1) Mesh is a synthpop/… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Mesh is a synthpop/ebm group, hailing from Bristol, England, UK consisting of Mark Hockings and Richard Silverthorn. Neil Taylor was in Mesh from their conception in 1991 until 2005. Their music is described by their official website as "somewhere between synthpop and EBM". Personally they prefer the term 'Electro rock'.
Mesh were discovered largely as a result of Future Music releasing their first three demo songs on a compilation. Holding a large amount of distaste for major label business, the trio chose to form their own label titled Tolerance Records, which released their first EP "Fragile" in 1993. Soon after circulation, the band signed to Memento Materia and re-released the EP. Mesh followed "Fragile" with the album "In This Place Forever", which included the popular single "You Didn't Want Me."
1999 saw the release of "The Point At Which It Falls Apart", which the official bio cites as "certainly the best work that the band had produced to date. It is a rich and emotional album, and shows the threesome taking their music to a new level."
In 2000, Mesh signed distribution agreements with Metropolis Records in order to pursue US appeal, an arrangement which ultimately fizzled out. In 2002 the band switched labels yet again to release "Who Watches Over Me?" on Columbia (a Sony subsidiary).
In 2006 Mesh signed to the German label Königskinder after leaving Columbia. To date neither "Who Watches Over Me?" or "We Collide" have been released on an American label.
In April 2006, the album "We Collide" was released in Europe to generally positive reviews and good chart positions in Germany. In 2007 the band released the DVD "The World's a Big Place", with live performances and interviews from their "We Collide" Tour.
November 3 2009 saw the release of their tenth album "A Perfect Solution" which featured a more synth gritty rock sound rather than previous ones, it spawned 2 singles, first single "Only Better" (which a promotional video was made for) followed by second single "How Long".
Two years later, the band released "An Alternative Solution" which contains all tracks remixes of their latest album by bands like Zeromancer, Assemblage 23 among others.
September 29 2012 the band announces their new album 'Automation Baby' that will be expected in february 2013. Fans can follow the production process with little 'Making of' clips on the bands Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/meshtheband/.
2) Mesh is a Dutch progressive-trance artist, real name Jack Molenschot who records for "In Trance We Trust", a sub-label of the Tiesto-owned Black Hole Recordings.
Jack Molenschot also records using the names of Freejack and Future Vibe.
3) Mesh was a Swiss postpunk band in existence from 1981 -1992. They released one album called "Claustrophobia LP," and several tapes releases during their career.

Four Walls
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're tearing off the wings of all my unprotected dreams for nothing
I'll keep holding on
But I'm running out of nails over everything that's ever failed within me
Stop the aging soon
Because I'm running out of time at the very point I need the clock behind me
Alone in this room
It never falls in your hands
You get a page of the big plan
In a world that injects grey
If you still keep your head straight
In a world that protects bland
Big noise from a small band
Take the knives at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls
You'll fill the clubs to the four wallsâ?¦
Here's the justice God
I'm sifting through the words and re-arranging them in verse for someone
I might be alone
But I'm praying for the spark that might illuminate the dark for someone
It never falls in your hands
You get a page of the big plan
In a world that injects grey
If you still keep your head straight
In a world that protects bland
Big noise from a small band
Take the knives at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls
Is it really worth it?
You know it's worth the sacrifice of everything
It doesn't come to us all
You get a buzz when the track falls
In a time that expects grace
You can cry if you're first place
In a world that protects fools
From the day that you leave school
You take the bribes at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls
It never falls in your hands
You get a page of the big plan
In a world that injects grey
If you still keep your head straight
In a world that protects bland
Big noise from a small band
Take the knives at the back door
And fill the clubs to the four walls
You'll fill the clubs to the four walls
Is it really worth it?
You know it's worth the sacrifice of everything
The song "Four Walls" by Mesh is a reflection on the struggles of life and the desire for success and fulfillment. The lyrics suggest a feeling of hopelessness and frustration as the singer questions their path in life and the role of a higher power in determining it. They feel as though their dreams are being stripped away without reason and that they are constantly battling against failure. Despite this, they maintain hope and continue to hold on, searching for a spark that will light their way out of the darkness. The lyrics also touch on themes of conformity and the pressure to conform to society's standards, while longing for the freedom to express oneself.
The repeated line "It never falls in your hands, you get a page of the big plan" hints at the idea that the singer believes their life is predetermined and out of their control. The reference to filling the clubs to the four walls could also be interpreted as a metaphor for filling one's life with distractions and entertainment to avoid confronting the emptiness and lack of fulfillment they feel. Ultimately, the song challenges the listener to question their own desires and goals in life and whether they are truly worth sacrificing everything for.
