The first of these albums, The Fake Sound of Progress, was originally recorded for the meager sum of £6000 and intended as a glorified demo, but after catching the ears of several major labels, the band re-recorded and re-released the album on a much wider scale through Columbia Records. This resulted in a backlash against the band that was exacerbated by the four-year gap between their first and second albums. When the second album, Start Something, was finally released, the band achieved even greater success, entering the UK album chart at number five, and earning the band international popularity, most notably in the United States. Their third album entitled Liberation Transmission was released on the 26th of June 2006 in the UK and entered the UK album chart at number one.
In April 2007 Lostprophets began the Final Transmission - the last round of touring of their current album with Aiden and Taking Back Sunday as the confirmed support. The bands played at huge venues such as Wembley Arena. The end the tour, on Saturday 26 May 2007, lostprophets performed at The Full Ponty festival at Pontypridd's Ynysangharad Park. Pontypridd is also the hometown of most of the current band members and so the festival was advertised as "lostprophets homecoming". Other bands at the festival included Reel Big Fish, The Automatic, The Blackout, Gallows and Kids In Glass Houses .Following the tour, the band hit the studio to record their fourth album which Ian Watkins is describing as a return to their roots with heavier punk influences. Watkins says "It will be a lot darker and a lot more intense. It'll have a completely different vibe to it ... but it won't be like Converge or nuthin".
Their 4th studio album "The Betrayed" was released on 19 January 2010.
On 20 December 2012, lead singer Ian Watkins was charged with a host of offences involving sexual activity with minors. The band disbanded in October 2013. Watkins was later convicted and sentenced to twenty-nine years in prison, with six more on extended licence.

Lostprophets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All gone wrong now
I get the feeling that its gone and its the reason that I
Feel so dark now
Too much inside, too much in life
Define your point of view
I know your leaving, though I think that my times fleeting but yet
You don't see it
[Chorus]
Gone, once you shone, I move on
Though I still find time to hide
It's all buried deep inside, so it
Looks like you've found a way to reach my heart
And take it all back to the start of this
(though I'm)
A million miles from home
Maybe your reasons, keep on changing through the seasons
Only time could tell now
Don't stem the bleeding, cause I m sure it has some meaning still you
Feel so dark now
Too much inside, too much in life
Define your point of view
Are you still leaving, maybe you should start believing but still
You don't see it

[Chorus]
Lostprophets' song "A Million Miles" depicts the feelings of an individual whose relationship has gone sour. The opening line "I hear you screaming but I know that you don't mean it and it's all gone wrong now" suggests that the person's significant other has shouted or expressed frustrations, but the singer doubts that they are genuine. The singer acknowledges that something has gone wrong in their relationship, and it is the reason why everything now seems dark. They are overwhelmed by their emotions, and they want to define their point of view. The lines "Too much inside, too much in life, define your point of view" suggest that the singer is struggling to process their emotions coherently.
The chorus highlights the pain the singer is going through, and how they are trying to move on. The lyrics "Gone, once you shone, I move on, though I still find time to hide" imply that the person they were once in love with has now left their life. The singer is trying their best to hide their emotions and bury them deep inside, but the other person keeps finding ways to reach their heart and take them back to the beginning of their relationship. The last line in the chorus "though I'm a million miles from home" suggests that the singer is lost and alone even though they are in familiar surroundings. The verses repeat ideas from the opening lines, and the chorus follows the same pattern, emphasizing the singer's feelings of helplessness.
