Following up on the success of their Divebomb Bootcamp Series re-release last year entitled, Victim Of Thought, ENERTIA returns with their 5th album and first of new material in a decade. Piece Of The Factory (DIVE083), will be released via Divebomb Records on July 17th, 2015.
After working practically non-stop for eleven years, which included rehearsing 2-3 times a week, 800+ shows in 20+ states and well over 10,000 CDs sold on six continents, upstate New York pure American Metal band, ENERTIA was at a crossroads. After spending in excess of $25k recording their fourth album, Force, with producer, Neil Kernon, the band had finally exhausted their bank account and didn't have the money or resources to properly record their fifth album. It was time for ENERTIA to regroup.
Fast forward to 2007, after three productive years laying the groundwork for what would become their much anticipated new album everything had almost disastrously ground to a halt, that is, until bassist, Joe Paciolla, made up his mind that these recordings had to be completed no matter the cost. In 2011, the band fortuitously happened upon a great studio and in it the remarkable engineer/producer, Tim Lynch, who was enlisted to help guide ENERTIA through the completion of the album.
Three additional years of hard work and several hundred hours were spent at The Recording Company in Esperance, NY, where ENERTIA created the most diverse, infectious and prolific album of the band’s lengthy career, Piece Of The Factory.
ENERTIA is now almost two decades in from the release of their debut EP, Law Of Three, and after years of hard work and perseverance it would seem this could their end up being their swan song. Could Piece Of The Factory be ENERTIA’s farewell, only time will tell, but delivering the fans an album this powerful indicates they most definitely plan on going out with the biggest bang of their nearly twenty year career.

You Know
Enertia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a little pain is good for the soul
Well, I'm standing in the fire
All my will desire
Caught between two middles
And still alone
Throughout all the changes
Moves and rearranges
And still alone
Lot that you know
Lot that you know
Never thinking, only drinking in the sorrow
No tomorrow, its your end
I don't know
I don't know
But you know
So in I go never thinking its your end
I can't contain all this fire
I can't control this desire
But you know
Lot that you know
You fall, I crawl and never die
So long, say one last good-bye
Say one last good-bye
Say one last good-bye
I'll be you...
But you know
But you know
But you know
Lot that you know
The lyrics of Enertia's song You Know appear to address the idea of self-destruction and the struggle to find a way out of damaging cycles. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been told that pain is good for the soul, implying a belief that suffering is necessary or perhaps even desirable for personal growth. However, the subsequent lines reveal that the singer is caught between opposing forces and still feels alone. This seems to suggest that despite the external changes and internal turmoil that the singer is experiencing, they are still struggling to find a sense of connection or community. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Lot that you know," seeming to emphasize the singer's sense of being misunderstood or underestimated by others.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly chaotic, suggesting a loss of control on the part of the singer. The lines "Never thinking, only drinking in the sorrow / No tomorrow, it's your end" emphasize a sense of hopelessness and despair. However, the repeated phrase "But you know" implies that there is still someone or something that understands the singer's experience, even if it is not immediately apparent.
Overall, You Know seems to grapple with the idea of trying to change oneself while feeling trapped in destructive patterns. The repeated refrain "Lot that you know" suggests a sense of frustration with others who may not understand the singer's struggle, while also hinting at the possibility that there is more to the singer's experience than meets the eye.
Line by Line Meaning
Time and time again, feel I've been told
I have been advised many times over
Just a little pain is good for the soul
Suffering through minor pains is necessary for spiritual growth
Well, I'm standing in the fire
I am in a dire situation
All my will desire
I strongly desire to overcome this situation
Caught between two middles
I am in a dilemma
And still alone
I am facing this dilemma by myself
Throughout all the changes
Despite undergoing multiple changes
Moves and rearranges
In different situations and various circumstances
Lost my mind in stages
I have gradually become confused and disoriented
And still alone
Still grappling with my issues by myself
Lot that you know
You are not aware of the extent of my struggles
Never thinking, only drinking in the sorrow
Indulging in despair instead of finding a solution
No tomorrow, its your end
There seems to be no way out of this situation, my future is uncertain
I don't know
I am unsure
But you know
But you seem to have answers
So in I go never thinking its your end
I keep going despite feeling like it might be futile
I can't contain all this fire
I am overwhelmed with emotions and burning with passion
I can't control this desire
I am unable to rein in my impulses
But you know
You seem to be able to manage and succeed
You fall, I crawl and never die
Even as you fall, I keep clawing and struggling to survive
So long, say one last good-bye
It's time to say farewell
I'll be you...
I will become like you
But you know
But you have the knowledge and experience to guide me
Lot that you know
There is so much that you know that I do not

Lyrics
[Verse 1: 3D]
Recollect me darling, raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos, four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly, I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure, then you can't inhale clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying, I fit nearly
Surrounds me, though I get lonely slowly
[Chorus: 3D]
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly, slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
[Verse 2: 3D]
In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest, dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Which you found my irritant's itching
Been here before, been here forever
[Chorus: 3D]
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
[Verse 3: 3D]
I make no sound in my eider-down
Awake I lie in the morning's blue
Room is still, my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero, see me stall
I bounce off walls, lose my footing, and fall
Can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze, see me on all fours
It's been a long time
[Interlude: 3D]
She comes
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
X
[Outro: 3D]
I caught your radio waves
I caught your radio waves
With a tin can and string
Say you string me along
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes

This whole album embodies anxiety, claustrofobia, withdrawal and insomnia... and I like it.
