They take influence from many diverse sources - from the powerful atmospheres of Coil to the dancefloor energy of Front242 - yet all the while mutating and advancing towards an expanding style of flowing energy and mature lyrical concept.

cut.rate.box consists of g.wygonik and clint sand. Both share songwriting, orchestration, production, concept and graphic design, while live g.wygonik provides vocals and clint manipulates guitars and keyboards.

The cut.rate.box live performance is an emotion-filled and intense experience. To maintain an original and expressive performance, each song in the set is altered from the original album version. Because of the intricacy of the material, pre-recorded backing tracks are used, but are combined with spontaneously created synth, drum, samples, and guitar manipulations.

The cut.rate.box live experience is the combustion of the ideas originally presented in CD form.

In addition to their headlining slots, cut.rate.box has performed as opening act for many industrial favorites including Nine Inch Nails, Pop Will Eat Itself, Pigface, Die Warsau, Alien Sex Fiend, Foetus, Sheep On Drugs, VAST, Covenant, VNV Nation, Beborn Beton, and Clear Vision.

cut.rate.box has label representation with WTII Records in North American. European releases were handled through ACCESSION RECORDS.

Nothing
cut.rate.box Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are nothing, nothing like me

You who are thrilled
To kill your idols
To love your screen
And to be killed

You are nothing, nothing like me

You love the dirt
Love to hurt
Ordinary behavior
In an ordinary world

You are nothing, nothing like me

There is no doubt
You're perfect
This time

No chance to defend
You are mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Cut.Rate.Box song "Nothing" express a sense of alienation and disconnection from the world. The singer proclaims that the person they are addressing is "nothing like me," suggesting that they see a fundamental difference between themselves and the other. The lines "You who are thrilled to kill your idols, to love your screen and to be killed" suggest a fascination with celebrity culture and a willingness to follow and emulate others, even if their ultimate aim is self-destruction.

The lyrics go on to describe the other person as loving dirt and hurting others, exhibiting ordinary behavior in an ordinary world. Despite this, the singer concedes that the other person is "perfect," indicating that they may be drawn to the other's perceived confidence and self-assurance. However, there is a sense of possessiveness in the final line "you are mine," suggesting that the singer may ultimately reject this false sense of perfection and seek an authentic connection with others. Overall, the song seems to suggest a rejection of shallowness and conformity in favor of individuality and genuine connection.
