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/.

I Can't Imagine How It Hurts
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll always see your silent tears
Violence is the way you live
The future's nothing left to give
I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't begin to find the words
And all the things I've ever done
If I could make it go away
I would be there every day for you
Take my hands and squeeze them tight
And I will kiss your pain goodnight
I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't begin to find the words
And all the things I've ever done
Seem like nothing now
And in the nightmares you run away
You'll always come to the same decision
When the feelings tear like they won't repair
But we'll break it together I swear
I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't begin to find the words
And all the things I've ever done
Seem like nothing now
I can't imagine it happening
I close my eyes but it won't go away
I can't imagine it happening
I tell myself that it's so far away
I hate myself that you're so far away
I hate myself that you're so far away
The song “I Can’t Imagine How It Hurts” by Mesh is a powerful and emotional song that delves into the theme of domestic violence. The lyrics express deep concern for a loved one who is experiencing violence regularly. The first stanza speaks about how the singer is painfully aware of the silent tears of the victim, and concludes that the future holds nothing if the cycle of relationship violence is not broken. The chorus is a lament that the singer can neither imagine the extent of the victim's pain nor find words that suffice in expressing it. The singer wishes they could take away the hurt and be there for the victim all the time, offering support and comfort.
The second stanza shifts into a dream-like sequence, where it is revealed that the victim often dreams of escaping the violent relationship. However, they always return to the same decision, indicating how complex it can be for someone to break free from abuse. The chorus is repeated, and the song ends with the singer hating themselves for being unable to help, unable to reach out and protect their loved one.
The song is a stark commentary on the debilitating consequences of domestic violence on the victims as well as the witnesses. It portrays how the survivors of the violence are isolated and often trapped in a cycle of abuse, holding them back from seeking help. The song emphasizes how someone in this dire situation needs complete support and care from the people they love to break free from this vicious cycle.

If I live a hundred years
Even if I live for an entire century
I'll always see your silent tears
I will always see you silently crying
Violence is the way you live
You live in a violent way
The future's nothing left to give
The future seems to have nothing to offer
I can't imagine how it hurts
I can't fathom the pain you're feeling
I can't begin to find the words
I can't find the right words to express myself
And all the things I've ever done
Everything I have done in the past
Seem like nothing now
Feels insignificant in comparison now
If I could make it go away
If I had the power to make it disappear
I would be there every day for you
I would be there for you every day
Take my hands and squeeze them tight
Hold onto my hands tightly
And I will kiss your pain goodnight
I will try to make your pain go away by soothing you to sleep with my love
And in the nightmares you run away
You run away in your nightmares
You'll always come to the same decision
You always end up making the same decision
When the feelings tear like they won't repair
When the feelings seem to be broken beyond repair
But we'll break it together I swear
But we will overcome it together, I promise
I can't imagine it happening
I can't imagine that happening
I close my eyes but it won't go away
I try to make it disappear by closing my eyes, but it still remains
I tell myself that it's so far away
I console myself by saying that it's far away
I hate myself that you're so far away
I hate myself because you're so far away
I hate myself that you're so far away
I hate myself because you're so far away
