During the first 2 years, Haifa city’s- Useless ID were mainly active in the Israeli punk/hardcore scene and after releasing their first demo tape they got sick of all the spitting at the local shows and decided it’s time to bail and move to the States for a while . It was around 1997 when they packed their shit and went on to play their first ever show abroad in 90210 Gilman street in Berkley CA. The band ended up staying in the SF Bay Area and played countless shows in basements, living rooms, back yards, community centers and club shows mostly in the west coast and sometimes with cool bands like – Lifetime, Good Riddance, H2O, Angry Samoans, TSOL, Teen Idols and many more.. Later on, between long U.S. tours the band recorded their first two albums and released them on their own label – Falafel Records (named after their favorite food) . While on tour, after playing a show with The Ataris, they caught the ear of Kris Roe (the Ataris) and the two bands ended up releasing a split album together on Kung Fu Records (“Let It Burn”). Following the split album with The Ataris, Useless ID got signed by Kung Fu, who put out their next 3 albums( between 1999 – 2005 ) In addition to their past releases. In between releases, Useless ID have put out many 7′s, 10”, splits and comps’, a DVD and also been featured on the Fat Wreck Chords compilations – “Short Music for Short People” and “Rock Against Bush # 2” . After an awesome experience recording their last record for Kung fu – “Redemption” with producers Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore @ the Blasting Room Studios in Ft’ Collins CO’, Useless ID returned to the Blasting Room In 2007 to record their next record - ”The Lost Broken Bones” that came out in 2008 on Suburban Home Records in North America and on 4 other Labels -worldwide. In support of all of their records and releases, Useless ID have toured many times all over the planet : The U.S, Europe & The U.K, Japan, Australia, Russia and even places like China, Belorussia, Siberia, Palma de Mallorca and of course – Israel. Playing club shows and festivals such as -Vans Warped Tour, SXSW, Rock In Idro, Resurrection fest, and etc’ ,touring with bands like – No Use For A Name, Frenzal Rhomb, NOFX, The Vandals, Nerf Herder, Punchline, Strike Anywhere, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, This Is A Standoff, Die Toten Hosen, and many more and then punishing some of these great bands by bringing them over to play shows in Israel for a bowl of Hummus, Falafel and a burn in the eye at the shitty salty Dead Sea. In 2011, Useless ID returned to the Blasting Room Studios to record their 7th Album – “Symptoms” (Fat Wreck Chords) once again (for the 3rd time in a row) with Producers Bill Stevenson ,Jason Livermore and the Blasting Room crew wrapping up 12 hot new tracks .

End
USELESS I.D. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing to hold on to when you're alone, then you find each other.
She heard you're leaving in august.
You promise to write, she's waiting at home.
An unanswered call.
I want you to know I'm alright and missing you.
Too bad I'm stuck here with words from a note you sent long ago: "I'd love you forever"
But I'll be back in november.
I know that by then it will be the end.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "End" by USELESS I.D. paint a picture of a long-distance relationship that is about to come to an end. The opening line of "Nothing to hold on to when you're alone, then you find each other" suggests that the couple in question came together out of loneliness, but now that connection is about to be severed. The second line, "She heard you're leaving in august," implies that one of them is moving away, further emphasizing the distance between them. The third line, "You promise to write, she's waiting at home," shows that there is still hope for the relationship, with one partner promising to keep in touch while the other waits patiently. However, the fourth line, "An unanswered call," indicates that this promise may not have been kept, and that communication may have broken down.

The fifth line, "I want you to know I'm alright and missing you," shows that the singer still cares for their partner, but is also trying to put on a brave face. The sixth line, "Too bad I'm stuck here with words from a note you sent long ago: 'I'd love you forever'" reflects the feelings of nostalgia and longing that come with a long-distance relationship, and the difficulty of holding onto the memory of something that has passed. Finally, the seventh and eighth lines, "But I'll be back in november. I know that by then it will be the end," bring the song to a close, emphasizing the inevitability of their separation and the hopelessness of trying to hold onto something that is already slipping away.

Overall, "End" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the complex feelings of love and loss that come with any long-distance relationship. It speaks to the universal experience of trying to hold onto something that is slipping away, and the pain of saying goodbye to someone you care about deeply.
