It was formed in 1999 by Koen Buyse (singer and guitarist), Marijn Horemans (drums) and Kristof Vanduren (bass). In 2003, Kristof decided to leave the band. For the summer festival shows, he was replaced by Bas Remans (Millionaire) who also joined the band in the studio for the recordings of the second album.

Although they're mostly known for their more poppy songs, their albums also show some great acoustic and harder rock songs.
They've produced four albums up to now: The Place Where You Will Find Us, One-Armed Bandit, Alien Sweetheart and Crosses.

The album Crosses was released in april 2007. The first single of the album is called Black Hope Shot Down and is a harder rock song again, after the accoustic third album...

In november 2008, they released a new album, called 4.000.000 minutes, after the time the band exists. It bundles all the singles, two new tracks and some b-sides.
The two new tracks were 4 million minutes and forgotten

In 2010, Zornik released the album Statisfaction Kills Desire.

At the moment they're working on their new album Less > More which will be released in October 2012.
This Autumn, the band will play smaller venues, having promised a different concept of concerts we're used to from the band.

Chews You Up Spits You Out
Zornik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's a friend supposed to do
When you're down
And you know
There's no love anymore
Yes I know
That the truth will not come true?
Unless the stars will not shine anymore
Yes I know

What's a friend supposed to do
When you're down
And you know
There's no love anymore
Yes I know
That the truth will not come true
Unless the stars will not shine anymore
Yes I know

It chews you up, it spits you out
And it's worse than razerblades in your mouth
It turns you inside out
It chews you up, it spits you out
And it's worse than razerblades in your mouth
It turns your world upside down

For my tears and for my glory
For the persons who ignore it
I must warn you to be sure
Your love is real
For my tears and for my glory
For the persons who ignore it
I must warn you to be sure
Your love is real
Yes I know
Yes I know

Yes I know
Yes I know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zornik's song "Chews You Up Spits You Out" reflect the feelings of someone who is going through a tough time in a relationship, and is seeking guidance from a friend. The opening lines "What's a friend supposed to do when you're down and you know there's no love anymore" suggest that the singer is struggling with feelings of loneliness and disillusionment in their relationship. They may feel like they have hit rock bottom and are in need of support.

The middle part of the song focuses on the idea that the truth may not always be what we want to hear, and that sometimes we need to accept harsh realities in order to move on. The lines "Yes, I know that the truth will not come true unless the stars will not shine anymore" show that the singer is aware that the truth can be difficult to face, but that it is necessary for growth and healing.

The chorus, which repeats the lines "It chews you up, it spits you out, and it's worse than razor blades in your mouth, it turns your world upside down" suggests that the singer is struggling to come to terms with the pain of their breakup. The use of the metaphor "razor blades in your mouth" emphasises the physical and emotional pain that they are going through.

Overall, the song is a powerful and emotional exploration of the difficulties that can arise in relationships, and the importance of friendship and support when things get tough.

What's a friend supposed to do
When you're feeling low and lost, what can your friend do to help?

When you're down
When you're feeling sad and depressed

And you know
And you understand that you're not feeling good

There's no love anymore
When you feel like there's no affection left

Yes I know
