatile and uncertain relationship. The opening lines of "Oh dear, this whimsy, sulky fuzz/ Abruptly you give up, you never care about me" suggest that the singer is frustrated and possibly fed up with their partner's lack of investment in the relationship. The line "Buzzzzzz...this is just irritating/ Makes me wonder what I can do" conveys this frustration more clearly, as the "buzzing" sound could represent a persistent annoyance.
As the song progresses, the repeated phrase "Hey, sweetheart, what should I do now?" reveals the singer's sense of helplessness and inability to mend things. However, the line "The head of your plug can be a bit more teasing/ 'May come off...stay deep inside please'" could be interpreted as an attempt to make things work, as the singer asks their partner to stick around and not give up on the relationship entirely.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of unease and discomfort in a romantic relationship, with the singer repeatedly questioning what they can do to salvage the situation. The use of the guitar and fuzz effects in the music create a haunting and melancholic atmosphere that matches the lyrics perfectly.
