Formed in 1998, Spitalfield caught the attention of Victory Records with the 2002 release of The Cloak And Dagger Club EP and a year later released fan-favorite Remember Right Now. Spitalfield also released an album titled Stop Doing Bad Things in 2005 which featured songs like "Gold Dust V. The State Of Illinois" and "So I heard You Joined a Convent". The band's name comes from what members describe as a village where Jack the Ripper came from. The name for this location is actually Spitalfields, and it is not a village but a section of London's East End. In the summer of 2005 Bassist T.J. Minich departed from the band and TJ Milici came on board to take his place. In August of 2006, guitarist Dan Lowder left the band under "Personal Reasons" and was replaced with Jeff Meilander (formerly of Seven Days of Samsara and Bosio). However Lowder is the gutarist on the October 2006 release Better Than Knowing Where You Are.

On September 10th 2007 the band announced on their Myspace that following a 25-date tour in November/December they will be 'calling it quits'. No official reason was given although they stated that 'this was absolutely nothing to do with a lack of passion for making music together or love for each other'. During the tour they will be selling a limited-edition album consisting of all their out-of print pre- Victory records back catalogue as well as selected demos from 1998-2002 through Sinister Label/Walk In Cold Records. This will only be made available at their final shows and through selected online stores. Mark Rose currently plays music as a solo artist. TJ & JD can be found playing locally around chicago & the surroding suburbs in their new band Thrillage

Kill The Drama
Spitalfield Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd really like to see you there.
I can't pretend like I don't care.
Because I really do yeah.
Please just kill the drama.
Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow.
Dream about me (about me), and don't worry
We'll be fine (be fine).

Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
What I don't know can not hurt me.
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
What I don't know can not hurt me.

I'm turning around.
I'm turning around.
I'm turning it out.
I'm taking it out.
I'm turning around.
I'm falling apart.
I'm hitting the ground.

I'm turning around.
I'm turning around.
I'm turning it out.
I'm taking it out.
I'm turning around.
I'm falling apart.
I'm hitting you down.

You said that we were leaving, I asked "where we were going."
Do you really (really)?
I just really do want everything to work out
Like the motion picture endings.
What I really (really)
What I really meant to say, to say

Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
What I don't know can not hurt me.
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
What I don't know can not hurt me.

I'm turning around.
I'm turning around.
I'm turning it out.
I'm taking it out.
I'm turning around.
I'm falling apart.
I'm hitting the ground.

I'm turning around.
I'm turning around.
I'm turning it out.
I'm taking it out.
I'm turning around.
I'm falling apart.
I'm hitting the ground.

What I don't know cannot hurt me [Repeat x2]

Can you see me?
What I don't know can not hurt me.
(please just kill the drama.
Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow.

Dream about me, and don't worry
We'll be fine.)

The song opens with the vocalist expressing a deep desire to see the person he cares about and confessing that he cannot pretend like he doesn't care. He then asks the person to "kill the drama" and assure him that they will be fine by going to sleep, dreaming about him and talking to him the next day. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Can you hear me? Can you see me? What I don't know cannot hurt me," which suggests that the singer is wrestling with trust issues and is afraid of being hurt.
