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.

Trapt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you're only holding yourself back
So much to say, so far to run,
out from the shadow you have cast.
The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies
Closing the door, closing your eyes,
You're only closing yourself off.
So much to see, so much to try,
Don't be afraid of what you want.
The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies
Don't wanna be no one else
What you see is what you get
No one to please, no apologies, no apologies
The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies
In Trapt's song No One, the singer urges the listener to let go of their fears and doubt, and to be true to themselves. The first verse speaks of holding back from expressing oneself and hiding away from the world. The singer encourages the listener to step out from the shadows and not be afraid to speak their mind or be who they truly are. The chorus repeats the message that the best days of their life are still ahead of them, and that they don't need to apologize to anyone for living their life according to their own terms. The second verse continues with the message of not closing oneself off from life, but instead exploring and experiencing everything that it has to offer. The final bridge firmly cements the message that the listener should not try to be anyone else, and that being true to oneself is the only way to live a fulfilling life.
Overall, No One is a powerful message about individuality and self-acceptance. The song speaks to anyone who has ever doubted themselves or felt the need to conform to the expectations of others. Through its repeated message of "no apologies", the song is a powerful reminder that living one's truth is not something to feel ashamed or sorry for.
