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/.

You Didn't Want Me
Mesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is why I've got no appetite
For fighting and biting.
For lying and sniping
For talking of one thing,
Then doing another
Blaming each other
I never meant to jeopardise my fun for you
Because you didn't want me
You never cried for me at all
You didn't love me
You were too fare above me
Then you watched me take the fall
Here is why I now contemplate
Here is why I should celebrate
No more hurting and using.
The spitting and bruising
Breaking a promise,
Saying I'm sorry
Pretending to worry
I never thought I'd have to take this much from you
I wish I'd never used this precious time on you
Because you didn't want me
In this song, Mesh is expressing his disappointment and frustration towards a past lover who never truly loved or cared for him. He sings about how he sacrificed a lot for this person, but in the end, it was all for nothing because they didn't want him. Mesh talks of how this person would talk about one thing and do another, and never took responsibility for their actions, instead choosing to blame others. He expresses his relief at no longer being hurt or used, and the freedom that comes with moving on from such a toxic relationship.
The lyrics in this song are a reflection of the pain and disappointment many people feel in relationships when they give all they have but find themselves unappreciated and undervalued. Mesh's use of metaphors such as "biting and fighting" and "spitting and bruising" brings into sharp focus how hurtful and damaging toxic relationships can be. The line "you were too far above me" speaks to the feeling of being unworthy that often follows being rejected or mistreated. Mesh's ultimate realization that he deserves better and his decision to move on from this person is a lesson that many can relate to.

This is why I'm alone tonight
The reason why I am alone tonight
This is why I've got no appetite
The reason why I am not hungry
For fighting and biting.
For aggressive and hurtful behavior
For lying and sniping
For deceitful and critical behavior
For talking of one thing,
For discussing one topic
Then doing another
But actually acting differently
Blaming each other
Accusing the other person
I never thought I'd sacrifice this much for you
I did not realize I would give up so much for you
I never meant to jeopardise my fun for you
I did not intend to put my happiness at risk for you
Because you didn't want me
Because you did not desire me
You never cried for me at all
You never shed any tears for me
You didn't love me
You did not have affection for me
You were too far above me
You were too superior to me
Then you watched me take the fall
And then you observed me face the consequences
Here is why I now contemplate
This is why I am reflecting on the situation
Here is why I should celebrate
This is why I have a reason to rejoice
No more hurting and using.
There will be no more pain or exploitation
The spitting and bruising
The verbal and physical harm
Breaking a promise,
Not keeping a commitment
Saying I'm sorry
Apologizing
Pretending to worry
Acting concerned when not actually caring
I never thought I'd have to take this much from you
I did not expect to endure so much from you
I wish I'd never used this precious time on you
I regret investing my valuable time in you
