The next few years were spent working on the follow-up to BiB which was to be called The Truth About You. But changes at their label left the band with no support and few options. Under the circumstances the band members decided to go their separate ways.
Ms. Fortune
Injected Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my soul was seething alone,
From all my guilt and shame
Found you dead inside of your room, barely breathing
But your soul was screaming alone,
It's time to put away your pain
It's time you found out what I've been on about
Ms. fortune's plain
When I came to I opened my eyes
And I breathed in all the life I was pushing away
Before I'd go insane
I look through you
And I see something there that you don't see,
If only you'd choose to believe me
You know you're more than just your pain
It's time you found out what I've been on about
It's time you knew,
Those eyes see right through you
The things that we've known,
We've held too much to keep it inside
And hidden in the spaces we've shown
Why run, when there's nothing to hide?

The opening lines of the song begin with the singer describing how they were found dead on the side of the road, barely breathing, with a seething soul from all the guilt and shame. The following lines talk about the other person's experience of being found dead inside their room, barely breathing, with a screaming soul feeling alone. It's about how people often try to mask their pain, but it's not the right way to deal with it.
The chorus of the song talks about how Ms. Fortune, representing bad luck or misfortune, is plain to see when she's staring back at the singer.

Found me dead on the side of the road, barely breathing
I was nearly dead, lying on the roadside while breathing faintly
But my soul was seething alone, From all my guilt and shame
My soul was full of anger, being alone due to the guilt and shame I was carrying
Found you dead inside of your room, barely breathing
I found you almost lifeless inside your room
But your soul was screaming alone, It's time to put away your pain
Even though you were screaming inside your soul, it's time to let go of your pain
It's time you found out what I've been on about
It's time for you to know what I've been trying to say
Well misfortune's plain to see when she's staring back at me
It's evident that Ms. Fortune is staring right at me, showing me misfortunes
When I came to I opened my eyes
When I gained consciousness, I opened my eyes
And I breathed in all the life I was pushing away
I inhaled all the life that I was avoiding
Before I'd go insane
Before I lost my mind
I look through you
I can see through you
And I see something there that you don't see
I see something in you that you are not aware of
If only you'd choose to believe me
If only you decide to trust me
You know you're more than just your pain
You are more than just the pain you are going through
The things that we've known, We've held too much to keep it inside
We have held the things we know inside us for too long
And hidden in the spaces we've shown
And kept them hidden, even though we showed them
Why run, when there's nothing to hide?
Why try to escape when there is nothing to hide?
