Over the years Pretty Maids have sold hundreds of thousands of records, but have never broken through in a major way. They have supported such well known acts as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Saxon, Nazareth and were also featured at the 1987 German version of Monsters of Rock where Metallica headlined along with Deep Purple.
The new 2006 album "Wake Up to the Real World" shows the band back in former glory. Great hard rock/melodic rock with a metal touch to it. The album includes a cover of Deep Purple's classic gem "Perfect Strangers". Pretty Maids is currently signed to Frontiers Records.
The Unwritten Pages
Pretty Maids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just the same old scene
There's no love between us
It's dying
If I will you won't
If you do I don't
Love is skin and bone
Accusation's flying
Now there's nothing that could solve our differencies
And change our acts of no address
We're only suffering from our reality
It's just a game of hit and miss
All the bridges left behind
The bliss we couldn't find
All the unwritten pages
We don't know what is to come
We can not see beyond
The unwritten pages
No more bitter pills
Mental overkill
We just fool ourselves
All this fuzz and fighting
No more vicious words
All they do is hurt
No more throwing dirt
Girl we're sliding
There ain't no cure for all this heartbreak overload
Our lives are left in disarray
We're holding on to something we lost so long ago
We should have gone our separate ways
[Chorus]
Now love is colder
Like the river turning ice
There ain't no feelings to restore
They're gone forevermore
Nothing to work out
Nothing to retain
You see there ain't no common ground
No passion to be found
We ought to know
These lyrics from the song "The Unwritten Pages" by Pretty Maids depict a relationship that has lost its spark and is gradually deteriorating. The first few lines describe a monotonous everyday routine, with no love left between the partners. There is a sense of imbalance in the relationship as one person wants something that the other person does not or vice versa. Love has lost its essence and has become a mere physical attraction. Accusations are being thrown around, and it seems like the couple is just going through the motions of their relationship. The lyrics also express a sense of hopelessness as nothing seems to be solving their differences. The couple is just playing a game of hit and miss when it comes to their relationship.
The chorus talks about the bridges that they have left behind and the unwritten pages of their life that lie ahead. They have no idea what is to come, and the future seems bleak. The couple is just holding on to something that they lost a long time ago. The love has turned cold, and they do not know how to restore the feelings that they once had for each other. There is no common ground left between them, and they should have separated a long time ago.
