After a few former, collaborative rock & metal projects dissipated, Curtis Martin (guitar) Nick Tekampe (vocals) and Ian Collins (guitar) found themselves together again, continuing to try to navigate through what music has become today. The three, unwavering in their determination, efforts & creativity, set out in 2014, following their departure from the military, to produce a sound of their own in a current rock scene deprived of any substance, or originality.
2016 ushered in seasoned drummer Tim Marts as well as bassist Rob Endling, to round out the SixLight lineup.
Now with all the pieces in place, it seems there is a light at the end of the tunnel for these 5, and through continued hard work and determination, they hope to one day be the unstoppable force in Rock Music they all set out to be.
This is SixLight.
Hostage
Sixlight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cause to my disease
This town was my invention
You are my hostage
So take a deep breath
I'll pull you close
In deep thought I'll never let you go
I hope you know
Your lips may move, your mouth may speak
But you're in my prison
The place you're gonna die in
A slave to memories
The cause to my disease
I won't let go
Not letting go
You are my hostage
This town was my invention
All the heat is getting intense
I won't let go, not letting go
You are my hostage
Locked up in the back of my mind
A prisoner of how I live this life
I see no end in sight
So say goodbye!
A slave to memories
My cause to my disease
I won't let go, not letting go
You are my hostage
This town was my invention
All the heat is getting intense
I won't let go, not letting go
You are my hostage
When will somebody save me?
I'm losing to myself again
Nobody's coming to take me out
This battle is something I can't win
A slave to memories
My though to my disease
This town was my invention
You are my hostage
A slave to memories
My though to my disease
I won't let go, not letting go
You are my hostage
This town was my invention
All the heat is getting intense
I won't let go, not letting go
You are my hostage
You are my hostage
The lyrics to Sixlight's song "Hostage" speaks to the experience of being trapped by one's own thoughts and memories, unable to escape from the town or situation that has caused them pain. The singer confesses that the person they are addressing is their hostage, locked away in the back of their mind, unable to escape. The lines "A slave to memories, My cause to my disease" reveal the depth of the singer's emotional turmoil and how their memories have become both the cause and the symptom of their suffering.
Throughout the song, the singer repeats the phrase "I won't let go" as a reminder of how they are tightly clinging to their pain and preventing themselves from moving on. Additionally, the lyrics "When will somebody save me? I'm losing to myself again Nobody's coming to take me out This battle is something I can't win" highlight the singer's feelings of desperation and helplessness.
Overall, the song speaks to the human condition of being trapped by our own thoughts and past experiences, but also the possibility of escape if we are willing to let go of our pain and move forward.
