Their earliest musical experiments included reenacting guitar solos from performance videos they watched online and sharing their own cover songs on YouTube, which would be the impetus to creating their own art.
With both new and recurring themes in their music, they strive to be as diverse as they can — while also retaining their signature ambient sound.

Dream Ivory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've seen you grow
I let you know it's not pretend
I gave my trust, I shed my blood
I held on tight just to end up stung
You were my friend
Scorpion
Oh no, you know
Tonight, tonight
I'll take your poison wine
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Scorpion, scorpion
This time, you win
Scorpion
The lyrics to Dream Ivory's song Scorpion appear to be about someone who trusted and believed in a friend, only to be betrayed in the end. The repeated reference to a scorpion implies that this friend was dangerous, like a scorpion's venom, and that the singer should have known better than to get close to them. The lyrics state, "I've seen you grow, I let you know it's not pretend," suggesting that the singer had known this friend for some time and had been truthful with them. However, despite their trust and loyalty, the friend ultimately stung them and left them hurt and defeated.
The chorus, with the repeated line "Oh no, you know that I won't be just fine," highlights the pain and distress caused by the betrayal. The singer is no longer willing to pretend that everything is okay and is instead confronting their emotions head-on. The line "Tonight, tonight, I'll take your poison wine" suggests that the singer is willing to face the consequences of their actions and put an end to the toxic friendship. The final line, "This time, you win, scorpion," seems to acknowledge the friend's victory over the singer, but also implies that the singer is ready to move on and leave the past behind.
