1) A post-hardcore/screamo band from Athens, Greece.
https://broken-fingers.bandcamp.com/releases
2) A noise/ambient artist from Washington
3) Footwork/Juke producer (with a dash of dubstep) Shawn Low from Spokane Washington United States. Not the plain ordinary flavour of those genres - it's pretty imaginative stuff with each track containing it's own little sonic surprise. Sneaky surprises from down there in the carpet where the deepest bass resides. You wouldn't notice how inventive his music is unless you had ears on your feet or were some kind of carpet mite; I am/have both.
The majority of plays recorded on to this page appear to be attributed to that same Broken Finger Shawn Low. Though at present the majority of people playing his music and recording those plays to last fm appear to mostly consist of just me.
You might describe his music as ambient noise if 'juke' and 'footwork' aren't part of your personal lexicon so it's also possible that 2 = 3 here. Late breaking news: he just told me over facebook that 'ambient noise' was how he described himself prior to making footwork music so does seem in this case that 2 does indeed = 3 here.
This one here is who i've been listening to:

Restless
Broken Fingers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are enemies of time
The years just passing by
The numbness just kicked in
And all I did was waste my time
In the beginning of the song "Restless" by Broken Fingers, the lyrics evoke a sense of constant motion and struggle with the passing of time. The notion of "the running never ends" suggests a feeling of perpetual movement and a struggle to keep up with the demands of life. The idea of being "enemies of time" further emphasizes this battle against the inevitable passage of time, highlighting a sense of urgency and a desire to make the most of each moment.
As the lyrics continue, the focus shifts to a feeling of numbness setting in. This numbness can be interpreted as a sense of detachment or resignation that comes from feeling overwhelmed or burned out by the relentless pace of life. The slowing down or numbing of emotions could be a defense mechanism to cope with the weight of time passing by and the pressure to keep up with its demands.
The line "And all I did was waste my time" reflects a sense of regret or disappointment in how time has been spent. This admission of wasting time can be a powerful and introspective realization that one may have been caught up in the cycle of busyness without truly fulfilling meaningful pursuits. It speaks to a longing for a deeper sense of purpose or fulfillment that may have been overlooked in the chaos of constantly trying to keep up with the ticking clock.
Overall, these lyrics from "Restless" capture a poignant and relatable sentiment of struggling with the relentless passage of time, feeling overwhelmed by the demands it brings, and ultimately reflecting on how time has been spent. The internal battle with time and the search for meaning in the midst of the chaos of life are themes that resonate with many listeners, making the song a powerful exploration of the complex relationship we have with time and the pursuit of fulfillment and purpose.
