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/.

The Bitter End
Mesh Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not ashamed
I'm not a critic
I'll never look up how the hell you did it
I'm not to blame
This isn't physics
We can't be lovers just because you said it

Every day is just the same

Watching as you play your game
And I just can't beat you

Can't you see we've reached the bitter end
Can't you see there's not much left to mend
Can't you see two lights collide
Talk the talk as you decide
Can't you see we've reached the bitter end

We're not the same
You're on a mission
You always beat me down into submission
I'm changing lanes
You're in the mirror
You've only got your feelings to consider

Every day you wind it up
Push me and you'll come unstuck
But it just starts over

Can't you see we've reached the bitter end
Can't you see there's not much left to mend
Can't you see two lights collide
Talk the talk as you decide
Can't you see we've reached the bitter end

There's a hole in your heart where
Something good must've been there
You need someone just like me
Only colder and empty

Every day is just the same
Watching as you play your game
And I just can't beat you

Can't you see we've reached the bitter end
Can't you see there's not much left to mend
Can't you see two lights collide
Talk the talk as you decide
Can't you see we've reached the bitter end
(Can't you see we've reached the bitter end)
Can't you see we've reached the bitter end
(Can't you see we've reached the bitter end)
Can't you see there's not much left to mend
(Can't you see we've reached the bitter end)
Can't you see two lights collide
(Can't you see we've reached the bitter end)
Talk the talk as you decide

Can't you see we've reached the bitter end
(Can't you see we've reached the bitter end)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mesh's song "The Bitter End" express a sense of resignation and disappointment in a romantic relationship that has reached a breaking point. The singer acknowledges that they are not perfect and not trying to be a critic of the other person, but also insists that they are not to blame for the relationship's failure. Despite the fact that the two individuals have different goals and desires, and that one person seems to always come out on top, the singer persists in trying to make the relationship work.

The repeated chorus of "Can't you see we've reached the bitter end" is a powerful and poignant plea to the other person to recognize that it's time to move on. The lyrics evoke the painful realization that sometimes, no matter how hard we try to make things work, relationships just don't have a happy ending. The image of "two lights collide" adds to this sense of inevitable destruction, and the idea that both parties must accept their responsibility for what has happened.

Overall, "The Bitter End" is a song that speaks to the universal human experience of love and loss. Its mournful melody and haunting lyrics capture the essence of a relationship on the brink of collapse, and its message of acceptance and moving on speaks to anyone who has ever struggled with the end of a love affair.
