The band's first release was the independently produced "D.A.N. Zine" (2014), which was followed by "EP" (2015) – their debut EP – and a performance at Rookie A Go Go at Fuji Rock Festival 2015. Following much anticipation, the band released their self-titled debut album in April 2016.

D.A.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a plane tonight and I'm really scared
Alone in bed staring at my ceiling fan
While I think of you, wishing it was a dream instead
Take a deep dive to my heart, yeah
Walk a couple miles in the dark, yeah
Paint my pain, I'm Picasso with the art, yeah
Said you wanna talk, I don't really wanna talk, yeah
With images of you in my head like you're tatted on my eyelids
Can't deny it
That I'm in love with you but I'm doing my best to hide it
Cause I'm not the same man that I am when alone
No service in my head, I can't answer the phone
There's just some things that I can't let you know
Never give you a chance to get to close
But hold me close, never let me go
And if you go just kill me slow
Morning arrives and you have to get
On a plane tonight and I'm really scared
(I'm really scared)
Alone in bed staring at my ceiling fan
While I think of you, wishing it was a dream instead
(A dream instead)
Take a deep dive to my heart
Tell me what you see so far
And you don't gotta go that far
If you really wanna see these scars
Broken in pieces I didn't want you to see this, no
Broken and bleeding and I don't think you can treat this (nooooo)
Tell me that you love me but in my mind you don't love me at all
Tell me that you want me but in my mind you don't want me at all
Take a deep dive to my heart and you finally arrived at the door
Open it up to find out my heart's not beating anymore
The lyrics of D.A.N.'s song "Dive In" explores themes of fear, vulnerability, and the complexities of love. The first verse sets the scene of a morning where the singer is grappling with the anticipation of their loved one leaving on a plane. They express their fear and longing, feeling alone and staring at their ceiling fan. The line "While I think of you, wishing it was a dream instead" conveys the desire to escape the pain of separation.
The chorus suggests that the singer wants their loved one to delve deeper into their heart and understand their internal struggles. They hope that their loved one can empathize with their pain and experiences by "taking a deep dive" into their emotions. The mention of walking in the dark and painting their pain like Picasso implies the depths of their emotional turmoil. However, despite their desires, the singer admits to not wanting to have a conversation about it, indicating a struggle with vulnerability.
The second verse further reveals the internal conflict and fear of getting close to their loved one. The singer acknowledges being in love but tries to hide it. They feel that their true self only emerges when they are alone. The line "No service in my head, I can't answer the phone" implies that there are certain thoughts and emotions they cannot express or share with others. They fear letting their loved one get too close, yet crave for them to hold on tightly and never let go. The final line of the verse suggests that the singer believes their heart has stopped beating, symbolizing their emotional numbness or the fear of having their heart broken.
In summary, "Dive In" explores the fear of separation, the struggle with vulnerability, and the complexities of love. The singer longs for their loved one to understand their pain and emotions while wrestling with the fear of getting too close and being hurt.
Line by Line Meaning
Morning arrives and you have to get
The start of a new day and you have obligations to fulfill
On a plane tonight and I'm really scared
I have to fly tonight and I'm filled with fear
Alone in bed staring at my ceiling fan
Lying in bed alone, unable to sleep, lost in my thoughts
While I think of you, wishing it was a dream instead
Thoughts of you consume me, hoping it's all just a bad dream
Take a deep dive to my heart, yeah
Explore the depths of my emotions and feelings
Walk a couple miles in the dark, yeah
Endure the hardships and challenges of life without direction
Paint my pain, I'm Picasso with the art, yeah
Express my suffering through my artistic abilities
Said you wanna talk, I don't really wanna talk, yeah
You say you want to communicate, but I'm hesitant to open up
Sit in silence
Remaining quiet and avoiding conversation
With images of you in my head like you're tatted on my eyelids
Constantly envisioning you as if you're permanently etched in my mind
Can't deny it
I can't hide the fact
That I'm in love with you but I'm doing my best to hide it
I'm deeply in love with you, but I'm actively concealing my true emotions
Cause I'm not the same man that I am when alone
My behavior and demeanor change when I'm by myself
No service in my head, I can't answer the phone
My thoughts are occupied, and I'm unable to engage in conversation
There's just some things that I can't let you know
There are aspects of myself I'm unwilling to reveal to you
Never give you a chance to get too close
I prevent you from becoming intimately involved in my life
But hold me close, never let me go
Despite my reservations, I yearn for your affection and presence
And if you go just kill me slow
The thought of losing you is unbearable
Take a deep dive to my heart
Delve into the depths of my emotions and innermost thoughts
Tell me what you see so far
Share your observations and understanding of me and my vulnerabilities
And you don't gotta go that far
You don't need to search too deeply
If you really wanna see these scars
If you genuinely desire to witness my pain and scars
Broken in pieces I didn't want you to see this, no
I'm shattered and vulnerable, reluctant to expose my brokenness
Broken and bleeding and I don't think you can treat this (nooooo)
I'm wounded and hurting, uncertain if you have the capacity to heal me
Tell me that you love me but in my mind you don't love me at all
Express affection towards me, though I question the authenticity in my mind
Tell me that you want me but in my mind you don't want me at all
Claim desire for me, yet I doubt the sincerity within my thoughts
Take a deep dive to my heart and you finally arrived at the door
Pursue a profound understanding of my deepest emotions and you'll reach my core
Open it up to find out my heart's not beating anymore
Once you delve inside, you'll discover my heart is lifeless and devoid of emotion
