Zebrahead spent summer 2006 on the Warped Tour while their new album Broadcast to the World was released in Europe on July 3 through the German based record company SPV. The album which had come out in February of the same year in Japan, went gold in just over a month's time.
Due to Zebrahead's growing popularity in Japan, Matty Lewis and Zebrahead bandmate Ali Tabatabaee were asked by SEGA to record vocals for a new theme song, entitled "His World", which appears in the game Sonic The Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The entire band later recorded an alternate version of the song for the vocal soundtrack.
The rest of 2006 was spent touring Europe and the US as part of the Broadcast To The World Tour.
In March 2007, the band took two months off to begin writing new material for their, currently as of yet, untitled new studio album. The band later returned to Europe in May on a co-healine tour with MxPx and a headline UK tour. From June - July of the same year, Zebrahead toured America, supporting Unwritten Law with the band Bullets and Octane. On completion of the tour, Zebrahead spent more time writing material for their new album which had a planned release date of February, 2008.
Recently, after several of the active users at MFZB.com made it apparent they were in need of update from the band during this 'quiet' period, Zebrahead responded by posting a video update to YouTube which was promised as "the first of many". The video talks about the writing/recording process and has an update on Zebrahead's official fanclub.
October 2007 saw the return of Zebrahead to the UK as part of the annual Get Happy Tour where they shared the stage with Army of Freshmen, The Bloodhound Gang and Bowling For Soup. Zebrahead will be returning to Download 2008 (UK) after their first appearance in 2006. For the rest of 2007 the band continued to write songs for the new album. Demos were recorded and received input from Jason Freese of Green Day fame.
In March 2008 Zebrahead entered the studio and recorded 18 songs for their new album. The first two songs, including "Art Of Breaking Up" were recorded with Howard Benson, while the remaining 16 were recorded with Cameron Webb. Zebrahead released clips giving an insight into the making of the album the same month.
June saw Zebrahead return to the UK and Europe to headline a tour and play certain festival dates including Download, Leeds Slam Dunk Festival and Greenfield Festival. Several new songs from the upcoming album are likely to make their debut appearance in live form.
On May 17th 2008, it was revealed via the band's MySpace tagline that the upcoming album would be entitled "Phoenix". A day later, Zebrahead's fan blog, Postcards From Hell, revealed that the first single from the album would be entitled "Mental Health" and its music video was be directed by Elliot Dillman of Pandaworks.
In August 2010, Zebrahead has confirmed through video updates on their website that they have begun writing a new studio album. In the video, Ali Tabatabaee said that the band intends on entering the studio to record before the end of the year, and it has been mentioned through Twitter that the projected release date is early 2011.

Let me go
Zebrahead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And some want to feel what's inside of me
But I've been here twice before oh
I've been here twice before
And I notice you
Spy satellite snapping shots from the skylight
Endo you know buffers up to a highlight
If present lived hindsight, you would be dynamite
Butterfly crucify yourself straight gemini
Checking out grey clouds burning out blue skies
Even high tides rail slides break for landslides
Just another ride got shot goodbye side
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you again and
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you here again
Well some wear their feelings right on their sleeve
And some want to feel what's inside of me
But I've been here twice before oh
I've been here twice before
And I notice you
Spy satellite snapping shots from the skylight
Endo you know buffers up to a highlight
Ink to the skin tight burned in the sunlight
If present lived hindsight, you would be dynamite
Butterfly crucify yourself straight gemini
Checking out grey clouds burning out blue skies
Even high tides rail slides break for landslides
Just another ride got shot goodbye side
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you again and
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you here again
You wanted something different
You confused the lines
And now you're trying, you're trying to make this
Better 'cause you know you can't rewind
Can't go back if that's what you're doing
'Cause everything looks dope in slow motion
But you got taxed in all the commotion
Then you got waxed for all your devotion
Floating in space
No locomotion
'Cause everything looks dope in slow motion
But you got taxed in all the commotion
Then you got waxed for all your devotion
Floating in space
No locomotion
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you again and
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you again
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you again and
Don't let me go
I know I'm always late to see you
I can't wait to see you here again
The lyrics to Zebrahead's song "Let Me Go" are a mix of introspection and pleading. The first verse talks about the singer's hesitation to get involved in a new relationship because they've been hurt before. They acknowledge that some people wear their emotions on their sleeve and are open to connection, but the singer has been hurt twice before and is cautious. The repetition of "I've been here twice before" emphasizes their past experiences and how they are influencing their current situation. Despite this caution, the singer notices the other person and is drawn to them.
The second verse switches gears a bit and uses some interesting imagery. The "spy satellite snapping shots from the skylight" line evokes feelings of being watched or observed, which could relate to the vulnerability of starting a new relationship. The rest of the lines are a little more difficult to interpret, but seem to be describing situations where things can quickly shift or change (buffering up to a highlight, burning out blue skies, rail slides breaking for landslides). The idea of "just another ride got shot goodbye side" could relate to the idea that relationships can take unexpected turns or end abruptly.
The chorus repeats the plea to not let the singer go, and acknowledges that they are often late to see the other person. There's a sense of urgency and importance here - the singer really wants to see this person and doesn't want to lose the connection they have.
The final section of the song talks about trying to salvage a relationship that has already suffered. The lines "you confused the lines / and now you're trying, you're trying to make this / better 'cause you know you can't rewind" suggest some mistakes were made, and now there's effort being put in to fix things. The lines about everything looking dope in slow motion could mean that in the early stages of a relationship, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and ignore potential problems. The final lines about floating in space with no locomotion could be a metaphor for feeling lost or stuck in a relationship that isn't going anywhere.

Well some wear their feelings right on their sleeve
Some people show their emotions easily and openly
And some want to feel what's inside of me
Some people want to understand my emotions and thoughts
But I've been here twice before oh
I've experienced this situation twice before
I've been here twice before
I've dealt with similar situations in the past
And I notice you
I am aware of your presence and actions
Spy satellite snapping shots from the skylight
The actions and intentions of others are being closely monitored
Endo you know buffers up to a highlight
Numbing substances are being used to cope with intense emotions
Ink to the skin tight burned in the sunlight
Tattoos are permanently etched onto the skin
If present lived hindsight, you would be dynamite
If the past were different, you could have had great potential
Butterfly crucify yourself straight gemini
Conflicting personalities can cause inner turmoil and self-destruction
Checking out grey clouds burning out blue skies
Focusing on negativity can obscure positivity
Even high tides rail slides break for landslides
Even seemingly strong situations can crumble and fall apart
Just another ride got shot goodbye side
Another failed attempt at a relationship
Don't let me go
Please hold on to me
I know I'm always late to see you
I struggle to make time for you
I can't wait to see you again and
I am eager to spend time with you
You wanted something different
You desired a change from your current situation
You confused the lines
You mixed up your priorities and intentions
And now you're trying, you're trying to make this
You are attempting to fix what went wrong
Better 'cause you know you can't rewind
You realize that you cannot change the past
Can't go back if that's what you're doing
Trying to relive the past will not lead to progress
'Cause everything looks dope in slow motion
Things can seem great when viewed from a distance or in hindsight
But you got taxed in all the commotion
You faced consequences during the chaotic times
Then you got waxed for all your devotion
Your efforts and dedication were not enough
Floating in space
Feeling lost and directionless
No locomotion
Unable to move forward or progress
I can't wait to see you here again
I am excited for the opportunity to spend time with you again

This song is sooo good. I really wish Justin stayed in the band. Each album of theirs at this point in time had been unique and evolved and I have no doubt that a fourth album with Justin in it would've been amazing awesome and unique

I love this song, and Zebrahead. Am I the only one that is reminded of TWEWY by Ali's segments of the song? The lyrics just seem so... random, but they flow, like most of the songs in TWEWY.
