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.

Horrible Dream
Ayria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not feeling so right
Uncontrolled-mismanaged hate
No one is right
Differences unforeseen
Bound to lead
At failed attempts to do something constructively
Destroy it
Abuse it and enjoy it
This horrible dream
A horrible nightmare
A wonderful dream
A wonderful nightmare
This toxic mind provoking all hostility
Frail on the outer side, anxiety
Afraid of what I'm capable of damaging
Manifestation of a mental disease
Diffuse it
Destroy it
Abuse it and enjoy it
This horrible dream
A horrible nightmare
A wonderful dream
A wonderful nightmare
I cannot control this
Why can't I do something?
Why can't I do anything?
Why can't I do something
To stop the hostility?
The lyrics to Ayria's song "Horrible Dream" explore the inner struggles of a person who is consumed by toxic thoughts and emotions. The first stanza describes the bitterness and hate that the person feels towards others, and the sense of helplessness that arises from their failed attempts to manage these feelings constructively. This is likely a reference to a conflict or difficult situation in their life that they are struggling to deal with.
The second stanza deepens the sense of turmoil, as the person describes their anxiety and fear of the damaging potential of their thoughts and feelings. They imply that this inner turmoil is a manifestation of a mental illness, which they are struggling to control. In this context, the repeated refrain of "diffuse it, destroy it, abuse it and enjoy it" takes on a sinister tone, as if the person is struggling against a powerful force that they are unable to contain.
The final stanza captures the desperation and frustration of this struggle - the person can't understand why they are unable to control their thoughts and behavior, and why they are unable to stop the hostility that they feel towards others. Overall, the lyrics to "Horrible Dream" offer a powerful and visceral portrayal of the inner struggles that many people face when dealing with difficult emotions and situations.
