1. Parallels is … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 2 bands with the name Parallels:
1. Parallels is an electronic group based out of Toronto, Canada consisting of front-woman Holly Dodson (vocals, keyboards), Nick Dodson (drums) and Artem Galperine (live keyboards). Past members include Cameron Findlay (drums, composer, producer) and Joey Kehoe (keyboards).
Parallels began in 2008 through an exchange of emails between Holly and former member Cameron Findlay, which turned into their debut single “Ultralight”. After Findlay returned to Toronto at the end of Crystal Castles’ 2008 tour, Findlay and Dodson turned their main focus to the development of Parallels. They found co-writing to be a refreshing break from working solo – each bringing their diverse musical backgrounds to their new project – stemming in ambient electronic music and seventies pop, meshed with cold synthetic sounds.
Parallels recorded the material for their first album during 2009 titled Visionaries which was then independently released on Marigold Productions in February 2010.
Their second album, XII, was released in June 2012 on Marigold Productions.

Dry Blood
Parallels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll leave it for you
You're still the one
It's not the same as you are
No one's around
I'll leave it for you
No one's around
You're still the one
I'll leave it for you
You're still the one
It's not the same as you are
And no one's seeing
We might be all the same
No heart with no words
And no one's there to remind us
You're still the one
I'll leave it for you
You're still the one
It's not the same as you are
No one's around
I'll leave it for you
No one's around
It's not the same as you are to me now
The lyrics to Parallels' song Dry Blood seem to deal with the concept of a relationship that has changed over time. The singer repeats the phrase "You're still the one" several times throughout the song, which suggests a sense of nostalgia or fondness for a past relationship. However, they also acknowledge that "It's not the same as you are" which indicates that the relationship has changed in some way, perhaps due to distance, time or other circumstances.
The notion of distance is reinforced by the repeated line "No one's around", which seems to suggest a feeling of loneliness or isolation. The singer seems to be reflecting upon the fact that the relationship they once had is no longer there, and that they feel a sense of loss as a result. The lines "And no one's seeing/We might be all the same/No heart with no words/And no one's there to remind us" further emphasise this sense of isolation and disconnection.
Overall, the lyrics to Dry Blood by Parallels suggest a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship that has changed over time. The singer seems to be struggling with feelings of nostalgia and loss, and the repeated lines throughout the song serve to reinforce these emotions.

You're still the one
Despite everything that has happened, you continue to be the one person who remains relevant to me
I'll leave it for you
I'll let you take the lead and determine the way forward
It's not the same as you are
Things have changed and you are not the same person you used to be
No one's around
We are alone and there is no one to help or intervene
It's not the same as you are to me now
The way I perceive you has changed and you are no longer the same person in my eyes
And no one's seeing
There is no one around to bear witness to our struggles
We might be all the same
Despite our differences, we may all be experiencing the same emotions
No heart with no words
Without the ability to express ourselves, we feel empty and hollow
And no one's there to remind us
In the absence of others, we must rely on ourselves to remember important things

I Love All Your Music... I heard this song a few times on a 80's Internet Radio Station, mixed among everything else. I wanted to hear more and discovered it was in fact a CURRENT band and not from the 80's after all. This has happened at least one other time with another group (GUNSHIP) I already had, I started hearing their music on an 80's station too.
