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/.

Open Up The Ground
Mesh Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Let's open up the ground and disappear)

I can't see how we came together
And I can't see how we're blown apart
I still know how to make you happy
I just don't know why I break your heart

I can't say we're all right

It's just some days we can't fight
I need you here
Let's open up the ground and disappear

Do we run if the road goes nowhere?
Do we push if there's no way out?
Should we break if our minds are lifeless?
Do we care how it all turns out?

I can't say we're all right
It's just some days we can't fight
I need you here
Let's open up the ground and disappear

I can't say we're wiped out
There's just no time to find out
I need you here
Let's open up the ground and disappear

We can't stop now
We don't know how any more
It's all or nothing, and now's the time
There's too much that's yours and mine
Yours and mine
Yours and mine
Yours and mine

I can't say we're all right
It's just some days we can't fight
I need you here
Let's open up the ground and disappear

I can't say we're wiped out
There's just no time to find out
I need you here
Let's open up the ground and disappear

(We can't stop now) I can't say
(We don't know how) We're all right
(Any more) It's just some days we can't fight
(It's all or nothing, and now's the time) I need you here
(There's too much that's yours and mine) Let's open up the ground and disappear

(We can't stop now) I can't say
(We don't know how) We're wiped out
(Any more) There's just no time to find out
(It's all or nothing, and now's the time) I need you here
(There's too much that's yours and mine) Let's open up the ground and disappear

We can't stop now
We don't know how any more

It's all or nothing, and now's the time
There's too much that's yours and mine

Overall Meaning

In Mesh's song "Open Up The Ground", the lyrics seem to revolve around a relationship that's strained and in need of repairing. The opening lines, "I can't see how we came together / And I can't see how we're blown apart" suggest that no matter how hard they try, it's difficult for the couple to understand how they got to this point. However, the following lines "I still know how to make you happy / I just don't know why I break your heart" give the impression that there's still love present but perhaps a lack of understanding or communication in the relationship causing issues.

Throughout the rest of the song, the lyrics express questions about what to do when things become difficult, conflicted or confusing, such as "Do we run if the road goes nowhere? / Do we push if there's no way out?" but ultimately, they come back to a plea for unity, saying "I need you here / Let's open up the ground and disappear". The lyrics suggest that sometimes, when things are tough, it's hard to know what to do or where to go, but at the end of the day, all they want is to be together and find a solution, even if that means disappearing into the earth together.

Overall, the lyrics of "Open Up The Ground" convey a complex and powerful message about the struggles of relationships and the need for unity, even in the toughest of times.
