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.
Rapture
Full Scale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And fuck up your sons
And pray for religion
Cause judgment days coming
You better get ready
Cause Jesus is coming
And he's gonna be so pissed off
Slipping, it's slipping
Suck it down
So pay all your taxes,
Buy color T.V's
And pray for deliverance
Cause doomsday is coming
Humanity dies as community cries
Yes the worlds on a slide
My pride?
I tried
No begging please
We just spread the disease it's the rapture
It's the rapture
Times running out
Here it comes, holy cow!
It's the rapture
It's the rapture
So relax
Sit back
Come to understand
Your place in this chaos is mine
To decide
So hide
Your face when you come near me
Eat
And then shit
And eat
Then shit some more
Eat some more
Breed
Sow seed
And need
Everything I've got for you
Get a grip on this
It feels so good for me
When you stroke it like that
You little bitch don't look at me
Get it you'll get it
The lyrics to Full Scale's song "Rapture" are a commentary on the state of the world and the impending "judgment day" or "doomsday" that will result in the rapture - a biblical event in which believers are taken up to heaven while the non-believers are left behind to suffer. The lyrics urge the listener to prepare for this event by praying and changing their ways, but ultimately suggest that it may be too late. The lines "lock up your daughters and fuck up your sons" and "suck it down" suggest a sense of moral decay and hedonism, while the lines "my pride? I tried" express a sense of resignation in the face of impending doom.
The lyrics also feature a sense of detachment and nihilism, with the repeated refrain of "it's the rapture" suggesting a sense of inevitability and hopelessness. The lines "your place in this chaos is mine to decide" and "you little bitch don't look at me" suggest a sense of powerlessness and aggression, with the singer taking control and asserting their dominance in the face of the impending end of the world.
Overall, "Rapture" is a dark and complex exploration of themes of morality, religion, and powerlessness in the face of the apocalypse.

So lock up your daughters
Prepare to protect your daughters as the world is getting dangerous

Allow your sons to be wild and reckless
And pray for religion
Hope that religion can offer some guidance and protection
Cause judgment days coming
Prepare for the arrival of the day of reckoning
You better get ready
Start preparing yourself mentally and emotionally

Prepare for the arrival of the Son of God
And he's gonna be so pissed off

When he sees the state of the world
Jesus will be angered by the current condition of Earth

The world is deteriorating and falling apart
Suck it down
Endure the harsh conditions that are coming
So pay all your taxes,
Fulfill your obligations and responsibilities
Buy color T.V's
Indulge in luxuries and material possessions
And pray for deliverance

The world is deteriorating rapidly
My pride?
What is there to be proud of in this moment?
I tried
I did what I could to prevent this
No begging please
Do not plead for mercy or forgiveness
We just spread the disease it's the rapture
We are contributing to the destruction of the world
Times running out
The end is near
Here it comes, holy cow!
The upcoming event is going to be catastrophic
So relax
Be calm and patient
Sit back
Take a step back and observe what's happening
Come to understand
Gain a full comprehension of the situation
Your place in this chaos is mine
There is nothing you can do to improve the situation
To decide
I will decide what happens
So hide
Protect yourself
Your face when you come near me
Do not expose yourself to danger
Eat
Consume what you can before the end
And then shit
Excrete what you consumed
And eat
Consume again to sustain yourself
Then shit some more
Excrete once more
Eat some more
Continue to consume to stay alive
Breed
Reproduce to ensure the survival of the species
Sow seed
Contribute to the creation of new life
And need
We all have necessities that need to be fulfilled
Everything I've got for you
I will provide what you need to survive
Get a grip on this
Understand the gravity of the situation
It feels so good for me
The thought of the impending doom brings me pleasure
When you stroke it like that
When the collapse of society happens just as I predicted
You little bitch don't look at me
Do not blame me for the chaos, it is not my fault
Get it you'll get it
You will eventually realize what I am saying
