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/.

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.

Only Better
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am not that strong
I've done nothing wrong to you
Only the weak defend me
Only the weak pretend that
You didn't waste all that time
You couldn't say you had all
You want only better
I tried making sense
I've got no defense
I lost all pretense for you
And only the loved believe me
And only the pure can't see that
You didn't waste all that time
To just leave forever
You couldn't say you had all
You want only better
And who would you say
Looks behind today?
And who would you say
Just looked the other way?
'Cause you didn't waste all that time
To just leave forever
You couldn't say you had all
You want only better
You didn't waste all that time
To just leave forever
You couldn't say you had all
Only the weak pretend that
You
And only the loved believe me
And only the pure can't see that
You didn't waste all that time
To just leave forever
You couldn't say you had all
And only the weak pretend that
You didn't waste all that time
To just leave forever
You couldn't say you had all
And only the weak pretend that
The song "Only Better" by Mesh is a melancholic reflection on a failed romantic relationship, where the singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of their relationship. The lyrics suggest a sense of hurt and confusion, as the singer tries to make sense of what went wrong while also acknowledging their own shortcomings. The repeated refrain of "You didn't waste all that time, to just leave forever" highlights the singer's sense of betrayal and disbelief that their partner would suddenly leave without explanation.
The first verse establishes the singer's feeling of vulnerability, as they admit that they are not strong and have done nothing wrong to their partner. The second verse introduces the idea that only the weak defend the singer, suggesting that their reputation has been unfairly tarnished in the aftermath of the breakup. The chorus repeats the idea that the partner left the relationship because they wanted something better, while the bridge questions whether anyone will truly understand the singer's perspective on the situation.
Overall, "Only Better" is a raw and emotional expression of heartbreak, with the lyrics capturing the complexity of trying to move on from a broken relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
I've done nothing wrong
I know I haven't done anything to harm you
I am not that strong
I don't have the strength to fight you
I've done nothing wrong to you
I have no intention of hurting you
Only the weak defend me
Only those without strength come to my defense
Only the weak pretend that
They are only pretending to show their support
You didn't waste all that time
You didn't spend all that time with me for no reason
To just leave forever
To just disappear without any explanation
You couldn't say you had all
You must have wanted something more
You want only better
You seek for something that is better than what we had
I tried making sense
I attempted to understand but failed
I've got no defense
I have no valid excuse or argument
I lost all pretense for you
I am no longer pretending to be someone I am not, for you
And only the loved believe me
Only those who truly love me, believe in me
And only the pure can't see that
Those who are innocent can't see through my facade
And who would you say looks behind today?
Who cares enough to look back to yesterday
And who would you say just looked the other way?
Who decided to ignore our problems
Only the weak pretend that
Those who lack strength pretend to care
You didn't waste all that time
You spent all that time with me for a reason
To just leave forever
To just disappear without any explanation
You couldn't say you had all
You must have wanted something more
Only the weak pretend that
Those who lack strength pretend to care
You didn't waste all that time
You spent all that time with me for a reason
To just leave forever
To just disappear without any explanation
You couldn't say you had all
You must have wanted something more
