Following a series of hotly tipped 2009 singles, he signed to London Elektricity's renowned Hospital Records and released his self-titled debut the following year. Since 2012, Netsky has toured with a full band, in addition to releasing two numerically titled albums, both of which topped the Belgian charts, and his sound has expanded to encompass dubstep, hip-hop, and electro-house.
Taking his stage name from a computer worm affecting Microsoft Windows operating systems, Daenen's first releases as Netsky first appeared in 2009, on independent drum'n'bass labels like Talkin Beatz and Liq-weed Ganja. His melodic, energetic sound made him a natural fit for Hospital Records, who signed him at the end of the year. The debut full-length Netsky appeared in 2010, showcasing Daenen's ability to switch between rigorous dancefloor tracks and full-blown songs with guest vocalists. After collaborating with labelmate Danny Byrd on the 2011 single "Tonight," Netsky's second album, 2, was released in 2012. Reaching the top spot in his native country in addition to charting high in New Zealand and the U.K., the album included four Belgian Top 20-charting singles and guest vocals by Diane Charlemagne and Billie, both of whom toured as part of the Netsky live band. By then, he was an in-demand remix producer, having reworked songs by Swedish House Mafia, Miike Snow, Jessie J, and several others.
"Running Low," a collaboration with American singer Beth Ditto, was released in 2014, and became Netsky's first number one single in his native country. Signing with Epic Records, he released his third album, 3, in 2016. Sporting a noticeably poppier sound and featuring guest appearances from the likes of Emeli Sandé, Saint Raymond, Lowell, and the peculiarly named Digital Farm Animals, the album was another success, topping the Belgian charts while hitting the Top Ten of the dance charts in the U.K. and the United States. He followed the album with the 2017 single "Here with You" (with Lost Frequencies) and 2018's "Téquila Limonada" (featuring A.CHAL). In 2019 Netsky teamed up with Aloe Blacc for the single "Snitch." ~ Andy Kellman & Paul Simpson.
Netsky’s profile as a remixer has been affirmed by his huge remixes of ubiquitous club anthems such as Pendulum – “Witchcraft”, Plan B, Leftfield –“Release The Pressure”, Audio Bullies –“Only Man”, Swedish House Mafia – “One”, Jessie J – “Nobody’s Perfect” and Rusko – “Everyday” and more.
Broken Bottles
Netsky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black as widow without you no sunset, so
On nights like these I'm so undead
An endless point, oh
I don't wanna be the wish you don't want
In a couple of the gin I go bust, oh
'Cause I ain't seen much
And my heart goes down
It's a wonder how I'm still breathing
Used to have it, but I lost the meaning
Didn't think it would be like this never, never
Yeah
It's a wonder how I'm still beating
It's all love until your lover's leaving
Didn't think that it would be like this never
I tell myself that I'm fine
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Yeah
I'll quit, I just need some time
To fix my life that she broke
Oh
My love
My love
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Yeah
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Meet you in another life
I just need a little time
'Cause nights like these
When I can't reach you I lose my mind so
I'll meet you in another life
I just need a little time
I'll meet you in another life
I tell myself that I'm fine
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Yeah
I'll quit, I just need some time
To fix my life that she broke
Oh
My love
My love
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Yeah
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Yeah
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Yeah
These broken bottles will solve
All my problems
Problems
Meet you in another life
I just need a little time
'Cause nights like these
When I can't reach you out of my mind
Meet you in another life
I just need a little time
'Cause nights like these
When I can't reach you out of my mind

Line by Line Meaning
In the middle now you've come and gone lost
Feeling lost in the aftermath of a broken relationship
Black as widow without you no sunset, so
Feeling like life has lost its color and vibrancy without the presence of the former lover
On nights like these I'm so undead
Feeling emotionally drained and empty on lonely nights
An endless point, oh
Feeling stuck in a cycle of heartbreak without a clear end
I don't wanna be the wish you don't want
Not wanting to be a burden or unwanted source of stress for the former lover
In a couple of the gin I go bust, oh
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism and sometimes losing control
'Cause I ain't seen much
Feeling inexperienced and lost in love
But I've seen love
Knowing what love is, but struggling to deal with its loss
And my heart goes down
Feeling deeply saddened and heartbroken
It's a wonder how I'm still breathing
Surprised at how life goes on despite emotional turmoil
Used to have it, but I lost the meaning
Feeling like a relationship that used to bring meaning to life is now gone
Didn't think it would be like this never, never
Not expecting the heartbreak and pain of a failed relationship
It's a wonder how I'm still beating
Surprised at how the heart can still go on despite heartbreak
It's all love until your lover's leaving
Realizing that love can disappear when someone leaves
Didn't think that it would be like this never
Not expecting the shock and hurt of a breakup
I tell myself that I'm fine
Trying to convince oneself that everything is okay despite feeling broken inside
These broken bottles will solve
Using alcohol as a temporary solution to emotional pain
All my problems
Believing that drinking can make life's problems go away
I'll quit, I just need some time
Acknowledging the desire to quit drinking and take time to heal
To fix my life that she broke
Feeling like the former lover caused the pain and now needing to heal
My love
Expressing the depth of love felt for the former partner
Meet you in another life
Holding onto hope of reconnecting in a future life
I just need a little time
Needing time to heal and move on from the painful breakup
'Cause nights like these
Feeling the most pain on lonely nights
When I can't reach you I lose my mind so
Feeling like sanity slips away when thoughts of the former lover surface
