Default were initially discovered by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. Impressed by the band, Kroeger aided Default wherever possible by taking them on tours, co-writing songs, and producing material. Default have since progressively distanced themselves from Kroeger's influence over the years.
Default's hit single "Deny" was featured in the 2003 iteration of EA Sports' NHL video game series which help them gain even further exposure. Having already amassed an adequate fan base and frequent radio airplay in their native Canada, they managed to gain popularity in the United States for their hit singles "Wasting My Time" and "Deny" from their first album The Fallout. Default's first and second albums were produced with the help of Chad Kroeger, who would later reduce his involvement by only co-writing one song for their third album "One Thing Remains". Despite the significant success of the singles from The Fallout, Their follow-up albums Elocation and One Thing Remains failed to gain the same amount of popularity and radio airplay in the United States as their debut. Elocation was mostly successful for their hit single "(Taking My) Life Away" which was played extensively on the radio and television in Canada. Their second single from "Elocation" was "Throw It All Away", which was then followed by "All She Wrote". The single "Count On Me" from their third album One Thing Remains was a hit on Canadian radio before the album was even released. The Band also had their song "The Memory Will Never Die" featured on WWE's Wrestlemania.
Default's fourth album, which was originally planned to be released in 2007, had suffered significant delays and setbacks due to issues with their record label TVT, which eventually went bankrupt and was sold to an independent label known as The Orchard. Back on a new label, Default's fourth album "Comes and Goes" to be released in September 2009 via EMI Canada Records, with the first single being "All Over Me".

Fascination
Default Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Denying your conscience
Afraid to give up yourself
You live in your own world
Keeping your distance
We all have a story to tell
Maybe it's time you give it to me
You've got something inside
What ya tryin' to hide?
Let me in your isolation
You've got something to show
Close your eyes and let go
Let me in your fascination
The reason you're faking
The road that you're taking
You swore you'd never go down again
If there's no one to trust in
Then all is for nothing
Can you live with that 'til the end?
Maybe it's time I give up on you
[Chorus]
I have tried so long to make you feel like you have a home
But I want you to know that you don't have to go through this alone
Open your soul, you need to let go
I only wanna show you what you've never known
[Chorus]
The song "Fascination" by Default speaks about someone who is troubled and isolated, afraid to open up to anyone, and living in their own world. The lyrics convey the message that everyone has a story to tell and the singer encourages the person to share with them. The chorus begs the question of what the individual is trying to hide and urges them to let go of their fears and show their true self. The song is emotional and powerful, conveying the message that no one should have to go through life alone, and that it's important to trust and connect with others.
The lyrics of "Fascination" may relate to Default's own story. The band members experienced personal struggles and homelessness before forming the band, so the message of the song may have been inspired by their own life experiences. The song is also an example of post-grunge rock, as it embodies the introspective and emotional characteristics typical of that genre. It was released in 2003 and received considerable airplay on rock radio stations across North America.

Can you live with that 'til the end?
Are you prepared to live a life of loneliness and secrecy right up until the end?
Maybe it's time I give up on you
Perhaps it's time to accept that you will never come around and that I should move on.
I have tried so long to make you feel like you have a home
I have tried for an extended period to make you feel comfortable and accepted like family.
But I want you to know that you don't have to go through this alone
You must realize that you do not have to face life's challenges alone.
Open your soul, you need to let go
You must free yourself from the past and any emotional baggage and begin to live authentically.
I only wanna show you what you've never known
I want to expose you to experiences and situations that will teach you things you've never learned before.

DEFAULT (2009) – FASCINATION (Traducción)
Caught up in silence
Atrapado en el silencio
Denying your conscience
Negando a tu conciencia
Afraid to give up yourself
Asustado de darte por vencido
You live in your own world
Vives en tu propio mundo
Keeping your distance
Mantienes las distancias
We all have a story to tell
Todos tenemos una historia que contar
Maybe it's time you give it to me
Quizás es el momento de que me la confíes
You've got something inside
Tienes algo en tu interior
What ya trying to hide?
¿Qué tratas de ocultar?
Let me in your isolation
Déjame entrar en tu aislamiento
You've got something to show
Tienes algo que mostrar
Close your eyes and let go
Cierra los ojos y déjalo salir
Let me in your fascination
Déjame entrar en tu fascinación
The reason you're faking
La razón por la que estás fingiendo
The road that you've taken
El camino que has tomado
You swore you'd never go down again
Juraste que nunca te hundirías de nuevo
If there's no one to trust in
Si no hay nadie en quien confíar
Then all is for nothing
Entonces todo esto es para nada
Can you live with that 'til the end?
¿Puedes convivir con ello hasta el final?
Maybe it's time I give up on you
Quizás es el momento de perder la esperanza contigo
You've got something inside
Tienes algo en tu interior
What ya trying to hide?
¿Qué tratas de ocultar?
Let me in your isolation
Déjame entrar en tu aislamiento
You've got something to show
Tienes algo que mostrar
Close your eyes and let go
Cierra los ojos y déjalo salir
Let me in your fascination
Déjame entrar en tu fascinación
I, Ive tried
Yo, lo he intentado
So long
Tanto tiempo
To make you feel like you have a home
Hacerte sentir como en casa
But I
Pero yo
want you to know
Quiero que sepas
That you don't have to go through this alone
Que no tienes que pasar por esto solo
Open your soul
Abre tu alma
You need to let go
Necesitas dejarlo salir
I only wanna show you what you've never known
Sólo quiero mostrarte lo que nunca has conocido
You've got something inside
Tienes algo en tu interior
What ya trying to hide?
¿Qué tratas de ocultar?
Let me in your isolation
Déjame entrar en tu aislamiento
You've got something to show
Tienes algo que mostrar
Close your eyes and let go
Cierra los ojos y déjalo salir
Let me in your fascination
Déjame entrar en tu fascinación
You've got something inside
Tienes algo en tu interior
What ya trying to hide?
¿Qué tratas de ocultar?
Let me in your isolation
Déjame entrar en tu aislamiento
You've got something to show
Tienes algo que mostrar
Close your eyes and let go
Cierra los ojos y déjalo salir
Let me in your fascination
Déjame entrar en tu fascinación
