1) Honestly was Rob Attaway - Guitar, Vocals, Matt Dashner - Bass, Justin Land - Vocals, Matt Melton - Guitar Vocals, and Joe Thibodeau - Drums.
Passion is exactly what defines Honestly. While many bands are waiting to be discovered, Honestly is simply doing what they love making music. Without the aid of a record label, they are demanding national attention with their relentless touring, increasing radio exposure, and electrifying live show. Their diligence has resulted in widespread critical acclaim, culminating in being named national Unsigned Band of the Year in 2004 by Alternative Addiction and a Buzz Band by Hits Daily Double Magazine.
In the Fall of 2005 Honestly played their last show together. Each member has moved onto new things- some with music, some with some new things. They have left us with 2 CD's of great songs and many, many memories of some incredibly powerful rock shows that will not soon be forgotten. The only way for you to purchase their music is via any online retailer (ie: iTunes, Rhapsody, etc...)
2) Honestly (aka Naserito / Nasser), real name Nasser Jabril was a Swedish rapper. He passed away in november 2019
All We Are
Honestly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The more we answer the less we know
Could it be that all along
We've just believed what we've been told
Don't call me that anymore
That's not my name
Is this all we are
Just a shooting star
A fading memory
What have I become?
Have I come undone?
Is there something more to me?
It shouldn't be hard, but it always is
And there's so much I don't understand
24 years can't make sense of this
Will I ever know who I am?
Don't call me that anymore
That's not my name
It doesn't matter anymore
I'll find my faith
[Chorus]
Is this all we are?
Yeah...
Is this all we are?
There must be something more
[Chorus: x2]
Yeah.....
The lyrics to Honestly's song "All We Are" speak to the human experience of questioning one's place in the world, and the existential crises that come with it. The opening lines, "Could it be that we are wrong / The more we answer the less we know" suggest that the more we try to make sense of our reality, the more we end up confused and uncertain. This is a common theme in philosophy, as many thinkers have argued that our limited human understanding can only take us so far in understanding the world around us.
The song also touches on the idea of identity, as the singer declares "Don't call me that anymore / That's not my name." This could refer to either a literal name change or a metaphorical one, as the singer seeks to distance themselves from a label or identity that no longer fits. The chorus asks the listener to ponder the nature of human existence and whether there is something more to life than just our fleeting existence: "Is this all we are / Just a shooting star / A fading memory / What have I become? / Have I come undone? / Is there something more to me?"
The phrase "24 years can't make sense of this / Will I ever know who I am?" speaks to the difficulties we all face in trying to figure out our place in the world. Despite our best efforts, sometimes it feels like we are no closer to understanding who we are or what we're here for. The song ultimately suggests that there must be something more to life than what we can see or understand.
