2) D.B.S. aka DBS or Deutsche Berittene Spetsnaz is a Russian EBM band
d.b.s was a clear example of youthful ambition.. Hailing from North Vancouver, British Columbia, the band formed in their early teens and by 11th grade (1994/1995) had built up a strong following in the Vancouver punk scene as affiliates with the infamous LVPR (Lynn Valley Punk Rockers). They went on to achieve national attention in Canada, had a significant following in the US as well, and even toured with bands like D.O.A and RANCID.
With a wavering lineup the d.b.s. sound evolved over their 10 year run, from energetic poppy-hardcore to a more 90's emo sound. They finally disbanded in 2001 and members went on to form other bands, such as Operation Makeout, and The Red Light Sting. Lead singer Jesse Gander has become a well respected record producer in Vancouver and has had a hand in recording countless Vancouver bands.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Poco a poco me voy preocupando menos del resto
Me digo a mi mismo la vida es una
Mientras le pregunto porque me pasa esto a la luna
No tengo tiempo pa la depresión
Me siento en división
Siento que estoy cayendo en la adiccion
Consumir me calma un rato pero no es la solución
Dejé de grabar
Dejé de escribir
No encontraba forma de mi mente motivar
Yo quería seguir
Quería continuar
Pero a la vez solo quería dejar de existir
No volveré a caer no
Me levantaré una y otra vez
No volveré a caer no
Descabroné el infierno y dios me volvió a traer
No volveré a caer no
Me levantaré una y otra vez
No volveré a caer no no
Descabroné el infierno y dios me volvió a traer

The lyrics of d.b.s.'s song Apology seem to be written from the perspective of someone who is disillusioned with the punk or alternative music scene they are a part of. The first line suggests that the singer has come to an understanding of what is wrong, and is apologizing for something that is no one's fault - perhaps for not living up to the expectations of the scene. The singer then describes being constrained within the limits of this culture, despite wanting to break free of it out of fear and doubt.
The next few lines describe how the singer is surrounded by the expectations and rules of the culture they are a part of - a "list of things I'm not." They feel pressure to conform to the rebellion models set out before them, rather than being allowed to create something new. The use of the word "accepted" is interesting, as it suggests that the singer feels rejected from the very community they are trying to belong to.
The final lines of the song express frustration and a desire for progress. The singer challenges the idea that punk is about following all the rules, and instead advocates for creating something new, like those who paved the way before them. They want to see things move forward, but it seems that the culture they are a part of is resistant to change. Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the need for artistic freedom and innovation within the constraints of a particular subculture.
