2) Nemesis is a Bangladeshi rock band formed in 1999 by a group of school friends. After a few changes in the line-up during the initial years, the band started to gain ground within Dhaka's local music scene with their fluent performances, as it settled on to a permanent line-up with Zohad on vocals, Maher and Nondito on guitars, Ratul on bass and Yawar on drums. This earned them a spot in a 'mixed album' compilation tagged 'Agontuk-2' in 2003. Debuting with their first single 'Obocheton', Nemesis became an instant favorite among Dhaka's listeners which, in turn, led to a record deal with G-Series.
During the recording of the album, their drummer Yawar had to leave and was replaced by Dio who worked on the rest of the album and their guitarist Nondito left soon after to be replaced by Omayr in 2005. Nemesis’ debut album ‘Onneshon’ was finally released in 2005 under the label of G-Series, and it went on to become one of the major albums of that year. The album instantly stood out and generated a lot of attention with several of the songs proving to be major hits with the audience. With the release of 'Dhushor Bhabona' (2006) and 'Joyoddhoni' (2007), Nemesis earned mainstream recognition as both the singles went on to be included in the capital’s most popular FM station Radio Foorti’s Top 100 Singles Charts.
The band recorded their second album ‘Tritio Jatra’, six years later being released in 2011 under the label of Dead Line Music (DLM) sponsored by Cat’s Eye. The first single from the album ‘Kobe’ was released in Radio stations earlier in the 2011. In late 2011, they released the music video of their hit song ‘Kobe’ which was produced by Studio Bangi.
In 2012, Maher Khan and Omayr Khan left Nemesis and were later in the same year replaced by Zerif Ahmed and Zeheen Ahmed. In early 2013, Zeheen took a break from the band and was replaced by Zafir which is the present permanent line up of the band.
‘Tritio Jatra’ got nominated for The Best Band Award of 2011 (Popular Choice and Critic), The Best Sounding Album Award and Best Music Video Award (‘Kobe’, Studio Bangi) for the Citycell Channel I Music Awards where Nemesis won The Critic’s Choice - Best Band Award.
There lineup took one final change as Zerif left the band and Rafsan joined the band. The band released their third and most recent album on 10th May ,2017 after 6 years. The album received positive review from all the fans. With this album they settled with their sound that is now they are more blues rock than alternative and all the band members were happy with the album. The ten songs on the album mark a departure from their older songs in the way that all the songs have a particular and serious meaning behind them. The album can be streamed in iTunes and Spotify.

Escape
Nemesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I' ve been pushed out to the limit...
This time I' ve had enough!
Don' t care, anywhere,
Just far away from here...
I know anywhere else
Must be better than this!
New day: hope arrives...
Towards all my desires!
It' s no use to stay...
When the night retreats away
Thete' s no hope for our escape!
It' s no good, I' m fed up,
Tied up with mistrust n' disgust...
It' s getting all too much!
The shade, the light,
The light, the shade,
The shade, the light
Alternate in random...
I' d run, but I' m held here by a chain!
Here I still stand,
Just my shadow' s bona fide...
Now my soul is free to take flight...!
Dodgy, shady moonlight...
Giving me a new sign when the day breaks at sunrise...!
Everything commences likewise:
Shadows destroyed by frenzied light!
A new day promises new hope...!
Nocturnal shadows all
Disappear and leave my face!
Everything bleeds to death n' dies
That was here in yesterday!
A new day promises new hope...!
I feel dreams summon me again...
As I tear apart all my chains...!
The lyrics to Nemesis's song "Escape" explore the theme of feeling trapped and fed up with one's current situation. The singer has been pushed to the limit and has had enough, desiring to escape to a better place. They don't care where they go, as long as it's far away from their current situation. The hope of a new day and the freedom it may bring is a driving force for the singer. However, they feel held back by something, represented by the chain that holds them in place.
The alternating imagery of shade and light suggests a sense of confusion and instability. The singer wants to run and break free, but something is still holding them back. The dodgy, shady moonlight is a symbol of uncertainty and danger, which is contrasted with the promise of new hope at sunrise. The old and negative aspects of the past are fading away, creating room for new possibilities and dreams.
Overall, "Escape" is a song about the desire to break free from negative situations and find hope in new beginnings.
Line by Line Meaning
It's no good I'm fed up,
The situation is unacceptable and I am tired of it.
I've been pushed out to the limit...
I have endured as much as I can.
This time I've had enough!
I will no longer put up with this.
Don't care, anywhere,
My current location is irrelevant.
Just far away from here...
I want to be distant from my current surroundings.
I know anywhere else
I am certain that any other place
Must be better than this!
Would be a significant improvement.
New day: hope arrives...
With the new day comes a sense of optimism.
When the wind takes me away
I feel liberated and free.
Towards all my desires!
I am moving in the direction of my aspirations.
It's no use to stay...
There is no point in remaining.
When the night retreats away
As darkness recedes,
There's no hope for our escape!
Our chances of leaving are slim.
It's no good, I'm fed up,
The situation is still intolerable and I am frustrated.
Tied up with mistrust n' disgust...
I am held back by feelings of suspicion and aversion.
It's getting all too much!
The pressure is becoming overwhelming.
The shade, the light,
The contrast between light and dark,
The light, the shade,
The interplay between brightness and obscurity,
The shade, the light
The juxtaposition of shadow and illumination
Alternate in random...
Shift unpredictably.
I'd run, but I'm held here by a chain!
I am restrained and unable to escape.
Here I still stand,
Despite everything, I remain here.
Just my shadow's bona fide...
Everything else seems ephemeral.
Now my soul is free to take flight...!
Finally, my spirit is emancipated!
Dodgy, shady moonlight...
The untrustworthy, dubious light of the moon...
Giving me a new sign when the day breaks at sunrise...!
Indicating a new beginning as the sun rises...
Everything commences likewise:
The cycle starts again in the same way...
Shadows destroyed by frenzied light!
The obscurity is vanquished by intense brightness.
A new day promises new hope...!
The dawn heralds a sense of optimism
Nocturnal shadows all
The darkness from the previous night
Disappear and leave my face!
Receding to reveal my countenance.
Everything bleeds to death n' dies
All that existed before succumbs and ends
That was here in yesterday!
What was here yesterday no longer remains.
A new day promises new hope...!
But the new day brings new promise.
I feel dreams summon me again...
My aspirations beckon to me once more.
As I tear apart all my chains...!
And I break free from all that binds me!
