1. Formed in the early-1990s, Tilt was a Berkeley, CA-based punk rock band known for their melodic songs featuring social commentary, dark humor and intelligent lyrics. Fronted by husband-and wife team, vocalist/songwriter Cinder Block and guitarist Jeffery Bischoff with ex-Crimpshrine bassist Pete Rypins and drummer Vince Camacho, Tilt first released a successful demo that charted at local college station KALX for a month before recording their first 7" self-titled EP in January 1992. Tilt's full-length debut, Play Cell, came in 1993 on Lookout! Records and in 1995 the band released 'Til It Kills on Fat Wreck Chords with Gabe Meline on bass. The band briefly broke up in 1996, but rejoined the following year, this time with ex-Screw 32 member Jimmy Cheetah playing bass. Collect 'Em All was released in 1998, followed by Viewers Like You was in 1999 with bassist Pete Rypins returning. National tours with No Use for a Name and One Man Army followed. Tilt's 22-song B-sides and rarities compilation Been Where? Did What? surfaced in November 2001. The band is currently broken up with no plans to reconvene in the future. In 2004, Cinder Block formed Retching Red with many of the members of Oppressed Logic. In the early years of their musical career, and while touring with Tilt, Cynthia & Jeffrey Bischoff co-founded a Bay Area music merchandising company (aptly named Cinder Block, Inc.), which has grown into an multi-million dollar international operation.

2. A Polish rock group, consisting of Tomasz Lipiński - g, voc; Franz Dreadhunter - bg, LaLa - g, kbd; Tomasz Czulak - dr. The band performed with breaks in the years 1979-2003. At first the group was associated with punk scene and played the songs with lyrics in English. Tomek Lipiński- founder, leader, vocalist and guitarist - was the only one who was a member throughout the whole activity of the band.

3. A progressive trance collaboration formed by producers Mick Parks and Mick Wilson, along with John Graham (AKA "Quivver"), who later left to pursue his solo career. After Graham's departure, he was replaced by Andy Moor. Tilt is connected with the label Lost Language. They released an album titled Explorer in early 2005 containing such hits as "The World Doesn't Know" (one of the top tunes of 2004) and "New Day". They release new material quite rarely, largely due to Andy Moor's involvement in other collaborations, including Leama and Moor and Whiteroom. On November 6, 2006, they released a new album, Vaults.

4. A Washington D.C. offshoot project of go-go music legends Trouble Funk. Between 1983 and 1984, they released 2 regionally popular 12 inches on D.E.T.T. Records, the most popular being the first, "Arkade Funk".

Tilt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One thing you find
You are one step behind
Or you're closer to reaching your goal

It should have been

It's all you ever wanted
It has to be, it's got to be
It's all you ever needed
It will all make sense to you one day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tilt feat. Maria Nayler's song Headstrong seem to be about a person who keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again. The first line suggests that something is about to happen, perhaps a change or breakthrough of some sort, and it is not the person's fault that they cannot avoid it. The next line repeats the phrase "over and over" which emphasizes the repetitive nature of the person's behavior. The line "so tired, dear, you won't listen" suggests that the person is exhausted from their repeated attempts but refuses to heed any advice or learn from their mistakes.

The chorus lyrics "You scream and shout, there's no fear, there's no doubt" paints a picture of someone who is emotionally charged and confident in their actions. However, the next line "there's no danger of you letting go" implies that they are somewhat stuck in their ways and unable to move forward. The final two lines "One thing you find, you are one step behind, or you're closer to reaching your goal" are slightly ambiguous but seem to suggest that the person is either constantly making progress but never quite reaching their desired goal, or they are stuck in one place and unable to make any progress at all.

Overall, the lyrics seem to be about the frustrating and somewhat cyclical nature of personal growth, and the ways in which we often hold ourselves back from achieving our full potential.
