Jumping into the studio in fall 2011 with Paul Leavitt at Valencia Studios (Conditions, Circa Survive, All Time Low, Versa Emerge, Senses Fail) Aerolyn sought to make a huge buzz in the music industry. Gathering guest vocals from Jonny Craig (Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa) and Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens) to Taylor Larson (Life On Repeat, Periphery, Sky Eats Airplane) on programming and the guys at Turtle Tone Studios who mastered the album(Flo-rida, The Ready Set, Hit The Lights, All Time Low), they are bringing a solid first effort. With influences from American Football, As Cities Burn, and Paramore, to Mayday Parade, Underoath, Anberlin, and Dallas Green, Aerolyn looked to blend all of these styles into their debut EP Resilience due out on ITunes January 16th. Now after reunited with original guitarist Jerry Robinson, the addition of bassist Jeremy Brookover, a hunger to make it in the music industry and the want to touch the lives of their ever growing fan base, Aerolyn sees no limits for what 2012 will bring." "“Through flashes of abrasion amongst respectably structured passages of upbeat guitars and strong drumming, Aerolyn show their strong grip on the melodic post-hardcore game. Resilience is certainly not your average debut, for these and many other reasons, but behind a facade of bands just going through the motions, Aerolyn might just be onto something.”— Jason Gardner, AbsolutePunk" from reverbnation.com/aerolyn

Aerolyn Lyrics

I don't know what you're thinking
I can't help you decide
Did it help you to decide
This piece of the picture
It just doesn't fit
I don't believe that you chose to leave
And I still love you
Not for who you were to me
But what you could have been
What I will strive to be
Just close your mouth and you would see like me
Your price of dignity is far too cheap
You'll never know you're not here to see
And there's nothing left to gain
And I still love you
Not for who you were to me
But what you could have been
What I will strive to be
What I will strive to be
Maybe you weren't the monster
You always seemed to be
Now I'm left in your shadow
Your truth won't set me free
And I still love you
Not for who you were to be
But what you could have been
Unlike you, I'll claim my life
Maybe you weren't the monster
You always seemed to be
Now I'm left in your shadow
Your truth won't set me free
You've won out
But you won't get the best of me
And I'm worn down
But I still believe
You're torn now
And you're left here to bleed
Your safe house
Is nowhere to be seen
Nowhere to be seen
I believe it ends
In "Architect," Aerolyn sings about a broken relationship and the pain of loving someone who chose to leave. The lyrics suggest that the singer still loves the person, but not for who they were to them, but for what they could have been. The lyrics also indicate that the singer struggles to understand why the other person left, and the other person's truth won't set them free. The singer says there's nothing left to gain, which suggests that they've accepted that the relationship is over, but they're still hurt.
The chorus of the song showcases the singer's determination to move on and become the person they aspire to be, unlike the other person who left. The verse "Maybe you weren't the monster, you always seemed to be, now I'm left in your shadow, your truth won't set me free" suggests that the other person's truth does not make sense to the singer and leaves them feeling stuck in the past. The outro of the song is a repetition of the chorus and implies that the singer has overcome the pain of the relationship and is moving forward.

Why love just a little bit less
Why settle for less love?
I don't know what you're thinking
I'm unable to read your mind
I can't help you decide
I can't make a choice for you
Did it help you to decide
Did you come to a decision?
This piece of the picture
This aspect of the situation
It just doesn't fit
It doesn't quite make sense
I don't believe that you chose to leave
I don't think you made the decision to go
Just remember this
Keep this in mind
And I still love you
My love for you remains
Not for who you were to me
Not based on our past relationship
But what you could have been
For the potential you hold
What I will strive to be
What I aspire to become
Just close your mouth and you would see like me
If you stop talking and start listening, you'd understand
Your price of dignity is far too cheap
You're compromising your self-respect
You'll never know you're not here to see
You'll never realize what you're missing
And there's nothing left to gain
There are no benefits to be had
Maybe you weren't the monster
Perhaps you weren't as bad as I thought
Now I'm left in your shadow
I'm living in your aftermath
Your truth won't set me free
Your honesty won't lift the burden
Unlike you, I'll claim my life
I'll take ownership of my life
You've won out
You've emerged victorious
But you won't get the best of me
I won't allow you to defeat me completely
And I'm worn down
I'm tired and drained
But I still believe
But I still have faith
You're torn now
You're in distress now
And you're left here to bleed
You're left to face the consequences of your actions
Your safe house
Your protective shield
Is nowhere to be seen
Is nonexistent
Nowhere to be seen
No trace of it remains
I believe it ends
I believe this is the end
