Commenting on their early support of the band, the station's Music Director Matt Lee remarked, "From the first time I saw Decyfer Down, I knew that they were something special. They had an incredible stage presence to accompany their brilliant live show. Previous to seeing them perform, there was a buzz brewing on the local music scene about them and they lived up to it. This is a band that 'gets it' and will truly become great once given the chance. The have pulsing melodies with heartfelt, deep lyrics that ANY rock fan will be quickly turned on to. WARQ has been spinning Decyfer Down's 'I'll Breathe For You' for a couple of months in our 'Eleven O Clock News' feature to a wonderful response from our listeners."

The band has also already shared the stage, in festivals and concerts such as X-fest 04' and Shoutfest 03',and 05', with a diversity of national acts including Cold, Puddle of Mudd, Breaking Benjamin, Strata, Theory of a Dead Man, Smile empty soul, Authority Zero Crossfade, Future Leaders of the World, Seven Mary Three, Adema, Skillet, Tree 63, Jars of Clay, Day of Fire, Spoken, Tait, Disciple, Seventh Day Slumber, Jeremy Camp and more.

"DECYFER DOWN is a great band with a bunch of great guys. They were one of the hits of Shoutfest in '05 and promise to be one of the big bands of tomorrow." commented booking agent Jeff Roberts.

Drummer Josh Oliver and guitarist Brandon Mills started the band at a time when each simply needed to renew his life in God. For Oliver, it was a case of being burned out on religion, while for Mills, it was a time to surrender a life of parties and drugs and return to his faith. "We were just trying to crawl our way back into a deeper understanding of God-for him to heal the wounds we had in our own personal lives," says Oliver. "The music began to change and evolve as our walk with God did."

As the word "decipher" means "to interpret," the moniker Decyfer Down fit perfectly, as the band aimed to interpret truth based on God's Word while stripping it down from religious traditions and terms. Josh comments, "We're simply out to give a positive message of hope that has truth streaming all the way down the middle of it."

Its focus made clearer, Decyfer Down resolved to be black and white about truth and captured the confusing parts of time past in an album of songs appropriately titled End of Grey. Produced by Jim Cooper and Tony Palacios, the project is an explosive album that features melodic hard rock, anthem-sized songs featuring ringing guitars that melt and morph into vicious riffs, with songs filled with searching and waiting, honesty and hope.

"The album represents the places we've been and struggles we've gone through, and interprets that," says Caleb, the band's primary lyricist. "All the songs go back to a theme of being real and honest, and not being ashamed of talking about the truth."

Forever With You
Decyfer Down Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like shooting stars
How brief we are
I wish this moment could last forever
Here with you
I am made new
I want to live like every breath matters
You're not so far away
Just hear me when I say

I wanna love what you love
I want to see what you see
I want a heart that burns like a fire in me
I want your light in my life
I want my heart renewed
Here I am
Forever with you

The falling rain
Can bring a change
I never knew how far that I could fall
I can hardly wait
'Til I see you face to face
I can't believe your love remains the same
You're not so far away
Just hear me when I say

I wanna love what you love
I want to see what you see
I want a heart that burns like a fire in me
I want your light in my life
I want my heart renewed
Here I am
Forever with you

Now that I am here with you
After all that I've been through
I just can't live without
The grace you gave to me
Now I see what you see
Your beautiful life forever in me

I wanna love what you love
I want to see what you see
I want a heart that burns like a fire in me
I want your light in my life
I want my heart renewed
Here I am
Here I am

Here I am
Forever with you

Overall Meaning

The central theme of Decyfer Down's song "Forever With You" is about being in the moment and living each day to the fullest. The opening lines, "Like shooting stars, how brief we are, I wish this moment could last forever here with you," captures the sentiment that life is fleeting, and we need to cherish every moment we have. The chorus emphasizes this point and speaks of a desire to align oneself with a higher power and to stay forever with that presence. The singer desires to love what the higher power loves, see what the higher power sees, and have a heart that burns with the fire of the divine.

The bridge of the song employs water metaphors to symbolize change, transformation, and renewal. Falling rain brings change and transformation, just as the love of the divine can change and transform us. The singer asserts that being with the higher power will renew his heart and that he cannot live without the grace he has been given.

The song's lyrics ultimately convey the idea that life is fleeting, and we must make the most of every moment and embrace the love, grace, and transformation that a higher power can offer.
