Clones

About Clones

"Clones" is the first single released from the Meltdown album by the band Ash on February 25, 2004 (2004-02-25). It was exclusive to the UK Downloads. The track came with a free artwork and a video when downloading. Songwriter Tim Wheeler has talked about the song on various occasions, and described it as: "It's about how homogenized mankind has become. People don't really stand out. It's a rant about some person who's let you down, a person you thought was different and they turn out to be the same as everyone else. " "It's about someone you've idealised - a politician, a band, anything you've believed in that's really let you down. You thought they were unique and special but they've just turned out to be the same." "I had to step away from myself, write about the wider world for a change. The social commentary songs, like 'Clones' are there because I'm ready now to address what I feel about politics." The song was played constantly on the accompanying Meltdown tours, and appears on the live Meltdown special edition bonus disc, but has since been rested thus far on the 2007 Higher Education Tour. The song was used on the soundtrack for the game Star Wars: Republic Commando and the song later appeared on the accompanying Commando EP. more »

Now you're a clone
With a heart of stone
Synthetic soul
Brainwashed and cold
You're just a drone
Got no control
Forced in a mold
Processed and sold

Hey! You know I find it frightening
How you change just as fast as lightning

You fell from grace
Leaving no trace
You've been replaced
Your name erased

Hey! It's your self-destruction
You never listen to my instruction

Shame, shame, shame, shame
Shame that everyone's the same
I thought you stood alone
We're different from the clones

You were a flash of light
A meteorite
Unique in time
Now out of sight
For I have seen what could have been
A vivid dream
A prophecy

Hey! Now there's no use waiting
Everything is disintegrating

Shame that everyone's the same
I thought you stood alone
We're different from the clones
I thought you were the true
Exception to the rule
But the truth it is cruel

Clones, clones, clones, clones
Clones, clones, clones, clones

Yeah!
Hey! Now there's no use waiting
Everything is disintegrating

Shame that everyone's the same
I thought you stood alone
We're different from the clones
I thought you were the true
Exception to the rule
But the truth it is cruel
