1) Negative Space was a psychedelic rock band who released an album Hard, Heavy, Mean and Evil in 1970. Only 500 copies were pressed, and the album was out of print until a compilation was released on CD in 2000 by Monster Records. The Living Dead Years includes the entire 1970 album, non-LP cuts and material from the post-Negative Space outfit Snow. Their sound had been described as "dark heavy fuzzed basement psych" and has drawn comparisons to bands such as Steppenwolf.
2) With a blindingly amazing live concerts and years of songwriting, Lancaster Pennsylvania’s NEGATIVE SPACE has released their breakthrough album “Storylines.” Their fierce blend of mainstream rock and indie-pop hooks are delivered with raw punk energy uniting the likes of Foo Fighters and Green Day. Produced by Kirk Kelsey, this stellar record will be their steady rise to recognition. After years of sharing the stage with bands like Alterbridge, Fuel, Lit, Eve 6, Breaking Benjamin, and Seether, they are praised by industry and fans alike:
'This is a band with a deep sense of melody as well as a deep sense of songwriting. Throw some balls in for good measure and you get Negative Space.'
- Chris Henderson - Guitarist for 3 Doors Down
'Negative Space unleashes a thunderous, furious force that tumbles and floors us, knocking us down. Their album, entitled Storylines, exemplifies wonderful songwriting in the man-made vehicle of a dynamic hard hitter that acts like a ferocious animal.'
- John Berkowitz, celebritycafe.com

4) Negative Space is an American deathcore band formed in 2019 by guitarist Simon and released 5 singles, 2 EPs, and 1 album until the addition of a now-ex vocalist, who aided in putting Negative Space in the right direction with the first metal release, a demo of the band's song Genesis in October of 2020. Not long after, bassist Michael Wagner joined the act and the previous vocalist resigned from it. Shortly after, vocalist Gage Smith and Jacob Gawlikowski joined the band as well, and in August of 2021 they officially signed to Locon Records.

Negative Space Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's blurred to me
Are you waiting for the calls to come through
Come clean
On rides back, the sky is waving white flags again
It won't protect me from all of the fights I can't win
Cause we've been around the world with this before,
And honestly, just to think this could make me,
Someone that fails you, is something that scares me too
So where was the starting line
I can't blame it on you, besides
It's a long way to Georgia
You're reading my mind
Remind me of tickets and runways
Someday call me up when you don't care
I'll make it my fault if you can't stay
I feel safer with somebody right here holding me down
Honestly, can you trust me
Cause we've been around the world with this before,
And honestly, just to think this could make me,
Someone that fails you, is something that scares me
(All I'm making is all I'm breaking)
Honestly, you can trust me
We've been around the world,
It's better you left me here
Honestly, you can trust me
We've been around the world,
Don't forget about me,
It takes all of me just to think this could make me
Bigger than empty, and better you left me here
The lyrics to "Honestly" by Negative Space highlight the fear of being a disappointment to those around you. The first verse sets the scene with a sense of confusion and uncertainty. The singer is unsure of what's going on and feels as though everything is moving too quickly for them to keep up. They ask if the person they're speaking to is waiting for some sort of confirmation, and if they're willing to be honest with them.
The second verse offers a glimpse into the singer's mind. They feel as though they're in a losing battle that they can't win. The sky, often a comforting presence, waving white flags only emphasizes their sense of defeat. The pre-chorus brings the doubts to the forefront, wondering if they can be trusted, if they're just going to mess things up again.
The chorus reinforces this fear, acknowledging that even the thought of being a letdown is terrifying. The bridge expands on the dishonesty that the singer feels. They don't want to blame anyone else for their problems, and instead offer up excuses to justify their actions. They feel as though they're better off with someone else around to anchor them, and the repetition of "Honestly, you can trust me" is both a plea and a reassurance.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal fear of letting others down and the struggle to trust oneself. It's a poignant representation of the challenges that come with anxiety and self-doubt.
