2. Merge was founded by Guitarist Julien in 2011. After a bunch of shows played the same year, the band took a new start bringing in ‘Trapped by Stereo’s’ singer, Anthony, for what becomes a turning point in the band’s history. As the band writes their first tracks they get the chance to open for bands such as Dance Gavin Dance, La Dispute and Touche Amore.
In March 2012 Merge release their debut EP “Transmission” followed by a series of shows at venues all around France, and their reputation increased rapidly thanks to solid live performances. At the end of 2012 the band announced through their facebook page their debut album produced by Matt Goldman (Underoath, The Chariot, As Cities Burn...) to be release on fall 2013.

Twice
Merge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tearing all my hair out time to time
Married with your work for I believe our destiny
Dial a number dial another one me
There is no harm in trying
There is no risk in life
Twice in your life you've been running
To the wrong way years ago
The years dictated changes in your life
Where even dreams are covered deep inside
I can hear her crying for the deep black sea
Dial a number dial another for me
There is no harm in trying
There is no risk in life
Twice in your life you've been running
To the wrong way years ago
Touch my breath and you are running far away
In Merge's song "Twice", the lyrics are telling a story of hiding an alternative side of oneself while being committed to a work-oriented marriage. The singer is feeling frustrated and anxious, to the point of tearing their hair out at times. They believe in destiny but are still looking for something, as shown by their continuous dialing of phone numbers. The chorus emphasizes that there is no harm in trying and no risk in life, while also pointing out how the singer has run down the wrong path twice before.
The line "touch my breath and you are far away" portrays an intimacy that can transport the listener elsewhere, as if a momentary escape from reality. The years have brought changes, making dreams difficult to achieve, as the singer hears someone crying for the deep black sea. The song ends with the repeated idea that there is no harm in trying and no risk in life, while the listener continues to run far away.
Overall, the lyrics of the song seem to show the inner turmoil and struggle of the singer, who seeks a deeper connection in life but is confined by societal norms and expectations. The repeated phrase about running down the wrong path twice suggests that the singer feels trapped in a cycle of unhappiness but is seeking a way out.

Sad that they don’t do joint choruses anymore. The song would have sounded more powerful.
