The first three mentioned groups have tracks listed here, but the rest of this article is about the Canadian punk band.

Reset was formed in 1995 in Montreal, Quebec. Originally the band members were Pierre Bouvier, Philippe Jolicoeur, Charles-André "Chuck" Comeau and Jean-Sébastien Boileau. Reset recorded a demo tape : Concerned, in 1995.

Then came the first full length album: No Worries in 1997 recorded at Le Studio Morin-Heights. The band shot a video clip for the single “Why”. In 1999 Reset had a different line up. Pierre was now singing and playing bass, and a new member, Adrian White from Vancouver, joined to play drums with the punk rock band based out of Montreal. In 2000 they released No Limits. This album was recorded in Vancouver BC and was produced by Greg Reely.

Three video clips were filmed for No Limits: Pollution, Pressure, My Dream and I. David Desrosiers replaced Pierre Bouvier in 2001 but only to stay with the band for 6 months, leaving to join Simple Plan, already consisting of two previous band members, Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau.

In 2004, Reset came back with a third album : Radioactive. The album was produced, performed, mixed and mastered by Philippe Jolicoeur. The next year in 2005 RESET has a new line-up with Phil (guitars & vocals) Martin Gendreau (drums) and Claude Plamondon (bass & vocals).

Over the years Reset has participated in five Canadian tours and one American tour,the 2000 Vans Warped Tour in North America. Reset has played with bands such as Greenday, Nofx, Pennywise, Lagwagon, MxPx, Millencolin, Strung Out, Face To Face, Papa Roach, Ten Foot Pole and many more.

Planet Earth
Reset Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Planet earth is abused
You know we're to blame
Symposium shows it's not too late
Constant threat, Nuclear war
Corrective measures await us all
Staring death, In the face
The end of the human race
No it's not too late

No it's not the right time
To cross the gate invisible line
Established by mankind
Our planet is abused
Can't live this was any more,
I don't know
Are we near the end
It is real ten years it might be too late
No it's not the right time
To cross the gate invisible
Established by mankind

Our planet is abused
Won't live this way anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "Planet Earth" by Reset is a commentary on the state of the world and how we, as human beings, have abused the planet to the point where its very survival is at risk. The first verse of the song lays it all out - "Planet earth is abused, you know we're to blame." This acknowledgement of our role in the destruction of the planet sets the tone for the rest of the song, which urges us to take corrective measures before it's too late.

The second verse focuses on the threat of nuclear war and the ominous sense that the end of the human race is near. However, despite these dire warnings, the lyrics also offer a glimmer of hope. The repetition of the phrase "no it's not too late" suggests that there is still time to make things right and undo some of the damage that has been done. The final lines of the song express a desire to break free from the destructive cycle we've found ourselves in and "live this way" no more.
