the band was spawned by andy slopsema (guitar, bass), a midwest fugitive who has outlived all his short-lived ann arbor punk rock bands, and gabriella marks (vocals, guitar), a misanthropic photographer and kusf dj. paradiddle drummer matt rickets,a fellow midwestern refugee, gives the songs a spine to stand on.

Sinombre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Otherwise you wouldn't be here
Otherwise you would have changed things
All for lack of wanting
This must be what you wanted
Why feel, it's such a pain
Better off leaving that to the pros
They're more convincing anyway
And they always have happy endings
This must be what you wanted
You're always complaining
You could call it destiny
Just to give away the blame
But there's no such thing as fair
No one owes you your share
The lyrics to Sinombre's song Wanted deal with someone who may be feeling stuck in a situation that they are complaining about, but ultimately it is what they wanted. The phrase "This must be what you wanted" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing that the person may have thought they wanted something but now they are not so sure. They may be questioning why they are feeling such pain and wondering if they should leave it to the professionals. The idea that paid actors are more convincing than real life emotions further highlights the idea that this person is struggling to understand their own feelings.
The lyrics also suggest that the person is looking to assign blame, possibly to fate or others, but they are reminded that fairness might not exist and no one owes them their share. The repetition of the phrase "This must be what you wanted" reinforces the idea that the person needs to take responsibility for their choices and accept the consequences.
