The explosive Sydney five piece rocketed into existence in 2003 with all the passion and determination that has propelled them to the very top of their country's heavy music scene. Later that year the band released their debut album, 'Severance' which was voted by listeners of high rating radio station Triple J as Number One Australian Metal Album of that same year. Within a short time they were tearing up the nations highways and skyways sharing the stage with some of the world's most high profile metal acts. Before long, the legendary American label "Metal Blade Records" caught site of the band and scooped them up for a world wide release for 'Severance'. Praise for Severance poured in, and as a result they scored a highly coveted spot with Californian metallers Otep for a North American tour and for six weeks they raged and rampaged across the USA gaining a multitude of fans along the way making Daysend an internationally recognised metal band.

In 2007 Daysend broadened their sonic palate and released their second album 'The Warning'. With a multitude of experience and renewed vigor, the band have continued to dominate with their album again being voted No 1 best Australian Metal Album of 2007 by Triple J listeners. The album was released in New Zealand in 2008 and a subsequent tour followed.

Come 2010 Daysend unleash beast number three upon the world – 'Within The Eye Of Chaos' – Released through Stomp in Australia on February 19th . With a full national tour starting on February 13th. This album promises to be Daysend’s most uncompromising and unrelenting album to date. Never bowing to trends and fads, Daysend are a real metal band for real metal fans...

Daysend Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For every word I write
There's a thousand more
(I need to get it working again)

And these callouses on my tongue
Keep bleeding

I've got a million memories

And no way to release them
It's a disgraceful life this time

I have the answer to your questions

It's just you don't understand
That these answers aren't what you want

I keep waiting for someone
To tell me that it's a dream
(All I want to do is wake up)

A forced meaning to something
That I know is a lie

So save your lies, for someone
Who doesn't know the truth of your actions

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daysend's song "Questions" convey a sense of frustration and longing for understanding. The first stanza speaks to the difficulty of putting one's thoughts and feelings into words, and the physical toll it can take on a person. The use of the word "callouses" implies a repeated, painful effort to express oneself. The second stanza expresses a similar sentiment, except here the focus is on the inability to let go of memories or emotions. The phrase "disgraceful life this time" suggests a feeling of hopelessness or despair.

The chorus of the song is the most poignant, as the singer claims to have the answers to the questions posed by others, but acknowledges that those answers may not be what the questioner wants to hear. This can be interpreted in a variety of ways--perhaps the singer has a different perspective or experience than the listener, or perhaps the truth is simply difficult or uncomfortable. The final stanza is a plea to be left alone with the truth, rather than being placated with lies or half-truths.

Line by Line Meaning

For every word I write
As I pour my thoughts into words, I realize there's so much more left to say

There's a thousand more
I feel I haven't expressed everything I want to say, and there's a lot more to share

(I need to get it working again)
I must rekindle my creativity and find the inspiration to write once more

And these callouses on my tongue
My words have come at a price, and my tongue bears the scars of my struggles

Keep bleeding
The pain and struggles of my artistic expression continue, unceasingly

I've got a million memories
I have so much to share, so much of my past that I want to explore and express

And no way to release them
I feel confined and unable to fully express myself and my memories

It's a disgraceful life this time
My current state of mind and my struggle to express myself feels shameful and discouraging

I have the answer to your questions
I know the answers to your questions, but they may not be what you expect or want to hear

It's just you don't understand
I realize that you may not comprehend what I'm saying or where I'm coming from

That these answers aren't what you want
I understand that my responses might not be what you're looking for or hoping to hear

I keep waiting for someone
I yearn for someone to recognize and acknowledge my struggles and give me hope

To tell me that it's a dream
I want someone to reassure me that this is all just a nightmare and will end soon

(All I want to do is wake up)
I feel trapped in this creative block and want to break free from it

A forced meaning to something
I feel like I'm trying too hard to find meaning in my writing, and it's not coming naturally

That I know is a lie
I'm starting to doubt the authenticity of my work and wonder if it's all a lie

So save your lies, for someone
I don't want to hear false encouragement or platitudes, and I'm looking for genuine feedback

Who doesn't know the truth of your actions
I can see through insincerity, and I want feedback from someone who truly understands my situation and struggles
