1. Texas - home of big trucks, savory barbeque, and the next big thing: Terminal. Proudly declaring Dallas their home, Terminal’s five youthful members, ranging in age from 18 to 21, bring anything but a youthful sound to the table. Already garnering comparisons to everyone from Jimmy Eat World to Further Seems Forever and Recover, Terminal’s style ranges from cathartic and soaring to fragile and delicate, while still maintaining a passionate intensity throughout. The band’s explosive debut album, “How the Lonely Keep,” debuted June 28th, 2005 on Tooth & Nail Records.
In 2006, Terminal broke up. Former band members moved on to other projects.

3. Terminal - a progressive metal band from Poland
From their modest beginnings in Poznan Poland they walked through modern music combining inspirations of each member, varying from progressive metal to r'n'b. But the goal was always the same .. best quality, true emotions, true music. TERMINAL have played by these three simple rules. With their new, four songs demo, the synthesis of different genres stimulates the senses, but the punch and energy still keeps TERMINAL close to metal.
Organised work, and determination allowed to compose, arrange, produce and record the music by the band itself.. New songs are being composed to fit the style, which some compare to Linkin Park, Dream Theater, Planet X...
Experience gained in a previous projects helped to follow the right path. Daniel (voc.) was a singer in choir, he's a fresh blood in the band and his energizing personality inspire other members to explore some brand new musical spaces. Daniel (keys) with his classical background wrote a few movie soundtracks, which Patrick (gt.) also participated in, as producer and engineer. Patrick on the other hand is more into the heavy sound productions. Greg (dr.) and Bartez (bass) grow up from jazz and fusion, now taking delight in r'n'b, soul and urban music, but they find themselves great in heavier style. Jack's (gt) strong point is the inclination into metal music. He is the brain of the band when it comes to shred and heavy riffs, but also very flexible playing.
This all can be heard in their songs, flavoured with arrangements of the whole band.
The debut CD will see a daylight in 2009. It's going to be a very interesting position because of the special guest- Virgil Donati (www.virgildonati.com), who recorded two songs with TERMINAL

Terminal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As long as we don't end up here
we need to find our own way
Believe in something we half made
we're making good time
Remember where we were last year
Looking for something to do and telling ourselves
we need to find our own way
Believe in something we half made
We need to find our own way
Believe in something we half made
so many times I dreamt a normal life
Seeing her at night and what it must feel like
To wake up in my bed
No ringing in my head
It's been sometime
It's been sometime
it's based on love
We'll never know
What the world could be
Where this could go
called home to say I'm doing better
Think I've finally may have myself together
we need to find our own way
Believe in something we half made
We need to find our own way
Believe in something we half made
The lyrics of Terminal's song Maps showcase a journey of self-discovery and finding one's place in the world. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song - the singer doesn't care about reaching their destination as long as they don't end up where they started. This could mean they are determined to move forward and progress in life rather than being stagnant. They aim to find their own way and believe in something they have created themselves. This shows a desire for autonomy and not relying on external factors for validation.
Throughout the song, the theme of finding one's own way is repeated, emphasizing the importance of self-discovery and not conforming to societal norms. The lines "We're making good time, remember where we were last year" highlights the progress the singer has made over time. They have come a long way from driving around a tired town aimlessly, looking for something to do. The repetition of the phrase "Believe in something we half made" suggests that they may not have everything figured out yet but they are willing to take a chance on themselves and their aspirations.
The song then delves into a dream sequence, where the singer fantasizes about a normal life with someone they love. They envision waking up in bed without any ringing in their head, possibly indicating they have found a sense of peace and contentment with themselves. The song ends on a positive note with the singer telling someone they have finally got their life together and are making progress towards their goals.
