1) Casey is a Welsh melodic hardcore band formed in South Wales, United Kingdom in 2014. The band formed shortly after vocalist Tom Weaver and guitarist Liam Torrance left previous projects, Continents and Hot Damn respectively.
Originally formed as a studio band under the name Well Wisher, Weaver and Torrance later recruited Toby Evans, Max Nicolai, and Scott Edwards, and began producing material with the intention of performing live. After a brief hiatus while Weaver auditioned to join the band Northlane, the name Well Wisher was dropped, and the band relaunched under the name Casey. The name is derived from both Weaver's love of the album Casey by The Rise of Science, and also Torrance's tribute to the late Hawthorne Heights guitarist, Casey Calvert.
On December 1st, 2018, the band released a statement explaining that they have decided to disband following a final UK/European tour and a one-off headline show in the US in 2019. Casey's music has been described as "packed to the rafters with emotionally charged guitar lines and captivating, heartfelt lyrics" and "mix of rhythmic atmosphere, spoken word, hardcore guitar and more into the tracks guaranteed to move you and tell you a vivid story.", leading to them being categorized as post-hardcore, melodic hardcore, hardcore punk, emotional hardcore, shoegaze and alternative rock.
In the years following Casey's disbandment, Smith formed the bands Asidhara and Mourn, which was with members of Continents and Wilderness, and released their debut single on August 5, 2021, while Nicolai and Torrance formed Exit Dream alongside vocalist Wesley Thompson, formerly of Napoleon and Climates, and session musician Rob Hawkins.
On December 1, 2022, the band announced that they had reformed and that they had booked five tour date in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe between January 12 and 20, 2023. After every one of the dates sold out, they announced on December 11 that had booked additional dates in London and Oberhausen and upgraded the date in Manchester. In a January 2023 interview with Clash magazine, Weaver explained the reunion came about when Torrence contacted him about reforming only days after his split from his fiancée, which Torrence was unaware of. In the following weeks, the band's final lineup then began to meet one another, and soon writing again. On December 6, 2022, they released the single "Great Grief", the first song written as a band following their reunion, which was followed on January 3, 2023, by the single "Atone".
Forward to September 15, 2023, they released the single "Puncture Wounds To Heaven", and announced it would be a part of their upcoming third studio album.

Casey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It resonates with every word and I'm stirred awake at night
Because my mind is but a pendulum that oscillates
It swings from grief that suffocates
To brevity my voice can't shake
I stutter when I speak 'cause I'm still so weak
I guess the notion of content has always felt incongruent
About the solipsistic attitude I take towards my health
Oh, how it pains me to admit it
But I'm far from self-sufficient
My independence stolen
By persistent mental illness
Please, don't mistake my silence for ignorance
I'm trying to be better at this
But I'm sick and tired of self-abusing
And making excuses for why
I hesitate to lead a life that should elate me
I'm reminded daily that my depression can't be justified
But I can't seem to quieten down my mind
I've always been ashamed to say that maybe I need help
But it's either that, or face the fact I may end up killing myself
I can't tell if I'm a coward for being scared to leave
Or if I'm brave for staying when I'm riddled with worry
So, this is an open letter to myself in ten years' time
I'm sorry if you're not around to read this
I swear that I tried
The lyrics of Casey's song Wavering delve deep into the struggles of mental health. The opening lines "I've let melancholy permeate my epidermis, it resonates with every word and I'm stirred awake at night" paint a vivid picture of the pervasive nature of depression, how it seeps into every aspect of one's being and cannot be escaped even in sleep. The next lines "because my mind is but a pendulum that oscillates, it swings from grief that suffocates to brevity my voice can't shake, I stutter when I speak 'cause I'm still so weak" highlight the instability of the mind when plagued with depression; it oscillates between extreme emotions that render one powerless.
The song then moves on to explore the internal conflict of seeking help for mental illness. The singer grapples with a solipsistic attitude towards their own health - "about the solipsistic attitude I take towards my health, oh, how it pains me to admit it". They acknowledge that their independence has been stolen by persistent mental illness, and while they try to be better, they are "sick and tired of self-abusing and making excuses". The singer is torn between wanting to lead a fulfilling life and the reality of their depression holding them back - "I hesitate to lead a life that should elate me, I'm reminded daily that my depression can't be justified, but I can't seem to quieten down my mind".
The song ends with an open letter to the singer's future self, apologizing if they are "not around to read this". It's a moving acknowledgment of the gravity of mental health struggles and the challenges of fighting one's own mind. In summary, Wavering is a powerful reflection of the complexities and struggles of mental health and the internal conflict of seeking help.

I've let melancholy permeate my epidermis
I've allowed sadness to sink in deep under my skin
It resonates with every word and I'm stirred awake at night
Every word reminds me of my sadness and I am kept awake all night
Because my mind is but a pendulum that oscillates
My mind swings back and forth like a pendulum
It swings from grief that suffocates
My mind is filled with overwhelming sadness that feels suffocating
To brevity my voice can't shake
And then suddenly, I feel empty and my voice can't recover
I stutter when I speak 'cause I'm still so weak
I have difficulty speaking because I am still feeling so weak
I guess the notion of content has always felt incongruent
I feel like happiness doesn't really fit for me
But it took a long time to be honest with myself
It took me a while to admit it to myself
About the solipsistic attitude I take towards my health
That I tend to keep my problems to myself and only think about my own health
Oh, how it pains me to admit it
It hurts me so much to say this out loud
But I'm far from self-sufficient
But I know I can't handle things on my own
My independence stolen
My ability to be independent has been taken away from me
By persistent mental illness
Due to my ongoing struggles with mental illness
Please, don't mistake my silence for ignorance
Just because I'm quiet, it doesn't mean I don't understand
I'm trying to be better at this
I am doing my best to improve
But I'm sick and tired of self-abusing
I'm done with being so hard on myself
And making excuses for why
And coming up with reasons for why I'm not doing better
I hesitate to lead a life that should elate me
I am afraid to live a life that should make me happy
I'm reminded daily that my depression can't be justified
I know that my depression doesn't really make sense
But I can't seem to quieten down my mind
But I can't seem to find peace in my mind
I've always been ashamed to say that maybe I need help
I've always felt embarrassed to ask for help
But it's either that, or face the fact I may end up killing myself
But I know I need to get help or things might end up really badly
I can't tell if I'm a coward for being scared to leave
I'm not sure if I'm being a coward for being afraid of what might happen
Or if I'm brave for staying when I'm riddled with worry
Or if I'm actually being brave for staying despite feeling so worried
So, this is an open letter to myself in ten years' time
This is a letter I'm writing to myself, to read ten years from now
I'm sorry if you're not around to read this
I hope I'm still alive then to read this
I swear that I tried
But if I'm not, please know that I did everything I could to get better
