Bandleader/founder Kirkwood began writing music as a teenager as an outlet for the pain he felt from parents' divorce. Guitarist Perry was the first to join up with Kirkwood's new project, and was quickly followed by the others as the newly formed quartet set up shop in Dallas. Seven Channels issued the independently released EP International Wonderful, and began gigging on a regular basis -- leading to being selected as one of the "Top Five Unsigned Bands in America" on VH1's 1999 Rock Across America Tour.

The new group caught a break when they won a contest called "Quit Your Day Job," which resulted in the winner receiving a record deal with the Palm Pictures label. 2001 saw the release of their self-titled major-label debut. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide

Superconnected
Seven Channels Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i hold the candle and the truth i see seems like i'm dreaming
but i know i'm still awake hold me down through the
broken part of me in case i try to run and escape

you ask me the question
"are you superconnected with me and i'll come running after you"

my friends say where did it go the face that always

used to glow but i just don't know what to tell them now somehow i've
lost the plot along the way i can't find the words to say
but i know i'll find you there tonight

try to find some kind of piece of mind a change of pace
but i'm running out of time just when i know i'll find you there
compress soul a vacant place that was torn

from me revolve into your reality
and i know i'll find you there tonight

The singer then admits that they have lost their way and cannot find the right words to communicate their feelings. However, they are optimistic and confident that they will find "you" tonight. The final stanza appears to be the singer's reminder to themselves to try to find some peace of mind while running out of time.

The lyrics suggest a person lost in their thoughts and emotions but who still has hope of finding someone or something meaningful.
