1. Graveyard is a hard rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden.
Joakim Nilsson, Rikard Edlund (both formerly of Norrsken), Axel Sjöberg, and Truls Mörck formed Graveyard in 2006. When Norrsken disbanded in 2000, guitarist Magnus Pelander went on to form doomy folk metal act Witchcraft and Nilsson and Edlund joined Albatros, a growly blues rock band whose lineup also included Sjöberg on drums. Initially they considered Albatros a hobby project, but after five years the members began taking their music more seriously and had grown dissatisfied with the direction their sound had taken. When Albatros broke up, Nilsson and Edlund decided that for their next venture, they would head back towards their roots as musicians and songwriters. Nilsson explains, “I am a singer, but in Albatross I only played guitar. Rikard played guitar but he is a bass player. We also wanted a more straightforward [rock] sound.”
Together with Sjöberg and guitarist/singer Truls Mörck they began practicing as Graveyard. Upon their initial formation, Graveyard quickly recorded a two track demo, played a total of three shows, and began planning for a full-length album with Swedish boutique label, Transubstans Records. In the meantime, they posted a demo of some of their material on MySpace. Songs from the band's Myspace caught the ear of Tony Presedo, founder of TeePee Records. Their self-titled debut album was recorded by Don Ahlsterberg and released in early 2008. On the recording sessions' completion, Truls Mörck was replaced by guitarist Jonatan Ramm. The debut album received generally good reviews. Graveyard performed at the 2008's South by Southwest Music Festival.
Graveyard was featured on Rolling Stone Magazine's Fricke's Picks for their first ever US gig at SXSW.[4] After SXSW, Graveyard toured with label mates Witch. In the Fall of 2008 Graveyard toured with Witchcraft and then Clutch. In 2009 they toured with the rock band CKY. Graveyard released their second album in spring of 2011.

Lost In Confusion
Graveyard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
for how long I can't recall
It seems like I never
would run of bad luck
I never thought that I would get these thoughts
And the sands are running low
I would get dazed to kill my haze
It starts to feel like I'm lost
in this confusion
I tried so hard but I know now
that I can't get out
that I can't get out
All my thoughts were trapped
in downward spirals
Shutting off my feelings
And now they're gone forever
Every time I try to focus
I'll wind up somewhere else
My head won't stop spinning
And my mind is covered in haze
It starts to feel like I'm lost
in this confusion
I tried so hard but I know now
that I can't get out
that I can't get out
It starts to feel like I'm lost
in this confusion
I tried so hard but I know now
that I can't get out
that I can't get out
The lyrics of Graveyard's song Lost In Confusion speak of the struggles of a person who has been walking upstream for an unknown period of time. The person seems to have been enduring a series of unfortunate events, and the feeling that their luck has run out is prevalent. They never imagined they would experience the kind of confusion and distress that they are currently in. Additionally, the person is affected by the passing of time, and they fear that they are running out of it. The person tries to clear their mind, to focus on something, but no matter how hard they try, they find themselves lost in this haze of confusion.
It is clear that the person feels helpless, unable to extricate themselves from the chaos that surrounds them. They have withdrawn deep within themselves, where their thoughts have turned into downward spirals, closing themselves off from their emotions. The person has been caught in this cycle for a long time, and every time they try to break out of it, they end up in another direction, their mind spinning uncontrollably. At this point, the person is resigned to the fact that they can't get out of this state of confusion.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been walking up streams
I've been struggling against the current, fighting to make progress
for how long I can't recall
I've been at this for so long, it's hard to remember when it started
It seems like I never
It feels like there's no end in sight
would run of bad luck
I'm constantly facing negative circumstances and setbacks
I never thought that I would get these thoughts
I never imagined my mind could be so clouded and confused
And the sands are running low
Time is running out and I'm running out of options
I would get dazed to kill my haze
I tried to distract myself from my confusion and numb my feelings
And now there's no return
I'm trapped in my confusion and there's no way to escape it
All my thoughts were trapped
My mind was filled with negative and overwhelming thoughts
in downward spirals
My thoughts were leading me in a negative and destructive direction
Shutting off my feelings
I tried to ignore my emotions in order to cope with my confusion
And now they're gone forever
I've lost touch with my own emotions and can't seem to get them back
Every time I try to focus
Whenever I attempt to regain my clarity and direction
I'll wind up somewhere else
My confusion leads me astray and I can't stay on track
My head won't stop spinning
I can't stop the flood of chaotic and confusing thoughts
And my mind is covered in haze
My thoughts are clouded and I can't see a clear way forward
It starts to feel like I'm lost
I'm overwhelmed and don't know where to turn
in this confusion
My mind is muddled and I can't find my way through
I tried so hard but I know now
I've done everything I can, but I've hit a dead end
that I can't get out
There's no way to escape my confusion and regain clarity
that I can't get out
I'm trapped in my confusion and there's no way out
