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."

Decyfer Down Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break from you?
If I move beyond eternity,
You would be
I thought every time, into another place,
Where I always find, your single saving grace,
Whether I have climbed, or fell into the blue,
Never lost from you
I could ask the darkness to envelope me,
Cover me,
But even the night, is like a light to you,
Shining through
I thought every time, into another place,
Where I always find, your single saving grace,
Whether I have climbed, or fell into the blue,
I'm never lost from you,
Never lost from you
I thought every time, into another place,
Where I always find, your single saving grace,
Whether I have climbed, or fell into the blue,
I'm never lost from you,
Never lost from you
Never lost from you
The lyrics of Decyfer Down's song "Never Lost" appear to be a conversation between the singer and a higher power, possibly God. The singer is asking where they could go to escape or break from this power, but ultimately realizes that no matter how far they try to run, they will never be lost from it. The lines "If I move beyond eternity, You would be" suggest that this higher power is beyond time and space and cannot be escaped.
The singer then mentions bringing themselves into darkness, hoping to be covered or hidden from this power, but again realizes that even darkness is like a light to it, shining through. The repeated chorus reinforces the idea that no matter where they go or what they do, they are never lost from this higher power.
The lyrics could be interpreted as a search for meaning and purpose in life, with the singer initially thinking that they can escape from it or find it elsewhere, but ultimately realizing that it is always there, guiding and sustaining them. It's a powerful reminder that no matter how lost or alone we may feel, there is always something greater than ourselves that we can turn to.
