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 ↴
You used up all I have each day
Whispers of where your head has laid
It's hard to ignore all the things that they say
The last time I give in
The next time I'm leaving
Sharin' trust wore thin
Each time you say you'll be home late
I pray to God that you'll behave
I miss the love that you've misplaced
My love not something to be played with
The last time I give in
The next time I'm leaving
Sharin' trust wore thin
I'm movin' on
You pushed me off
You pushed me off your secrets out
Don't pick me up
Don't pick me up
I'll climb out
The last time I give in
The next time I'm leaving
Sharin' trust wore thin
I'm movin' on
The lyrics of Default's song "Movin' On" seem to be about a person who is tired of being in a one-sided relationship where they are constantly giving and the other person is only taking. The first verse talks about how this person has taken all that the singer has to offer and how it's hard to ignore all the things that they say about the other person's questionable behavior. The second verse talks about how the other person's behavior has caused a loss of trust and how the singer misses the love that they used to have.
The chorus of the song, "The last time I give in, the next time I'm leaving, sharin' trust wore thin, I'm movin' on," indicates that the singer has had enough and is ready to move on from the unstable relationship. The bridge of the song talks about how the other person has pushed the singer away and how their secrets are out. The singer is making it clear that they won't be picked up again and that they are going to climb out.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be about someone who has reached their limit in a relationship that is not fulfilling and is ready to move on to something better.
