No one really knew much about this band which was becoming increasingly popular through its club hits “Forever” and “Spilling Blood” on the compilations “Machineries of Joy Vol. 3 and 4.” … and which was sporting a mighty sound with a dark ambience and addictive melodies, built upon a solid foundation of Future Pop, TBM and Industrial. The man behind Necessary Response is none other than Daniel Graves of Aesthetic Perfection, and his debut-album “Blood Spills Not Far From the Wound” offers just the kind of perfect mixture between melodic aggression and slightly dark club anthems that we have been sorely missing from the big names in the scene. Furthermore, Necessary Response are masters at producing beats that shake the dance floor and at combining memorable hook lines with an aggressive punch – hard stuff, but with a lot of feeling. Electro-sounds for the new Millennium!

Devotion
Necessary Response Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Again
I never wanted any of this
Suspend
A certain sense of ignorance
And all I can do is give myself to you
Becoming something that I despise
And no matter where you are
I am never far behind

A friend
Consumed by her emptiness
Contempt
For words spoken with indifference
And now I see all you'll ever be
Just a fading memory
Pages burned so long ago
And with the wind the ashes blow

This is the final day
Our feelings of hate
A last emotion
And could I ever get through
All those things you do
Without such devotion?

I'd give my whole world for you
I'd give my life up just for you
And all these foolish things we do

I try for
I die for

Line by Line Meaning

Again
Starting over, another chance to make a new beginning

I never wanted any of this
Regretting the choices that led to the current situation

Suspend
To hang in between, waiting for something to happen

A certain sense of ignorance
Not fully understanding the consequences of one's actions

And all I can do is give myself to you
Surrendering completely to a person or ideal

Becoming something that I despise
Losing one's identity or values in the pursuit of something else

And no matter where you are
Constantly thinking of and following someone or something

I am never far behind
Being close to someone, even when physically apart

A friend
Someone close and trusted

Consumed by her emptiness
Feeling hollow and lacking purpose

Contempt
Disgust or disappointment towards someone

For words spoken with indifference
Feeling hurt or unimportant due to apathetic behavior

And now I see all you'll ever be
Realizing the true nature of someone or something

Just a fading memory
Becoming less and less significant over time

Pages burned so long ago
Past experiences and memories that are best forgotten or let go

And with the wind the ashes blow
The remnants of the past being carried away, never to return

This is the final day
The end of a period, a turning point

Our feelings of hate
Strong negative emotions that have built up over time

A last emotion
The final feeling towards someone or something

And could I ever get through
Questioning whether it's even possible to overcome a situation

All those things you do
Actions that cause pain or difficulty

Without such devotion?
Wondering if it's even possible to continue without complete dedication

I'd give my whole world for you
Willing to sacrifice everything for someone or something

I'd give my life up just for you
Being willing to die for someone or something

And all these foolish things we do
Mistakes made in pursuit of something else

I try for
Giving it one's all, attempting to succeed

I die for
Being so dedicated that one is willing to sacrifice everything, even one's life

I use to do security for a night club called the Can Club and on Wednesdays they played music like this. One of the djs gave me a copy of this CD. I listened to it almost everyday. That was back in 2007.
