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 Way I Feel
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought you would be the sun
In this worn out place
In this dark and lonely space
I didn't expect a second chance
I never gave you a second glance
I'm an empty man
And you can see the face of God in everything
It's not the way I want it to be
It's not the way I planned it
And you can see the face of God in everything
It's not the way I want it to be
It's not the way I planned it
But it's the way I feel
I never thought this would be your role
I never thought you could save my soul
With your flag unfurted
In this cold and godless world
Nothing was further from my mind
I've never been cruel, but I'm not kind
It's a 'hard knock life'
It's a one stop, one-way life
And you can see the face of God in everything
It's not the way I want it to be
It's not the way I planned it
And you can see the face of God in everything
It's not the way I want it to be
It's not the way I planned it
But it's the way I feel
It's the way I feel
Mesh's song The Way I Feel is an introspective track filled with contradictory emotions. The opening lines reveal a sense of surprise as the singer confesses to never have thought that the person in question would be able to bring light to their dark and lonely world. The somber tone of the song continues as the singer admits to having never given this person a second glance and being an empty man in a broken land. However, despite the seeming despair, the singer also acknowledges that they can see the face of God in everything. This suggests a deep sense of gratitude towards the person who has brought about this change and a newfound appreciation for the world around them.
The chorus that repeats twice in the song highlights the song's central theme of contradiction. The singer admits that the situation is not how they would have wanted it to be or planned it, but it is the way they feel. It encapsulates the complexity of emotions that come with change and the difficulty in finding a balance between one's desires and reality.
The second verse of the song reveals more about the singer's character by stating that while they have never been cruel, they are not exactly kind either. This emphasizes their reluctance to be vulnerable and to let someone in. The singer then acknowledges the world's cold and godless existence, indicating the intense struggle they must have had before finally accepting the person in question's help.
Overall, The Way I Feel is a representation of the challenging emotions that can arise when one experiences profound change. It delves deep into contrasting sentiments of surprise, gratitude, despair, and fear, making it a deeply introspective and moving song.

I never thought you would be the one
I didn't expect you to be the person to change my life
I never thought you would be the sun
I didn't think you would bring light into my life
In this worn out place
In this place that has lost its shine
In this dark and lonely space
In this place full of despair and isolation
I didn't expect a second chance
I never thought I would get another opportunity
I never gave you a second glance
I never paid attention to you before
I'm an empty man
I'm feeling unfulfilled
In a bitter, broken land
In a harsh and damaged environment
And you can see the face of God in everything
You can find God's presence in everything around us
It's not the way I want it to be
It's not the way I envisioned it
It's not the way I planned it
It's not how I expected it to go
But it's the way I feel
But nevertheless, these are my genuine emotions
I never thought this would be your role
I didn't expect you to be the one to save me
I never thought you could save my soul
I didn't believe anyone could help me to feel fulfilled
With your flag unfurted
With your strengths displayed openly and boldly
In this cold and godless world
In this world that can be harsh and empty without a higher power
Nothing was further from my mind
I could have never imagined it
I've never been cruel, but I'm not kind
I haven't purposefully hurt anyone, but I haven't been particularly caring either
It's a 'hard knock life'
It's a tough and difficult existence
It's a one stop, one-way life
This life is short and we only get one chance at it
