Harnessing a sound that utilizes elements of electro, pop, industrial and ambient with an at times quirky sense of addictive rhythm, Fektion Fekler has been pushing the envelope of electronic music for over a decade now. Their sound is danceable, yet, is music that one can dance to as much with the heart as one does with their feet, the sound can not really be categorized at all. There are simply some bands that can only be labeled as themselves and that is one of the rarest honors in this age of often-copycat music.
Brothers John and Robert Bustamante formed Fektion Fekler in 1989. They have appeared on many compilations including the first of the Elektrauma series. They released a full-length cassette entitled Distressed Tension on SPH Records and an EP called Soul Assassin on Bright Green Records. After many years of hiding out, Fektion Fekler finally reappeared in early '96 with more compilation work, and the long-awaited debut CD on Pendragon Records, From Here to Heaven which was released to critical acclaim both domestically and internationally, a CD composed of more than a decade of work.
Fektion Fekler returned in late 1998 with their second album, Kling Klang Bedlam, which traded many of the hardcore industrial dance for more melodic, layered songs detailing love, loss, and in the end hope and energy. From the beautiful ballads like Unconditional Surrender and Maker Make Believe to ultra energetic dance floor fillers like Dowser That Couldn't Dowse and Limpic, the CD is one of those few with no filler at all. Every song lends itself to one another, making a sonic tapestry of sound with no equal in both emotion and melody. And, unlike a lot of electro and industrial groups put there, they make no sacrifice of the fun and playful elements in their sound. In 2000 Robert signed with ArtofFact Records and released the lone gem, Moksha A People Undone with new member Sean Whitehead handling the vocal duties A People Undone again flew past its peers wth beautiful melodies, dance floor killers and hard industrial songs would make this an instant classic. After A People Undone Fektion Fekler seemed to have dissappeared from the scene altogether. In 2004 Fektion Fekler resurfaced as the premier signing to Static Sky Records in the US and Black Flames Records in Europe. It seemed that Fektion Fekler had a pleathra of new material that would again challenge the "industrial scene". Now, with new material complete and ready to land on the electronic audience with a mass amount of cross-appeal, Fektion Fekler is back with a vengeance after all these years! Now with a style incorporating newfound acoustic elements, the sound of Fektion Fekler has gone even further ahead of its peers. Songs for the dance floors, and songs for the heart, Fektion Fekler has something to offer anyone, from Depeche Mode fans to New Wave fans to Industrial fans, and beyond. Their sound is pure addiction and energy!
Now comes Synthcere Records, scheduled to release a rarities album, Best of Fektion Fekler , side project (Womb Dabbler) and the new Fektion Fekler album. Fektion Fekler still keeps pushing the bouindaries of Electronic music. With Sean Whitehead and Tom Palmer signed on as a full band members, Fektion Fekler seem to have come full circle at full speed. Fektion Fekler is what they are. Following a light. Pure, sincere and full of creativity it's no wonder Fektion Fekler still remains a respected band in the Industrial genre. Only Heaven can help us now!
It's Over
Fektion Fekler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all or none
Children fall
Who will come
Look around
It's a brand new day
One more step
One more day
That's not true, it's only you
She says that i don't need her
That's not true, it's only you
Baby it's you
And i won't deny it's true
Stepped into a brand new day
Let my mind
Waste away
I turn around
And who do i see
Jesus christ next to me
She says that i'm so confused
That's not true, it's only you
She says that i'm so infused
That's so true, it's me or you
You remember
Spitting in my face
Oh so long
And you came to me
On a broken night
I'll see
You remember
Spitting in my face
Oh so long
And you came to me
On a broken sea
I'll find
In this world
It's all or none
Children fall
Who will come
Let my heart lead the way
One less step, one less day
She says that i
Don't know her
That's not true, it's only you
She says that i
Don't need her
That's not true, it's only you
Baby it's you
And i won't deny it's true
The lyrics of Fektion Fekler's song "It's Over" have a deep and profound meaning. The song starts by saying that in this world, it's all or none, implying that people either succeed or fail, and it's up to them to decide their fate. The next line talks about children falling, which could either refer to the physical or emotional fall they experience. The lines highlight the importance of having someone to hold onto in times of need.
The next stanza talks about how every day is a new day, and we need to take one more step, one more day and keep moving forward. The next few lines discuss how the singer's partner is trying to push him away by saying that he doesn't know her, but he knows that it's only her who he needs. The lines "'Baby, it's you/And I won't deny it's true'" show that the singer is in love with her and cannot deny her presence in his life.
The next stanza talks about how the singer wants to let his mind waste away and forget about everything but then turns around and finds Jesus Christ next to him. It is a metaphor that helps him find some peace and guidance. The next few lines show that the partner is confused and doesn't know what she wants, and the situation is infusing (merging) the two of them. The lines "'You remember/Spitting in my face/Oh so long/And you came to me/On a broken night/I'll see'" show that the partner has hurt him in the past, but he's willing to forgive and move forward. The final two stanzas highlight the importance of having someone in life and taking every day one step at a time.

In this world
It's a harsh world out there
It's all or none
It's a world where you either win or lose
Children fall
There are innocent casualties
Who will come
Who will help them?
Look around
Observe your surroundings
It's a brand new day
It's a fresh start
One more step
One small progress
One more day
Another chance at life
She says that i don't know her
She thinks I misunderstand her
That's not true, it's only you
But it's actually her who doesn't understand me
She says that i don't need her
She thinks I don't appreciate her
That's not true, it's only you
But it's actually her who doesn't appreciate me
Baby it's you
It's her who I love
And i won't deny it's true
I won't hide my feelings for her
Stepped into a brand new day
Embracing the start of a new chapter
Let my mind
Allow myself
Waste away
To relax and think freely
I turn around
I look back
And who do i see
I see Jesus beside me
She says that i'm so confused
She thinks I'm lost
That's not true, it's only you
But it's just her causing my confusion
She says that i'm so infused
She thinks I'm affected by something
That's so true, it's me or you
But it's true, I'm either affected by her or I need to leave
You remember
Do you recall?
Spitting in my face
Treating me disrespectfully
Oh so long
For too long
And you came to me
And you approached me
On a broken night
During a troubled time
I'll see
I'll find a solution
You remember
Do you recall?
Spitting in my face
Treating me disrespectfully
Oh so long
For too long
And you came to me
And you approached me
On a broken sea
During rough waters
I'll find
I'll discover a way
Let my heart lead the way
Following my intuition
One less step, one less day
Making slow but steady progress
She says that i don't know her
She critiques my understanding of her
That's not true, it's only you
But it's her who doesn't understand me
She says that i don't need her
She fears I'll abandon her
That's not true, it's only you
But it's her who is unable to commit to the relationship
Baby it's you
She's the one I want
And i won't deny it's true
I won't hide my feelings for her
