From Crease.org: "Crease landed at Roadrunner Records after Florida's biggest commercial rock station, WZTA (94.9 ZETA), embraced Crease's anthemic, fist-pounding hit, "Frustration" which was the most requested song for weeks and remained in active rotation for a full year on the station. After the release of their debut record Vindication on Roadrunner, Crease returned to the studio with multi-platinum Grammy-winning engineer/mixer/producer Charles Dye, who's credits include Aerosmith, Jon Bon Jovi, Sammy Hagar, Lauryn Hill and Ricky Martin - an unlikely pairing for a hard-hitting rock band, but the chemistry was right-on and the result undeniable. Crease's sophomore full-length Only Human contains 12 fat, hook-laden, rock hits, certain to establish Crease among rock's new powerhouse bands."

2. A 4-piece Grindcore band, hailing from Medicine Hat, AB, Canada. Recognized by some for their interview on the podcast "No One Likes Your Band" and their split with Anal Sausages, Crease are currently working on their full length debut album.

Frustration
Crease Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got no expectations
I complicate the complications
I've got no objection to whatever's going on

Filled with anticipation
I decorate with decoration
Try hard to be the focus of it all

Chorus:

Tell me you want me, 'cause I don't believe you
Feel the frustration - (I feel the frustration)
Life is the slowest form of suicide
Feel the frustration - (I feel the frustration)

I truly miss the sensation
I stimulate the stimulation
Hard not to miss the way you rub me wrong

When is my expiration?
I fascinate my fascination
I can't believe I'm hanging on this long

Chorus (x2)

Now I deny all allegations
I instigate the altercations
I'm always right or wrong, most never wrong

Chorus (x2)

Overall Meaning

In the song "Frustration" by Crease, the artist seems to be expressing their inner turmoil and confusion. The opening lines "I've got no expectations, I complicate the complications, I've got no objection to whatever's going on" give the impression of a resigned, apathetic attitude. The artist is trying to simplify their life by not expecting anything, but they end up complicating even the simplest aspects of their life. They accept whatever is going on around them, possibly because they feel helpless to change anything. The artist seems to be stuck in a cycle of frustration; they feel they aren't getting what they truly want out of life.

The second verse in the song focuses on the artist's inability to feel sensations they once enjoyed. They refer to stimulation as a decoration that they cannot seem to find or enjoy anymore. The line "I can't believe I'm hanging on this long" suggests that the artist is going through some kind of internal struggle or pain that they are trying to cope with.

The chorus "Tell me you want me, 'cause I don't believe you, Feel the frustration - (I feel the frustration), Life is the slowest form of suicide, Feel the frustration - (I feel the frustration)" is a cry for help or understanding. The artist seems to be in a state of confusion and disbelief, they need someone to affirm their worth and existence. The line "Life is the slowest form of suicide" suggests that the artist feels like their life is meaningless, and they are forced to endure it slowly, which adds to their frustration.

I miss Zeta.... rock stations in S. FL suck without it. I heard crease on zeta and have listened to them since. I really thnk they should have made it big. They are more talented than a lot of other bands out there (*cough* bieber*cough*) this song and butterfly stitches are two of my favorites. I really love the the chorus "Life is the Slowest Form of Suicide".

When did this come out? I was like 14 or 15. I was so OBSESSED with this song. I recorded it off the radio and then recorded it onto another cassette tape - filling the whole 120 minutes. OBSESSED. This guy's voice was such a fucking turn on.

I was a young teen when I first heard this on 98Rock WXTB in Tampa area. I managed to record the last 20 seconds of it on cassette tape, then over a few weeks I played it so much that the tape went zombie! After the tune ended, the female dj (Marla Stone perhaps?) said, "That's south Florida's Crease." I never heard it again aired publicly, unfortunately, and I never heard it at all after the cassette tape died. So cool that I remembered the jam and the name Crease. I have some serious goosebumps as this tune warps me back to a place and time... Aloha from Big Island, Hawaii!

@fritzd84

10y↑2

It's the same. Roadrunner just put it on their CD. Same mix and all. Might have been remastered. But Mike Fuller mastered both CDs too. I can dropbox the EP to you. Send me your email.

Actually, it's a little different than the version on "Six Pack Shy Of Pretty". For "Vindication", we re-recorded some of the guitars & vocals and remixed the song.
