Started in 1990, Dive is the solo project of Belgian EBM pioneer and former Klinik and Absolute Body Control frontman Dirk Ivens. Continuing the minimal, menacing electronics of early Klinik releases, but with a heavier, more saturated edge, Dive's distinct sound has been a highly influential presence in the EBM and electro-industrial scene. Sister project Sonar is an equally respected rhythmic noise project in the vein of Esplendor Geométrico, while the pre-Klinik electropunk project Absolute Body Control was recently reformed with long-time friend and brother-in-law Eric Van Wonterghem of Insekt and Monolith.

DIVE are no strangers to the music scene of South New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA (USA). They are a straightforward band of aggressive and melodic rock that compares to the sounds of Three Days Grace, Hoobastank and Fuel. DIVE formed back in 2004, taking time to create and focus their sound while playing local club and bar gigs around their hometowns. In 2007, “The Truth About Us” was self-released and eventually gained widespread attention for this dynamic band.

Dive’s most recent success occurred in late 2009. This included signing with Phase One Communications/Mad Rock Music and recording their latest album, “Picture Perfect”, with famed producer, Jim Wirt (Incubus, No Doubt, Live, Jack’s Mannequin). The band spent the holidays at the legendary 4th Street Recording Studios in Santa Monica, CA, where the hum of the Beach Boys’ melodies still linger in the place that gave birth to their sound decades earlier. The album is being released through Sony RED on 5/11/2010.

A band driven by purpose and filled with passion, “Picture Perfect,” hits you fast and hard with a fury of tight rhythms and distorted guitars from beginning to end. Having a great record filled with addicting hooks and head banging beats is just not enough for these young rockers. “It’s all about having the live show to back it up” Jonny Sitar (lead vocals) says.

DIVE consistently delivers a tight and energetic live show, going all out and leaving the audience screaming for more. Sitar, commands the stage as well as the crowd with his uncanny vocal performance while connecting with the audience through stories of love and loss. Evan Canova and Jeff Moczydlowski dual between rhythm and lead while delivering both color and drive simultaneously backed by a rhythm section with more than enough backbone between bass player, Teddy Agelis, and drummer Zhach Kelsch.

Dive has already built a devoted fan base thanks to the support of 93.3 WMMR (Philadelphia), the first radio station to feature Dive in full-rotation, and will be soon be launching their new single, “Last Call Romance” in the Tri-state area with the help of Land Shark Promotion Studio. 2010 presents a promising outlook of success and longevity for DIVE as they continue their pursuits of notoriety and merit.

DIVE IS:
Jonny Dive - Lead Vocals
Jeff Moczydlowski - Guitar
Evan Canova - Guitar
Teddy Agelis - Bass
Zhach Kelsch - Drums

Past members included:
Mike Morgan Bass (The Drama Club, Panacea)
Brian Weaver Bass (Silvertide, Automatic Fire, Terrible Things)

Never Knew
Dive Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this it? Is it over?
I will wait for you to make up your mind
Is it now? Is it ever?
I will not give up alive

My hands are shaking
From the time that we knew
My heart is breaking

All your dreams come true
Never Knew

When you smile do you feel empty?
Well I know just how you feel
I would die to be with you
I will not give up the fight

My hands are shaking

From the time that we knew
My heart is breaking
All your dreams come true
Never Knew

My hands are shaking
From the time that we knew (never knew)
My heart is breaking
All your dreams come true (never knew)
My hands are shaking
From the time that we knew
My heart is breaking

All your dreams now come true
Never Knew

Overall Meaning

The song "Never Knew" by Dive is a powerful ballad that speaks about heartache and the pain of unrequited love. The lyrics seem to be sung by someone who is waiting for their lover to make a decision about their relationship. The first two lines, "Is this it? Is it over? I will wait for you to make up your mind" indicates that the singer is in a state of confusion as they are unsure about where they stand in the relationship. The next two lines, "Is it now? Is it ever? I will not give up alive" suggest that they are ready to stick it out with their partner, whether they choose to stay or leave.

The next verse indicates that the singer is well aware that their lover may be struggling with emotional issues as well. They ask, "When you smile, do you feel empty? Well, I know just how you feel" which implies that their lover may be putting up a facade to hide their true emotions. The singer then goes on to express their love and devotion, "I would die to be with you. I will not give up the fight," indicating that they are willing to do anything to make it work.

The chorus, "My hands are shaking from the time that we knew. My heart is breaking. All your dreams come true. Never Knew," reinforces the idea that the singer is in pain and is struggling to come to terms with the situation. The repetition of "never knew" at the end of the chorus could possibly be interpreted in two different ways. On one hand, it could mean that the singer never knew that their lover would hurt them in this way, and on the other hand, it could mean that they never knew that their love for their partner would run so deep that it would hurt this much.
