The Bones ar… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 3 bands going by the name The Bones:
The Bones are a band from Karlskrona, Sweden. Since the kick-off back in '96, these guys have been on stage several hundred times all over Europe putting on an amazing performance. But the rise to success started in the fall of 1997 when they released "The Horrorway E.P." (own label), which sold out in just a few months. This success drove the guys to put out a second mini-album titled "Six feet down and two fingers up". During the recording-sessions for "Six feet down, two fingers up", the band was contacted by the german label " People like you Records (sublabel to Century Media Records).and in the summer of '99 The Bones signed the contract. The rock'n'roll circus was about to take off! Not content with this they also signed with german booking-agency, MAD. This crazy carousel made way for their first full-length album "Screwed, blued and tattooed" which, in turn, resulted in the band touring all over Europe gaining new fans wherever they went. The Bones was rattling the cage, making some noise
In the spring of 2002 The Bones released their second album "Bigger than Jesus", again the guys recorded at the PAMA-studio backed-up by "People like you". Great reviews were echoing from all over Europe but the album also attracted some great feedback from the U.S. Touring has continued and the band has headlined several festivals and toured arenas together with Die Toten Hosen. Live The Bones have also supported bands like D.A.D, U.S. Bombs for a whole european tour, shared stages with Motörhead, Roger Miret & The Disasters, 999, Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects and so on... As you can see this is band a that play to live and live to play - down to the bone!

Flatline Fever
The Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I go for a coffee I might end up drunk
And my old dreams are back to haunt me
It doesn't matter where I stay
It doesn't matter where I go, yeah
Why do I always bang my head against the wall
Why do I always bang my head against the wall
Right back at you!
Some say that learning by doing is the way we have to live
I haven't learned jack shit, fuck, I'm getting old
Me, I, myself are back to haunt me
It doesn't matter where I stay
Why do I always bang my head against the wall
So sick and tired of doing, doing everything wrong
Why do I always bang my head against the wall
Why do I always bang my head against the wall
So sick and tired of doing, doing everything wrong
Why do I always bang my head against the wall
So sick and tired of doing, doing everything wrong
All my mistakes, all my mistakes
All that you see
Right back at you!
The Bones's song Flatline Fever is a poignant exploration of the frustrating and cyclical nature of life. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling to find their way, constantly coming up against difficulties and making mistakes. It seems as though every attempt to move forward results in two steps back, and the singer cannot escape the mistakes of their past.
The opening lines of the song, "When I try to make love it turns out to be hate / If I go for a coffee I might end up drunk," are particularly powerful. These lines suggest a sense of hopelessness, as though the singer cannot even take pleasure in the small things in life. The reference to old dreams haunting them reinforces this feeling of being trapped, as though no matter where they go or what they do, they cannot escape the past.
The repeated refrain, "Why do I always bang my head against the wall / So sick and tired of doing, doing everything wrong," further emphasizes the frustration and sense of futility that pervades the song. The use of repetition in the chorus drives home the idea that the singer is stuck in a never-ending cycle, unable to break free from their mistakes and move forward.
Overall, Flatline Fever is a powerful and relatable song that speaks to the universal experience of feeling stuck and hopeless.
