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/.

So Important
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A lie so terrible
Took it in a thousand ways
Took from me the best of days
I wish it wasn't so important
Cause I could look away
I wish it only mattered sometimes
Friend of mine, you misery was occupied
Faded away, kill me softly everyday
I wish it wasn't so important
Cause I could look away
I wish it only mattered sometimes
I hope it doesn't matter one day
I'm telling you I'm never giving you this chance again
And all I can do is abandon this whole war of blame
I'm a fool
I should have never been so gullible
Maybe it was long ago
But I can hate you more than you could know
I wish it wasn't so important
Cause I could look away
I wish it only mattered sometimes
I hope it doesn't matter one day
"So Important" by Mesh is a song about betrayal and redemption. The lyrics delve into the pain and resentment that comes with a deep sense of loss and betrayal. The opening lines "Incredible, A lie so terrible, Took it in a thousand ways, Took from me the best of days" paint a picture of someone who has been deceived in the most unimaginable way. The pain is so deep that they are at a loss for words, they cannot comprehend what has happened to them. The chorus, "I wish it wasn't so important, Cause I could look away, I wish it only mattered sometimes, I hope it doesn't matter one day" speaks to the difficulty of letting go of the pain. The person wishes they didn't care so much, but they do, they wish they could look away and not be haunted by the memories of what happened.
The second verse talks about the struggle to move on and the desire for the pain to end. "Friend of mine, your misery was occupied, Faded away, kill me softly everyday" shows the impact of the betrayal on the person's life, how it has affected their relationships and their ability to trust. The chorus repeats, but it is infused with a sense of desperation and finality. "I'm telling you I'm never giving you this chance again, And all I can do is abandon this whole war of blame" shows that the person has reached their limit, they can't take any more pain and they are ready to walk away, they don't want to fight anymore.
Overall, "So Important" is a song about the complexity of human emotions, the power of betrayal, and the struggle to let go of the past. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced pain and loss, and who has struggled to move on and find closure.
