Na wiosnę 2007 r. zespół nagrywa swoja pierwszą piosenkę w DBX studio i stara się koncertować w Warszawie i okolicach (m.in. w edycjach Warsaw Punk Attack i na piaseczyńskim przeglądzie zespołów PEPE). W środku wakacji tego samego roku NER-W znów wchodzi do studia, żeby nagrać kolejne 4 piosenki i tak powstaje pierwsze demo "Zmiana zasad gry..", które zostaje za darmo umieszczone w internecie. Tuż po nagraniu materiału Max wyjeżdża na rok za granicę, a jego miejsce na roczne zastępstwo zajmuje Wszoku, z którym zespół zalicza kolejne koncerty ( m. in. na przeglądzie Maximum Rock'nRoll i 10-leciu zina Liberation). Na jesieni w Q-studio rozpoczynają się nagrania kolejnego dema, które zostaje zakończone dopiero na wiosnę i udostępnione w internecie.
Mija rok i w czerwcu 2008 r. do składu wraca Max. Mimo wcześniejszych ustaleń ciężko było się rozstać z Wszokiem po wspólnie spędzonych koncertach i imprezach, tak więc zespół postanawia kontynuować swoją działalność w składzie sześcioosobowym (i jest tak do dnia dzisiejszego). Latem tego samego roku NER-W dostaje się do przeglądu młodych talentów w Jarocinie, gdzie zalicza udany występ przed Jarocińską publicznością. Po tym koncercie zespół rozpoczyna przygotowania do nagrania swojego debiutanckiego albumu, który rejestruje ponownie w DBX studio na przełomie jesieni i zimy. Rok 2009 upływa na mixowaniu i masterowaniu materiału i kolejnych występach, aż do.. C.D.N. :)
Era
NER-W Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Move our hearts
Lazy ancient moon
Meanwhile minds
Run too fast
Bodies never shine
Disaster, disaster
People working for a bone
Day by day, to pay their homes
Power's plotting to control
Seeding groovy fights
People running from your bombs
Day by day, to reach safe homes
TV's fostering new fools
Seeding groovy fights
People...ouch...brain...boom!
Day by day, the public debt rises and rises
Money-grubbers steal our time
Seeding groovy fights
Oh seeding groovy fights
The lyrics of NER-W's song "ERA" explore the concept of time and its effects on different aspects of human existence. The opening lines "Strings of time, move our hearts; Lazy ancient moon, meanwhile minds run too fast; Bodies never shine" illustrate how human emotions and physical realities both experience an impact in the progression of time. Time moves continuously, yet the moon appears lazy- portraying the different paces at which humans and celestial bodies move. The line "bodies never shine" depicts the inevitability of aging and physical decay and how it is solely the heart that retains the spark.
The chorus, with the repetition of the word "disaster," highlights the disruptive and chaotic tendencies of humans. The next verses focus on the struggles of individuals against economic disparities and corrupt power systems. The line "People running from your bombs; Day by day, to reach safe homes; TV's fostering new fools; Seeding groovy fights" emphasizes the constant fear and struggles of everyday people against the oppression and manipulation surrounding them. The line "Money-grubbers steal our time; Seeding groovy fights" implies the money-oriented lifestyle that results in a perpetual loop of illusory success and competition that hampers happiness.
Overall, NER-W's "ERA" is a commentary on the various facets and effects of time on humanity's experiences and the turmoil caused by the greed and corruption of the world.
