Ayria has been intensively and successfully touring across the globe over the past 3 years gaining a very solid reputation for putting on energetic live performances. Ayria toured the U.S.A as the chosen supporting act for legendary electronic-goth band The Crüxshadows (over 80 shows) and supported Combichrist. Ayria has also toured U.K., Europe, Russia, Mexico and Japan. Not fitting into any one musical category has allowed Ayria to gain a very broad fan base of underground goth, various underground club scenes as well as more mainstream audiences who are all addicted to Ayria’s infectious hooks.
Ayria has released three full length albums on the Belgian label [labelAlfa Matrix, including the highly acclaimed Hearts For Bullets released in September 2008. This release brings 12 hard hitting, tightly written and produced tracks each track uniquely evolving the Ayria sound. Hearts For Bullets was produced in Canada by none other than Sebastian R. Komor. Ayria hits straight and hard with Jennifer’s in-your-face sonic approach hanging between minimal electro, gritty bass synth lines and forceful stomping beats while never straying from the extremely feminine side of the project. Extravagant, provocative, bitchy and edgy yet all gut wrenchingly emotional and lyrically insightful; she hits a target somewhere between influences of Nitzer Ebb, M.I.A., Miss Kittin and Ladytron.
Before Ayria:
Jennifer Parkin is also known for her earlier work in Epsilon Minus, having released two albums as the lead vocalist, before leaving to form Ayria. Jennifer was also featured as a guest vocalist on many other projects, including Implant, Glis, Parallel Project, Aiboforcen and the Mexican project Isis Signum. Ayria has completed remixes and added vocals for bands such as Angelspit and Celldweller.

All That Glitters
Ayria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nothing to prove
Teen angst, it fades away
But all you assholes never change
There's nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
Been knocked out so many times
I'm scarred and broke and scabbed and bruised
But I'm still standing
And that will never change
All you have shown me
Is all that glitters
Is not gold
Is not gold
And all your glitter
It gets old
It gets old
You get old
Seen evils rise and fall
Heard lies and truths
Seen more than I'd like to
But seen enough to know
That assholes never change
Laid it all out for you
I've been right and wrong
Nothing they could say or do
Will change a thing
I've held on for this long
But I'm still standing
And that will never change
All you have shown me
Is all that glitters
Is not gold
Is not gold
And all your glitter
It gets old
It gets old
You get old
Got nothing to say to you
Got nothing to prove
Teen angst, it fades away
But all you assholes never change
There's nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
Been knocked out so many times
I'm scarred and broke and scabbed and bruised
And I'm still standing
And that will never change
All this has shown me
Is all that glitters
Is not gold
Is not gold
And all your glitter
It gets old
It gets old
Yeah, you get old
It gets old
It gets old
Teen angst
It fades away
All you assholes never change
Is all that glitters
Is not gold
Is not gold
And all your glitter
It gets old
It gets old
Is all that glitters
Is not gold
Is not gold
And all your glitter
It gets old
It gets old
You get old
The song "All that Glitters" by Ayria talks about a person who has been through a lot in their life and has come to the realization that not everything that looks good on the outside is actually good on the inside. The first verse talks about how the person has nothing left to say or prove to others who have wronged them in the past. Despite being knocked down many times, they still remain standing while the others who have hurt them continue to be the same. The chorus then declares that all glitter is not gold, it gets old, and so do the people who only care for appearances.
The second verse expands on this idea, saying that the person has seen the rise and fall of evils and has heard both lies and truths. They have been right and wrong but nothing will ever change the fact that they have held on for so long despite the hardships. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the point that all that glitters is not gold and it gets old.
In the end, the song comes full circle with the same lines from the first verse, seemingly pointing out the cyclical nature of life and the fact that the assholes who have hurt the singer in the past will continue to do so, as teen angst fades away but certain people never change.

Got nothing to say to you
I don't have anything to say to you
Got nothing to prove
I don't have anything to prove
Teen angst, it fades away
Teenage angst eventually fades away
But all you assholes never change
But you, who act as jerks will never change
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing else to say
Nothing left to do
There's nothing else to do
Been knocked out so many times
I've been knocked out many times
I'm scarred and broke and scabbed and bruised
I'm hurt physically and emotionally
But I'm still standing
But I'm still staying strong
And that will never change
And I know that will never change
All you have shown me
Your actions have shown me
Is all that glitters
That things that glitter
Is not gold
Are not valuable
And all your glitter
And all of that glitz
It gets old
It becomes monotonous or boring
You get old
You become uninteresting
Seen evils rise and fall
I have witnessed the rise and fall of wickedness
Heard lies and truths
I have heard lies and truths
Seen more than I'd like to
I have witnessed and experienced more than what I was expecting
But seen enough to know
However I have seen enough to know
Laid it all out for you
I have already presented everything to you
I've been right and wrong
I have been both right and wrong
Nothing they could say or do
There is nothing they could say or do
Will change a thing
That could make a difference
I've held on for this long
I have kept on enduring up to this point
All this has shown me
All of these have revealed to me
Yeah, you get old
Yes, you'll become dull and uninteresting
It gets old
It becomes monotonous or boring
And all your glitter
And all of that glitz
Is all that glitters
What appear shiny and beautiful
Is not gold
Are not valuable
Is not gold
Are not valuable
And all your glitter
And all of that glitz
It gets old
It becomes monotonous or boring
It gets old
It becomes monotonous or boring
