Phase debuted in 2008 with their digital single Perdition under Microsoft’s “Playlist Seven” campaign for the release of Windows 7, which was followed by two full-length albums – In Consequence and the Wait. They got airplay on BBC6 by their prolific DJ Tom Robinson, while they’ve featured in Billboard, having #42 in the ‘Uncharted’ chart and as #12 in the ‘Fastest Rising Act’ chart. From all the safe territories in the world, Phase has performed in Syria, and are said to be the second international rock act, after the Gorillaz, ever to play there.
The band has shared stages with various artists some of which had some evident impact on their style like Jeff Martin (The Tea Party), Anneke van Giersbergen & Danny Cavanagh (Anathema & The Gathering), Sivert Høyem (madrugada), Antimater and many more. The band is stated by reviewers and critics to play within the genres of alternative rock, Psychedelic rock, progressive punk, post punk, goth rock, post-grunge, space rock, and electro rock. And as of today, they are on their songwriting retreat in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK aiming to the release of their upcoming works.

Sowing Scorn
Phase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Test what you've done
Get rid of the man
Quit building on sand
Fear no one that's clear
Wipe off your tear
Have eyes on your rear
And it feels that you haven't moved along
That the ties are so strong
And it seems that your self left you lorn
Blowing your own horn
Look, look what you've done
Can't hide, yet can run
For everything shows under the sun
Say, say what you feel
'Cause time won't stand still
Stop looping the reel
Your image to kill
Though the time seems won't reach us any more
Lady luck isn't whore
Even though I'm washed to your shore
I'm breathing it (with) every pore
Wide (is) the blame on your side
Kill your false pride
Reveal what you hide
Wherever you lied
Real is what you feel
Unfasten the seal
Look onto next deal
No longer to steal
Though it feels that you haven't moved along
That the ties are so strong
And it seems that your self left you lorn
Tasting your own scorn
The lyrics of Phase's song "Sowing Scorn" convey a message of self-reflection, self-awareness, and taking responsibility for one's actions. In the first verse, the lyrics encourage the listener to evaluate their past decisions and to discard any negative influences. The singer advises to have clear judgment, to not be afraid, and to watch who they associate with. The chorus emphasizes the need to take accountability for oneself, and not to hide from the consequences of one's actions. The second verse encourages speaking one's truth, letting go of the past, and moving forward. The bridge warns against false pride, hiding one's true self, and lying to oneself and others, emphasizing that only the truth will set one free. The lyrics, coupled with the song's upbeat melody, create an optimistic and empowering message for the listener.

Run, head for the sun
Move fast towards your goals
Test what you've done
Evaluate your actions
Get rid of the man
Eliminate obstacles
Quit building on sand
Stop creating a weak foundation
Fear no one that's clear
Do not be afraid of those who are honest
Wipe off your tear
Don't cry over spilled milk
Have eyes on your rear
Be cautious of who is behind you
Watch who you draw near
Be mindful of who you associate with
And it feels that you haven't moved along
You feel stagnant
That the ties are so strong
You are stuck in a rut
And it seems that your self left you lorn
You feel abandoned by yourself
Blowing your own horn
Boasting about your accomplishments
Look, look what you've done
Take a good look at your actions
Can't hide, yet can run
You can't escape the consequences, but you can start fresh
For everything shows under the sun
Everything is eventually revealed
Say, say what you feel
Express your true emotions
'Cause time won't stand still
Don't waste time
Stop looping the reel
Break out of negative patterns
Your image to kill
Let go of trying to maintain a fake persona
Though the time seems won't reach us any more
Feels like time is running out
Lady luck isn't whore
Luck isn't predictable or controllable
Even though I'm washed to your shore
Even though I'm in a new environment
I'm breathing it (with) every pore
I'm fully immersed in it
Wide (is) the blame on your side
You are to blame for many things
Kill your false pride
Stop being arrogant
Reveal what you hide
Be honest about your secrets
Wherever you lied
Confess to your lies
Real is what you feel
Authenticity is important
Unfasten the seal
Let go of your inhibitions
Look onto next deal
Focus on the next opportunity
No longer to steal
Stop taking what isn't yours
Though it feels that you haven't moved along
You still feel stuck
That the ties are so strong
The attachments are still holding you back
And it seems that your self left you lorn
You feel abandoned by yourself
Tasting your own scorn
Experiencing the consequences of your own actions
