Adema is a rock band from Bakersfield, California consisting of guitarists Tim Fluckey, Marc DeLeon, bassist Dave DeRoo, and drummer Kris Kohls. After their first two albums, Adema and Unstable, Mike Ransom left the band in 2003 followed by Chavez later in 2004 due to conflicts between themselves and other members of the band. Luke Caraccioli replaced Chavez in early 2005 for one album, Planets, but then left a few months later in late 2005. In 2006, Adema announced that vocalist Bobby Reeves and guitarist Ed Farris, both from the band LEVEL, had joined the band, but only released one album, Kill the Headlights. However, on August 13, 2009 the original line up was reunited with Bobby Reeves and Ed Faris agreeing to leave the band. However Ransom showed extreme minimal participation in the reunion and left once again in late 2010, followed soon by Chavez in early January 2011.
The band’s eponymous debut album, Adema, was released in August 2001 to moderate success. Its two major singles, "Giving In" and "The Way You Like It," received significant airplay on rock radio. All the lyrics were written by Chavez, and the album was produced by Bill Appleberry (7th House) and Tobi Miller (Wallflowers guitarist). It was certified Gold, and the band received a spot on the main stage during the Ozzfest tour. They kept playing live with the Music as a Weapon, SnoCore Rock, and Projekt Revolution tours.
I'm always gonna be one life behind
That's why I'm all alone
What's it gonna take to make you see
That we are fallin' apart?
I wonder, can we throw away the past
So we can stop the screaming match
I'm not gonna break down anymore
I've found my way to the door
I can see through both of us
It's an issue over trust
It's killing me, it's killing me
To watch you leave me
(Leave me, leave me)
I've tried to talk about what's really wrong
I see that look of discontent
The volume starts to rise and then it's on
That's why I have to go
Dealin' with the pain is all that's left
Because we cannot get along
You wanna put the blame on me again
I think that we have reached the end
I can see through both of us
It's an issue over trust
It's killing me, it's killing me
To watch you leave
I can see through both of us
It's an issue over trust
You keep blaming me, blaming me
For what you do to me
It's your turn to watch me leave you
It's your turn to watch me leave you
It's your turn to watch me leave you, haa aaa
I can see through both of us
It's an issue over trust
It's killing me, it's killing me
To watch you leave
I can see through both of us
It's an issue over trust
You keep blaming me, blaming me
