In 2005, she released her debut album titled Lemon Love. The name Lemon Love is due to the fact that every car she has owned turned out to break down, or in other words, turned out to be a "lemon"; she spent more on repairing them than they were actually worth. The album Lemon Love reached number #36 on the Top Heatseeker charts and it's single Be the Girl reached #26.
In January 2008, Aslyn released an EP entitled The Grand Garden EP. The EP features 28 songs, most of which were recorded between Lemon Love and Wherever the Dandelion Falls. It is divided up into 4 parts, each one having 7 different songs.
In January 2009, Aslyn's second full length album, The Dandelion Sessions was released under Lemonade Records. The 13 song collection includes some old fan favorites that have been played at live concerts for a couple of years now, such as "Your Best Thing", "The Way It Goes", and "Making Her Right". Another fan favorite recorded with Zac Brown, "Trying to Drive" was also included on the album. She is now managed by J.Romo Music Management.

Aslyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything there is about you and you can't live with that
Go on and go and I'll stand by the door
And watch you crawl to start a new life, I couldn't love that anymore
Cause you've run out of time
Give me back what's mine
For the taking, man
This is getting old
You took my heart and you made a puzzle of it
And now I'm left, picking up the pieces from it
How long must it take to right a wrong, to mend a break?
Can you put it back together, back together again?
A piece on the counter and one on the bedroom floor
And an unnecessary mag and piece lingers on the porch
Don't look for forgiveness cause it's out of your reach
Where I still feel the shadow of what you've taken from me
So let the world stand still
There's no space left to fill
When you cannot find
All you leave behind
You took my heart and you made a puzzle of it
And now I'm left, picking up the pieces from it
How long must it take to right a wrong, to mend a break?
Can you put it back together, back together again?
One day, you will see
You will think of me
And you'll realize
What you left behind
You'll be on your own
With this upon your soul
You took my heart and you made a puzzle of it
And now I'm left, picking up the pieces from it
How long must it take to right a wrong, to mend a break?
Can you put it back together, back together again?
The song Puzzle by Aslyn is a heart wrenching ballad that speaks about a person whose heart has been broken and shattered into pieces. The lyrics convey that the singer knows everything about their partner, and they cannot live with the knowledge that they have been betrayed. The singer tells their partner to go and start a new life, and they will watch them crawl out of it because they couldn't love anything more. It is evident that the singer is hurt and betrayed by their partner, and they are asking them to give them back what rightfully belongs to them.
The singer compares their heart to a puzzle, and in the process of venting their anguish, paints a vivid image of the broken pieces of their heart scattered all over their house. They describe how each piece of their heart is in the wrong place, and how painful it is to pick up the pieces of their heart. The singer asks their partner whether they can fix the pieces of their heart, put them back together again, and mend the break. The song concludes with a decisive tone by the singer, stating that eventually, their partner will realize what they left behind and that they will be on their own with that upon their soul.
