Formed in Los Angeles, CA in 2001 by Mike Bashur (guitar), Dave Gentry (drums), and Taylor Wallace (vocals), and joined in 2004 by Paul Kelly (bass), who would complete the machine that is Trigger Point, it was inevitable then, that this combination of ability, influences, and ambition would soon be making waves in the national hard rock scene. Coming from three different parts of the U.S. with one goal in mind, to give the fans what their idols gave to them - a soundtrack to life.

Before signing with up-and-coming indie powerhouse Corporate PunishmentRecords, Trigger Point had been at the forefront of the hardcore hard rock scene in Los Angeles since their inception, taking over the West Coast with an undeniable and impeccable live show, and a unique sound, a delicate balance of unforgettable melodies, commanding guitar riffs, and chest pounding grooves.. With their debut full-length album A Silent Protest produced by Logan Mader (Machine Head, Soulfly) set for release in September 2005, the reparation of rock has begun.

Right now they're searching for a new bass player.

My Time
Trigger Point Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you know, but you don't (it's my time)

Some people say that everything we do is just dumb and useless
Everything stupid but I don't believe them

That's why I strive while I'm on the inside bleeding
Why am I the only one seeing
Everything is overrated everything is over rated

Say goodbye

Hand over hand I'm crawling to my day
My time will come

Sick of you to notice and everybody knows this
You oppose it sit right down and close you're eyes

That's why I scream while I'm on the inside bleeding
Why am I the only one seeing
Everything is over rated everything is everything
So step the fuck back from me

Hand over hand I'm crawling to my day
My time will come
Hand over hand I'm crawling to my day
My time will come

Lock it up in this sea of trust you can't see what I see
And those days of pain keep reflecting back at me
And I paid the cost and all was lost but still I stood firm
And I see today that I've had my lessons learned

My time, my time, my time

Say goodbye

Hand over hand I'm crawling to my day
My time will come
Hand over hand I'm crawling to my day
My time will come

My time, my time, my time

Still I scream while I'm on the inside bleeding
Why am I the only one seeing
Everything is over rated everything is over rated

And that's why
I will live my life
Till the day I die
Exactly how I want to live it

So everybody knows but
Nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows
