1) Mike Truman and Chris Healings have been writing, producing, touring and DJing all over the globe for the best part of a decade, amassing near 250 productions. The duo has written four LPs to date: Wide Angle, 1999; Morning Sci-Fi, 2003; I Choose Noise, 2006; and Disappear Here, 2010 – all on Distinctive.
Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album, Wide Angle, in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup.
Though, much has changed on the road to Hybrid's fourth artist album Disappear Here. Most notable is the addition of Hybrid's third member – singer / songwriter Charlotte James – to go along with founders Chris Healings and Mike Truman.
With Disappear Here, Hybrid have managed to create an epic and unique sound which has progressed dramatically from its original dance inception but still retains much of what makes electronic music so exciting. The album features guest vocals from Tim Hutton, drums from Alex Madge and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

I'm Still Awake
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got no time to talk
I reason all that I came to find
And it fuels desire
Change the stylus soon
Before it wears the grooves
Isn't it just cool round here
So careful now you don't belong
Careful now set it straight you know
I don't like to change
You don't have to take the chance
I've given all that I can and it made me last
The last thing I need is just to play
I've taken all that I can just to stay awake
You don't have to take the chance
I've given all that I can and it made me last
The last thing I need is just to play
I've taken all that I can just to stay awake
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Won't you catch me?
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Won't you catch me?
Won't you catch me?
Careful now you don't belong
Careful now set it straight you know
I don't like to change
You don't have to take the chance
I've given all that I can and it made me last
The last thing I need is just to play
I've taken all that I can just to stay awake
I'm still awake
I'm still awake
I'm still awake
The song "I'm Still Awake" by Hybrid begins with lyrics that speak to the singer's focus and determination towards a goal: "I don't care for much, Got no time to talk, I reason all that I came to find, And it fuels desire". The lyrics suggest that the singer has a clear objective in mind and is willing to put in the effort to achieve it. The next set of lyrics seem to reflect the idea that even while pursuing their objective, the singer is aware that they need to take care of the tools used to achieve it: "Change the stylus soon, Before it wears the grooves, Isn't it just cool round here, Where I can't afford to live?". The singer recognizes the importance of maintaining their tools to ensure maximum efficiency, while also acknowledging the monetary burden of their work.
The last set of lyrics speak to the singer's determination to stay focused even when faced with challenges. They state: "You don't have to take a chance, I've given all that I can and it made me last, The last thing I need is just to play, I've taken all that I can just to stay awake". The lyrics suggest that the singer has already given everything they can to achieve their goal and is unwilling to take any unnecessary risks that could jeopardize their progress. The repetition of the phrase "I'm still awake" at the end of the song reinforces the singer's determination and persistence towards their objective.

I don't care for much
I don't have many needs or desires
Got no time to talk
I'm too busy to engage in conversation

I have carefully thought through what I want to achieve
And it fuels desire
My focused pursuit of my goals motivates me
Change the stylus soon
I need to replace the needle on my record player before it wears out
Before it wears the grooves
So that the record won't be ruined by the worn needle
Isn't it just cool round here
I like this place
Where I can't afford to live?
Even though I like it here, I can't afford to live in this neighborhood
So careful now you don't belong
Be mindful that you are an outsider

You don't need to take any unnecessary risks
