MEST

[oritsu_luv]

So the other day I had my iPod on shuffle, and MEST's song 'This Time' came on. As I listened to the words, it hit me: If we wanted an explanation as to why MEST broke up. This is it. Or, at least, this is Tony's answer.



I want this
She hates this
I'm not who I used to be
Years passed by, I've still tried
To make something of me
No one believes in me
No one sees what I see
Should I just erase this all from my memory?

I can't take this
It's been too long
I'm drowning in
My own song
As I come to rest

I left home, then broke down
In a town called Misery
Surrender, I'll never be what I want to be
No one believes in me
No one sees what I see
Should I just erase this all from my memory?

I can't take this
It's been too long
I'm drowning in
My own song
As I come to rest

This world I created for myself
I forgot to bring someone else
Now I'm drowning alone
Now I'm drowning alone
I break down, I fall out
I'm burned out, and I'm lost without
With nothing to say

This world I created for myself
I forgot to bring someone else
Now I'm drowning alone
Now I'm drowning alone




And then, later on, you've got 'This Time', which is another elaboration on the same themes:



Feeling uninspired
Left alone and tired
Waking up to nothing
I need something

I can't say goodbye forever
But I'll say goodbye for now
This time, like last time
It's over
I'm leaving this behind

The walls are closing in now
I'm walking through it somehow
Waking up with nothing
Give me something
I've lost all sense of meaning
Staring at the ceiling
No longer believing everything


Listening to these songs, it makes me think we shouldn't all have been so surprised when they broke up...

MEST had been around 10 years, and they'd never achieved the fame they saw other, younger banda achieve. Tony was tired, disillusioned and burned out.
