(1) A punky black metal band from Florida.
"Members of Talk Sick Earth , Septic Warfare , Vomikaust , Foul Intent and No Pleasure In Life .
A FORCE AGAINST ANY PROGRESS AND MODERNIZATION , TO FEAST UPON THE SOUL IS TO CRUSH THE LIFE AND GAIN STRENGTH WITHIN .
REGRESSION , LIVE IT , ALWAYS AGAINST THE GRAIN."
(2) As young lads, aspiring to craft their lives into something a little less dreary that the ill-fated profession so common to those who would remain in an old rickety mining town such as those in Northern California; the group known to most as "IVES" set out to make themselves a name among the countless droves present in the musical bazaar of the American nation.
As these youngsters embark upon a long and tedious journey down the hard road to their first full length studio release - due to release this summer - the meagerly funded members of IVES were compelled to become their own patrons; pushing to establish their style as a band in a world that seemed to know nothing but the choruses of clankering and clattering horse-drawn carriages across cobblestone streets - or so it would seem when presented with the so common sounds and themes in today's musical era. Trudging through the mire of the avant-garde society of this common time and its ill construed values, the company of IVES cast their sashes over their shoulders in preparation to launch a journey, intent upon permeating the purposeless and straying mankind with something a little more fulfilling.
Now, members Jason Tolliver, Kyle Moore, and brothers Drew and Bryce Newman are bringing sounds and melodies to the ears of innumerable musical enthusiasts seeking a new facet of the art form made so monotonous by years of misuse and misfortune; searching to strike a new note among the populace of the western frontier and beyond.

Ives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My heart is full it's breaking soon
Hold me close ‘cause I'm the one
Burning brighter than the sun
You don't even need to try
To Lie about your other life
How we were ever more than friends
Cradle me, just like the moon
My heart is full it's breaking soon
[Chorus: x2]
Eight letters, three words
Barely, rarely heard
Eight letters, three words
Rarely every heard
Cradle me, just like the moon
My heart is full it's breaking soon
Hold me close ‘cause I'm the one
Burning brighter than the sun
Cradle me, just like the moon
My heart is full it's breaking soon
[Chorus: x4]
Cradle me, just like the moon
Cradle me, just like the moon
My heart is full it's breaking soon
Hold me close ‘cause I'm the one
Burning brighter than the sun
You don't even need to try
To Lie about your other life
Please remind me once again
How we were ever more than friends
Cradle me, just like the moon
My heart is full it's breaking soon
[Chorus: x2]
Cradle me, just like the moon
My heart is full it's breaking soon
Hold me close ‘cause I'm the one
Burning brighter than the sun
Cradle me, just like the moon
My heart is full it's breaking soon
[Chorus: x6]
Cradle me, just like the moon
The song "VIII" by Ives expresses a sense of vulnerability and heartbreak that comes from unrequited love. The opening lines "Cradle me just like the moon, My heart is full it's breaking soon" creates a metaphorical image of the moon's gradual disappearance to convey the singer's feeling of their heart that is about to be broken. The lines also suggest a request for comfort and protection, as the singer compares their fragility to the moon needing to be cradled.
The second stanza, "Hold me close ‘cause I'm the one, Burning brighter than the sun," highlights the singer's confidence in their worthiness of love, as they compare themselves to the sun, the brightest object in the sky. The following lines, "You don't even need to try, To Lie about your other life, Please remind me once again, How we were ever more than friends" refers to a sense of betrayal or denial of love, as the singer confronts the person who may have lied about their true feelings or intentions. Despite the heartbreak, the singer still longs for love, which is evident in the repetition of the chorus, "Eight letters, three words, Barely, rarely heard, Rarely every heard," signifying the three-word expression of love that is seldom spoken.
Overall, the song "VIII" is a poignant and vulnerable expression of the pain of unrequited love, accompanied by a yearning for love and a sense of worthiness for it.
