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/.

The Place You Hide
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the tension makes the air so blue
I would never have the time
To watch you every day and night but,
Maybe if I let myself
Come down from this dusty shelf
You're messing with my head again
Got me seeing red again, so
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more
Though I couldn't ask of you,
Something I could never do
Thought I couldn't ever need
Someone that would make me plead so
Wish that I could pace myself
Instead I could erase myself
A conscience in a big glass jar
I never thought I'd get this far, so
Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more
Do you regret the times you've prayed?
It's not the things you took
But the things that you've thrown away
Still, I knew it all
Take me to the place you hide
Where the truth belongs outside
Tell me all I need to hear
All you want and all you fear
Take me to the place you love
Where we fit like heavens glove
Take the pictures off the wall
And make me feel there's nothing more
The above lyrics are from Mesh's song "The Place You Hide," a track that is prominently featured on their 2006 album, "We Collide." In the song, the lyricist addresses a romantic interest with whom they are experiencing tension, but for whom they feel a strong attraction. The singer acknowledges their inability to fall completely for this person but is emotionally drawn to them nonetheless.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with their complex feelings towards their subject. They express that they would never have the time to obsess over this person, yet they seem to be doing just that. Furthermore, this person seems to be teasing or leading the singer on, as evidenced by the line: "You're messing with my head again, got me seeing red again." The chorus is a plea for the person to take the singer to the place they hide, where the truth and their desires can be exposed. The lyrics suggest a desire for intimacy and emotional authenticity, even if it means facing fears and being vulnerable.
Overall, "The Place You Hide" is an intricate and emotionally charged song that speaks to the complexity of human relationships and the struggle to reconcile our inner selves with the outside world.
Line by Line Meaning
I could never fall for you
I'm not capable of falling in love with you
But the tension makes the air so blue
Despite my lack of romantic feelings, there's undeniable chemistry between us
I would never have the time
I'm too busy to constantly observe you
To watch you every day and night but,
Despite that, I find myself drawn to you
Maybe if I let myself
Perhaps if I allow myself to be vulnerable
Come down from this dusty shelf
If I let my guard down
You're messing with my head again
You have a hold on me that I can't fully comprehend
Got me seeing red again, so
You're making me feel intense emotions
Take me to the place you hide
Show me your true self, your innermost thoughts and feelings
Where the truth belongs outside
Let's be honest and open with each other
Tell me all I need to hear
Say exactly what's on your mind
All you want and all you fear
Don't hold back anything, even your deepest desires and fears
Take me to the place you love
Take me to the place that feels like home to you
Where we fit like heavens glove
Where we fit together perfectly
Take the pictures off the wall
Strip away all the external factors and simply be with me
And make me feel there's nothing more
Let me feel content and complete with just being with you
Though I couldn't ask of you,
I don't want to burden you
Something I could never do
I can't bring myself to ask for what I really want
Thought I couldn't ever need
I didn't think I could ever depend on someone else
Someone that would make me plead so
Someone who would make me feel so intensely that I would beg for their love
Wish that I could pace myself
I wish I could control my feelings and emotions
Instead I could erase myself
Instead, I feel like I'm losing a part of myself
A conscience in a big glass jar
I feel trapped and exposed, like my true intentions are on display for everyone to see
I never thought I'd get this far, so
I never expected to feel such intense emotions for someone else
Do you regret the times you've prayed?
Have you ever wished for something that never came true?
It's not the things you took
It's not the material possessions that matter
But the things that you've thrown away
It's the opportunities you've missed, the chances you've let slip away
Still, I knew it all
Despite my mistakes, I learned from them

Nigdy nie wiesz kiedy coś na Ciebie spadnie, ale całe napięcie sprawia, że powietrze jest niebieskie, Nigdy nie ma czasu, aby obejrzeć się za siebie za dnia czy nocy,ale może jesli pozwolę sobie zejść z zakurzonej półki z nieuporządkowaną głową, wtedy zobaczę wszystko czerwone jeszcze raz, zabierz mnie do ukrytego miejsca gdzie prawda jest poza nami, powiedz mi wszystko co chcę usłyszeć, wszystko co chcesz i wszystko co straszne, Zabierz mnie do miejsca, w którym miłość pasuje jak rękawiczka
