1) Swift, formed in 1998
Swift hail from the "Camel City" (Winston-Salem, NC) and formed in 1998, they quickly established themselves in the southeastern heavy music scene. With influences ranging from Foo Fighters and Radiohead to Pantera and Metallica, the band wanted to mesh the excitement and power of aggressive music and the beauty of melody and song structure as well as focus on their stage show to captivate from a visual standpoint. In 1999 they released their debut EP "Thoughts Are Thought," which had sold a stunning 2700 copies without the benefits of any distribution. This impressive amount of sales naturally garnered the attention of the major labels.
Labels including the likes of MCA and Atlantic expressed an interest in signing Swift, but not wanting to sacrifice their creative control left Swift unable to sign away everything they had worked so hard to achieve. They decided to forge on, independently, determined to succeed and to achieve that success on their own terms. So after touring and promoting throughout 2000 and 2001, Swift decided it was time to work on a new record. Both Swift and Tribunal Records realized that their goals of achieving success on their own terms were identical, so a partnership was born.
After three extremely successful releases for Tribunal Records, SWIFT now returns with the latest installment into their ever-expanding legacy. After the release of A Communication Manual guitarist/vocalist, Taylor Mabe, was added to the SWIFT line-up. With this new blood pulsing through it’s veins SWIFT decided to “go for broke” and write an album of material that knew no boundaries and pulled from their wide array of influences. Oddly enough, we ask everyone to forget all you know or may have ever heard about the band, SWIFT. As their new album, The Absolute Uncontrollable, is unlike any SWIFT album you may have ever heard before. Old school “metal” breakdowns, catchy melodies, jaw dropping guitar solos and Gary Forsyth’s volcanic vocal barrage will surely turn every head and convince any skeptic that SWIFT are one of the most overlooked and under-rated bands in the underground scene today.

LOVESICK
Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You--I know I'm failing. it feels like my arms
Are tied to my hips, and I, just tripped I'm
Falling--
But not because I'm lovesick or am I lovesick?
It felt so warm with you and now my own bed
That are empty and I'm sleepy--
But not because I'm lovesick or am I lovesick?
It seems like my world is falling to it's end,
It seems like the color gray.
Pictures in perfect color with words to listen to,
That's the scene I saw--and now, that my hope is
Crushed, and fingernails are gone, I'm bleeding--
But not because I'm lovesick or am I lovesick?
Please don't hold out on me, the distance can't be
That far, it can't be--this is confusing me, what's
Wrong with me? what's wrong, with me?
I'm not lovesick or could I be? I'm so--confused
What's wrong with me?
The song "Lovesick" by Taylor Swift talks about the struggles of trying to hold on to someone that we love, even though it seems like things are falling apart. In the first verse, Swift expresses how she is still struggling to hold on to her love interest even though they are no longer together. She feels like her arms are tied to her hips and she just tripped and is falling. However, she is not sure if it is because she is lovesick or not.
In the second verse, she talks about how her bed feels foreign to her now that her love interest is no longer around. She hates things that are empty and feels sleepy. She then goes on to talk about how her world seems like it is falling to its end and everything seems gray. She remembers the picture of her love in perfect color with words to listen to, now that her hope is crushed, she is bleeding. Nevertheless, she is not sure if she feels this way because she is lovesick.
In the chorus, Swift begs her love interest not to hold out on her and tells them that the distance cannot be that far. She feels confused about her own emotions and wonders what is wrong with her. She then says she is not sure if she is lovesick or not.
The song talks about the confusion that comes with a failed relationship and the difficulty of understanding our own emotions. It is a relatable song for anyone who has experienced heartbreak and is trying to make sense of it.
