Formed in 2005, the five young lads from Adelaide have taken next to no time to build a solid reputation in their hometown. From sold out shows in some of the towns larger rooms, to stealing the crowd (and adoration from fans that knew every word) on supports of big International and National artists, they quickly became the band to keep an eye on in Adelaide. Upon their signing to Indie label Boomtown Records in 2006, the band released an EP of old recordings (“The Four Letter Failure”) and toured nationally on the Boomtown Showdown tour – making a solid impact and building a national hype.

From there on it’s been all guns blazing – landing at number 72 on the Australian ARIA Charts (they stayed in the top 100 for 5 weeks), scoring Triple J’s “Next Crop Artist” status in November 2007 and more recently, being included as the opening act for the Boys of Summer Tour amongst massive alternative acts from Australian and the US.

But while the band built their hype in almost no time, it is on their new EP “Ghost” that they prove exactly why promoters and bands list In Fiction as their support of choice and the band they choose to rave about at any given chance. From the genius of the opener (and lead single) “When the Camera’s Off” to the building intensity of the finale “Awake Without You”, the attention to detail and the perfection in the melodies will make anyone excited. But it’s on the beautiful anthem “If You’re Up Late” that In Fiction really shine, with one of the most charismatic and intense choruses you will hear from a band all year.

Early on In Fiction were dubbed “Adelaide’s brightest star” by their local press. If “Ghost” is anything to go by, they will soon be known as one of Australia’s brightest.

The band released another album on the June 7, 2008 named 'Forecast (Black)' which became widely popular. Their hit song 'Liar Liar' received the most success resulting in a music video being made for it.

On the October 28, 2008, the band posted a blog on their myspace stating

'we reached a point where we were no longer enjoying working at the band full-time.'

This was followed by an indication that they have ceased all touring but will continue to play small gigs around their home town.

They have also indicated that the band will in fact be seperating to 'return to study and prepare for married life' but have hinted that we should look out for future projects relating to the band. All the band members will be continuing with their musical talents during the absence.

Last Breath
In Fiction Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't imagine this
I'm so in love with hating
You're such a hit and miss
Such, such, such bitter flavour

We still are alone
We still are alone

I can survive like this
So why would I ever wanna change at all
I'm not the one that
This a second side of me you never saw

When you last breathe
I sold my chances to be the air you need
When you last breathe
It's 4am and we're apart when you need

I can't imagine this
Cos I'm so in love with hating
You're such a hit and miss
Such, such, such bitter flavour

We still are alone
We still are alone

When you last breathe (ahhh)
I sold my chances to be the air you need

When you last breathe
It's 4am and we're apart when you need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to In Fiction's song Last Breath appears to be a reflection on a dysfunctional relationship. The singer confesses to being so consumed by hatred that they cannot imagine a world outside of the bitterness. The partner they are addressing in the lyrics is presented as a "hit and miss" flavor, suggesting that the relationship is not entirely fulfilling. Despite this dissatisfaction, the singer admits that they can survive in this state.

The second half of the song focuses on the breaking point of the relationship. The line "when you last breathe" alludes to the partner's final moments, possibly a metaphor for the ending of the relationship. The singer sold their "chances to be the air" to their partner, implying that they were entirely devoted but were still unable to save the relationship. In the end, despite still feeling alone, the singer has accepted that the relationship is over, and they are no longer able to keep the partner close.

Overall, the lyrics to Last Breath suggest a story of a toxic relationship that has reached its breaking point. The singer is torn between their love and hatred for their partner, and they ultimately realize that they cannot hold onto something that has already slipped away.

Line by Line Meaning

I can't imagine this
I find it hard to believe

I'm so in love with hating
I'm addicted to negativity

You're such a hit and miss
You're unpredictable

Such, such, such bitter flavour
Your presence is unpleasant

We still are alone
We are still by ourselves

I can survive like this
I can continue living this way

So why would I ever wanna change at all
Therefore, there is no reason for me to change

I'm not the one that
I am not the type of person who

This a second side of me you never saw
This is an unfamiliar aspect of my personality

When you last breathe
At the moment of your final breath

I sold my chances to be the air you need
I gave up my opportunity to support you
