The follow-up was Darkest Days. Despite several strong singles including Save Yourself, It failed to sell as well as its predecessor, although it attracted attention in Canada and Australia, and the band was dropped from Columbia Records. They signed to Koch Records, issuing Stabbing Westward, which was a considerably more commercial effort than previous albums, but failed to make any impact on the mainstream charts. Before a fifth LP could be recorded, Stabbing Westward broke up in late 2002.
Since then, lead singer Hall has formed The Dreaming.
In 2019, the band reformed and began to release new (and archival) materials on COP International Productions intending to release a full-length album in 2022.

Stabbing Westward Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are all I will be
Wasted broken
Promise silent
Lies
The lyrics to Stabbing Westward's song "Lost" appear to convey a sense of hopelessness and despair. The repeated phrase "Lost is all I will be" suggests a sense of emptiness and a feeling of being adrift in life. The following line, "You are all I will be" indicates a dependence or reliance on another for meaning and purpose.
The line "Wasted broken" seems to further amplify the sense of being lost and helpless, as though one's life has been squandered and left in shambles. The next line, "Promise silent" suggests a lack of trust or faith in others. The final line, "Lies" may signify a betrayal or realization that everything one believed in was false.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lost" offer a bleak perspective on life, one in which the singer feels adrift and alone in a world of broken promises and lies.

Lost is all I will be
I feel like I have no direction or purpose, and that this feeling will continue indefinitely
You are all I will be
