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.

The_End
cut.rate.box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escape by dying
Young like feathers in the wind
Tremble hard when the flames are licking
We hold our hands encircling and sing along
This is the end surrounding life in precious hands
This is the end when love you give is breaking down
This is the end
Baby's breath a whisper in the chaos
Future looming dark and frightening
The gun is loaded
Vision faith
We only know if we question
Final days a resting place
Tomorrow's what we make it
The lyrics of "The End" by cut.rate.box depict a bleak and dystopian outlook on life, emphasizing the cyclical nature of destruction and rebirth. In the first verse, the lyrics suggest that we often construct walls around ourselves, leading to animosity and conflict with others. The line "Escape by dying" implies that death may be the only means of escaping this cycle of violence and hate. The following line, "Young like feathers in the wind", refers to our fragility and susceptibility to external forces. The lyricist suggests that we are easily overcome by fear and trembling, particularly in moments of crisis, such as when "flames are licking". Despite this, we still come together and hold hands, singing together as a means of comfort and solidarity.

Even amidst confusion and disorder, there is still a sense of hope and newness

Vision faith
We must trust in the unseen and believe in a better future

Final days a resting place
The end brings peace and stillness, providing a place of rest
Tomorrow's what we make it
The future is not predetermined, and we shape it based on the choices we make
