1) Scarlet was a UK duo from Hull. They originally consisted of Cheryl Parker (vocals, guitar) and Jo Youle (piano, keyboards, vocals). The group had a third member, Joanne Fox, but she left before the band had any major success.

The band had their first UK hit with "Independent Love Song" (UK #12) in 1995 featured in the film "Bed of Roses," which was followed by their album Naked (UK #53). The group's second UK single "I Wanna Be Free (To Be With Him)" became a minor hit (UK #21), but the next single "Love Hangover" flopped (UK #54).

In 1996, Scarlet issued a new single "Bad Girl", but this also stalled at #54. The album Chemistry missed the top 75 completely, and it was after this relative failure that WEA dropped the band and they went their separate ways.

2) Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 2000, Scarlet are a technical metalcore band who also utilize electronic elements. They released the EP 'Breaking the Dead Stare' in 2000 which was followed in 2003 by the more complex and experimental 'Something to Lust About' shortly after signing to Ferret Music. They released the concept album 'Cult Classic' in 2004 before deciding to call it a day.

However, in 2005, the group re-united with a revised line up to release 'This Was Always Meant to Fall Apart'. Their last lineup consisted of Andreas Magnusson (Drums/Electronics), Brandon Roundtree (Vocals), Randy Vanderbilt (Guitar/Vocals) and Bryan Tolbert (Guitar).

The band called it quits permanently after Roundtree (vocals) left the band in early 2007.

However their myspace hints slightly that this break may not be permanent.

3) Defunct Sydney band who recently reemerged as Luxury. Released an EP called "Siren" (1993) and one album called "Magnolia" (1995).

4) Scarlet is a Chinese jazz singer, from the record label TIS (Treasure Island), singing famous jazz standards.

5) Scarlet is an American post-rock, progressive, alternative, and acoustic band based out of St. Louis, MO. Current members are Jeremy Tripp, Katy Durrwachter, Jon Todd, John Pecher, and Ben May. Scarlet can be found easiest at www.myspace.com/wearescarlet and on Last.fm at last.fm/wearescarlet. They are expected to release their debut EP in 2009.

6) Scarlet was a 6-member (some websites state four member), female K-pop group formed by Funny Collection Entertainment that appeared in 2014, released two singles and permanently disbanded sometime in 2015. Although debuting as a 6-member group (Sara, JiHye, Kimi, Rabyuel, Yerim and Aromi), it's been stated on some websites that it was announced sometime that same year that Yerim and Aromi would be leaving and Scarlet reformed as a 4-member group to release Hip Song. There is still some confusion on this point as although the claim of reforming as a four member group is made across a few sites, five members are in the music video for Hip Song - Sara, JiHye, Kimi, Rabyuel and Aromi. After Scarlet disbanded, Kimi joined another K-pop group, BULLDOK.

7) Scarlet (Styalized as 'SCARLET') is a metal group from Sweden, founded on 22nd September, 2017. Led by vocalist Scarlet Hunts. Debut album 'Obey The Queen' will be released on November 13th, 2020, via Arising Empire.

Human Pollen
Scarlet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey human pollen
Infect us all
Our rubber gloves
Will protect our fall
Just let the A.I.D.S. police go aghead and shoot first
And ask questions later
Shoot, shoot
Let them shoot

Let them let them shoot
Let them shoot
Neophytes are alive by insect bites
Showing ever flaw in flourescent lights
Shoot shoot

Let them let them shoot
Let them shoot

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Scarlet's song "Human Pollen" have an intriguing connotation and seem to be evocative of various interpretations. The opening line, "Hey human pollen, Infect us all," might be a reference to people spreading their influence and values to those around them, akin to how pollen is dispersed by the wind. The idea of rubber gloves protecting a fall is symbolic of safeguarding oneself from the repercussions of one's actions.

The next few lines, which state that the A.I.D.S. police should shoot first and ask questions later, can be seen as a critique of the authorities' willingness to use violence as a solution to issues without considering the repercussions. The repetition of "Let them shoot" highlights the need for urgency in taking action, even if it means extreme measures.

Furthermore, the lyrics referring to insect bites leading to the survival of neophytes and the subsequent display of their flaws in fluorescent light, suggest that people are resilient and can exist within harsh environments but may reveal their vulnerabilities when placed under scrutiny. Overall, the lyrics of "Human Pollen" seem to be a commentary on human behavior, our tendency to assert our influence on others, and the need for vigilance when navigating societal issues.
