Sicmonic was formed in March 2005 when the guitarists Ray Goodwin, Robert Warren and Jason Williams of The Awakening, merged with vocalist Taylor Hession of Bedlam 23 and drummer Douglas Berry. Sicmonic quickly became an icon in the southwest music scene and in 2006, they released their debut album titled, Look to the Skies. Sicmonic peaked at #6 on the Sign Me to Roadrunner Records "All Time Metal" chart.
The band’s debut album, Look to the Skies was released in August 2006. The album’s first single, “Fist to Throat” featured a Fallen Films released music video and was shot behind their rehearsal studio in Phoenix, Arizona. The video was directed and edited by Freddy Allen. The album features a cover of the Charlie Daniels Band, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”. Soon, Look to the Skies caught the interest of Italian label Aural Music, and brought forth the sophomore album, Somnambulist. Before the writing of Somnambulist, Douglas Berry left the band.
On July 30, 2008, Sicmonic independently released a sampler containing four tracks to be released on the second studio LP, Somnambulist. On September 9, 2008, Sicmonic released an independently recorded version of Somnambulist and features long time friend and original The Awakening drummer, Zack Sewell. Only 1000 independent copies were pressed and released before engaging in an exclusive contest with Aural Music. A signed version was released on December 25, 2009. It contained alternative artwork and four bonus tracks that were previously released on Look to the Skies. Somnambulist berthed 2 singles, “Oxygen” and “Somnambulist”. After recording the album, guitarist Robert “Bob” Warren parted ways with the band and Josh Ward stepped in to fill rhythm guitar duties.
Darcauditure is the 3rd full length album to be released by Sicmonic; it is due to be released in late 2011. After one year, during the writing process of Darcauditure rhythm guitarist Josh Ward left Sicmonic. Auditions were opened to the public for the blank rhythm guitarist position. After quite a few auditions, eighteen year old Ryan Gero was selected as the rhythm guitarist. Sicmonic again signed onto Aural Music.

Just How Far Down Do You Want to Go?
(sic)monic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of never ending memories out of context
Fading visuals of lethal injections
And the most - beautiful angels
Who dwell at the doors of infinity
And cry rivers of blood that envelop me
I suffocate for the ones who cannot breathe
I'll tear apart my own vision and tranquility
To blindly twitch under moonlit divinity
If the sky opens up and you levitate
Open your arms, rise, don't be afraid...
In the darkest night - what a beautiful sight - as the impossible does blind you softly
Falling out of the sky - knife deep in your eyes - the impossible does blind you soft
Syncopation reacts - and the spine retracts - and the impossible does blind you softly
With two holes in my head and one in my heart, everyone can see inside me...
How far down do you wanna go?
How far down?
Close your eyes and inhale the voice of forever exposed, in fright,
Colliding, fused, interlocking, exposed -- in fright
I travel on at mind-bending velocities
Way past the assumed unapproachable infinity
Become a nonexistent molecular atrocity
Gather remains, suffocate, resurrect, I just don't believe -
I crawl
I scratch
I beg
and I still pray...
In the darkest night - what a beautiful sight - as the impossible does blind you softly
Falling out of the sky - knife deep in your eyes - the impossible does blind you soft
Syncopation reacts - and the spine retracts - and the impossible does blind you softly
With two holes in my head and one in my heart...
In the darkest night - what a beautiful sight - as the impossible does blind you softly
Falling out of the sky - knife deep in your eyes - the impossible does blind you soft
Syncopation reacts - and the spine retracts - and the impossible does blind you softly
With two holes in my head and one in my heart, everyone can see inside me...
Just how far - down?
How far down do you wanna go?..
Misery enveloping and suffocating never-ending corneas, accumulating, staring back at me
And I fall for it so deep
Never has there ever been another being that without words can carve circles inside me
Spoken in tongues so deviant
That I fall for the reasons - and treasons - that mutate like seasons - compelled to - somehow emulate -
The feelings that do trickle down my spine in sickening rituals
The visuals that repeat in my minds eye echoing below
The voices and the choices that bring my will back down to its knees
Colliding with the evidence that I suffer when I cannot see
Blinded by psychotic neurotic deafening psychosis
That will not stop until I commit something so sick
Oh would you mind if I carve you gently
Oh could I gouge out your eyes softly
Oh would you mind if I fucked you softly
Oh could I somehow scream you to sleep
Oh would you mind if I carve you gently
Oh could I gouge out your eyes softly
Oh would you mind if I fucked you softly
Emulate, evaporate, the consequence of false events, and calculate the stimulant hypothesis
Scratching out my own eyes - choke and twitch, sow the stitch - from the memories of all of this -
These are all the holes - that I bleed to feed with hate and greed - for I can still not, for the life of me,
Satisfy the hunger
It burns
(It burns!..)
So where's the
Love that I need forever
When those walls do collapse?
In the darkest night - what a beautiful sight - as the impossible does blind you softly
Falling out of the sky - knife deep in your eyes - the impossible does blind you soft
Syncopation reacts - and the spine retracts - and the impossible does blind you softly
With two holes in my head and one in my heart, everyone can see inside me...
Just how far - down?
How far down do you wanna go?..
The lyrics of (sic)monic's song, "Just How Far Down Do You Want to Go?" appears to delve into a deep, dark place of mental torture and inner struggles. The song begins with the idea of wanting to rewrite the memories of one's past to relieve the sorrow and pain they hold, and explores the theme of suffocation and blind faith. The lines "I suffocate for the ones who cannot breathe / I'll scream and shatter my soul just to believe" express the struggles of trying to maintain one's faith in a world full of darkness and uncertainty.
The song also touches on the idea of self-harm and the cycle of pain that comes with it. The lines "Scratching out my own eyes - choke and twitch, sow the stitch - from the memories of all of this" describe the pain one goes through within themselves and the chaos that it can cause in their own minds. The song concludes with the question, "Just how far down do you want to go?" which can be interpreted as a plea for the listener to choose to rise above their struggles and to not give in to the darkness.
Line by Line Meaning
And if I could I would rewrite the concepts
I wish I could change the way things are
Of never ending memories out of context
I want to forget endless painful memories
Fading visuals of lethal injections
I'm haunted by terrible images of death
And the most - beautiful angels
Even the most beautiful things can be painful
Who dwell at the doors of infinity
I'm facing something infinite and overwhelming
And cry rivers of blood that envelop me
I feel like I'm drowning in my own pain
I suffocate for the ones who cannot breathe
I feel suffocated by the suffering of others
I'll scream and shatter my soul just to believe
I'll do anything to hold onto hope
I'll tear apart my own vision and tranquility
I'm willing to sacrifice my own peace for something greater
To blindly twitch under moonlit divinity
I'm searching for meaning in the darkness
If the sky opens up and you levitate
Sometimes impossible things happen
Open your arms, rise, don't be afraid...
We should embrace the unknown
Close your eyes and inhale the voice of forever exposed, in fright,
We can't escape the truth
Colliding, fused, interlocking, exposed -- in fright
Everything is connected and it's scary
I travel on at mind-bending velocities
I'm on a journey that's overwhelming
Way past the assumed unapproachable infinity
I'm exploring something beyond comprehension
Become a nonexistent molecular atrocity
I sometimes feel insignificant and worthless
Gather remains, suffocate, resurrect, I just don't believe -
I'm struggling to find hope and faith
Misery enveloping and suffocating never-ending corneas, accumulating, staring back at me
My pain is overwhelming and inescapable
And I fall for it so deep
It's hard to resist the pain
Never has there ever been another being that without words can carve circles inside me
The power of pain is incredible
Spoken in tongues so deviant
The way pain affects me is twisted
That I fall for the reasons - and treasons - that mutate like seasons - compelled to - somehow emulate -
I can't help but be consumed by my own pain
The feelings that do trickle down my spine in sickening rituals
I'm haunted by the rituals of pain
The visuals that repeat in my minds eye echoing below
I can't escape the painful images in my mind
The voices and the choices that bring my will back down to its knees
My pain makes me feel powerless
Colliding with the evidence that I suffer when I cannot see
I'm consumed by my pain even when I'm not experiencing it
Blinded by psychotic neurotic deafening psychosis
My pain is overwhelming and all-consuming
That will not stop until I commit something so sick
My pain is driving me to do something extreme
Oh would you mind if I carve you gently
I'm so consumed by pain that I want to inflict it on others
Oh could I gouge out your eyes softly
I'm consumed by twisted thoughts of pain and violence
Oh would you mind if I fucked you softly
I'm consumed by twisted thoughts of sex and violence
Emulate, evaporate, the consequence of false events, and calculate the stimulant hypothesis
I'm struggling to accept reality and deal with the consequences of my actions
Scratching out my own eyes - choke and twitch, sow the stitch - from the memories of all of this -
I'm consumed by pain and self-destructive thoughts
These are all the holes - that I bleed to feed with hate and greed - for I can still not, for the life of me,
My pain has left me empty and angry
Satisfy the hunger
I can't find anything to fill the void left by my pain
So where's the
I'm searching for something
Love that I need forever
I need love to heal
When those walls do collapse?
When everything falls apart
How far down do you wanna go?..
How deep are you willing to delve into your own pain?

So gone over you, you you you
Yeah, lil Monica
Silly of me, devoted so much time
To find you unfaithful boy
I nearly lost my mind
Drive past your house every night
In an unmarked car
Wonderin' what she had on me to make you break my heart
You make me feel
You make me feel I'm so gone
So unreal
You make me feel
You make me feel
Whoa and I love to love you baby
So unreal
Nights I couldn't sleep
You let the sun beat you home
I ask myself over again
What am I doing wrong
To make you stay out all night and not think to call
What does she have over me
To make you not think to call home?
You make me feel
You make me feel I'm so gone
So unreal
You make me feel
You make me feel
Whoa and I love to love you baby
So unreal
Listen boy I'ma rowdy chick
Sometimes I have to fight cause my mouth too slick
Baby why you doin' me like I ain't worth shit
Make me wanna ride past your house and sit
Kick down your doors and smack your chick
Just to show you Monica not havin' that
So in love with you like a drug habit get
So real
You treat me so unreal
What she do I do I do better
What she do to make you love her?
(What did she do)
Is it real or forever?
Oh (is it real)?
Baby please can we stay together?
What she do I do I do better
What she do to make you love her?
(What did she do)
Is it real or forever?
Oh (is it real)?
Baby please can we stay together?
Whoa and I love to love you baby
Whoa and I love to love you baby
Whoa and I love to love you baby
Whoa and I love to love you baby
Whoa and I love to love you baby
Whoa and I love to love you baby
Whoa and I love to love you baby
Just to show you Monica, not havin' it
You make me feel
You make me feel I'm so gone
So unreal
You make me feel
You make me feel
Whoa and I love to love you baby
So unreal
Said that I need you
I don't really need you
Said that I need you (oh)
Said that I need you
I don't really need you
Said that I need you
You treat me so unreal
