Band members described their home town as a place where "old people retire" such that "it's like the walking dead". Geffen Records, who had recently been acquired by MCA Records, bought the band a spot on the second stage of the 2003 Ozzfest tour. Despite being in contract limbo for quite a while, things were looking up when Geffen indicated they would finance a second album, even putting them on tour with Dope twice in 2004 and recording demos in June with Edsel Dope. They toured with Dope and Motograter in 2004 as part of the American Apathy tour.
In July 2005, Twisted Method went on an "indefinite hiatus" after guitarist Andrew Howard and drummer Ben Goins had quit the band. Howard left because he wanted to be with his family after becoming a father, and Goins "left the band for God".
Andrew Howard was found dead on Friday afternoon of September 16, 2005. He was only 23 years old. Over four years after his passing, his death still remains unsolved. Remaining Twisted Method members, Derrick Tribbett and Derek DeSantis formed a new metal group named MakeShift Romeo.
Aside from Makeshift Romeo, vocalist Derrick "Tripp" Tribbett is filling in on bass for Dope, and bassist Derek DeSantis has joined the band EkoTren, who is currently on tour with Ill Nino. Tribbett also recorded solo material under the name Sinister and collaborated with John Rich.

Thinkin about back in the day when I was afraid to say what I had to say when things change and I'm followin to release this pain
Still strugglin but I know I got myself to blame
I gave up everything to find a way to keep my veins clean
Everyone around me seems to feel ok
I need to feel for them and teach myself to do the same thing
What to do about it confused and got me rowdy
[Chorus]
This is all ill ever need
To set my mind at ease
Ill sacrifice anything to just to be
Shattered all my petty dreams away
Just let me shine
Never ever felt this way
I've only got myself to blame
This is my chance to get away
I want to shine
The beat is pumpin
There's room for nothin
I ain't stoppin
Gotta gett outta my way boy
Give an extra hour droppin
This is somethnig I could do with out
So go on about your ways
But if you want to feel this
You gotta get up and watch this
Cause no one else is
Bout to loose my mind again
But I know I won't
Cause I know that
All I want to do is shine
This is all ill ever need
To set my mind at ease
Ill sacrifice anything to just to be
Shattered all my petty dreams away
Just let me shine
Never ever felt this way
I've only got myself to blame
This is my chance to get away
I want to shine
COME ON SHOUT WITH ME NOW!
Never ever felt this way
I only got myself to blame
This is my chance to get away
I want to shine

Think about back in the day
When I was afraid to say what I had to say
But things changed and I found a way to release this pain
Still strugglin but I know I've got myself to blame
I gave up everything to find a way to keep my veins clean
Everyone around me seems to feel okay
I need to feed off of them and teach myself to do the same thing
But you know it's hard when you're scattered, shattered and had it
Don't know what to do about it, confused and getting rowdy
This is all I'll ever need to set my mind at ease
I'll sacrifice anything just to be
Shatter all my petty dreams away
Just let me shine
Never have I felt this way
I've only got myself to blame
This is my chance to get away
I want to shine
With a beat that's poppin
I know for nothing I ain't stoppin
Better get out of my way boy
Or you'll be the next one I'll be droppin
This is something I can do without
So go on about your way
For the ones who feel this you gotta get up and rock this bitch
With a stolen innocence I'm about to loose my mind again
But I can't and I won't cuz I know that all I want to do is shine
This is all I'll ever need to set my mind at ease
I'll sacrifice anything just to be
Shatter all my petty dreams away
Just let me shine
Never have I felt this way
I've only got myself to blame
This is my chance to get away
I want to shine
C'mon shine with me now! C'mon!
Never have I felt this way
I've only got myself to blame
This is my chance to get away
I want to shine
Never have I felt this way before
I've only got myself to blame
This is my chance to get away
I want to shine

I've been listening to this album for the past 15 years on and off. I've tried searching a bit about the band and their vocalist, because I think he is very very talented. This song is very sad, because he is singing about how he wants to be famous and get the fuck away from Cape Coral (this is why the album is called Escape from Cape Coma, they think it's so fucking bad there it's like you're in a coma. Nothing's happening). And he/they deserve to be famous and shine. The sad thing here is that he is most known for his role in Daisy Of Love....which is a fucking reality hookup kind of show. And now he is in a country band. He also used to be the bassist for Dope. A person with so much talent, being a bassist, known for a talk show and then in a fucking country band....this is why this song is so sad to me. The guy deserves to shine for fuck's sake.
Everybodys' favorite nobody
It sounds like he is shining already homie! A bassist, in a show? That sounds cool! And a country band!

This song is ideal for a sunny morning day in summer.
