A lot can be said about a band who plays more than 100 shows in the first 6 months of their existence. Especially in a day and age where all it takes for certain bands to "make it" is to create a MySpace profile with glossy promo photos and tens of thousands of "fans". GRAVE MAKER is a band who blasted out of the gate, without help from anyone. No label support, no management, and no booking agent. Bailey, bassist and member of Canadian heavy hitters FIGURE FOUR (Solid State Records) comments "The chemistry of GRAVE MAKER works well because we are a group of friends who all share similar ideas about we want to do with our lives and where we want to go with the band. We're just trying to escape the every day 9-5 jobs we've all worked and have the experiences that only ever seem to come from being on tour." GRAVE MAKER may be a new band, but the members have grown up in the hardcore scene. Look for the North West natives in your town before the end of 2008 supporting their debut "Bury Me At Sea". The full length effort was produced by Roger Camero (THE WARRIORS, NO MOTIV) and features guests including Andrew Neufeld of COMEBACK KID and Rick Jimenez of THIS IS HELL and SOLDIERS. Look for it in stores on July 22nd, 2008.
Currently signed to Victory with a new album under their belt, Ghosts Among Men.
Ghosts Among Men
Grave Maker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dead to their world, we don't belong.
Transparent life is all we know.
We have no home to call our own.
Nothing to lose, nothing to fear.
We are ready to disappear.
Ghosts among men.
We are ghosts among men.
The lyrics of Grave Maker's song Ghosts Among Men portray a sense of isolation and detachment from the society. The band talks about walking a path alone and feeling dead to the world, indicating a lack of connection and acceptance. The phrase "transparent life is all we know" highlights a feeling of being ignored and overlooked by others. The lyrics suggest that the band feels like they have no place to call their own and are ready to disappear, emphasizing a feeling of being invisible and unimportant in the eyes of others. The phrase "ghosts among men" portrays a sense of being present but not really seen or recognized, highlighting the band's feeling of being unwanted and ignored.
Overall, the song highlights the feelings of social disconnection and lack of identity that many people experience. The imagery of being a ghost is particularly powerful, as it emphasizes the feeling of being present but invisible, a common feeling for those who struggle to connect with others. The song's message about feeling like an outsider also serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and understanding towards those who may be struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation.
