WHAT THE SONGS MEAN___________________________________________
The band's songs are open to interpretation. They mean different things to different people. The song "This World" was inspired by the homeless and the forgotten, and the human need for caring. The band aspires to provide sensitive, intelligent rock, with lyrics that are fresh, bright and astute. They also feel there is still a need for songs about relationships and love lost, such as "You're Away," "Broken Eyes" and "Waiting." But the band's blend of guitar-based anthemic rock on "Seconds of Time," with a message that would fit any number of life philosophies or religions, hammers home their dedication to values and to the plight of human destiny. One of the band's beliefs is that where there is alienation in our consumerist society, there is also hope and reason to carry on.
