On November 22nd, 2002, the band released Trapt, along with the single "Headstrong". "Headstrong" became a fantastic hit, reaching #1 on alternative charts and #16 on pop. Follow-up singles "Still Frame" and "Echo" (with a video featuring Michelle Trachtenberg) did respectably, although they never reached the heights of "Headstrong". "Headstrong" became the official theme song of WWE Bad Blood for June 2003. Trapt eventually hit platinum. After more than one year an EP followed on March 30th, 2004, that included a new song called "Promise" along with live versions of "Made Of Glass" and "Echo".
On September 13th, 2005, the band released their sophomore album "Someone In Control" along with the single "Stand Up". "Stand Up" failed to do as well as any of their previous singles, although it still made an excellent run on active rock stations. "Waiting" and "Disconnected (Out Of Touch)", were also released as singles, and have yet to repeat the success of any of Trapt's self-titled radio hits. The band spent the first half of 2006 co-headlining with Shinedown as part of the Equinox Tour.
A live album was released in September, 2007, containing live tracks from both previous albums with new studio tracks "Stay Alive" and "Everything to Lose".
Trapt hit the studio in July 2007 to begin recording their 3rd album, which was released on 5th August 2008 named "Only Through the Pain...".
Trapt announced in late fall/early winter 2009 they were working on a new album for summer or fall release in 2010. On July 20, 2010, Trapt released their first single "Sound Off," for the upcoming album "No Apologies," due out in stores October 12, 2010.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The toughest of times we will walk right through
Open your eyes and see there's nothing we can't do
I'm right by your side and there is no way we can lose
I got your back I'm with you every step you take
Are you with me are you with me
Take your chance I'm with you every move you make
Inside of the lines we could not stay
The stars are aligned today could be our day
Your hands are untied and you are free to go your own way
Or you could shine your light on me and share the same fate
I got your back I'm with you every step you take
Are you with me are you with me
Take your chance I'm with you every move you make
Are you with me are you with me
When I get too close to the edge
Will you be there to pull me back in
No matter how hard that it gets
I'm here til the end
Are you
I want it all
But most of all I want you
I got your back I'm with you every step you take
Are you with me are you with me
Take your chance I'm with you every move you make
Are you with me are you with me
Trapt's "Are You With Me" is a song about mutual support and resilience. The song begins with a promise that they will survive whatever life throws at them. The lyrics speak of difficult times that the couple will face together and overcome. The singer urges his partner to open their eyes and realize that there is nothing that they cannot do when they are together. The couple will walk through the toughest times and come out alive. The singer assures his partner that he has got their back, and he will be with them every step of the way. He prompts his partner to take a chance and make a move, saying that he will follow and support whatever decision they make.
The song's middle section talks about taking risks and leaving the comfort zone. They cannot stay within the lines and must explore beyond it. The stars are aligned, and it could be their day. The partner's hands are untied, and they're free to go their own way, but the singer offers to be a part of it. He asks his partner to shine their light on him and share the same fate. The singer then expresses his vulnerability and asks if his partner will be there to pull him back in if he gets too close to the edge. He is willing to go through the hardships, and he is committed until the end. The singer completes the song by saying that he wants everything, but most importantly, he wants his partner.
