Aesthetic Perfection was formerly signed directly to Metropolis Records in the United States and Out of Line Records in Europe, until Graves decided to run it on his independent label Close to Human Records. Additionally, the band was licensed to Gravitator Records in Russia and Death Watch Asia in Japan.
The band's third album, All Beauty Destroyed, was released on November 4, 2011, in Europe and November 8, 2011, in the United States.
On March 29, 2019, Aesthetic Perfection released its sixth album, Into the Black. Unlike previous albums which were released by labels, Into the Black was self-released. According to Graves, this was an intentional move towards running the band free of label intervention, due to a belief that the label industry model was "dying".

Aesthetic Perfection Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This feeling you have
Just know I'm right here,
Just try and hold on
And you give me a life,
And I drink till it's gone,
There's something not right here,
It's always felt wrong
But on a night where no one believed,
The darker half was splitting the seams,
Just baby, hold on,
I'm begging, hold on
But through a light that no one could see,
Illuminate the shadows beneath,
I'm begging, hold on
Just baby, hold on
We don't really know,
Just where we will go,
I can see you're unhappy,
But I'll always come home
And you speak with the fire,
Your kisses burning my tongue,
I know you're living alike I know you're waiting,
I'll string you along
Though we're alive we struggle to breathe,
You've had enough, you're dying to flee,
I'm begging, hold on
Just baby, hold on
Life is hard and I know it seems,
Our heavy hearts require some peace,
I'm begging, hold on
Just baby, hold on
As the darkness falls,
As the shadows crawl,
Must this sunset be forever?
Can we find the will,
Can we climb this hill,
Can we reach up to the light once more?
There's a fight they're bringing to me,
I'm not afraid I'm willing to bleed, yes,
I'm begging, hold on
Come on baby, hold on
And though the world cries for our defeat,
Our darkest hour will be victory,
If we only hold on,
Come on baby, hold on
The song "Lovesick" by Aesthetic Perfection talks about a relationship that is going through a rough patch, where one person in the relationship is struggling to deal with some intense emotions. The singer hopes that the other person can overcome these feelings and hold on. The first verse talks about how the singer is there for the other person, but they also recognize that there's something not right in the relationship, and it's felt wrong for a long time. The chorus talks about how there's hope if they can hold on through the darkness and that the singer is begging the other person to hold on.
The second verse suggests that the other person is unhappy and that they're speaking with a lot of passion and intensity about their feelings, which the singer feels in their kisses. They acknowledge that the other person is living but waiting, and they'll string them along. The next few lines talk about how they're both alive, but struggling to breathe and that the weight of their heavy hearts requires some peace. The chorus repeats, with the singer begging them to hold on.
The final verse is a plea to fight for their relationship, to not give up, and to find the will to climb the hill and reach for the light once more. The singer acknowledges that there's a fight coming, but they're willing to bleed for it. They ask the other person to hold on, even though the world may cry for their defeat; their darkest hour can still be their victory if they only hold on.
Line by Line Meaning
I hope it will pass,
I hope this feeling will go away
This feeling you have
The feeling of lovesickness
Just know I'm right here,
You have my support
Just try and hold on
Hang in there
And you give me a life,
Your presence in my life means everything to me
And I drink till it's gone,
I consume alcohol until it's all gone
There's something not right here,
Something has felt off for a while
It's always felt wrong
This feeling has persisted
But on a night where no one believed,
On a hopeless night
The darker half was splitting the seams,
The negativity within was overwhelming
Just baby, hold on,
Don't give up
I'm begging, hold on
Please don't let go
But through a light that no one could see,
Despite the darkness, there is still hope
Illuminate the shadows beneath,
Shed light on the difficult things
We don't really know,
We can't predict the future
Just where we will go,
Where our paths will take us
I can see you're unhappy,
I can tell you're not okay
But I'll always come home
I'll always be here for you
And you speak with the fire,
You speak passionately
Your kisses burning my tongue,
Your love feels intense
I know you're living alike I know you're waiting,
I know you're struggling too
I'll string you along
I'll keep you going
Though we're alive we struggle to breathe,
We're alive, but not thriving
You've had enough, you're dying to flee,
You've reached your limit and want to escape
Life is hard and I know it seems,
Life is challenging
Our heavy hearts require some peace,
We need to find some relief
As the darkness falls,
As times get tougher
As the shadows crawl,
As negativity creeps in
Must this sunset be forever?
Is this our fate?
Can we find the will,
Can we find the strength
Can we climb this hill,
Can we overcome this obstacle
Can we reach up to the light once more?
Can we find hope again?
There's a fight they're bringing to me,
I'm facing a challenge
I'm not afraid I'm willing to bleed, yes,
I'm ready to face it head on
Come on baby, hold on
Keep fighting
And though the world cries for our defeat,
Despite the odds
Our darkest hour will be victory,
We will come out stronger
If we only hold on,
If we don't give up
Come on baby, hold on
Keep fighting
