Moving away from the metal genre The Loveless play very dark, melancholic rock. The band debut was a 3 track demo recorded in 2000, followed by a full length release in 2002 called 'Star Rover'. Due to Kim Larsen's other musical commitments, like his :Of the Wand & The Moon: project the band has taken a long time to record anything new. In fact since the announcement in 2004 that a new album would come in 2005 the official website seems to have come to a complete halt.

All the Same
The Loveless Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should know by now - how I feel
You should know by now
Can't you feel it
It's only gonna hurt

It's all the same - you're leaving me again
Always the same - left me in those hellbent flames
The same old game - some things never change

It's all the same - you're leaving me again

So spare me those smiles
And spare me those tears
I'm so tired
Of all these wasted years

It's all the same - you're leaving me again
Always the same - left me in those hellbent flames

The same old game - some things never change
It's all the same - you're leaving me again
