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.
The Art of Blowing Holes in a Heart
Coparck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are what keeps me going
I need another love
And it's time you noticed me
It's time you noticed me
It's time you noticed me
It's time you noticed me
The soft showing, it can be as hard
As rocks and stones
And I need another love
And it's time you noticed me
It's time you noticed me
It's time you noticed me
It's time you noticed me
It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time
The lyrics of Coparck's song "The Art of Blowing Holes in a Heart" reveal the raw emotions of a person who can only feel alive when they are breaking hearts. The lyrics are quite dark and showcase a love that is toxic and ultimately self-destructive. The singer admits to wanting another love, not because they desire someone to love, but to have someone to hurt. They are addicted to the thrill of emotionally manipulating and abandoning someone, leaving a hole in the heart.
The line "The art of blowing holes in a heart" is probably the most crucial statement in the song, as it speaks to the singer's warped perception of love. They see love not as an act of compassion, but as a way to inflict pain. The singer's addiction to breaking hearts is so intense that they cannot function without it. The second stanza reinforces this as the singer describes how love, which should be soft, can be as hard as rocks and stones.
Overall, this song is a raw portrayal of a broken person, who has adopted a destructive way of expressing love. The song speaks to the complexities of the human psyche and how one's emotional history can shape their understanding of love.
