Though originally from Seattle, Washington, they eventually moved to lead singer Trevor Hurst's native Canada, where they have been the most successful. Notable singles include "Wicked", "Home", "Sparkle and Shine" and "You Don't Know What It's Like".

The band was formed around 1992, after Hurst answered an ad placed by Tom Ferriss (formerly of Moev) in a Seattle-area newspaper. The band released a 5-song EP called "Purge" before their first LP, "Affliction" came out to critical acclaim and moderate commercial success in Canada.

Though it received mixed reviews, their second LP, The Devil You Know, has been the band's greatest commercial success to date. Produced by veteran producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers), the album features a more mainstream sound than "Affliction." After their success with "The Devil You Know," the band returned to the studio with another veteran producer, Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue), to create their third LP, which became "Brand New History."

While "Brand New History" was a moderate commercial success, it received mixed critical reviews. Following the release of the album's first single in 2001, "Make It Right," the band went on hiatus. During the hiatus, Trevor Hurst started a new band called "Hurst". However, in January 2007, the band got back together to tour with Hinder across Canada and most recently, with Three Days Grace and Seether. Their independently-released fourth LP, "Ignite," came out on January 15, 2008.

Trevor Hurst (vocals)

All That You Are
Econoline Crush Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I said it, I meant it
I'm not really demented
I'm just saying it's been said again and again
Not that I'm all that grounded
I'm already dumbfounded
I'm a liar believe me, baby

Well it's all that you are

You're just one shining star
Well that's all that you are

Maybe everything's changed
And maybe I stayed the same
What does it matter to me now, anyway
If I ever regret it
If I'm ever repentant
Karma sings and we'll dance the dance, baby

Well that's all that you are
Your just one shining star
Well it's all that you are
You're just one shining star

Do do do do yeah yeah yeah (x3)

If I said it, I meant it
I'm not really demented
I'm just saying it's been said again and again
Not that I'm all that grounded
I'm already dumbfounded
I'm a liar believe me, baby

Well it's all that you are
You're just one shining star
Well it's all that you are
You're just one shining star
(It's all that you are)

Well it's all that you are
You're just one shining star

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Econoline Crush's song All That You Are is about the realization that a person is just a small part of the universe, just one shining star among many others. The singer tries to acknowledge their flaws and their past mistakes, without getting stuck in regretting them – rather, they want to move on and enjoy the moment. The singer admits that they have lied before, and they don't feel grounded, yet they insist that they meant what they have said. The chorus reassures the listener that they are just a shining star, without any need to be more or less than that.

The song can be seen as a reminder of humility and acceptance, as well as an encouragement to let go of the past and embrace the present. It acknowledges that mistakes will be made along the way, but acceptance of these mistakes and moving forward from them is what's important.
