A lot can… Read Full Bio ↴Crossover thrash from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
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.
Loveless
Grave Maker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What part can you not see?
And what are you still holding on to?
I have been a wreck since the start
I've been dead for years
Don't forget that this is all my fault
I'm weighing down on you
Nothing's changed and its starting to show
Let go
I will only bring you down
You know you've got to let this go
The lyrics to Grave Maker's "Loveless" paints a picture of a person who is burdened with a sense of guilt and a feeling of emptiness. The artist begins by referring to themselves as another nightmare, which implies that they are a source of pain and fear in someone's life. They then ask what part the person cannot see, suggesting that they are aware of the negative impact they have on someone but wonders if the person is in denial.
The artist then goes on to state that they have been a wreck since the start, implying that they have been broken even before they started the relationship. They further state that they have been dead for years, perhaps signifying that they have been through a lot of pain and have lost their sense of liveliness. They also accept that their actions resulted in the current state of the relationship, and they are weighing down on the other person.
Towards the end of the song, the artist defiantly declares that they will only bring the other person down and that they should let go of the relationship. The song's overall tone is that of a person who is consumed by guilt and pain, leaving them feeling loveless and empty in their relationship.
