Whether in music, multimedia, or visual arts, Garrick and Chris have been chasing a muse of one form or another since meeting in junior high school in the mid-1980s. From early musical influences including David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Roxy Music, Einstürzende Neubauten, Kraftwerk, Public Image Limited, Ministry, and Duran Duran, through Wax Trax-era industrial, trans-Atlantic electronica, drum-n-bass, post-punk, post-post punk, and several iterations of 'indie rock', to current favorites such as The Faint, Interpol, Muse, Alpinestars, Ladytron, Fischerspooner, LCD Soundsystem, Editors, and Emilie Simon, through orchestral music, and Eastern-influenced artists like Niyaz, Silk Road Ensemble, Talvin Singh, Natacha Atlas, and Bollywood film soundtracks, a shared love of music and art that transcends boundaries of genre and medium has seen the duo through a number of years, lineup changes, and band names before being reincarnated as Doll Factory, joined by Jason Bazinet on drums and Mars Saxman on keyboards, in the late 1990s.
After releasing their "Premonition" E.P. in late 1999, Doll Factory signed to independent New York based label Neue Asthetik records, a label known for releases from artists including Judith, The Shroud, Faith and the Muse, Das Ich, and more, releasing their debut full-length disc, 'Weightless', in early 2003. Check out 'Weightless', and be on the lookout for a follow-up release and supporting tour dates coming in 2007.
Weightless
Doll Factory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It'll suck me in
Weightless
I'm a bridge for you I'm a bridge for you
Suspension
Weightless
It'll suck me in
Weightless
I'm a bridge for you I'm a bridge for you
Suspension
Weightless
It's here she said
Around the bend she said
From the arbor to the ash bin I fell
I believed in you
Yes I believed in you
But my footing just never held
It never had
I never felt
It never had
I never felt
It never had
I never felt
It never had
I never felt
Weightless
Drunk on the swill of a hopeful mind
It'll rip me out
Weightless
A bone yard for the kicking tongues
In a forked flicker
Weightless
See the girls down there
Their playthings tumble
These things all need a place to drop
Don't believe in it
Like I believed in it
The sinking never stops
It never had
I never felt
It never had
I never felt
It never had
I never felt
It never had
I never felt
Weightless
The Doll Factory's song "Weightless" explores the theme of the loss of control and the feeling of being powerless in the face of uncertainty. The lyrics express a sense of being pulled into something, perhaps a situation or a state of mind, that is beyond one's control. The line "Fed on the shavings of a carved hole It'll suck me in Weightless" suggests a feeling of being trapped, helpless, and powerless to resist. The repeated use of the term "weightless" further emphasizes the sense of being adrift, disconnected, and powerless.
The song also speaks to the uncertainty and ambiguity of life. The lines "It's here she said Around the bend she said From the arbor to the ash bin I fell" suggest a sudden change in circumstances, a descent into darkness or chaos. Similarly, the lines "Drunk on the swill of a hopeful mind It'll rip me out" suggest that there is a risk inherent in hoping for something better, something that may be beyond one's grasp. The song also speaks to the desperation and pain of trying to hold onto a belief or a dream that is slowly slipping away: "I believed in you Yes, I believed in you But my footing just never held."
Overall, "Weightless" is a haunting, melancholy song that captures the feeling of being lost, disconnected, and powerless in a world that is often uncertain and unpredictable.
