Their first release, A Sense of Coalition gained popularity on college radio stations for an intense cover of Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer" (not to be confused with the Ataris' cover of the same song that became a mainstream radio hit years later). With subsequent releases Division of Labor and The Rescue, the band continually became less aggressive and more melodic, eventually abandoning their hardcore roots in favor of progressive, experimental space rock, much as Cave In had done. Their final album, Dancing Echoes/Dead Sounds was released in 2004 on Equal Vision. In 2005, the band broke up in order to pursue different opportunities. 2010-2011 saw their reformation for a few reunion shows, but the band has no plans to get back together permanently. Members have gone on to join bands such as Echo Crush and Motorist.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Codeseven's song It Could Happen appear to be about a relationship that has gone sour, where one person feels trapped and the other is blind to their feelings. The singer feels like they have been backed into a corner and that the other person has taken their dreams away from them without ever agreeing with them. The singer expresses their confusion and frustration at being shut out and how they feel like they are standing still while waiting for something to happen instead of being able to move on. They also express their skepticism that the other person will ever understand their point of view or be able to read their mind.

The chorus seems to be a plea for the other person to see things from their perspective and turn their head to their side. The singer acknowledges that something the other person said was true, possibly hinting at some self-awareness of their own faults in the relationship. However, they ultimately decide that the other person always brings them down and they need to turn away and move on. The final line of the song - "one day it could happen" - leaves the listener wondering what the singer means by that.

Overall, the lyrics of It Could Happen convey a sense of emotional turmoil and a struggle to break free from a toxic relationship. The imagery of being trapped in a corner and standing still while waiting for something to happen adds to the feeling of helplessness and stagnation. The singer's decision to turn their back on the other person and move on is a powerful statement of self-preservation and empowerment.
