1) The German band Chrom was set up in 2007 by Christian Marquis and Thomas Winters. The bass power, impact and energy of EBM are fused with the airy, technoid elements of futurepop and the lush melodies of synthpop to a versatile and compact sound that creates its very own niche in between bands like VNV Nation or Solitary Experiments.

2) Chrom is a New York duo started in 2003 comprised of Chris Kapica on bass and Tom Nasca on guitar. Influences are from jazz, prog rock, alternative rock and classic rock with a reversal of roles - the bass is the lead instrument and improviser in Chrom. Currently inactive.

3) Chrom was a dance-act created by the German producers Marco Lietschko and Christian Sauer. In 1997 they released the "Waveform One E.P.".

Walked the Line
CHROM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can′t remember anything you've said
I try to hide it and I smile instead
I hope and pray that you are by my side
I′m restless and I can't sleep at night
My mind's weird and I try to keep control

And I always walked the line
I guess I did it all the time

It was never good for me
I surrendered now I see

Everybody has to choose
How to live without excuse
There′s no time to hesitate
Cause I don′t believe in fate

I'm on the run I try to get away
Leave me alone I don′t wanna stay
I can run but I can't hide
I can′t get no sleep at night
I'm sick and tired there′s nothing I can do

And I always walked the line
I guess I did it all the time
It was never good for me
I surrendered now I see

Everybody has to choose
How to live without excuse
There's no time to hesitate
Cause I don't believe in fate

And I always walked the line
I guess I did it all the time
It was never good for me
I surrendered now I see

Everybody has to choose
How to live without excuse
There′s no time to hesitate
Cause I don′t believe in fate

No I don't believe in fate

I can′t remember anything you've said
I have forgotten every word you've said to me

I try to hide it and I smile instead
I pretend everything's okay and put on a fake smile

I hope and pray that you are by my side
I wish for your presence and support

I′m restless and I can't sleep at night
I am unable to find peace and struggle to sleep

My mind's weird and I try to keep control
My mind is chaotic and I strive to maintain composure

And I always walked the line
I have always behaved according to the rules and expectations

I guess I did it all the time
I adhered to my disciplined approach consistently

It was never good for me
This behavior didn't benefit me

I surrendered now I see
I have given in and now realize my mistake

Everybody has to choose
Everyone must make their own decisions

How to live without excuse
They must determine how to live responsibly
