1. Swedish pop four-piece.

2. Five-piece rock band from Muskegon, Michigan.

3. New Jersey-based R&B/Soul singer-songwriter.

1. Swedish four-piece Audrey formed in Henån, Sweden in 2002 and started performing gigs in April of the same year. Having recorded a demo in the studio of an artist's collective in Gothenburg in the summer of 2003, the positive responses were immediate. During the summer and autumn they played more shows, selling over 500 demos in the process.

Moving forward a year or so, Audrey began to develop their sound. The embryo of their dark, suggestive pop took its first form in a run-down music house in the archipelago of Gothenburg. "It was really the worst place, the building was about to be demolished as we rehearsed there. The toilet was broken, the pipes had frozen and there were mice running around on the floor", says guitarist Victoria Skoglund.

Describing Audrey's music is no easy task. If the group has succeeded in finding a central theme, it's a balance in the melodies - shimmering, beautiful moments of pop meet dark sadness.

The harmonies (everyone in the group shares vocal efforts) shift quickly between keys and moods. Straightforward, conventional narrative is replaced by abstract meanings which strengthen the melodies. "I like it when the lyrics can mean different things, that we give clues to our audience. Sometimes we can write quite incoherent things, but we are looking for a feeling in the music", says Victoria.

Members:
Rebecka Kristiansson (bass, vocals)
Emelie Molin (cello, piano, vocals)
Anna Tomlin (drums, percussion, vocals)
Victoria Skoglund (guitar, piano, vocals)

2. Audrey is a five piece rock band from Muskegon, Michigan. They released their debut "When We Were Young" in 2009 at Cornerstone College with producer Mike Cervantes.

The newly formed quartet recorded In early 2010 at 3358 studios, and released "Acoustic EP 2010".

She’s teamed up with producer Anwar Sawyer of RocNation and founder of indie label SMG Ent, to cultivate a new R&B electro edge.

RATS
Audrey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's that thing you do with your eyes
But I have four
You like to talk, but I prefer to lay down
Forget about that we met
To bury my head in a mole of sand
Cry, forget about that we met

No, it's not about fear

It's not about fear

It's the way you are
But no, I survive
Forget about that we love

No, it's not about fear

It's not about fear
It's about you

Overall Meaning

The song "Rats" by Audrey is an introspective, moody piece that tackles the complexities of a toxic relationship. The opening lines "It's that thing you do with your eyes, but I have four" describe a subtle manipulation by the subject, implying that there is deceitfulness behind their gaze. The next lines "You like to talk, but I prefer to lay down" highlight a sense of exhaustion and detachment felt by the singer, who feels disconnected from the subject.

The chorus "Forget about that we met, to bury my head in a mole of sand, cry, forget about that we met" is a somber, anxious plea to erase the past and move on. The lines "No, it's not about fear, it's not about fear" emphasize that the singer's feelings are not driven by fear but rather by the weight of the relationship. The closing lines "It's the way you are, but no, I survive, forget about that we love, no, it's not about fear, it's not about fear, it's about you" encapsulate the complicated nature of the singer's emotions, acknowledging the pain of the situation while also recognizing their own resilience.

Line by Line Meaning

It's that thing you do with your eyes
The look you give is familiar, but I have no means to express it in the same way

But I have four
However, my perception and way of seeing things is different from yours

You like to talk, but I prefer to lay down
We have different ways of communicating or expressing ourselves

Forget about that we met
Let's ignore the fact that we have ever encountered each other

To bury my head in a mole of sand
I want to hide or escape from reality

Cry, forget about that we met
Crying will help me forget that we have ever crossed paths

No, it's not about fear
Fear is not the emotion I am feeling

It's the way you are
My emotions are a result of your behavior or characteristics

But no, I survive
But despite this, I am still able to cope or live without you

Forget about that we love
Let's pretend that our love for each other never existed

No, it's not about fear
Once again, my emotions are not driven by fear
