The band was originally named NC17 but had to change their name due to some dispute with a US band of the same name. The original drummer was Morris Palter (from inception to 1997) who is now a reknowned percussionist and assistant professor of music.
The band released 5 studio albums in their time, but Greig Nori disbanded Treble Charger in 2006, ending its 14 year existence.
Greig Nori continues to work for Bunk Rock Entertainment as the manager/producer of Canadian Rock Band Sum 41.
Bill Priddle is involved with many projects post-Treble Charger, working with Broken Social Scene and Don Vail as well as releasing an album of solo material as The Priddle Concern
Trevor MacGregor was the drummer during what was the last 9 years of Treble Charger, thus making him the longest drummer to stay with them. He is now currently the drummer of Four Square.
On January 20, 2012, it was confirmed that the band will reunite (without Martin and MacGregor).
In Your Way
Treble Charger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Does not disturb me now
It's nothing much to speak of much less say
There's something wrong I know it
What I saw yesterday
Set my teeth on edge
What I could bide before was no more
What would you like to say?
It's all been done, it's all been done
You'll find nothing in your way
It's all been done, it's all been done
What I knew yesterday
Seemed enough at the time
Should've guessed the way you left and didn't mind
That I meant to hurt you
What would you like to say?
It's all been done, it's all been done
You'll find nothing in your way
It's all been done, it's all been done
In the song "In Your Way" by Treble Charger, the lyrics are expressing a sense of resignation and acceptance. The first verse speaks about something that may have bothered the singer the day before, but now it no longer affects them. Although they acknowledge that there is something wrong, it is not enough for them to make a fuss or speak about it. The second verse is about an event that had a greater impact, setting the singer's teeth on edge. What they could tolerate before is no longer possible, serving as a reason to move forward.
The chorus delivers a message to someone who wants to have their say or maybe prove something to the singer. The singer believes that everything has already been done before and nothing can stand in their way. The final verse deals with regrets about what the singer thought they knew yesterday. They thought they had enough information, but they failed to understand what was going on. They let the person who hurt them leave without fighting back and instead, they are left wishing that they would have done something differently.
Overall, "In Your Way" is a song that speaks to the idea of letting go of things that we can't change and trying to move forward. It is about accepting that sometimes we don't have all the answers, but choosing to not let it hold us back and continuing to strive for better.
