Society 1 first rose to notoriety in 1999 with their debut album, "Slacker Jesus", earning massive press coverage through such media outlets as MTV, VH1, Billboard, Details, Rolling Stone, Spin, Revolver, and Kerrang!. Adding to the media frenzy was the fact that Matt Zane was an acclaimed porn director, gaining worldwide infamy for his "Backstage Sluts" series, a series of films which matched porn stars with such real-life rockers as Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, Korn's Jonathan Davis, and Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath.
Society 1's second album, "Exit Through Fear", was released worldwide in the Spring of 2003 on Earache Records. Society 1's first video, "Nothing", (in which Zane performs the first real "suspension" ever done by a singer in a music video), aired regularly on American Tv station Fuse's Uranium, along with a special episode of Uranium devoted entirely to the making-of the "Nothing" video. By the end of 2003, Society 1 had completed more touring than any other Earache band that year, supporting such acts as Dope, Twiztid, and Pissing Razors on marathon coast-to-coast tours.
In March 2004, Matt "The Lord" Zane took his suspension feat to the next level, making himself the first singer to ever sing live while suspended. Drawing over 700 fans to LA's Key Club, The Lord performed three songs live with Society 1 whilst hanging up to 30 feet above the stage, supported only by six meathooks inserted in his flesh. Orgy frontman Jay Gordon made a special guest appearance on vocals.
The "suspension show" marked Society 1's final U.S. show in support of "Exit Through Fear". In May 2004 Society 1 take their brand of rock n roll debauchery to Europe, in support of Godhead, for their first tour outside of the U.S Following the tour, the band will enter the studio to begin recording their third album (their second for Earache). Meanwhile, Society 1's third video, "Hate", was accepted by MTV2's Headbangers Ball and Fuse's Uranium.
Society 1's current line-up features Matt Zane on vocals, Dirst on bass, Atron on guitar and Berzerk Kirk on drums. They are currently working on their next full length album, Sadist Messiah, scheduled to be released in 2008.
All You Want
Society 1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Need you
To be you
Keep you
To see you
Touch you
To feel you
Love you
What do you want?
Want me
Need me
To use me
Be me
To touch me
Feel me
To lose me
Love me
I am the one you want
What do you want?
Watch it all fall down
So far away
How'd this come to be?
It is not around
Were did it go?
It can not be found
Will I ever know?
Watch it all fall down
Down
Down
Down
Go down
I am the one you want
What do you want?
The lyrics to Society 1's song All You Want are open to interpretation, but they seem to portray a person's desire to be loved and wanted. The singer reiterates the phrases "want you, need you, love you" and emphasizes their willingness to do anything to keep the attention of their desired partner. The question "what do you want?" is asked multiple times, indicating a lack of clarity in the relationship and perhaps a sense of desperation.
The chorus talks about watching everything "fall down," which could represent the breakdown of the relationship or the disappointment of unmet expectations. The phrase "it is not around, where did it go?" suggests a sense of loss or confusion. Ultimately, the song seems to capture the complicated emotions that arise when one person desperately wants the attention and affection of another.
