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".

Default Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All work and no play makes another dull day
You're a car crash that's been going on for a year
You're a hurricane that hits when the sky should be clear
I, I got a gun and I'm into the weeds
You're everyone's fool and you're nobody's queen
When your first time your suicide king
There's no reason to fight you know you may be right
You know you may be right
You tell yourself another good lie
You keep singing your song you know you may be wrong
You know you may be wrong
There's a lot to be said for goodbye
Give me one good reason why you think we're okay
I'll give you another ten thousand why I'm walking away
I'm tired of fighting and I'm sick of the pain
Tired of the chapter when you're acting insane
And here we are at the end of the day
We go together like kids and cocaine
There's no reason to fight you know you may be right
You know you may be right
You tell yourself another good lie
You keep singing your song you know you may be wrong
You know you may be wrong
There's a lot to be said for goodbye
All work and no play makes another dull day
All work and no play makes another dull day
All work and no play makes another dull day
All work and no play makes another dull day
It's time to say goodbye
There's no reason to fight you know you may be right
You know you may be right
You tell yourself another good lie
You keep singing your song, you know you may be wrong
You know you may be wrong
There's a lot to be said for goodbye
Said for goodbye
There's a lot to be said goodbye
Said for goodbye
The lyrics to Default's song Goodbye talk about a relationship that's gone sour and has reached its end. The opening lines "All work and no play makes another dull day" suggests that the couple's relationship lacks excitement and joy. The song then goes on to compare their relationship to a car crash and a hurricane, emphasizing how turbulent and destructive it has been. The singer, who is supposedly the one singing the song, says he's got a gun and is going to the weed, indicating a state of frustration and defeat. He goes on to describe his partner as everyone's fool and nobody's queen, emphasizing her lack of specialness and how foolish she's been.
The lyrics then take on a more resigned tone when they say "There's no reason to fight, you know you may be right, you know you may be wrong, there's a lot to be said for goodbye." The song is ultimately about the need to let go of a relationship that's not working anymore. It's about accepting the inevitable and moving on, even if it's painful.

DEFAULT (2009) – GOODBYE (Traducción)
All work and no play makes another dull day
Tanto trabajar y nada de diversión hace de éste otro día aburrido
All work and no play makes another dull day
Tanto trabajar y nada de diversión hace de éste otro día aburrido
You're a car crash that's been going on for a year
Eres un accidente automovilístico que ya dura un año
You're a hurricane that hits when the skies should be clear
Eres un huracán que golpea cuando el cielo parece despejado
I, I got a gun and I'm into the weeds
Yo, tengo un pistola y estoy entre la maleza
You're everyone's fool and you're nobody's queen
Eres la tonta de todos y no eres la reina de nadie
A royal flush, turn your suicide king
Una escalera real (de la baraja), que se convierte en el rey suicida (rey de corazones de la baraja)
You know we go together like cigarettes and gasoline
Sabes que combinamos bien como los cigarrillos y la gasolina
There's no reason to fight
No hay razón para luchar
You know you may be right
Sabes que puede que tengas razón
You know you may be right
Sabes que puede que tengas razón
You tell yourself another good lie
Te cuentas otra buena mentira
You keep saying your song
Sigues diciendo tu canción
You know you may be wrong
Sabes que puede que estés equivocada
You know you may be wrong
Sabes que puede que estés equivocada
There's a lot to be said for goodbye
Hay mucho que decir a favor de la despedida
Give me one good reason why you think we're okay
Dame una buena razón por la que pienses que estamos bien
Give you another ten thousand why I'm walking away
Dame otras diez mil para que me vaya
I'm tired of fighting and sick of the pain
Estoy cansado de luchar y harto del dolor
Tired of the talking when you're acting insane
Cansado de hablar cuando actúas como una loca
And here we are at the end of the day
Y aquí estamos al final del día
We go together like kids and cocaine
Combinamos bien como los chavales y la cocaína
There's no reason to fight
No hay razón para luchar
You know you may be right
Sabes que puede que tengas razón
You know you may be right
Sabes que puede que tengas razón
You tell yourself another good lie
Te cuentas otra buena mentira
You keep saying your song
Sigues diciendo tu canción
You know you may be wrong
Sabes que puede que estés equivocada
You know you may be wrong
Sabes que puede que estés equivocada
There's a lot to be said for goodbye
Hay mucho que decir a favor de la despedida
All work and no play makes another dull day
Tanto trabajar y nada de diversión hace de éste otro día aburrido
All work and no play makes another dull day
Tanto trabajar y nada de diversión hace de éste otro día aburrido
All work and no play makes another dull day
Tanto trabajar y nada de diversión hace de éste otro día aburrido
All work and no play (It's time to say goodbye) makes another dull day
Tanto trabajar y nada de diversión (Es el momento de despedirse) hace de éste otro día aburrido
There's no reason to fight
No hay razón para luchar
You know you may be right
Sabes que puede que tengas razón
You know you may be right
Sabes que puede que tengas razón
You tell yourself another good lie
Te cuentas otra buena mentira
You keep saying your song
Sigues diciendo tu canción
You know you may be wrong
Sabes que puede que estés equivocada
You know you may be wrong
Sabes que puede que estés equivocada
There's a lot to be said for goodbye
Hay mucho que decir a favor de la despedida
Said for goodbye
Decir a favor de la despedida
There's a lot to be said goodbye
Hay mucho que decir a favor de la despedida
