Simply epic and evil. Margin of Error is known for its shape-shifting mentality and have made its impact by doing so. Attention to detail is in excess as the band has always promised to deliver unique and conceptually driven art in an age where where such items go unappreciated. The band has put out two full length records in its time with "Destroy.Create.Repeat." (2008), and "What You Are About to Witness (2009). Margin of Error has vowed to make their upcoming third full length a truly defining moment. Genre-less and proud, the band is capable of anything and for now we must sit and wait to see what barriers they will break down next.
Vital Signs
Margin of Error Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Invent, creations have become them.
Lay away, oxygen intake.
Crawling insects, mind in torment.
Kill them to get away.
There is only on way.
Thought derange, nothing remains.
Fear pours out in liquid capsules, retreating.
Will you weep for this?
Will they wait for this?
Absent these vital signs are you alive?
Sew this mind void.
Shut your eyes child.
It will all be over when the gun hits the ground.
Thought knives cut these veins of hope as faith spills forth who noticed before?
Lie, lies living in bloodless sores as blame spills forth who deserves to mourn?
Will you weep for this?
Will they wait for this?
The lyrics of Margin of Error's song Vital Signs suggest a deep and dark description of a struggling individual. The first line, "Absence, a synthesized emotion," could be interpreted as a lack of feeling, with the individual synthesizing their emotions, or manufacturing them artificially. The second line, "Invent, creations have become them," alludes to a disconnect between the individual's identity and the constructs they've created around themselves. The following line, "Lay away, oxygen intake," could be interpreted as the individual isolating themselves from society, another indicator of their struggles.
The song then continues with the lines, "Crawling insects, mind in torment. Kill them to get away. There is only one way. Thought derange, nothing remains. Fear pours out in liquid capsules, retreating. Retreat." These lines suggest a corrupted state of mind and a desire to escape from it. The use of "crawling insects" and "liquid capsules" to describe the individual's thoughts and fears paints a vivid and disturbing picture.
The song then addresses the question of whether the individual is really living, absent vital signs, and ends with the lines, "Sew this mind void. Shut your eyes child. It will all be over when the gun hits the ground. Thought knives cut these veins of hope as faith spills forth who noticed before? Lie, lies living in bloodless sores as blame spills forth who deserves to mourn?" The final lines suggest a desperation and violent desire for relief, with the individual ultimately questioning if anyone will mourn them when they're gone.

Sounds a lot like Information Society. This band has a pretty interesting sound. I like it.
