In 1995, Jean Michel, Nono and Christian left their previous band, Seventeen. The 3 guys had already noticed Declan singing in pubs in Cork and were impressed, but the band didn’t get together then. The O’Shea brothers went to work in Euro Disney in France, but luckily on one of their home journeys the lads finally got together. Cyclefly was formed. At first the band was called Dogabone, and they released a EP in 1995 under this name. It was in 1997 that they changed their name to Cyclefly after being inspired by one of Declan’s paintings.
In 1999, Cyclefly released their debut album, Generation Sap and made their live debut at Whiskey on the Sunset Strip. In 2002 their second album, Crave, was released.
Christian and Declan Set up "Mako." and released their debut album "Living on Air" in 2010

Cyclefly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're making me crazy.
I can't hide my frustration, I don't like generation.
We don't need your imitations, somebody save me.
We're out of control, digging a hole,
It's making my head spin, just let it sink in,
There's no stress, no stress.
I could've be pushing daises.
I can't hide my frustration, I don't like generation.
We don't need your expectations, somebody save me.
We're out of control, digging a hole,
It's making my head spin, just let it sink in,
There's no stress, no stress, no stress.
We're out if control, digging a hole,
It's making my head spin, just let it sink in.
There's no stress, no stress, no stress.
You've always amazed me,
You're making me crazy, crazy.
We're out of control,
It's making my head spin, just let it sink in,
there's no stress, no stress, no stress.
I'm out of control, digging a hole,
It's making my head spin, just let it sink in,
I'm out of control, digging a hole.
It's making my head spin, it's making my head spin,
We're out of control, digging a hole.
It's making my head spin, it's making my head spin,
I'm out of control, I'm out of control, I'm out of control.
The lyrics to Cyclefly's song "No Stress" express the frustration and confusion that the singer feels towards the current generation's way of living. The lines "I don't like generation. We don't need your imitations" and "We don't need your expectations" suggest a disregard for popular culture and societal norms. The repetition of "no stress" throughout the song may be interpreted as a plea for a simpler way of life or a rejection of the pressure and anxiety that modern society often produces.
The singer also references being "out of control" and "digging a hole," which could be interpreted as an acknowledgement of their own actions contributing to their stress and frustration. The line "You're driving me crazy, I could've be pushing daises" suggests that the stress and frustration caused by the current state of society may be negatively impacting the singer's mental health and well-being.
Overall, "No Stress" speaks to the difficulties and complexities of living in a fast-paced, high-pressure society, and the desire for a simpler, less stressful way of life.

I can't explain how much I miss this band, they shoulda been a stadium rock band, please get the red hair dye out and make a comeback. Declan always looked like he was from another world like a mix of hide (from Zilch), Scott Weiland and Bowie. also thinking of hide if you ever do make a comeback you should cover 'Electric Cucumber' I always thought it sounded like a Cyclefly song. PLEASE COMEBACK CYCLEFLY !!!!!!!
Mako DC Official
