In July 2000 they toured Canada as part of YTV's PsychoBlast Tour, supporting Christina Aguilera and also headlining the Canadian tour in 2001. In Fall of 2000 they toured along with Destiny's Child, as support act for Christina Aguilera's "Genie in a Bottle Tour" throughout North America. They were the support act for NSYNC on the Eastern North America dates of Leg 2 of the "No Strings Attached Tour" in 2000.
After promotion and touring for their first album had completed, soulDecision went on a long hiatus which resulted in a big change in line-up. In 2004, Dave Bowman left the band, and three additions took place to the band: James Reid (guitar), Tino Zulfo (bass) and Terepai Richmond (drums). Before the release of their second album, 'Shady Satin Drug', the band claimed that their original line-up was badly influenced by the record company, given a marketing-based image that they didn't agree with.
With the album being released on lead singer Trevor Guthrie's record label, Sextant Records, the band was allowed more artistic freedom over their work. The album subsequently was released in Canada only in October 26, 2004 although it was available for purchase online through their official website. With "Shady Satin Drug", the band moved towards a more upbeat and danceable sound that was more similar to their hit single, "Faded". The band became marketed more as credible musicians rather than as a pop band, as seen by their music video "Kiss The Walls". While the band received major airplay with their single, "Kiss The Walls", the album sales were significantly low only selling 10,000 copies.
Since then, soulDecision have disbanded with lead singer Trevor Guthrie announcing a solo career.
Gravity
SoulDecision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Simply irresistible
And certainly you're kissable
But next to you I'm way too shy
And I lose my back bone
Leave my feelings unknown
Play should've could've on my own
Then I'm left to wonder why
This is all so hard
Letting down my guard
It's all the same, it's you I blame
But maybe that's not right
So I'll blame, Gravity
For always holding out on me
When I just want to run away
It trips me and I fall for you
Makes perfect sense to me
Lose responsibility
Then every time I fail to see
How easy this could be
I can put the blame on Gravity
You're undeniable
Truly unbelievable
And certainly achievable
If only I could speak my mind
But I deliberate
Simple things, I complicate
Then I think it best to wait
It happens to me all the time
This is all so hard
Letting down my guard
It's all the same, it's you I blame
But maybe that's not right
So I'll blame, Gravity
For always holding out on me
When I Just want to run away
It trips me and I fall for you
Makes perfect sense to me
Lose responsibility
Then every time I fail to see
How easy this could be
I can put the blame on Gravity
There is something I must confess
I was happy with loneliness, oh yeah
Weightless is so easy to be
Now I'm up in a different spin
Out of control and completely into you
So why put the blame on me
When I can put the blame on Gravity
The lyrics to SoulDecision's song Gravity express the challenges of pursuing love and relationships when the fear of vulnerability and rejection is too overwhelming. The singer is infatuated with someone who is "unavoidable," "simply irresistible," and "truly unbelievable," but feels too shy and insecure to express their feelings. They often second-guess themselves and get caught up in overthinking every little thing, which leads them to play the "should've could've" game and leaves them feeling frustrated and confused.
The chorus of the song shifts from blaming the person they're infatuated with to blaming "Gravity" for "always holding out" on the singer. Gravity, in this case, serves as a metaphor for the forces that prevent the singer from letting go and pursuing the love they desire. However, towards the end of the song, the singer confesses that they were once content with loneliness and that feeling "weightless is so easy to be." They acknowledge that they're "out of control and completely into" the person they're infatuated with and ultimately decide to "put the blame on Gravity" instead of taking the risk and potentially getting hurt.
Line by Line Meaning
You're unavoidable
You are always around and cannot be avoided
Simply irresistible
You are very attractive and difficult to resist
And certainly you're kissable
You are definitely someone who can be kissed
But next to you I'm way too shy
I feel extremely shy when I am close to you
And I lose my back bone
I become weak and unable to stand up for myself
Leave my feelings unknown
I keep my emotions hidden and do not express them
Play should've could've on my own
I regret not taking action and constantly think about what could have been
Then I'm left to wonder why
I am confused and do not understand the situation
This is all so hard
The situation is difficult and challenging
Letting down my guard
Allowing myself to be vulnerable and open
It's all the same, it's you I blame
I feel like everything is going wrong and I blame you for it
But maybe that's not right
Perhaps it is not fair to blame you
So I'll blame, Gravity
I will blame the force that attracts me to you
For always holding out on me
Gravity is not allowing me to escape my feelings for you
When I just want to run away
I wish to escape the situation and my feelings for you
It trips me and I fall for you
Gravity pulls me towards you and makes me fall for you
Makes perfect sense to me
It is logical for me to feel this way
Lose responsibility
I am not accountable for my feelings because of Gravity
Then every time I fail to see
I keep missing the opportunity to understand the situation
How easy this could be
It would be simple if I allowed myself to be open and honest
I can put the blame on Gravity
I can hold Gravity responsible for my feelings for you
There is something I must confess
There is something important that I need to admit
I was happy with loneliness, oh yeah
I used to be content being alone
Weightless is so easy to be
Being free of attachment is simple and easy
Now I'm up in a different spin
My situation has changed and I am caught up in emotions
Out of control and completely into you
I am overwhelmed and consumed by my feelings for you
So why put the blame on me
It is not fair for me to take responsibility for my attraction towards you
When I can put the blame on Gravity
I can attribute my feelings towards you to the force of Gravity instead of blaming myself

“Trips me and I fall for you,” still makes me smile to this day. Such a cleverly innocent line.

I always thought the line was « kiss me and I’d fall for you »
