Gold Coast rockers Mourning Tide… Read Full Bio ↴Gold Coast, Australia: 2000-present
Gold Coast rockers Mourning Tide began in 2000, as four friends with the same vision: to be the most entertaining and unique band in the emerging hardcore/metal scene. Touring hard and partying harder has earned them a strong local following on the East Coast.
In 2003, Mourning Tide released their successful self-titled debut EP, through Modern Music/Sony/BMG. From this success, Mourning Tide have supported and toured with international guests - Eighteen Visions, Every Time I Die, Strung Out, Soilwork, Throwdown, On Broken Wings, Cro Mags and hometown boys - Parkway Drive, I Killed the Prom Queen, and After The Fall.
Although Mourning Tide has been through a major line-up change within the last year, the change has been welcomed, inspiring the members to take on a new direction with their material.
August 2006 saw the arrival of Mourning Tide's highly anticipated debut full-length entitled, Trash 'N' Burn. Trash 'N' Burn is an explosive album, fusing brutality, glamour & sleazy rock. While maintaining the ferocious and intense metal sound of their self-titled EP, the new album sees a triumphant return to early 80's rock n roll, complete with wailing guitar solos and dirty rock vocals.
With a loyal fan base continuing to grow Australia-wide and a reputation for their blistering live shows, Mourning Tide have produced a mind-blowing LP, that will dazzle their current fans and excite new listeners looking for something out of the ordinary.

Mourning Tide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't you see I don't want to go
I'm addicted to you
Can't sleep alone
Doctor say's I got a fever
Running hot and it's from you
I can't get my heart to slow down
The first time I ever saw you
Hit me like a runaway train
I'm still on that locomotive
Next stop your heart
You're as sweet as sugar
Sugar sugar you are the one
Will you be with me forever
You are the bomb
Even if your face was bitten off by a crocodile
You'd still be the most beautiful girl in the world to me
No matter what I will always be there for you
But I'd kill that crocodile and make a handbag for you
You're as sweet as sugar
Sugar sugar you are the one...
Even if your face was bitten off by a crocodile
You'd still be the most beautiful girl in the world to me
No matter what I will always be there for you
But I'd kill that crocodile and make a handbag for you
I'm addicted to you
I'm addicted to you
I'm addicted to you
I'm addicted to you
Goddamn you're fine
Goddamn
The lyrics to Mourning Tide's song Sugar Sugar express a deep sense of infatuation and obsession with someone the singer is in love with. The first stanza expresses the idea that the singer is unable to leave this person and is addicted to their presence. The line "can't sleep alone" implies that the singer needs their partner's company to feel at ease. The mention of the fever, which the singer attributes to their lover, shows that this attraction is beyond their control and has a physical manifestation. The chorus with the repetition of "You're as sweet as sugar" points towards the irresistible nature of this attraction, and the question of whether this person will be with them forever implies a sense of desperation and uncertainty.
The second stanza gives a glimpse into how the intoxicating nature of this person hit the singer "like a runaway train" and how they are still riding that train towards the "next stop your heart." The lyrics imply that the person's sweetness is almost too much to handle, hence the allusion to getting love-sick. Additionally, the stanza creates an image of how much the person means to them, emphasising that the person's beauty goes beyond physical characteristics. The repetition of "even if your face was bitten off by a crocodile" creates an image of how they are willing to go to great lengths to prove their affection towards the person.
Overall, Sugar Sugar showcases how the singer is consumed with passion, willing to do anything to keep the person they love close. The lyrics are both intense and somewhat humorous, creating a conflicting yet charming love song.
