After two albums, recording, producing and mixing all their music by themselves, the band decided to improve on their 'Do-It-Yourself' mentality and take it to a next level. This 3rd album (appropriately called The 3rd Album) is a co-operation with producer Reyn. His recording studio, filled with old analogue synths, pianos and rare musical apparatuses, was an apt place for the quartet to put their creativity to the test. Twelve haunting songs have found their way into this work of fiction. The first single A good year for the robots, the ironic God dress America and the uplifting You will fall are just a few of the highlights on the album. The magazine-like booklet coming with the album is a compilation of 12 photographs by talented Dutch artists and photographers and 12 little stories accompanying the 12 songs. You'll also find all the lyrics in the back of the booklet. This whole Coparck magazine has been compiled and written by Girod, feeding the listener with images and words.
The album got very good response. National radio station 3FM and some magazines proclaimed it their “Album of the Week”, MTV made Coparck’s video for “Good Year for the Robots” as “Must-C”.
Kindamuzik.net mentioned Coparck’s album as “the new standard for Dutch bands”.
In autumn 2009 they released their last album, A Dog and Pony Show. In februari 2010, after ten beautiful years, they decided to stop. After giving one last tour, and playing at several festivals, they finally quit in summer 2010.
A Little Lost
Coparck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing's what it seems, mistaken
Adding mysteries, embrace them
As we'd like to be a little lost, a little lost
A little lost, a little lost
Suppose we'd all walk backwards and change directions
And four arms could not fit in one jacket
Anything that gets us distracted a little lost
A little lost, a little lost, a little lost
Was it goodbye, real nice or I'll miss you?
Was it relaxed slowly or far too busy?
The idea of logic existing
These crowded mountains, all drifting a little lost
A little lost, a little lost, a little lost
The lyrics to Coparck's "A Little Lost" are cryptic and poetic, evoking a sense of mystery and disorientation. The song's first verse describes a dreamlike state where nothing is what it seems and the night is rainy. In this state, the singer embraces the mysteries, suggesting a desire for a little confusion and uncertainty.
The second verse takes a more surreal turn, imagining a world where people walk backwards and talk to strangers. Four arms cannot fit in one jacket, suggesting a world that defies physical laws. The singer seems to be longing for distraction or confusion, wanting to be a little lost in a world that often feels too logical and predictable.
The chorus repeats the phrase "a little lost" several times, reinforcing the idea that confusion and disorientation can be an escape from the monotony of everyday life. The final verse adds yet another layer of complexity, describing "crowded mountains" that are all drifting, further emphasizing the sense of confusion and dislocation.
Overall, "A Little Lost" is a song about the desire for something different and unexpected in a world that often feels too mundane and predictable. The dreamlike imagery and cryptic lyrics create a sense of disorientation and mystery that invites interpretation and reflection.
