By the year 2010 MSWHITE was a standout band in the Italian underground music scene, working hard to book gigs while also managing school and jobs. After recording a single to post online the world took notice. Gigs were booked around Italy and after two tours, the band headed to Fusix Studio to record 3 brand new tracks. Those songs attracted the attention of The Artery Foundation, a company that manages such genre-defining bands as Attack Attack!, Dance Gavin Dance, The Devil Wears Prada, and Emarosa.
For a year and a half The Artery Foundation kept close tabs on the band carefully watching to see how it developed. During that time the group toured Italy and Europe nonstop, even playing major European festival Horrorfest in Belgium. An LP was in the works when Dave Shapiro of The Agency Group contacted the band and made them an offer they couldn’t refuse, signing them to his new label Velocity Records, in conjunction with Rise Records. The band spent May and June 2010 working in the studio on new songs with producer Andrea Fusini.
Their debut full-length album Squares was released September 28, 2010, and the band relocated to Florida to further their career in America.
On May 31, 2011, MSWHITE posted a note on their Facebook page explaining their disbandment. During their first American tour with Enter Shikari and Haste the Day, the band was deported from the United States, and due to immigration issues they were blocked from playing abroad, which led to their breakup.
Sinking Nowhere Over The Wisdom
MsWhite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There in the sky
Like stars, x3
And as a shadow covering fields
As a piano over flutes
You cover all you cover all
With your shining glare in your presence everything use to bow
And disappear
Touching, falling, down on the world
Views fade away to lines
Leveling the differences
Human pride is defeated
Unlike men become peer just by
Watching you
You can let us be nothing
More than what we really are
Cause you have always been a part of that moments
When love meets the air
And kisses leave us pale and kisses leave us pale
This is what link you with humans
You can die tasting every step
Before crashing down again
Unlike turns to equal by
Watching you
You can let us be nothing
More than what we really are
Views fade away to lines
Leveling the differences
Human pride is defeated
Unlike men become peer just by
Falling, down on the world
You fall slowly drawing dots
There in the sky
Like stars, x3
And as a shadow covering fields
You cover all you cover all
With your shining glare in your presence everything use to bow.
And kisses leave us pale. x2
The lyrics to MsWhite's song "Sinking Nowhere Over The Wisdom" are enigmatic and open to interpretation. One possible interpretation is that the song is about the power and beauty of nature. The "you" in the lyrics refers to perhaps a celestial body like the sun or moon, with its "shining glare" that "covers all" and makes everything "bow." The reference to "drawing dots" and "stars" in the sky emphasizes this idea.
The lyrics also suggest that this power can bring people together and make them see themselves as equal, "leveling the differences" and defeating "human pride." The imagery of "kisses leave us pale" suggests a sense of awe or even spiritual connection with the natural world.
Overall, the lyrics are poetic and atmospheric, creating a sense of wonder and reverence for the natural world.

Now this is a great song. It even went so far as to inspire me so much that I was hearing where I wanted the song to go and it kinda distracted me from appreciating it to its full potential. I take that as a good thing. These guys did a good job on this one
