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/.

Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then i could know how to love you.
If i could just see inside your head
I would know who to be instead.
But it wouldn't be me.
It wouldn't be me.
But just a word from you would change me.
If i could just peel the skin from you,
Then i would know how to touch you.
Give you my hands like lovers do.
I would know where to lead you.
But would you ever come with me?
Would you ever come with me?
I couldn't take your hand and lead you nowhere.
Inside, nothing stays the same.
It's like a race to the one who takes the blame.
In your eyes, i see the lies unfold.
That's not the way that the story's meant to go.
If i could be there to pull you through,
You could use your nails to save you.
If i could be the one who really knew,
The one you need to tell your secrets to.
Do you feel but resist?
Do you feel but resist?
Do you know i exist?
Could you ever want me like this?
Inside, nothing stays the same.
It's like a race to the one who takes the blame.
In your eyes, i see the lies unfold.
That's not the way that the story's meant to go.
In the dark, it's right
In the dead of night,
But it spills away,
In the light of day
The lyrics of Mesh’s song In the Light of Day explore the singer’s desire to understand and connect with someone they love. The first two stanzas establish a sense of longing and confusion, as the singer imagines what it would be like to experience their loved one’s emotions and thoughts. They believe that if they could become someone else, someone more like the person they love, then they could show them the love they deserve. However, they also fear that changing themselves in this way would mean losing their own identity.
The third stanza shifts to a more desperate tone, as the singer wishes they could physically connect with their loved one, to know how to touch them and lead them. They recognize, however, that true connection requires mutual desire and trust, and worry that they might lead their loved one astray. The fourth stanza touches on the idea that people can change and grow, but only with the help of others who believe in them. The final stanza suggests that the darkness of the night provides a temporary refuge, but that the light of day brings clarity and truth. The song ends on this note of uncertainty, leaving the listener wondering whether the singer’s desire for connection will be fulfilled.

In the dark, it's right
When we're alone and free from outside influences, our connection feels right and real.
In the dead of night,
When everything is silent and still, our emotions and desires are more clear and honest.
But it spills away,
But as soon as the light of day returns, our doubts and fears come back and we feel hesitant about our connection.
In the light of day
When we're faced with the harsh realities of the world and the stresses of our everyday lives.
