InMe have toured with the likes of Nickelback, Limp Bizkit, Pendulum, Deftones, Serj Tankian, Staind, Feeder, Biffy Clyro and The Rasmus; they have also played main stages and packed tents at respected festivals such as Reading, Sonisphere, Download & Summer Breeze.
The InMe of today is a very different animal to that of their 2003 debut album “Overgrown Eden”. Their continued evolution has maintained a fiercely loyal fanbase and challenged them further as musicians with the release of every album. Following on from “White Butterfly” (2005), “Daydream Anonymous” (2007) and “Herald Moth” (2009) the band released “Phoenix – The Best of InMe” in 2010: this celebrated their career so far and featured exclusive tracks that showcased InMe’s progression from their early days, when they had been thrust into the spotlight as teens.
Over seven years on from first discovering the band, Kerrang! Magazine witnessed a full tent at Sonisphere Festival as “fans old and new celebrate a band who lionheartedly refuse to die”. Later in 2010 InMe packed out The Relentless Garage in London for 4 album shows to crown a year that proved beyond doubt that they were alive, well and very much wanted by the UK alternative rock scene.
Rolling on to 2011, InMe kept quiet until their triumphant return to Sonisphere Festival: this time the tent was bigger, and once again full to capacity, as 5000 people crammed into Bohemia to see them rock as hard as ever. The temptation could have been to head straight out on tour, but the band had been developing their sound for their 5th studio album entitled “The Pride”; they will spend the rest of 2011 perfecting the opening of the next chapter of InMe.
Always a band to give their all, they were never likely to return in 2012 with a mere handful of headline shows. True to form, InMe will release “The Pride” in February 2012 with a 35-date tour spanning the entire of the UK and Ireland until the end of March where London’s o2 Academy Islington will host the final show of the tour.
“The Pride” was released via Pledge Music in spring 2012, an innovative approach that puts the artists and their fans in control of the development of the album. Having seen the overwhelming support frontman Dave McPherson received for his solo album in March 2011 via the same route, it was clear to InMe that their fans would want to be involved in how “The Pride” was released.

InMe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lucent orb is fading bright,
All of this hatred turns you on,
You can taste my life forever,
Voices shadow me and tell me to kill myself,
What to do? What to do?
All that contains me is gravity,
Mediterranean guided by the moon,
Take me home because I don't feel like I used to,
Take me home because I on't feel like I did that day,
And then I forgot it all
The lyrics to InMe's song, Energy, speak to a sense of disconnect and disorientation. The opening line, "I was in heaven and you don't care," sets the tone for a feeling of emotional detachment from the world around the singer. The phrase "lucent orb" suggests a fading, diminishing light, perhaps representing the singer's fading hope or vitality. The lines "All of this hatred turns you on, / You can taste my life forever" hint at a darker, more predatory force at work, one that is attracted to the singer's suffering and pain.
The lyrics then move into a more frenzied, frantic tone with the lines "Voices shadow me and tell me to kill myself, / What to do? What to do?" Here, the singer feels overwhelmed by a chorus of voices, perhaps representing their own inner demons or societal pressures. The phrase "All that contains me is gravity" reinforces a sense of being weighed down, trapped or confined in some way. The image of the Mediterranean guided by the moon is a likely metaphor for the singer's own inner guidance system, as they seek to navigate the uncertain waters of their own psyche.
Finally, the lyrics return to a sense of longing and displacement with the lines "Take me home because I don't feel like I used to, / Take me home because I don't feel like I did that day, / And then I forgot it all." Here, the singer yearns for a return to a state of emotional stability and comfort, but also acknowledges that they may have lost something precious along the way. Overall, the lyrics to Energy suggest a complex and multi-layered journey through the inner landscape of the human psyche, filled with both danger and possibility.
Line by Line Meaning
I was in heaven and you don't care,
I experienced immense happiness but you didn't express any concern for me.
My lucent orb is fading bright,
My inner light and positivity is diminishing.
All of this hatred turns you on,
You get pleasure from witnessing the negativity that surrounds me.
You can taste my life forever,
You have the power to consume and control every aspect of my existence.
Voices shadow me and tell me to kill myself,
I am haunted by thoughts and suggestions to end my own life.
What to do? What to do?
I am in a state of confusion and do not know how to move forward.
All that contains me is gravity,
I feel trapped and held down by the weight of my emotions and circumstances.
Mediterranean guided by the moon,
My surroundings are influenced and governed by natural elements.
All of this burning cools you down,
Your desire for chaos and destruction is stifled temporarily by the intensity of it all.
Take me home because I don't feel like I used to,
I long for a sense of familiarity and comfort because my current state is so foreign.
Take me home because I don't feel like I did that day,
I wish to return to a previous time in my life where I felt content and at ease.
And then I forgot it all
The passage of time and the weight of my experiences caused me to move on and forget the pain and struggle that once consumed me.
