Brack began playing guitar in Backseat Driver in 2003. It was a Punk/Post-Hardcore group which consistently drew a hundred people per show. Meanwhile, Lee created a band called Our First Fall with Daniel Hunter (Now Analog Rebellion), which had an indie/post-hardcore sound. By the time Backseat Driver failed due to problems with band members, Our First Fall was drawing a consistent hundred people per show. The band quickly jumped at the chance to let Brack play guitar. Brack and Lee used their differing musical approaches to their advantage, combining both traditional and radical sounds to create a unique chemistry. Lee had an inventive musical approach and Brack fine-tuned songs with his natural, music mindset. This creative path led them to experiment with electronica programs. Eventually, the band came to an impasse with Brack and Lee deciding to pursue a hybrid genre of electronica music and hardcore punk rock.

The Result was Sky Eats Airplane, created in 2005 by Lee Duck and Brack Cantrell. Following the release of several demo songs, the band became a huge online success and became well known in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. For a total of three months, Brack and Lee worked on their self-produced album titled “Everything Perfect on the Wrong Day”. The entire nine-track album was exclusively recorded and produced by the duo. On July 15th, 2006, Sky Eats Airplane held their CD release party for their debut album, and alone drew 125 people for a fantastic live show.

In the Fall of 2006, Brack left the band due to wanting to pursue softer, acoustic music. He is currently a member of Balance Problems. Lee took this as a great opportunity to have a nationwide search for the perfect singer for the band. After over two months of searching, Jerry Roush was made vocalist for the band. During the same time, local Texas metal act (in theory) broke up. In no time, three of their previous members joined the band: Zack Ordway, Johno Erickson, and Kenny Schick. Thus, Sky Eats Airplane has evolved into a full 5-piece band with two guitarists and a bassist, drummer, and singer.

In January of 2009, drummer Kenny Schick was replaced by former drummer of Periphery, Travis Orbin. Later that Year, Jerry Roush and Johno Erickson left the band as well. Roush went on to take the place of Of Mice and Men's vocalist, Austin Carlile (Formerly of Attack Attack!). Carlile was undergoing heart surgery at the time. Johno also left shortly after to pursue other opportunities.

Around the turn of 2010, both Erickson and Roush were replaced through a talent search initiated by the band. Taking the position of vocalist was Bryan Zimmerman (formerly of Abi Viscera). Taking the position of bassist, as well as backing vocalist was Elliot Coleman (formerly of Of Man Not of Machine). SEA recorded their EP, "The Sound of Symmetry" with their newest members. In August of 2010, as the band was touring, Bryan Zimmerman was unexpectedly announced as no longer being a member of Sky Eats Airplane. The band has yet to announce a new singer. Hopefully this "lead singer curse" doesn't plague the band for much longer.

Sky Eats Airplane accomplished their underground success without any mainstream promotion, instead promoting themselves entirely through word of mouth and via their MySpace page.

She Is Just A Glitch
Sky Eats Airplane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something you once told me:
No regrets, no wasted efforts.
I'm left in the wake of your returning glory.
You looked so confident in your decision,
for the light of your indifference.

So pure in your deception,
so right in your mind,

this is just my luck,
it's always been my luck.
Come closer so I can see you.
You're cold to the touch,
hasn't anyone ever told you this is just my luck?

Say what you will,
you're no longer the death of me.
This whole shipwreck has been sent to sea,
so go ahead and take what you will from me.
It doesn't matter, I've been set free.

And I am running out of words,
and I am running out of time,
to explain to you what we could have been.
Now the chance is over and I'll admit that:

I am just fine today.
You won't bring me down again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of She Is Just A Glitch by Sky Eats Airplane narrate the aftermath of a failed relationship, specifically from the perspective of the person who was left behind. The opening lines describe the feeling of abandonment, with the singer being "left in the wake" of his ex-partner's "returning glory." The relationship was ended with the decision made by the other person, and they seemed confident in their choice, which only exacerbated the singer's feelings of frustration and bad luck. This is articulated in the line 'so pure in your deception, so right in your mind,' which suggests that the person consciously deceived the singer and believes that their actions were morally justifiable.

The chorus reveals that the singer has come to terms with the end of the relationship, and that their former lover no longer holds any power over them. They have been 'set free' from the emotional baggage that comes with being obsessed with someone who no longer reciprocates their feelings. The song also conveys that the singer has made peace with the fact that the relationship is over, as they sing 'I will admit that I am just fine today.'

Overall, She Is Just A Glitch is a song about the process of moving on from a breakup, accepting that the relationship is over, and finding peace in that realization.
