P-O Svensson started the band as a hobby with Magnus Löfdahl. Johan Nilsson joined in March of 2001 and, in April, they came second at the "Quest for Fame" contest. They soon began recording their first EP, "Colony 5" (which was released at the beginning of 2002), but in August Magnus left the band.

Following the release of their first album, "Lifeline", Magnus Kalnins joined the band, soon after which they released their second single "Follow Your Heart" which contained three new songs not on the album.

2003 saw the single "Black" and their second album "Structures" released. Over the summer, C5 played at several large festivals and were nominated as "Best Newcomers" at the "Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards" (they came second). Sadly, Johan decided to leave the band in November.

Their output slowed during 2004/5 whilst they toured eastern Europe. A collection of singles called "Colonisation" was released in 2004 and Colony 5 again got nominated for a SAMA award, this time losing out to "Statemachine".

A new album, "Fixed", appeared in spring 2005. They were again nominated for SAMA awards, this time as "Best Band" and "Best Song" (for the single "Plastic World"). The latter of which they won.

December 2007 saw the release of the single "Knives", their first new material for some 18 months. The album "Buried Again" followed in February 2008. It was released by Memento Materia in Scandinavia, Infacted in Germany and ArtOfFact in the USA.

Trust You
Colony 5 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust you
Why did I trust you?
Left me here to die
Like in a desert without the most significant life supply

We were meant to be for eternity
At least I thought it was
The way we walked through pleasure and pain

But most the pain
This world is giving us
Why can't we move on?

To the other side
The side you convinced me exists
The way to eternity together we shall leave

Trust you
Why did I trust you?
Left me here to die
Like in a desert without the most significant life supply

All those lies you fed me with
I believed you
What a fool

I have been the paradise on the other side
All the planning we made about the suicide

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Colony 5's song Trust You contain a powerful message about the pain of betrayal and the struggle to move on. The opening lines, "Trust you, why did I trust you?" set the tone for the rest of the song as the singer laments the loss of trust in someone they had believed would be with them forever. The line "Left me here to die, like in a desert without the most significant life supply" is a poignant metaphor for the feeling of abandonment and hopelessness that comes with betrayal.

The lyrics go on to describe the difficult road the singer and their partner traveled together, enduring both pleasure and pain but ultimately unable to move on from the hurt they caused each other. The line "The way to eternity together we shall leave" suggests that the couple may have made plans to end their lives together, which adds another layer of complexity to the song.

Overall, "Trust You" is a powerful expression of the pain of betrayal and the struggle to come to terms with the loss of trust in someone you once believed in. It speaks to the universal human experience of being hurt by someone we love and the challenge of finding a way to heal and move forward.
