In 2003 they were signed by the small Norwegian label "Angel productions". The work of their debut "Storm" were in progress and was finished later the same year. Their debut album quickly sold out and Code 64 started to build a steady ground and a fan base.

They continued to make more music and in 2005 they switched label to the Swedish
"Memento Materia" who had released many great artists through out the years.

And the work on "Departure" began. This time the sound had evolved even more and matured since "Storm" and when it was released it got great reviews and the fan base grew even bigger.

Then Code 64 started to work on their third album and it seemed harder than they first believed.
Through all the years the taste and influences has changed for each member and it was hard to
get along musically and when Henrik Piehl left the band to focus on his other projects Code 64
went into carbonation. Slowly drifting until late summer 2008 when through a lucky shot
Bjørn Marius Borg joined Code 64 as the new vocalist and the work for the new album "Trialogue" began. Then in 2010 they signed over to Progress Production and a few months later they released their first single "Stasis" from "Trialogue".

And in September 2010 they released the new album and both it and the singles received great reviews and in early February 2011 they received the award for best Synth of the year at the Manifest Awards in Stockholm. Bjorn and Hasse also run a psytrance side project Protostar .

In the summer of 2013 it was announced on the bands Facebook page that they would be splitting up with two members continuing on under a new project name.

Resistance
Code 64 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your greatness keeps me sane
Your presence takes away my pain

I wish that you were here
To take away my fear

Please tell me what to do
I am calling, calling you

Another star falls from the sky
Another tear leaves your eye
Hand in hand we watch the sky
In this ocean of tears you cry

Why be fed with violence, why obey?
Shouldn't we resist (resistance)?
We should resist

Being fed with violence
I cannot take this anymore
I'm searching for shelter
I'm calling someone, calling you
(calling you)
I am calling you
(calling you)

So why be fed with violence, why obey?
Shouldn't we resist (resistance)?
You should resist

Another star falls from the sky
Another tear leaves your eye
Hand in hand we watch the sky
In this ocean of tears you cry

So why be fed with violence, why obey?

Shouldn't we resist (resistance)?
You should resist!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Code 64's "Resistance" are about seeking refuge and strength from another person in a world filled with violence and fear. The song begins with the individual acknowledging that the presence of the one they love keeps them grounded and sane, taking away their pain. Despite this, they confess to feeling fearful and lost without them, and call out for their guidance.

The song then turns to a broader message about the violence in the world, and the need for resistance against it. The repeated line "why be fed with violence, why obey", is a direct challenge to the idea that violence and oppression should be accepted as a norm. It's a call to arms, urging listeners to band together and resist the forces that seek to harm us.

The final lines of the song bring us back to the individual's relationship, with the reminder that they are not alone in their struggle. The two watch the stars fall and tears flow, but they do so together, hand in hand.

Overall, "Resistance" is a powerful message about the importance of standing up against violence, and the role love and meaningful relationships play in giving us the strength to fight for what's right.
