3) NeLL

NeLL, hailing from Chorzów, Poland, is an energetic indie rock band with a strong big beat influence.
The band was founded in 2003 by Sojer and Bartek, on the ashes of their former band Campbell. They played as a duo for several months, the bassist, Klaus joined the band shortly, though. They released self-titled demo in 2005. In November, Borsuk, a new drummer joined the group. He gave NeLL a strong blow of pure energy and enabled them to revise what they've done up to that point. With a new face, NeLL recorded two brand new songs: "Red Ribbons" and "Lady C", both acclaimed by the Polish Radio Trojka and later released on Piotr Stelmach's compilations.
In 2008 they released their first official single: Downwards the City. The single was funded by the fans via megatotal.pl website and therefore NeLL has became the first polish band ever which managed to release a single in such way.
Their debut album White Noise Zone was released in 2010 by Polskie Radio label.

Their influences include Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, The Knife, Kraftwerk and more recently Interpol, Depeche Mode or The Kills. NeLL is rendering personal emotions into the language of sounds. They vent down their frustrations, joy and despair. The world in their music bends inside. The Real shines with its own glitter and ghosts sit at the bar or lie down to your bed. The music they play is as varied as we are. It’s a rock’n’roll watching its mirror refelction. As one of NeLL’s fans wrote: “With this music, you can drink, die and do couple of other cool things.”

Tokyo
Nell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The love we make
The tears we cry
Sometimes they're just not real

The heart we break
The wounds we make
Sometimes they just don't heal

I think i'm losing weight again
I think i'm losing taste again
I think i broke my heart again
Will you stay with me

I think i lost my love again
Maybe i sold my heart again
I think i'm left with none but pain
Will you stay with me

The things we say
The things we hear
Sometimes they're not real

The thing we touch

The thing we feel
Sometimes they're just not real

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nell's song Tokyo can be interpreted as an attempt by the artist to grapple with the idea of reality versus perception. The lines "The love we make, the tears we cry, sometimes they're just not real" speak to the idea that although emotions may feel intensely real, they are ultimately subjective and can be influenced by our own biases and interpretations of situations. Similarly, "The heart we break, the wounds we make, sometimes they just don't heal" can be read as a commentary on the lasting effects of our actions, and the ways in which they can impact others long after the fact.

The repeated refrain "Will you stay with me" underscores the sense of uncertainty and insecurity that runs throughout the song. The lines "I think I'm losing weight again, I think I'm losing taste again, I think I broke my heart again" create a sense of physical and emotional decay, while "Maybe I sold my heart again, I think I'm left with none but pain" suggests a sense of desperation and hopelessness.

Overall, Tokyo is a mournful reflection on the ways in which our own experiences can distort our perceptions of reality, and the pain that can result from this.
