Having always been a lover of stories and made-up worlds, she has fed her passion for self-expression with a healthy lifestyle of creativity and writing. Since breaking into the music world in 2017, she has explored the themes of control and isolation and this can be seen in the themes explored in her writing as well. AViVA has said her music is about a 'Outsider's perspective and she is on a quest to help people feel a sense of strength around their identity and feel empowered to be themselves. AViVA once said she was always the "quirky" kid at school which was where she first felt like an Outsider herself. Her passion for performing arts and writing meant she often spent time in the library reading and writing or in the music classrooms.
AViVA grew up in a musical family. She started violin lessons when was 4 years old, and then studied piano before beginning classical vocal training and teaching herself guitar. AViVA attended high school at Mercy College in Chatswood, New South Wales, Australia and studied theatre and secondary education at the University of Notre Dame Australia eventually becoming a full time author and musician in 2018.
AViVA's debut novel SELF/LESS was released in October 2021 and the sequel RELENTLESS is due for release in August 2022. She has toured with artists such as Poppy and YUNGBLUD. She is also playing at MADCOOL festival in Madrid in 2022 and Riot Fest in Chicago in September 2022.
Hypnotized
Aviva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a fire demon
Take my soul, leave me here
I'm a shell, I'm heaving
Deep breath, deep breath, searching for air, I said
We don't want you here
We don't want you here
'Cause you didn't need to, need to be this evil
In the end, it's alright, we are all just people
Step back, step back
Lost chance, you hear, I said
We don't want you here
We don't want you here
Come join us, we want to play
Tell us all your fears
You don't want to run away
Now it's crystal clear
Can't you see you're hypnotized?
Locked inside those lies
No, don't you go out at night
You'll end up hypnotized, hypnotized
Hypnotized, hypnotized
No, don't you go out at night
Try and walk away, but you cannot escape
Too late now, made your choice
Like I said, too late
Get back, get back, think you're safe
But you're tripping because I said
We don't want you here
We don't want you here
Come join us, we want to play
Tell us all your fears
You don't want to run away
Now it's crystal clear
Can't you see you're hypnotized?
Locked inside those lies
No, don't you go out at night
You'll end up hypnotized, hypnotized
Hypnotized, hypnotized
No, don't you go out at night
Look into my eyes, find it so appealing
Look into my eyes, send your body reeling
Now you're hypnotized
Drag you down, down, down
Look into my eyes, find it so appealing
Look into my eyes, send your body reeling
Now you're hypnotized
So drag you down, down, down
Can't you see you're hypnotized?
Locked inside those lies
No, don't you go out at night
You'll end up hypnotized, hypnotized
Hypnotized, hypnotized
No, don't you go out at night
The lyrics of Aviva's "Hypnotized" suggest that the singer is warning someone about the dangers of being consumed by their own fear and the lies they tell themselves. The person being addressed in the song is described as a "fire demon" and "poison breathing" - someone who is causing destruction and harm. The singer tries to encourage them to step back and reassess their situation, acknowledging that we are all "just people" who sometimes make mistakes. However, the person is unable to escape their own self-delusion and ends up becoming "hypnotized" by their own lies and fears, leaving them trapped and vulnerable.
The repetition of the phrase "We don't want you here" adds a sense of urgent warning to the lyrics, suggesting that the person's actions are threatening and unwelcome. The line "Come join us, we want to play" could be interpreted as a mocking invitation, implying that the singer and others are superior and that the person is foolish for not seeing the truth. The hypnotic nature of the song is emphasized in the repeated refrain of "Can't you see you're hypnotized?" which emphasizes the idea that the person is trapped in their own negative state of mind and unable to break free.
Overall, Aviva's "Hypnotized" is a powerful warning about the dangers of self-deception and the importance of staying grounded in reality. The song's vivid imagery and strong metaphorical language create a tense and foreboding atmosphere, urging listeners to be cautious of their own thoughts and emotions.
Line by Line Meaning
You are poison breathing
You emit toxicity with every breath you take
Just a fire demon
You are like a demon made of fire
Take my soul, leave me here
You have the power to take away my will to live
I'm a shell, I'm heaving
I am empty inside and struggling to breathe
Deep breath, deep breath, searching for air, I said
I am trying to catch my breath and stay alive
We don't want you here
We don't want your negative influence around us
'Cause you didn't need to, need to be this evil
You chose to be malicious and cruel, even though it wasn't necessary
In the end, it's alright, we are all just people
Eventually we will all face the same fate, regardless of our actions
Step back, step back
Stay away from us
Lost chance, you hear, I said
You missed your opportunity to do the right thing
Come join us, we want to play
Join our group and participate in our activities
Tell us all your fears
Share with us your deepest concerns
You don't want to run away
You shouldn't feel the need to leave
Now it's crystal clear
The truth is now very obvious
Can't you see you're hypnotized?
You are under a spell and can't see the truth
Locked inside those lies
Your mind is trapped by falsehoods
No, don't you go out at night
Don't leave your current situation
You'll end up hypnotized, hypnotized
You will be trapped further and further under the spell
Try and walk away, but you cannot escape
You may try to leave, but the spell keeps you trapped
Too late now, made your choice
It's too late to turn back now
Get back, get back, think you're safe
You may feel secure, but you are not
But you're tripping because I said
You are stumbling because I have the power to keep you trapped
Look into my eyes, find it so appealing
You may find my eyes attractive
Look into my eyes, send your body reeling
My gaze has a powerful effect on you
Now you're hypnotized
You are now fully under my spell
Drag you down, down, down
I will pull you deeper and deeper under my control
