============================
1) Cinder formed in 1999 with singer Roger Young, and lead guitarist Kenny Craig, playing in bars and clubs around the Southern Florida coastline area and writing songs for an album that would be called 'Soapy Tuna'. It was at this time they picked up bassist Pat McGuire, and drummer Brian Colbert, and changed their name to 'Jesus Gun'. In this form they recorded another album, which was available only at shows.
In 2001 they signed a record deal with Geffen Records and an album 'Break Your Silence' was recorded, with Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver producing nine of the album’s eleven tracks. In addition, Jay Baumgartner (Papa Roach, Alien Ant Farm, and Drowning Pool) and John Kurzweg (Creed, Puddle of Mudd) lent a hand in the production process as well. After the album was finished, the bands name was changed again, this time to 'Cinder', due to pressure from the record company (for legal reasons). Cinder began touring with such heavyweights as Creed and Sevendust, gaining a loyal following across America. Unfortunately, before the release date Geffen Records was bought out and unsigned bands including Cinder were released, and the album never was released. The single from that album "Soul Creation" was released and received much airtime on both the radio and on MTV, essentially promoting an album that was doomed to never exist (though a promo copy of the album did indeed leak onto the internet in 2002). Soul Creation even managed to get onto The Big Billboard 200 which is a dream for any band. Soul Creation was also featured in PS2 video games 'MX Unleashed' and 'NHL 2004'. This single helped keep the band's dreams alive as they struggled with their record company's contract. It took two more years for Cinder to be released from their contract with Geffen Records, and two more years after that before they were picked up by Rock Ridge Records.
In this time of limbo bassist Pat McGuire decided to leave the band, he was soon replaced with their current bassist, Steve Reich. With the new lineup and the new record company Cinder was ready to get back to recording. Their second album, titled House Full Of No Trust, was released on August 8, 2006, and a tour was to follow that but it was cut short due to lack of funds and Rock Ridge Records dropping the band. The album had a much softer sound than their unreleased first album. A third album entitled 'You' which saw the band returning to their original, heavier style was released in 2010. The album contains a total of 7 songs: 4 new songs and 2 new recordings of songs from their unreleased Geffen album. The lead single 'Gangsta Stereo' was released in 2010 and failed to chart.
2) Cinder was a hardcore band from Barcelona ( http://www.myspace.com/cinderkids ) that lasted from 2001 to 2010. They released a full-length album and a couple splits and 7''.

Cinder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If all we die alone
You're a long way from where you belong
You're a long long way from home
Please tell me something
I don't care
Just don't leave me here
The monster in the mirror
The poison in the air
The shadows in the corner
There's something everywhere
The voices in the next room
It's haunting me I swear
It's all because of you
Leave me in this tiny room
Let me die alone
There's a part of the man I've become
That still remembers you
Please take me somewhere
I don't care
Just don't leave me here
I'm too scared of
The monster in the mirror
The poison in the air
The shadows in the corner
There's something everywhere
The voices in the next room
It's haunting me I swear
It's all because of you
Don't make me suffer
Don't you dare
I know you're there
With the monster in the mirror
The poison in the air
The shadows in the corner
There's something everywhere
The voices in the next room
It's haunting me I swear
It's all because of you
And the monster in the mirror
The poison in the air
The shadows in the corner
There's something everywhere
The voices in the next room
It's haunting me I swear
It's all because of you
The song "Mirror" by Cinder is about the fear of the unknown and the struggles of dealing with mental illness. The lyrics are written from the perspective of someone who is trapped in a state of isolation and feels haunted by their own fears and anxieties. The opening lines of the song, "Leave this place of solitude, If all we die alone," set the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing that the singer feels alone and abandoned. The line "You're a long way from where you belong, You're a long long way from home" highlights the feeling of disorientation and the loss of a sense of security.
The chorus of the song, "The monster in the mirror, The poison in the air, The shadows in the corner," speaks to the singer's experience of living with mental illness. They see themselves as a monster, poisoned by their own thoughts, and constantly surrounded by shadows and voices. The repetition of the line, "It's all because of you," suggests that the singer may be blaming someone else for their struggles.
The second verse of the song emphasizes the singer's desire for connection, even though they are afraid. They want to be taken somewhere away from their current situation, but at the same time, they can't bear the thought of being left alone. The final chorus of the song brings the focus back to the monster in the mirror, showing that the singer is still struggling and feels trapped.
Overall, "Mirror" is a powerful song that speaks to the struggles of living with mental illness and the complicated emotions that come with it.

Say anything to me
I don't care
I am indifferent to what you say
Just don't leave me here
Do not abandon me in this place

Leave me in this tiny room
Abandon me in this small place
Let me die alone
Allow me to pass away without anyone around
There's a part of the man I've become
I have changed and evolved in some ways
That still remembers you
But I still have memories linked to you
Please take me somewhere
Take me away from here
Don't make me suffer
Do not make me endure pain
Don't you dare
Do not even think of doing it
I know you're there
I am aware of your presence nearby
