Story Behind The Song

Dive was written by Brian Slack at the end of 2001. Enough said.

Song Description

Dive is a song set apart by its pure power. This song is most often described by 8th's fans as sounding "like war". It has a heavy melodic drive to it that is unmatched by any modern rock act around today, yet maintains that distinction without being to progressive to be catchy and a bit fun.

Lyrics

i know you hate the sound the door makes when they're gone
but still their angry eyes are blind to what they've done
i know your hatred grows each time they speak for us
and you can tell that I'm the same as you but we're held back
and it's the same damn things that made our fathers react

"you can't talk about that"
and it's the last condescension i can take from you
"shut your mouth"
as i broke my self to convince you i will not be held
hold on...

ashes are all you'll have left
when you've burned what offends
get off your soap box- there's no one around you
cling to what summons your breath
the life that you live is dependant on those who surround you
