The band began their first performances while still attending college and soon began playing shows in Quezon City and Manila. The band name is derived from their guild name - Kissbone, in the RPG game Ragnarok Online. Rising from the punk rock/emo-screamo genre, Kissbone evolved primarily to hardcore/metalcore music. They state Bullet For My Valentine, August Burns Red, A Day To Remember and Trivium as their influences.
Kissbone recorded their first demo in 2008 which includes a rock cover of Runaway by The Corrs and two original songs. The demo was not released but was posted on their Purevolume profile.
Lineup suddenly changed when Larissa Gesalta joined the band to add violin and feminine vocals for their first EP album - Black, which they independently released in 2009. Later that year, Larissa left the band to be the band's manager.
This mid-2010 Kissbone recorded another demo and preparing for the pre-production of another EP album or hopefully, a full-length album.
A couple months after the recording the new demo, Allan Luching left the band and was replaced by Parker Cataquian to play the bass.
Mad
Kissbone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody's talking, cause' talking just turns into screaming
And now yes I'm yelling over her, she yelling over me,
All that that means is neither of us are listening,
And what's even worse, that we don't even remember why we're fighting
So both of us are mad for nothing, (fighting for)
Nothing, (crying for)
When we won't let it go for nothing, (come back for)
Nothing,
It should be nothing
To a love like what we got oh baby
(I know some times it's gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
Cause' I can't sleep through the pain) can't sleep through the pain
(Girl I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me
(No I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me (oh no)
Umm
(And it gets me upset girl when you're constantly accusing)
Asking questions like you already know
(Hey we're fighting this war maybe when both of us are losing)
This ain't the way that love is supposed to go, whatever happened to working it out?
(We fall into this place where you ain't backing down, and I ain't backing down,
So what the hell do we do now?)
It's all for nothing, (fighting for)
Nothing, (crying for)
Nothing... (Oohh)
When we won't let it go for nothing,
Nothing,
It should be nothing
To a love like what we got oh baby
(I know some times it's gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
Cause' I can't sleep through the pain) can't sleep through the pain
(Girl I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me
(No I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me (oh no)
Oh baby this love ain't gone be perfect, (perfect, perfect oh no)
And just how good it's gonna be
We can fuss and we can fight long as everything is alright between us before we go to sleep...
Baby we're gonna be...
I know sometimes it's gonna rain
I know sometimes it's gonna rain
(I know some times it's gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
Cause' I can't sleep through the pain) can't sleep through the pain
(Girl I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me
(No I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me (oh no)
The song "Mad" by Kissbone talks about a couple who are having an argument and are both hurt and angry. The lyrics suggest that both of them are yelling at each other, but neither is actually listening, which is making the situation worse. The chorus repeats the line "mad for nothing," suggesting that the couple is arguing about something trivial and they are both allowing themselves to become overly upset. Despite this, they still love each other and do not want to go to bed angry at each other.
The second verse suggests that the couple has been arguing for a while, and the situation is starting to wear on them. They are accusing each other of things and neither is willing to back down. The line "whatever happened to working it out?" suggests that the couple is not communicating effectively and is not able to find a solution to their problems.
Overall, the song is a plea to the other person to let go of their anger and work towards a resolution. It suggests that love requires effort and compromise, and that even when things aren't perfect, it's important to remember the love that they share.
Line by Line Meaning
She's staring at me, I'm sitting wondering what she's thinking
I am confused and unable to connect with my partner, who appears to be deep in thought
Nobody's talking, cause' talking just turns into screaming
We have reached a point in our argument where talking will only lead to more conflict
And now yes I'm yelling over her, she yelling over me,
Our voices are raised in anger, but no one is truly listening to the other
All that that means is neither of us are listening,
Our communication has broken down and we are no longer able to listen to each other's perspectives
And what's even worse, that we don't even remember why we're fighting
Our argument has become so intense that we have lost sight of the original issue causing the conflict
So both of us are mad for nothing, (fighting for)
Nothing, (crying for)
Nothing, (oohh)
Our anger and tears over this argument are making us suffer needlessly
When we won't let it go for nothing, (come back for)
Nothing,
It should be nothing
To a love like what we got oh baby
Our love should be strong enough to overcome petty arguments, and we need to learn to let go of our anger and come back to each other
(I know some times it's gonna rain,
But baby can we make up now
Cause' I can't sleep through the pain) can't sleep through the pain
(Girl I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me
(No I don't want to go to bed) mad at you
(And I don't want you to go to bed), mad at me (oh no)
We need to make peace with each other, because the pain of our argument is too great to bear, and sleeping apart only compounds our anger
(And it gets me upset girl when you're constantly accusing)
Asking questions like you already know
(Hey we're fighting this war maybe when both of us are losing)
This ain't the way that love is supposed to go, whatever happened to working it out?
I am hurt and frustrated that my partner is constantly accusing me, and we are both losing in this battle of wills. This is not how a loving relationship is supposed to function, and we need to work together to overcome our differences
(We fall into this place where you ain't backing down, and I ain't backing down,
So what the hell do we do now?)
We have reached a stalemate where neither of us is willing to back down, and we are unsure how to proceed from here
It's all for nothing, (fighting for)
Nothing, (crying for)
Nothing... (Oohh)
Our conflict has no purpose or meaning, and it is only causing us unnecessary emotional pain
Oh baby this love ain't gone be perfect, (perfect, perfect oh no)
And just how good it's gonna be
We can fuss and we can fight long as everything is alright between us before we go to sleep...
Baby we're gonna be...
I know sometimes it's gonna rain
I know sometimes it's gonna rain
Our love will never be perfect, but as long as we work together and make peace before going to bed, we can overcome any argument
