The band self-released their EP Let The Games Begin in 2006, after countless shows they got signed to Rise.
With the release of their full-length Relapse React they have thrown down the gauntlet with their synth driven agro-pop with a post-hardcore twist. Formed in 2005 these twenty-somethings have worked and chipped away at their sound, their craft and their career with the same passion that their music holds.
Due to the inability to fill the places of former band members, the band called it quits in September of 2008.
Vocalist Beau Bokan joined the band Blessthefall as their new vocalist, and Ryan and Ken DJ under the name Hi-Deaf.

Dignity
Take The Crown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slowly swallowing these promises you broke down on me.
Each set of headlights we dodge could be the answer or the light.
We open our hearts carefully, always looking back on the damage done.
We shut our doors forcefully waiting to turn and run.
Love, I'm sorry I found the one I wasn't searching for,
If only I'd known she was the one who'd make me...
Give in so easily to feel the way I've always wanted.
Love, I'm sorry I found the one I wasn't searching for,
If only I'd known she was the one who'd make me...fall..
Found the way, love found the way...
What good does make-up do,
When you only appear beautiful...
What good does make-up do, when it's running down your cheeks.
Love, I'm sorry I found the one I wasn't searching for
In the song "Dignity" by Take The Crown, the rain serves as a metaphor for the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through. The promises that were made to him by his lover have been broken and he is left feeling hurt and betrayed. He is constantly searching for answers, wondering if the passing headlights hold any significance. The couple tries to open up to each other, but they are hesitant due to past heartbreaks. In the end, the singer reveals that he found someone he wasn't searching for and fell for her easily, but in the process, lost the person he was fighting for. The makeup mentioned in the lyrics symbolizes the superficial aspects of love and how they cannot hide or repair the damage caused by heartbreak.
The song depicts the complexity of human relationships and how difficult it can be to navigate through the emotions that come with it. The rain and the passing headlights represent the unpredictability of life and how sometimes we have to take risks in love, despite knowing that it might not turn out as planned. The lyrics also touch upon how sometimes we might find ourselves falling for someone unexpectedly, even if it means losing the one we thought we loved.
