Darvoset began about 3 years ago as a 5 PIECE BAND. Female vocals, synthesizer, guitar, bass, and drums. This version was often compared to a slightly angrier Duran Duran with Siousxie Sioux of the Banshees singing lead. Another voice comparison has been Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics, although the band feel the voice is beyond comparisons. Various members stuck around, while others came and went. Certain lineups achieved some popularity, opening for bands such as Berlin, Orgy, 30 Seconds To Mars, Flock Of Seagulls, Bow Wow Wow, etc.... Too many acts to remember. Due to the OTHER MEMBERS having personality conflicts, creative differences, and being busy with their other projects, it is down to KRISTINE ( vocals, lyrics ) and JAY ( keyboards/synths, songwriting ) remaining from the original lineup. With the recent addition of DREW ( drum machine, creation of beats ) and RANDY (effects, loops, samples, sequencer lines), Darvoset looks to go even more powerfully dark, exploiting the undertones that were always there in the music, but that can now be brought to the surface. Randy and Drew bring a more electronic, industrial influenced sound to the mix. But this in no way defines or categorizes what they do. They do not believe in being average, normal, or plain. Their look is as original, impressive, and lasting as is their one of a kind sound. Darvoset believes in becoming more than you currently are, and that is reflected in their sound and image. Reinvent and mold yourself into what you see fit, without regards to the status quo. Breaking musical and fashion “don’ts” are common for them. Darvoset has no silly self imposed “rules” to their creation of music. Their influences range from Metallica to the Bee Gees, The Beatles to Depeche Mode, and everything in between. The band never knows for sure what mood will come out of them, but one thing's for sure: Darvoset will continue to explore all forms of music, and will produce quality songs every "type" of music fan can find something to enjoy.
Dance With Me
Darvoset Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That I was to blame
For all your failures in entertainment
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
I wouldn't change at all
For once in my life
I guess it would be nice
Shake them up
Break it up
Entertaining them
Until it hits the charts Spinning down this time
I've fallen in the arms of depression
No way out this time
I've fallen in the arms of addiction
DANCE WITH ME, DANCE WITH ME DANCE WITH ME
DANCE FOR ME, DANCE FOR ME DANCE FOR ME
So the stage is set
It's the same old shit
The price we pay for entertaining
They turned down the lights
It's never been right
To pay to play our songs
For once in our lives
I guess it would be nice
If we could change what they're expecting Shake them up
Break it up
Entertaining them
Till we can't take no more Spinning down
this time
I've fallen in the arms of addiction
No way out this time
I've fallen in the arms of depression
The lyrics to Darvoset's song Dance With Me convey a message about the music industry and the toll it can take on artists. The first verse discusses the idea that an artist can be blamed for their own lack of success in entertainment, putting pressure on them to conform to expectations. The singer acknowledges that they wouldn't change who they are, but they long to be able to share inspiration with others. This suggests that they feel isolated and unsupported in the business, despite their efforts to stay true to themselves.
The second verse delves deeper into the frustrations of being an entertainer. The stage is set, but it's the same old script, and the performers must again pay to play their songs. The line "it's never been right" implies that there is something inherently unfair or corrupt about this system, and the repetition of "for once in our lives, I guess it would be nice" highlights the longing for change. However, despite the push for change, the energy put into trying to entertain and meet expectations has left the singer feeling consumed by addiction and depression.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a struggle to balance artistic integrity with the demands of the industry, and the personal toll this can take on a musician.
