Fall 2004 brought the release of the band's debut full-length "The Caitiff Choir." The titled and lyrical influences gleaned from the work of Dante's Divine Comedy, the album is a tour of the degradation and moral disintegration within the human mind. The album struck a chord throughout the media and consumer alike, having sold over 75,000 copies and allowing the band to sell out two national headlining tours with support from Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium and others. IDT then played the seminal OZZFEST in 2005.
Their 2006 release “Sirens” saw them back on the road with Atreyu, Bleeding Through, Walls Of Jericho, All That Remains, Throwdown, Machine Head and The Haunted.
On September 15th 2009 It Dies Today released their 3rd album for Trustkill entitled “Lividity”.

It Dies Today Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll always be the only one who feels like home.
And with your hollow words and your plastic smile,
You have the most beautiful name I've ever cursed.
Yet I wait for you to find your way into my arms.
And I'd wait here till you find your way.
I would wait here all my life,
For an end to this mystery.
Through this dichotomy has brought me to my knees.
You'll always be the only one who feels like home.
And still the season's change and with it does your charm.
Summer's end has come and with it misery.
Yet I wait for you to find your way into my arms.
And I'd wait here till you find your way.
I would wait here all my life,
I'd spend the rest of my days praying
For an end to this mystery.
You must find a way back into my arms again,
I'd give anything just to feel that warmth again.
And I'd wait here till you find your way.
I would wait here all my life,
I'd spend the rest of my days praying
For an end to this mystery.
The lyrics of It Dies Today's song Marigold are filled with a sense of longing and desperation for the return of someone who once brought comfort and joy to the singer's life. The opening line, "Aesthetic perfection has fooled me once again," suggests that the singer has been taken in by someone's superficial appearance or behavior before, and is wary of being hurt again. Despite this, the person in question still holds a special place in the singer's heart, and is the only one who feels like home. This is emphasized in the repetition of the line, "You'll always be the only one who feels like home."
The second verse continues with this theme, but adds a sense of urgency as the seasons change and the person's charm begins to fade. The coming of fall is coupled with the misery of their absence, yet the singer still holds onto hope and patiently waits for them to return. The chorus repeats the sentiment of waiting and praying for an end to the mystery of their departure, hinting at a sense of confusion or uncertainty around why they left in the first place.
Overall, the lyrics of Marigold paint a picture of love and loss, and the hopeless yearning for a return to a once-cherished relationship.
