Their name comes from bananaCUE (bananas cooked with charcoals, a delicacy in the Philippines) and the pronoun "she." They used to practice their music in the bedroom of their current bandleader Mike Manaloto -- it was the band’s makeshift rehearsal studio. After practice, they would have Banana Cue, a cheap but nutritious Filipino street food for snacks, as it was what they could afford as students. This became the inspiration for the first syllable of the band's name. The “shé”, pronounced 'shay,' comes from the gender of the vocalist, who was female. According to the band, an accent was added at the end of Cueshé to make it attractive to hear.
After surviving a near-death motorcycle mishap in December 24, 2001, Jay Justiniani replaced the female vocalist.
Guitarist/lead vocalist Ruben Caballero later joined the group. His contribution to the band evolved from only doing vocals with Jay to playing the guitar. Pianist/Keyboardist Jhunjie Dosdos came into the band with musical experience from his younger years. He joined numerous singing contests when he was still a kid. In his former band, he performed vocals and guitars.
In March 2005, the band took a risk by moving to the capital to become full-time musicians. They were urgently signed up and rushed to the studio.

Borrowed Time
Cueshé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every start has an end
Like the sunrise and the sunset
That's just how it is
Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
I need you like you need me
Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.
This bitterness inside
Is an empty space I hide
It never satisfies
Living my life in a lie
Love on borrowed time
Will never be yours nor mine
I'll just close my eyes
And it will be alright
Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.
Now that you've gone away
You seem so close
But you're miles and miles away
Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last.
Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last.
Oh, it's good to be true,
If our hopes and dreams come true
Wish that I had more
Of this borrowed time
If only it would last a lifetime.
The lyrics of Cueshé's song Borrowed Time talk about the transience of life and love. It starts with the statement that every fight needs mending and every start has an end, much like the natural phenomenon of a sunrise and sunset. The song then moves on to talk about love on borrowed time which can never truly belong to anyone, and the singer's desire to hold on to this borrowed time, hoping it would last a lifetime. The emptiness and bitterness inside, as well as the feeling of living a lie, are also portrayed.
The song talks about the hope and dreams that people have in love and relationships but acknowledges the fleeting nature of these things. Love on borrowed time is not permanent, and although it may be good to be true while it lasts, it will eventually end. The lyrics express the feeling of missing someone who has gone away, and the paradoxical feeling of them seeming close but being miles and miles away.
Overall, the song speaks to the human experience of loss, longing, and the temporary nature of all things. It also touches on the desire for things to last, even though everything has an end.
