1) Rosetta Stone is a British Goth band formed in the mid 1980s.
2) Rosetta Stone was a British pop band from the late 1970s.
3) Rosetta Stone was a pop band from the late 2000s.

1) Rosetta Stone is a British Goth band formed in the mid 1980s around members Porl King (Rosetta Stone, Miserylab) on guitar/vocals/keyboards and Karl North (Rosetta Stone, Dream Disciples) on bass, plus their drum machine and synthesizer rack nicknamed "Madame Razor." The band was named after the Rosetta Stone, an Egyptian historical artifact, and used ancient mythological imagery. Their early style and first album reflected the jangly-guitar sounds of 1980s gothic rock, and their first big break was supporting The Mission.
In 1991 the band released their most successful single Adrenaline, an indie dancefloor anthem which marked a change in direction for the band's sound and line-up. Porl Young (who had joined just after the recording of An Eye For The Main Chance) left to produce Children On Stun whilst Porl King and Karl North remained to take the band into a more industrial sound.
1992 saw a cover version of The Rattles 1970 hit The Witch take the band into the UK top 40 singles chart.
With the advance for 1995's The Tyranny of Inaction, Porl King purchased an Alesis ADAT multi-track digital recorder, the use of which substantially changed Rosetta Stone's sound. That album and most subsequent work featured a much more industrial sound, with extensive use of sampling
At some point in the late 1990s, Porl King lost part of his little finger in an accident, which changed his guitar style considerably. The band split up in 1998 for many reasons but which some say may have included an off-stage fracas with an act from Nightbreed Recordings at Whitby Gothic Weekend. Karl North joined Dream Disciples (their next album Asphyxia notably featured Carl's Rosetta-sounding bass). Porl King produced one more album (contractually) under the name Rosetta Stone for Cleopatra Records. Porl King went on to be a remix producer under the moniker "Miserylab," working for the likes of the mercury music award nominated Elbow and the Fluke side-project Syntax. As Miserylab, Porl has released several Singles, EPs, and Albums including the track Making A Bomb, his latest album From Which No Light Escapes, and singles Appeal To Fears {video} and Gods Amongst Your Friends {video}. Both singles are available for FREE download at miserylab.com.
Rosetta Stone was one of the largest names in the 1990s goth circuit, easily commanding audiences of over two thousand when headlining festivals, however they seemed to prefer to have a more direct relationship with their audience and in later years would usually book short tours of smaller 500+ capacity venues which then sold out. Porl King was one of the few big-name goth musicians to contribute to online discussions, such as Usenet's uk.people.gothic newsgroup. This dedication gained them a solid fanbase - the most loyal followers became known as Quarriers. Today Porl is frequently found on Facebook and Twitter.

Rosetta Stone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got a blind spot
I've had what you want
I've fucked the whole lot
Too bad there are the have and have nots
No use chasing it
Your time you're wasting it
Time you started facing it
I just came along for the ride

Hide
Lies
Screwing you and I from inside
Stained
Drained of blame I'm sick of taking
On heat like swine beneath my skin you creep you crawl
You check I'm in
You'd hold your breath to hear it all

Even if it kills me I will bring about your downfall
You've clearly got something to hide

Overall Meaning

In Rosetta Stone’s song, Spoiler, the artist seems to be addressing someone who has a blind spot and is seemingly unaware of their shortcomings. The lyrics suggest that the singer has something that the addressee wants, but the divide between the “have and have nots” prevents the addressee from obtaining it. The singer seems unapologetic about having obtained their desired object and seems to be encouraging the addressee to stop wasting their time chasing it. The singer does not seem to have any emotional attachment to the situation and claims to have only “come along for the ride.”

Later in the song, the lyrics suggest that the addressee is attempting to manipulate the singer. The lines “you check I’m in / You’d hold your breath to hear it all” suggest that there is some monitoring or surveillance of the singer going on. The singer seems to be aware of this and states that even if it will kill them, they will bring about the addressee’s downfall.

Overall, the song seems to be about power dynamics and manipulation. The singer seems to have obtained something that the addressee wants and is unapologetic about it. The addressee seems to be attempting to manipulate the singer, but the singer is not willing to be controlled.

Line by Line Meaning

You've got a blind spot
There's an area in your life that you're unaware of

I've had what you want
I possess something that you desire

I've fucked the whole lot
I've had sexual relations with everyone involved

Too bad there are the have and have nots
Unfortunately, some people have things while others do not

No use chasing it
There's no point in pursuing it

Your time you're wasting it
You're wasting your time

Time you started facing it
It's time for you to confront it

I just came along for the ride
I'm only here for the experience

Hide
Conceal yourself

Lies
Falsehoods

Screwing you and I from inside
Harming both you and me internally
