The band is no longer together as they all decided after praying on it, they let the band die. In late 2005, Yellow Second's disbandment was announced via the official Myspace account, as well as the official website; the latter of which, after having been offline for some time, now redirects to the former.

During their six year stint, the band released three albums, June One, Still Small, and Altitude. Additionally, several completed, though commercially-unreleased tracks (referred to as "B-sides"), were made available for download on the band's official Website. These tracks were entitled Waiting For No One, Velocity, Everything is Changing, and Return Receipt Requested.

Resolute
Yellow Second Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reaping the seeds I planted
Things that I always took for granted
I feel a little bit unstable
Tell me if I'm willing are you able
To come and help me out right now?
If you do, I'm resolute
I wonÃ¿t back down
Broken and I'm still breaking

Change is my latest undertaking
IÃ¿m only hoping that tomorrow
Has a greater hope for me to borrow
IÃ¿m separated from the rest
I will try, but I can only do my best
Today I saw myself with honest eyes
And my face I barely recognized.
If the wounded never heal
What will I do?
How will I feel?
Can I assume,
At least pretend,
That things will work out in the end?
Sunken and I'm still sinking
And you're the only thing I'm thinking of

Ties that I could hardly sever
When I'm needing you now more than ever
