1) IKON is an Australian goth/darkwave band that has gained an international following. Chris McCarter(vocals, guitar, programming) and Dino Molinaro (bass) began to create music as high school students in Melbourne, Australia in 1988. In 1991, their band Death in the Dark, which included Michael Carrodus on vocals, changed its name to IKON.
IKON has released five studio albums, five EPs and seventeen singles, with additional unique versions that have been produced for Germany, America and Russia. The bandโs last full-length release, Destroying the World to Save It, attained number 21 on the Native DJ World Charts for best album of 2005.
IKON has frequently toured Australia, Europe and the UK. IKON has played on the same bill as The Sisters of Mercy, H.I.M., Soft Cell, Death in June, London After Midnight and The Mission. IKON has performed at the Eurorock Festival (2001) in Belgium and at the Mโera Luna Festival (2002) in Hildesheim, Germany before an audience of more than 15,000 people. The band has also appeared three times at the worldโs largest goth festival, Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, Germany, in 2003, 2005 (during that year Anthony Cornish joined the live line-up on guitar) and 2011.
In 2007, the band embarked upon โThe Burden of Historyโ tour of Europe to mark the release of the singles collection (1992-2007) of the same name. The EPs League of Nations (2007) and Amongst the Runes (2008) demonstrate a progression in IKONโs signature sound, providing a taster of the forthcoming album Love, Hate and Sorrow (to be released in September 2009). While retaining the essence of influences such as Joy Division, early New Order and Death in June, the future for IKON promises to add further texture to the bandโs style. Love, Hate and Sorrow embraces more melodic song structures without entirely relinquishing the shadowy threads that are interweaved in the lyrics, art work, and music of one of the worldโs most successful and enduring darkwave bands. The single "A Line on a Dark Day" from the album will also be made into the band's first video clip.

2) A UK collaborative project of Elliot Ireland and Alex Rizzo, the people behind the Jalapeno label. They utilise a wide range of guest vocalists and instrumentalists to create an interesting fusion of dnb, jazz, downtempo and triphop. They have released a self-titled album and at least 2 singles, 'The Dove' and 'Tricolour'. The album took a long time to make and was created in 7 different countries with 8 different collaborations, in languages such as Portuguese and English.
From the Jalapeno Records Website on Ikon:
"As for the Ikon sound it's tricky to categorise: bossa nova melodies seem to seep effortlessly into epic cinematic productions, which mutate into slick drum and bass rhythms."
"Musically the group cites most genres as being influential to the Ikon sound, particularly jazz, funk, soul and hip hop."
"What the hell is Ikon about? "Happy coincidences," opines co-founding member Alex Rizzo with a smile."
"Ikon is about producing lush, imaginative music and recreating sounds in an original way. Give us a keyboard a string, synth or computer- Rolf Harris's stylophone and we'll play it- the quirkier the better. If there's a sound we wanna emulate we'll try and get the original materials: like a 60s bass and a 60s mic to get the right effect."

Ikon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That seem to lead them in
Play the role with a good girl heart
Hide the tangled webs withinWho was it that lead you on
That makes you want to hurt me so?
Who do you want to forget?
Who forgot you long ago?
Do you still feel him
Do you still feel it?
Seems like youโฒve done this beforeYou make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you've done this before
Youโฒve got breaking hearts all but down
And you've done this,
You've done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore?
Youโฒve got breaking up all but down
And I canโฒt love a thief anymoreDo you collect the souls you've lost
In the top of your dresser drawer?
Count the number of tears displaced
On lonely bedroom floors
A machine where your heart once was
Slowly takes the place of you
Only hold the memories now
Of a love I thought I knew
Do you still feel him
Calling in the air tonight?
Do you still feel it?
Seems like youโฒve done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you've done this before
Youโฒve got breaking hearts all but down
And you've done this,
Youโฒve done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore?
You've got breaking up all but down
And I can't love a thief anymore
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Youโฒve got breaking hearts all but down
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like youโฒve done this before
You've got breaking hearts all but down
And youโฒve done this,
You've done this before
The best you could hope to be
Is now just a bittersweet memory
And you make breaking hearts look so easy
The lyrics to Ikon's song "Breaking" delve into the themes of deception, heartbreak, and the pain caused by someone who has a pattern of breaking hearts.
The first verse questions whether the person being addressed has a habit of memorizing lines and playing a role to appear like a good person while hiding their true intentions. The lyrics ask who led them on to want to hurt the singer, and who they want to forget or who has forgotten them long ago. The lines also hint at a sense of familiarity, suggesting that the person has done this before, and the singer can sense it.
The chorus reflects on how effortlessly the person being addressed can break hearts, as if they have done it many times in the past. The singer laments that they can't love someone who has become adept at breaking hearts and compares them to a thief. The chorus also poses a question about the whereabouts of the person the singer once adored, implying that they have changed and become someone different.
The second verse continues to explore the emotional toll caused by the person being addressed. The lyrics suggest that the person keeps a collection of the souls they've lost, symbolized by the top of their dresser drawer. The number of tears shed and the lonely nights are counted as evidence of the despair they have created. The lyrics portray the person as a heartless machine, slowly replacing the love and warmth they once possessed.
The chorus is repeated, emphasizing how the person being addressed makes breaking hearts look easy and has mastered this destructive behavior. They are contrasted with the memory of the person the singer used to adore, who has become little more than nostalgia. The lyrics highlight the pain inflicted and express the singer's realization that the best they can hope for is to remember their love as a bittersweet memory.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Breaking" by Ikon explore the damaging impact of someone who repeatedly breaks hearts, portraying them as a master of deception and emotional manipulation. The song also reflects on the painful aftermath and the singer's struggle to maintain love for someone who has become a symbol of heartbreak.

And I can no longer love someone who deceives and steals from me
Do you collect the souls you've lost
Do you gather and keep the spirits and emotions of those you have lost in relationships
In the top of your dresser drawer?
Storing them symbolically in a secret place where you keep your personal belongings
Count the number of tears displaced
Quantify the countless tears that have been shed
On lonely bedroom floors
In the solitude of one's own bedroom, where sadness and heartache are often felt
A machine where your heart once was
A mechanical device that has replaced the emotions and compassion you once possessed
Slowly takes the place of you
Gradually replaces your true self, turning you into something cold and detached
Only hold the memories now
Now, you only cling to the memories
Of a love I thought I knew
Of a love that I believed I understood
The best you could hope to be
The highest level of aspiration you could have had
Is now just a bittersweet memory
Is now merely a memory that evokes both pleasure and pain
