Passion and intensity have become the buzzwords of an industry in which myopic self pity has become its own brand of conformity. Enter Ivoryline, a band’s whose spiritual integrity bypasses musical wallowing and goes straight for the mainline of your emotional jugular with intensely personal lyrics and dense blasts of guitars. There is no “wink” from Ivoryline informing the listener they are steeped in the apathetic irony governing the charts; at long last a band has arrived that has the guts and the talent to enter a brave new world of sincerity. Ivoryline just gives you life, yours and theirs as a package. Singing their songs feels less like a drug and more like a journey into your own heart of darkness where you may ride their lyrical insights to new levels of self actualization.
How is it that these five boys from Tyler are able to bring the sophistication without being weighed down by the trappings of pseudo-intellectualism into a pompous self congratulatory excess? The answer is lucid and elegant, like the rock they make. They did it the old fashioned way, making music for the sake of music....not to get girls, not to be stars, but for a love of music. The Ivoryline Highway was constructed from an authentic love of music and listening to their songs makes you wonder where the notes begin and the cells of their bodies end.
The band members’ shared tastes brought them together to explore new territory while their roots remained firmly planted in the roots of rock-n-roll. The music they made stuck to them like an electrical shock and soon what started out as a few shows and penning some songs turned into a full time gig. They knew they were onto something when they were hand selected for the Vans Warped Tour in 2006. The storm grew stronger when the boys caught the ear of executives at mini-major Tooth and Nail Records, who had the foresight or the luck to be the company who can say they discovered Ivoryline. Crowds grew from a few dozen to a few hundred and sometimes into the thousands and a legend was born. As the crowds grew so did the feverish fervency of the fans. The fact that Ivoryline composes songs as a unit is somehow transferred to their audience, and when they perform live one is struck by the intense duality of the many becoming one voice, an audience so bound to the music it is as if they are its author. Make no mistake, it is the Ivoryline fans that own these songs. With hands raised and eyes closed the crowd becomes charged with electricity, light traveling in particles and waves through the room and materializing through the vocal chords of hundreds of fans. This is the foundation of Ivoryline’s allure. You, the fans, are their song.
No One Else
Ivoryline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To your soul, I want to find
Just how deep we shoved them cold
I know that you hid those keys away
In somewhere you thought they'd be safe
From the man who had the right to break into your heart
You and I will not conform to this world of lies
We'll live alone
We decide to build our lives with foundations in trust
To live in love
I won't ever stop before
I'm the one, your man, your love
The one you've always waited for, at me
All of your beauty
Just like you need my strengths
I won't stop until your heart has been relieved
I pray you let me in
You and I will not conform to this world of lies
We'll live alone
We decide to build our lives with foundations in trust
To live in love, live in love
Come along with me
'Cause you don't want to miss this, honey
You're lighting quite a story here
And I need you to play the leading lady for me
No one else but you
No one else but you
You and I will not conform to this world of lies
We'll live alone
We decide to build our lives with foundations in trust
To live in love, live in love
The lyrics to Ivoryline's song "No One Else" are about a deep desire to connect with someone on a profound and intimate level. The singer expresses a desire to "open every door to your soul" and explore the depths of their being together. But the object of the singer's affection has been hurt before, and they have hidden their vulnerability away in a place they believe is safe. The singer recognizes this and wants to be the one to break through and enter their heart, building a foundation of trust and love together.
The song is a powerful statement about the importance of human connection and the need for genuine intimacy in a world that often values surface-level interactions. The singer and their love interest are determined to resist the pressure to conform and instead build a life based on honesty and authenticity. It's a beautiful sentiment, and one that speaks to the hope and courage required to truly love someone.
