Sister Machine Gun founder Chris Randall and guitarist Miguel Turanzas are, without a doubt, one of music's hardest working duos. In addition to recording, producing, and touring, they also run their own record label, Positron! Records. Not simply a vehicle for SMG, the label has unleashed 17 releases including albums from Van Christie (Die Warzau), Matt Walker (Filter/Smashing Pumpkins/Cupcakes) and Mike Fisher (Machines of Loving Grace).
SMG's extensive catalog explores just about every genre of modern music, from electro-funk dance to Hendrix-flavored industrial strength rock. Their seventh release, Influence, is an elektro-industrial tour-de-force that recalls the industrial sound of the late eighties and early nineties. Heavy beats, distorted guitars and pounding synth lines drag your favorite sounds kicking and screaming into the future.
Sister Machine Gun's catalog of critically acclaimed albums includes four on the pioneering Wax Trax! label: Sins Of The Flesh (1992), The Torture Technique (1994), Burn (1995), and Metropolis (1997); plus three on their own Positron! Records: [R]evolution (1999) sistermachinegun: 6.0 (2001) and Influence (2003). The liner notes of these albums read like a veritable Who's Who of modern music, and include Reeves Gabrels (David Bowie/Tin Machine), Sascha & En Esch (KMFDM), Charles Levi (Thrill Kill Kult/Pigface), Gino Lenardo (Filter), Scott Churilla (The Rev. Horton Heat), Matt Walker (Filter/Smashing Pumpkins/Cupcakes), and Jim Marcus & Van Christie (Die Warzau).
With fans that treat the band as a religion, and an online presence second to none, Sister Machine Gun are Chicago's Ambassadors of Industrial.
Wrong
Sister Machine Gun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you are gone and I'm alone now
Not much more can I pretend
So don't you think that I miss you
It's a good thing that you're gone
And don't you think that I'm broken down
'Cause baby, you'd be wrong now
You'd be wrong
I'm getting over you
Believe me when I say it's true
If you're thinking that I love you
Well baby, you'd be wrong now
You'd be wrong
Well it's no surprise that you left me
I knew it from the start
That you didn't have the backbone
And you couldn't play the part
So don't you think that I miss you
I'm relieved that you are gone
And don't you think that I'm fallen down
Cause baby, you'd be wrong now
You'd be wrong
I'm getting over you
Believe me when I say it's true
If you're thinking that I love you
Well baby, you'd be wrong now
You'd be wrong
Well I knew you'd think I needed you
And that was your mistake
You lied about the giving
All you ever did was take
So don't you think that i miss you
'Cause I'm glad that you are gone
And don't you think that I'm coming down
Cause baby, you'd be wrong now
You'd be wrong
The lyrics to Sister Machine Gun's song "Wrong" are a brave and honest expression of strength and redemption after a relationship has ended. The singer wakes up every morning with the realization that their partner is gone and they are alone. However, instead of dwelling on the pain or missing their ex, they state that it's a good thing that they're gone and that they are relieved. The singer wants to clear any possible misunderstanding and let their ex know that they are not broken down or fallen down without them.
The chorus of the song repeats the message that the singer is moving on and getting over their ex, and that they never really loved them in the first place. The second verse implies that the singer knew from the beginning that the relationship wasn't going to work out, as their ex lacked the strength and character to play their part. The singer emphasizes that they don't miss their ex and they're actually glad that they left.
In the final verse, the singer states that their ex was mistaken for thinking that they needed them, and that the ex's lies and taking outweighed any giving. The singer concludes by stating that they are not coming down or missing their ex, and that their ex would be wrong to assume otherwise.
Overall, "Wrong" is a powerful and empowering breakup song that affirms the strength and resilience of those who come out of a relationship stronger and wiser.
