With their latest release "Tarassis", dEMOTIONAL has proven themselves as a solid six-man-army worthy that place. dEMOTIONAL has become notorious for their energetic live shows and their way of combining modern guitar riffs and the two singers vocals. "Tarassis" is recorded, mixed & produced at Studio PH" by Pontus Hjelm (Dead By April), and it is the product of a young metalband that are experimenting with different genres and tempos, though at the same time keeping their distinctive sound that made them so popular. Just like the album "State: In Denial", the new album "Tarassis" went straight in to the national album chart. After spending a big amount of their time in 2014 writing new material and recording the new album, 2015 dEMOTIONAL successfully headed out as main support to Dead By April on "The Stronger Tour all over Europe.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the blink of an eye, everything changed, and not for the better
Art became business, there's no room for passion, talent doesn't matter
Boom goes everything we believed in, trends are dictating what's appealing
You're so out of touch, so 2008
Well, we don't give fuck, we just feed on your hate
Nothing can change who we are
Never have we felt this way, like the whole world is turning on us
We're doing what we believe in, the music will be succeeding
Back to back we're being cornered, one way out, we do what we must
A bunch of misfits, one against them all
Did not travel this whole way, just to see the world go insane
Fuck this hit or miss, well you got a boyfriend, I bet he doesn't kiss ya
Fuck this shit!
Never have we felt this way, like the whole world is turning on us
We're doing what we believe in, the music will be succeeding
Back to back we're being cornered, one way out, we do what we must
A bunch of misfits, one against them all
Never have we felt this way, like the whole world is turning on us
We're doing what we believe in, the music will be succeeding
Back to back we're being cornered, one way out, we do what we must
A bunch of misfits, one against them all
We'll be fighting till the end
Everything starts with this, my friend
Never have we felt this way, like the whole world is turning on us
We're doing what we believe in, the music will be succeeding
Back to back we're being cornered, one way out, we do what we must
A bunch of misfits, one against them all
Never have we felt this way, like the whole world is turning on us
We're doing what we believe in, the music will be succeeding
Back to back we're being cornered, one way out, we do what we must
A bunch of misfits, one against them all
The lyrics in "Cornered" by Demotional express a sense of frustration and disillusionment with how the music industry has changed. The opening lines, "In the blink of an eye, everything changed, and not for the better, Art became business, there's no room for passion, talent doesn't matter," highlight the disappointment felt by the band. They believe that the industry has become driven by trends and popularity rather than genuine talent and creativity.
The line, "You're so out of touch, so 2008, Well, we don't give a fuck, we just feed on your hate," reflects the band's defiance and refusal to conform to the expectations of others. Despite being deemed outdated, they find strength in going against the grain and utilizing the backlash they receive as motivation.
The lyrics suggest that the band feels like they are being attacked or marginalized by the world, with lines like "Never have we felt this way, like the whole world is turning on us." However, they remain dedicated to their music and believe it will ultimately lead to success, stating, "We're doing what we believe in, the music will be succeeding." They are determined to forge their own path, even if it means facing adversity and feeling like misfits.
The repeated chorus emphasizes the band's resilience and unity, as they stand together against the challenges they face. They won't back down and will fight till the end, regardless of the obstacles they encounter. The line, "Everything starts with this, my friend," reinforces that their music is their foundation and starting point for everything they do.
Overall, "Cornered" by Demotional captures the band's frustration with the changing music industry, their refusal to conform, and their determination to succeed despite feeling like outsiders. It conveys a sense of resilience and unity in the face of adversity, highlighting the power of their music as their driving force.
