We've been playing for three… Read Full Bio ↴As taken from www.myspace.com/waterview
We've been playing for three years and love what we do.
Come to a show to love what we do too.
And now with all that advertising and promotion out of the way,
it's probably time to actually tell you all a little something about ourselves.
We're four humble dudes, not really going anywhere in life, and pretty
content with that idea.
Good mates and good times have inspired us to create music as
something to remember ourselves by.
Not sure wether or not its worked but we're doing something we love and
we're better people because of it.
History
We started out practising in the downstairs room in Mitch's place,
with shitty gear and shitty neighbours.
We got a few shows at local venues and even put on a few ourselves.
Our first 'big' show was at the Palais in Feb 04.
After a few more shows we moved on to practising at Naths house.
We used the spare room there for a long time, slowly clawing our way into
the Newcastle music scene and with the help of some
great bands and friends we gradually developed
some sort of a name for ourselves.
Good or bad is irrelevant.
Again we were booted out of there
and decided to use the rehearsal rooms at RTN.
Soon there'll be rehearsal spaces available in Nelson Bay
and they'll be run by PSMA so check them out for details.
Now after two years of doing it tough
and constantly feeling like we were taking one step forward and two back,
we've just released our debut EP and have experienced some very postive results.
Constant air play on Stu Harvey's Short.Fast.Loud
Selling 100+ in the first few weeks in stores alone.
Tracks "Daybreak" and "Tallean Road Riot" reaching Numbers 4 and 6 respectively in the Punk Chart of Triple J's Unearthed
aswell as making it well into the Overall 100.
And have been booked for a tour during the months of February + March to promote the EP,
which will take them from Newcastle to Sydney, to Melbourne and Queensland.
Stay tuned for tour dates.
Every year we're like "this year will be our year",
and then it ends up being some other fuckwits year.
So next year is our year you shitheads, stay away.
DAYBREAK
Waterview Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Waterview's song "Daybreak," the lyrics paint a picture of the struggle that often comes with everyday routines. The opening line "Today has got me down" sets the tone for the rest of the song, where the singer expresses a feeling of weariness with the monotony of life. The line "nothing's stronger now than what I've come to know" suggests a sense of defeat and resignation. The singer has accepted that this is their reality and must continue to face it.
As the day breaks, the singer can only be weighed down by the burden of routine. The line "cracks begin to show" implies that they are slowly starting to break under the pressure. This is made worse by the fact that the "day has won again," suggesting that the struggle is ongoing and relentless.
The following lines "morning hours come with certainty like fireworks to flame" create a vivid image of the daily routine being set in motion, with the singer feeling like a mere spectator to their own life. The final lines of the verse "they are breaking like a burden to a back with promised failure faults and foreordained attack it's burning down this fuse and burning fast" convey a sense of impending doom. The singer knows that their routine is leading them down a path of failure, but they are powerless to stop it.
Overall, "Daybreak" is a poignant and relatable song that speaks to the struggle that many people experience in their daily lives. It highlights the monotony of existence, and the sense of helplessness that often comes with it.
Line by Line Meaning
Today has got me down
I am feeling low and disheartened today
nothings stronger now than what I've come to know
The things that I have experienced in the past are now the only things that are truly dependable and strong
as day begins to break it's all that I can take
The start of a new day is overwhelming me and I am barely able to handle it
and cracks begin to show
I am starting to show signs of breaking down
the day has won again with wearisome routine
My daily routine is dragging me down and making it difficult for me to feel productive or happy
It weights me down and renders my mind to machine.
The monotony of my daily routine is so heavy that it is making me feel like a machine with no emotions or personality
Morning hours come with certainty
I know that every morning will come without fail
like fireworks to flame
They are exciting and bright, but ultimately short-lived
We wore just to ignite the days
We used to wake up with enthusiasm and energy to start a new day
and they are breaking like a burden to a back
Now, each day feels like a heavy burden that is weighing me down
with promised failure faults and foreordained attack
I feel like every day is just another opportunity for me to fail or be confronted with more problems
it's burning down this fuse and burning fast
The pressure and stress of daily life is building up and is quickly becoming unbearable
