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/.

Walk of Shame
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because all of this is real
Tell me why you thought
Just the ordinary get caught
When you kicked that stray around
It couldn’t fight you
Now that dog has tasted love
All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
Why a man like you,
With everything to lose?
Wasn’t it the same,
The love that made your name?
When you kicked that stray around
It couldn’t fight you
Now that dog has tasted love
It’s going to bite you
All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
It just makes no sense to me
You were someone I’d want to be
Like a standard for decency
Just how wrong can my judgement be?
All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
All things remain
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? Where are your friends now?)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
It’s just another day
It’s just another walk of shame
The lyrics of the song "Walk of Shame" by Mesh seem to be directed towards someone who has done something wrong or hurtful, and the singer of the song is trying to make sense of it all. They ask the person to share their feelings and thoughts about what happened because they want to understand why this seemingly ordinary person made a mistake that could cost them everything.
The imagery of the kicked stray dog that has now tasted love and will bite back is used to warn the person that their actions will have consequences. The chorus repeats the phrase "It’s just another day, it’s just another walk of shame," almost as if the singer is belittling the situation and pointing out how this is just another mistake that people make all the time. However, the line "Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown" adds a darker tone to the song, suggesting that perhaps the person has lost the support of those around them.
The final verse reveals the singer's confusion as they try to reconcile the person they thought they knew with the one who has done wrong. They wonder how they could have misjudged this person so badly and question their own sense of morality.
Overall, the song seems to be about the fallout of making a mistake and the process of coming to terms with it. The imagery of the kicked dog and the repeated chorus create a sense of inevitability and resignation, while the final verse suggests that there is still room for questioning and understanding.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell me what you feel
Express your emotions honestly
Because all of this is real
This is not a fantasy, it's the truth
Tell me why you thought
Explain your reasoning
Just the ordinary get caught
Even average people get exposed for their wrongdoings
When you kicked that stray around
When you mistreated someone or something weaker than you
It couldn’t fight you
The victim had no way to defend themselves against your abuse
Now that dog has tasted love
Your cruelty has hurt someone who once cared about you, and they'll never forget it
It’s going to bite you
You'll face the consequences of your actions in the future
All things remain
Nothing has really changed
It’s just another day
This is just another instance of the same old cycle
It’s just another walk of shame
You're exposed for your wrongdoing and feeling embarrassed
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
You can't rely on your buddies to rescue you when you need them
Why a man like you,
You're someone people thought highly of
With everything to lose?
You had so much going for you, why risk it all?
Wasn’t it the same,
Didn't you have a similar experience before?
The love that made your name?
Your reputation was built on the positive relationships you once had
It just makes no sense to me
I can't understand why you would do this
You were someone I’d want to be
I used to admire you
Like a standard for decency
I thought you were a role model for good behavior
Just how wrong can my judgement be?
I was mistaken about who you really are
(Where are your friends now? Where are your friends now?)
Your buddies are nowhere to be found when you need them
(Where are your friends now? I hope they let you drown)
Your so-called friends won't come to your rescue
