2001 - 2010

When Nonscore and Skaramush broke up in 2001 some members of these former punkrockbands joined forces in a new and fresh band called Locals Only. Inspired by their favorite activities, surfing, travelling, and listening to punkrock, they created their own sound and were good to go on stage.

After many cool shows with various other bands, which helped the band to grow a lot, Locals Only was ready to record a cd. The Californian label 'Sindependent Records' showed interest in LO and so a deal was made.

In the spring of 2005 their drummer Kling had to leave the band during hearingproblems. Still he was able to record the drums on Locals Only's first full lenght album 'Localism' consisting of 12 songs. Luckily a new drummer was soon found and now LO is anxious to get back on stage and promote their just released CD.

In 2010 Locals Only recorderd 3 new songs for a demo which are now available exclusively on Last.FM

Short after the release of the demo and a video for the song 'Lonely days' Remko stopped playing in LO which made the rest of the band decide to go on a indefinate hiatus.

Locals Only Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pack up your failures and ghosts
We made it here on our own
I lost myself in these footsteps that led me home
But you never wanna talk about it
Good for us, now you′re surrounded
Never be now you never told me you doubt it {?}
And I'll stay here while you′re still moving on
Pick yourself up like you do from the floors of bars

You're gonna give up and go
You'll find your way on your own
You lost yourself in these footsteps that led you home
But you never wanna talk about it
And say things that make you seem
Like you′re not the way you are

And if it meant anything to you
(It′s not that hard)
Each of the footsteps you made in the dirt
Is it anything to you?
(Let's see your scars)
Saying to no one that the footsteps you made are gone

It′s a lot to take in, I know
It's hard to put down the phone
I see right through you
I know that you′re not what you show
(Use my ribcage as a pillow)
So that tomorrow you'll find some other beau

You gotta give up and go
You′ll find your way on your own
You lost yourself in these footsteps that led you home
But you never wanna talk about it
Saying things that make you seem
Like you're not the way you are

And if it meant anything to you
(It's not that hard)
Each of the footsteps you made in the dirt
Is it anything to you?
(Let′s see your scars)
Saying to no one that the footsteps you made are gone

(Anything to you oooh)
(Anything to you aaah)
And if it meant anything to you
(It′s not that hard)
Each of the footsteps you made in the dirt
Is it anything to you?
(Let's see your scars)
Saying to no one that the footsteps you made are gone
Footsteps are gone
Your footsteps are gone
Your footsteps are gone
(You got a lot a nerve to come back)
Your footsteps are gone

(You should′ve fucking thought before you untraced
Your way out of this fray and left me with myself to blame)

Overall Meaning

The song "Footsteps" by Locals Only appears to be about a relationship that has been broken for some time. The lyrics are quite emotional and raw, mentioning failed attempts to communicate and understand each other, feelings of loss and betrayal, and the difficulty in moving on. The chorus seems to be about one person trying to convince the other that the footsteps they left behind are still important and meaningful, while the other person seems to have moved on and is not interested in revisiting the past.

The first verse and chorus suggest that both parties have struggled to overcome their past mistakes and move forward. The singer suggests that they have been able to let go of their own failures and ghosts, and that they have found a sense of home in the path they have taken. However, the other person seems to be stuck in the past and doesn't want to talk about it. The singer seems to be urging the other person to move on and find their own way, but also acknowledges the pain of letting go of something that once meant so much.

The second verse and chorus seem to be an echo of the first, with the roles reversed. This time, it is the other person who is encouraged to give up and move on, but they are still unable to let go of the past. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the importance of the footsteps each person has taken, and questioning whether they still hold any meaning for the other person.

Overall, "Footsteps" is a poignant reflection on the end of a relationship and the difficulty in letting go of the past. It seems to suggest that even though the relationship is over, the memories and experiences are still meaningful and important to both parties, and that it is important to acknowledge and honor those feelings before moving forward.

Line by Line Meaning

Pack up your failures and ghosts
Leave behind your past failures and regrets

We made it here on our own
We succeeded without anyone's help

I lost myself in these footsteps that led me home
Following my path home made me forget who I was

But you never wanna talk about it
You never want to discuss our issues

Good for us, now you′re surrounded
We're doing well and have support

Never be now you never told me you doubt it {?}
It's too late to tell me now if you had doubts

And I'll stay here while you′re still moving on
I'll stay put while you move forward with your life

Pick yourself up like you do from the floors of bars
Get over it like you do when you fall on the floor of a bar

You're gonna give up and go
You're going to quit and leave

You'll find your way on your own
You'll figure it out without my help

You lost yourself in these footsteps that led you home
Following your path home made you forget who you were

And say things that make you seem Like you′re not the way you are
You say things that don't reflect who you really are

And if it meant anything to you (It′s not that hard) Each of the footsteps you made in the dirt Is it anything to you? (Let's see your scars) Saying to no one that the footsteps you made are gone
Did our journey together mean anything to you? Each step we took had an impact, so show me your wounds if it did. You act like it didn't matter.

It′s a lot to take in, I know It's hard to put down the phone
I understand that you're overwhelmed, and it's difficult to disconnect from technology

I see right through you I know that you′re not what you show
I can tell that you're not being genuine

(Use my ribcage as a pillow) So that tomorrow you'll find some other beau
Sleep on me for comfort, but you'll eventually move on to someone else

And if it meant anything to you (It's not that hard) Each of the footsteps you made in the dirt Is it anything to you? (Let′s see your scars) Saying to no one that the footsteps you made are gone
Did our journey together mean anything to you? Each step we took had an impact, so show me your wounds if it did. You act like it didn't matter.

(Anything to you oooh) (Anything to you aaah)
Did any of it matter to you?

(You got a lot a nerve to come back)
You're being audacious for returning

(You should′ve fucking thought before you untraced Your way out of this fray and left me with myself to blame)
You should have considered the consequences before leaving, leaving me to deal with the mess.
