4. Modus is an Alternative / Indie / Progressive-Rock band from NY, USA.
5. Under the same name, also a Scottish mod band.
Modus is the sort of band that makes accurate description difficult. They manage to create a sound that is totally unique to themselves. One does catch glimpses of their progressive influences such as Genesis/Peter Gabriel. This band certainly has the knack for creative song-writing in that one song may have a jazzy vibe with soul, while another song surprises you with it’s heaviness and raw emotion. Despite the varying styles, the music manages to maintain it’s continuity. Fans of Tool, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Coldplay, Pink Floyd, and Genesis will definitely get into this.
6. Under the name too, a lithuainian dark electronica band.
Eraser
Modus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No accidents?
What if our lives just
Make no sense?
Conscious of motion
That is never clear.
It seems that I've been
Never been so tired,
Never felt so laid back.
Pieces of dreams sold
In trials by fire.
If there is no truth
Then who is the liar?
Cause it only takes
One moment
One last careless fall
From grace
To take everything
That matters
And just throw it all away.
What if the angels
Fell to the earth
And had to admin
They had no worth?
For all of the all
That I used to be
Has slowly been taken
Away from me
And what if the ending
Is not so sweet?
Just tired and torn
And incomplete.
And what if there is
Nothing I can say,
To ever erase
The mistakes I've made?
Cause it only takes
One moment
One last careless fall
From grace
To take everything
That matters
And just throw it all away
The lyrics of Modus's song Eraser contemplate the nature of life and the possibility that certain things may not have a reason or purpose. The singer questions whether accidents truly exist or if our lives simply have no sense. They reflect on the feeling of being stuck, of standing still for years, and the exhaustion that comes with it. The lyrics also address the idea of truth and the difficulty in discerning who is the liar when the truth is unclear. The song then speaks to the idea that one careless mistake can cause us to lose everything that matters, despite it taking a lifetime to build.
The lyrics also explore the idea of angels falling to the earth and discovering their own worthlessness. The singer laments on the loss of their former self and the feeling of incompleteness that comes with it. They question if the end will be sweet, or if it will instead be a tired and torn existence, incapable of erasing past mistakes. The song finishes by repeating the sentiment that one careless moment can throw everything away, emphasizing the importance of cherishing the present moment and being mindful of our actions.
