At the time Crispin was the front man of Everything After, where creative differences led to his departure. Crispin was gaining attention as a songwriter with credits on Motley Crue's drummer Tommy Lee's solo CD Tommyland: The Ride. Eric, who had recently relocated back to Vancouver after a stint in Los Angeles with 40 Foot Echo (Hollywood Records), was working on projects of his own.
After writing for months with such a positive attitude, it was time to find band-mates who shared their mindset. While recording the first batch of āTVUā songs Eric and Crispin were introduced to Roots and Fid through a mutual friend. The four musicians became close friends in these studio sessions before they had even picked up instruments to jam with one another. Roots and Fid had played in a band together prior to this, and after numerous North American tours had decided it was time to do their own āveeringā away from an unpleasant situation and join Crispin and Eric.
Finally the last piece of the puzzle was put into place when the band met drummer, Neil. As the youngest member of the group, Neil, was forced to learn the ways of this industry very quickly but this was something he was more than ready to strive for.
After nearly two years of endless touring arcross the continent, the band signed a record deal with Universal/Motown Records out of New York City. The label had taken notice of the hard working group and it is now time to hit the studio to record the bands Major Label debut with producer Greg Archilla (Collective Soul, Matchbox 20, Buckcherry).
Borderline
The Veer Union Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
Try, to speak, out loud, your silence me but now,
I'll stand my ground, I'll let you know that:
I'm tired of being told to bite my tongue,
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
It's like a nightmare but I'm lying awake,
About to loose my mind
It's time to face my fear
And then I will make it disappear.
The war in me you set this thing to die,
You set it free I'll let you know that:
I'm tired of being told to bite my tongue,
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
It's like a nightmare but I'm lying awake,
It's got me thinking that I am borderline.
About to lose my mind,
It's time to face my fear,
And then I will make it disappear.
Disappear.
I'm tired of being told to bite my tongue,
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
It's like a nightmare but lying awake,
It's got me thinking that I am borderline.
About to loose my mind,
And now you will see your time has come,
Pay for all this damage done,
Face my fear and then I will
Make you disappear.
Disappear.
The Veer Union's song "I Will Remain" is a powerful anthem of standing up for oneself and facing fears. The opening lines, "I'm tired of being told to bite my tongue, I wanna scream at the top of my lungs," indicate a sense of frustration and repression. The singer is tired of being silenced and is ready to speak out and take action. The mention of feeling borderline and about to lose their mind suggests that this repression has been weighing on them.
However, the chorus provides a sense of empowerment and resolve. The singer is determined to face their fear and make it disappear. The line "the war in me you set this thing to die" implies that someone else has caused this inner turmoil and repression, but the singer is ready to take control and make it right. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes their determination and strength.
In the final verse, the singer turns their attention to the person who caused their repression. They will no longer be able to ignore the damage they have done and will be held accountable. The final line, "make you disappear," indicates the singer's desire to rid themselves of this negative influence and move on with their newfound strength and confidence.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm tired of being told to bite my tongue,
I'm fed up with keeping quiet and suppressing my voice.
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs.
I want to shout and express myself fully.
Try, to speak, out loud, your silence me but now,
You attempted to silence me by telling me to keep quiet, but now...
I'll stand my ground, I'll let you know that:
I will stay firm and make it clear that...
It's like a nightmare but I'm lying awake,
Although I'm not sleeping, it feels like a bad dream.
It's got me thinking that I am borderline.
It's causing me to question my stability and sanity.
About to lose my mind,
I'm on the verge of losing my sanity.
It's time to face my fear,
It's time to confront the thing that scares me.
And then I will make it disappear.
And then I will make it vanish or overcome it.
The war in me, you set this thing to die,
You triggered a battle within me that could destroy me.
You set it free, I'll let you know that:
But instead of being defeated, I will let you know that I'm strong and free.
And now you will see your time has come,
Your time of reckoning has arrived.
Pay for all this damage done,
You will face the consequences for the harm you've caused.
Face my fear and then I will
Confront my fear head-on and then I will...
Make you disappear.
Make you vanish or overcome you.
