1) Revolver (UK) were a London based guitar band in existence from 1990-1994, comprising of Mat Flint (guitar/vocals), Hamish Brown (bass) and Nick Dewey (drums). Flint and Dewey had been in school bands together, and when the two moved to London in the autumn of 1990 met Brown who completed the line-up.
The band, after attracting attention from several record labels, signed to the Virgin records subsidiary Hut Records in the summer of 1991. The band quickly picked up a following, supporting the likes of Chapterhouse, Slowdive, Teenage Fanclub and Blur, and gained a lot of press coverage, most notably in NME, Melody Maker and The Face. Their first single, "Heaven Sent An Angel" topped the UK independent charts, as did the follow-up "Crimson", and the third single "Venice". The band specialised in bright, abrasive guitar-pop songs with strong melodies, and were determined (but ultimately failed) to distinguish themselves from the other guitar bands of the era. The UK press lumped them in with the shoegazer movement, a tag that the band weren't comfortable with.
A compilation of these first 3 singles was released in the States as "Baby's Angry" on Caroline Records, and gained the band airplay on US college radio. The band toured America in the autumn of 1992, on a co-headlining tour with fellow Caroline Records act Drop Nineteens.
In 1993, Revolver released the single "Cradle Snatch", closely followed by the album "Cold Water Flat", and while the songs were more sophisticated than their earlier work, the sales weren't as impressive, and Virgin dropped the band after a final single "I Wear Your Chain" failed to make the top 75. The band split up at the beginning of 1994, after failing to sign a deal with another label. Mat Flint went on to play bass guitar for Death In Vegas from 1996 onwards, and has released two singles, "Commodity" and "Time To Kill", with his new band Deep Cut. Deep Cut's debut album "My Thoughts Light Fires" will be released on Club AC30 Records in February 2009.

2) Formed in Braunschweig, Germany - Formed by guitarist Lutz Buck and drummer Antek Rudo, and after tossing some ideas around, they decided to book a studio to record an album. The album, The Unholy Mother Of Fuck, was recorded and released in 2002 on Music For Nations.

3) Formed in Auckland, New Zealand in 2003. Comprised of Charlie Atkin (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Stevie Atkin (vocals, guitars), Greg Dempster (drums), Matt Bryers (vocals, guitars), and Rob Bryers (bass, vocals), they released their debut album "Parlour Games" in December 2006. Their style is best described as rock and roll with strong retro influences, particularly The Who and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

4) Revolver (Slovenia) was a thrash metal band from Portorož, active in the 90's. They have released first and only album "Sistem" in 1997. Band Members were: Igor Zonta (Vocals), Kevin Koradin (Guitar), Matej Batelič (Bass), Enis Beganovič (Drums).

6) Revolver is an Edmonton based MC (North London) who is part of the crew Cold Blooded. Revolver was originally part of Millitant Terrorist, in which he shone out as a premier MC in that crew.

Parallel Lives
Revolver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause we're just living parallel lives

We are drawing parallel paths
But parallel lines never cross, no?
We don't think much about the past
We're getting used to being lost

You and me, writing lines
Doing the same thing each and every night
The same dreams, the same lies
And I wish and I hope that

Someday...

Now another year has passed
Still we don't know about each other
The girl has dyed her hair brown
It's like we've loved a complete stranger

You and me, writing lines
Doing the same thing each and every night
The same dreams, the same lies
We're just living parallel lives
You and me, writing lines

Doing the same thing each and every night
Or at least, once or twice...

Overall Meaning

The song "Parallel Lives" by Revolver speaks of two individuals who are leading parallel lives, without even knowing about each other. They are both in love with the same girl, but one of them has never met her. The song describes their similar experiences, dreams, and lies but also acknowledges their contrasting paths. They grew up side by side but somehow didn't cross each other's paths. The song also highlights the sense of being lost, resigned to the fact that parallel lines never cross.

There is a sense of longing in the song, as the chorus talks about the two individuals wishing to bridge the gap between them and hoping to meet in the future. However, as the years go by, they still remain strangers to each other, and the girl they both love has even changed her appearance, making their love seem even more distant and unlikely.

Overall, the song portrays a sense of melancholic resignation, as the two individuals appear to have become accustomed to their parallel lives, with little hope of ever crossing each other's paths or being reunited with the girl they both love.

Line by Line Meaning

We are living parallel lives
We are existing in separate yet similar realities

We don't know about each other
We are unaware of each other's existence

We're in love with the same girl
We share romantic feelings for the same person

But one of us has never met her
One of us has not had the chance to encounter her

We don't see the same shores
We have different perspectives and experiences

We both grew up by our sides but
We had a similar upbringing, yet ended up apart

We can feel the same trouble
We share similar struggles and hardships

'Cause we're just living parallel lives
Our paths run alongside each other but never intersect

We are drawing parallel paths
Our lives are following separate yet identical trajectories

But parallel lines never cross, no?
We are resigned to the fact that our paths will not merge

We don't think much about the past
We are focused on the present and future

We're getting used to being lost
We are settling into our parallel lives, even if they are unfulfilling

Doing the same thing each and every night
We are stuck in a monotonous cycle

The same dreams, the same lies
We share similar hopes and fantasies, even if they are unrealistic

And I wish and I hope that
I long for something more, despite the futility of it all

Still we don't know about each other
Our lives continue to proceed independently

The girl has dyed her hair brown
Even the object of our shared affection has changed in some way, further perpetuating our separateness

It's like we've loved a complete stranger
Our feelings for her are based on an incomplete and inaccurate understanding of her

Or at least, once or twice...
Perhaps we had a fleeting moment of overlap, but it was not enough to bring our parallel lives together
