Full Scale broke up in late 2005, their final show was played in Madison, Wisconsin. Ezekiel Ox is now the front man for another Australian band, Mammal (http://www.mammaltheband.com); while Robkaay played for Sunk Loto until they broke up in mid 2007. Robkaay has gone on to write a series of books called Robkaay Journals (http://www.robkaay.com).
On December 4 2009, the reformation of Full Scale was announced in the wake of Mammal breaking up. The annoucement was initially made by a minimalist post on the bands MySpace page which had long been quiet, stating "Full Scale 2010: Ready?". This annoucement was then shortly followed by reformation details on many music news websites.[11] The reformed lineup is believed to be made up of Ezekiel Ox, Crutey, Tristan Ross and former touring bassist Ben Brennan.
On September 6 2010, they had this press release; Hey Full Scale Revolution Fans and Friends, After a fantastic year playing around Australia again, Full Scale Revolution (formerly Full Scale Deflection and Full Scale) will be disbanding in it's current form. It was a lot of fun airing out the old songs (all the way back to Symptoms of Chaos!) and we know from watching the crowds that you guys enjoyed it. Thanks to all the bands we played with, and Saltar Hype for booking the shows. Will we be back? With a new name? New songs? Never say never. Till next time, we were Full Scale Revolution.
Manifesto
Full Scale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's P.H neutral
Change this?
We decide our future
You can't take
What was never yours
This manifesto opens minds
On every shore
Let go
Here's the thoughts that'll change your mind
Let go
Get the feeling that you're running out of time?
Let go
Rub it fast and it feels sublime
Because nothing's gained while you're standing in line
This could be
The mindset
That changes
The world
This could be
Revolution
That changes
The world
This won't be getting old
These thoughts can't be controlled
This can't be bought or sold
This floor will be moving
Prez says "Eat your veggies"
A death bed
To rest your head in
As young men murder children
In the name of the father
And the son
And oil
This floor will move
This is the first day of the rest of your life
The lyrics of Full Scale's song Manifesto are a call to action for people to think independently and take control of their lives. The opening lines, "Test this, It's P.H neutral, Change this? We decide our future" suggest that there are no right or wrong answers and that individuals have the power to shape their destiny. The second verse, "Let go, Here's the thoughts that'll change your mind, Get the feeling that you're running out of time?" encourages people to free themselves from societal pressures and take action before it's too late. The lyrics "This could be the mindset that changes the world, This could be revolution that changes the world" imply that small individual actions can create a larger movement for societal change. The closing lyrics, "This floor will move" suggests that change is inevitable and that the status quo will eventually shift.
The lyrics also tackle political issues such as war, oil, and the global economic system. The lyrics, "Prez says 'Eat your veggies', A death bed, To rest your head in, As young men murder children, In the name of the father, And the son, And oil" criticize politicians for their superficiality and the injustice and brutality of war, while also questioning the power of organized religion to inspire warfare. The lyrics "This won't be getting old, These thoughts can't be controlled, This can't be bought or sold" suggest the importance of independent thinking and a resistance to conformity and brainwashing.
