1. Backstory:

Meek Procedure is a band that emerged from the smoky underground music scene of Seattle, Washington in the late 2000s. The group was formed by four childhood friends – Ethan Jones, Daniel Whittaker, Oliver Smith, and Charlie Thompson – who grew up sharing their deep-seated love for music through jam sessions in their parents’ basements. After years of honing their musical skills and developing a unique sound infused with raw emotion and deep introspection, they decided to form Meek Procedure in 2008. Despite their humble beginnings, their music quickly caught the attention of local music enthusiasts and began influencing the city’s mainstream music scene.

Drawing on influences from grunge classics to indie rock, Meek Procedure’s music captivated audiences with their unique, emotional depth. Their lyrics often speak to the struggles of everyday life, mental health, and personal growth, resonating with a broad range of listeners. Their local success led them to sign with an independent record label in 2012, propelling their music onto a national platform.

4. Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Shadows fall in the empty hall,
In the mirror, faces from the past recall.
Broken dreams, woven in seams,
In the cracks of time, the echo screams.

Chorus:
Grains of time, slip through fingers fine,
Lost in the winds, in the corners of the mind.
Running fast, escaping the past,
Chasing shadows, in the light we cast.

Verse 2:
Painted smiles, walked a thousand miles,
Behind the eyes, a child’s quiet cries.
Silence speaks, where the heartache seeps,
In the pages of life where secrets we keep.

(Bridge)
In the dance of dusk and dawn,
In the battle lost and won,
In the echo of a song we play,
In the fragments of love and pain,
Oh, we find ourselves again.

(Chorus)
Grains of time, slip through fingers fine,
Lost in the winds, in the corners of the mind.
Running fast, escaping the past,
Chasing shadows, in the light we cast.

(Outro)
Grains of time, they intertwine,
In the echo of a heartbeat, in the rhythm divine.
In the silence that we shatter,
In the seconds that matter,
We are but grains of time.
