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.

Hunger
Ayria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will never be enough
My hunger strikes, I'm never satisfied
I just can't consume enough.
My will breaking, racing towards a bitter end.
Choking on the aftertaste
How can I survive on what you've given?
It will never satiate.
On these stars I've made a wish
A million voices, a million fists.
I wish I may, I wish I might
Devour it all in one bite.
Will all this ever be enough?
I don't want to hunger anymore.
Sometimes I lose my passion, forgetting all I loved.
Is this the best we'll ever know?
All my idols gave up long ago
I'm terrified I'll lose the taste for all I've loved.
When the sweetness starts to lose its taste
The sour contaminates.
From pretty pedestals we're getting all we've craved.
Try to swallow up the shame.
When beauty all decays and rots.
I'm still starving deep inside
Tearing petals off me one by one.
Until I'm just barely alive.
Is it ever enough? Forgotten all that I've loved.
Is this the best we'll know? All my idols gave up so long ago.
The lyrics of Ayria's "Hunger" express the unquenchable desire for more in life, despite receiving abundant blessings. The song talks about the human nature of always seeking more, and how even the most beautiful things in life can lose their flavor over time. The line "I wanted the stars, you gave me the sky. It will never be enough" sets the tone for the entire song. It speaks to how even receiving something as grand as the sky is not enough when one is constantly seeking more.
The chorus, "Will all this ever be enough? I don't want to hunger anymore" expresses the exhaustion of always wanting more and the need for fulfillment. The line "Sometimes I lose my passion, forgetting all I loved. Is this the best we'll ever know?" speaks to how passion for something can quickly fade, leaving one questioning if life can be any better than it is right now.
The lyrics of "Hunger" speak to the human condition of always wanting more and never being truly satisfied. It is a reminder that the things we seek in life may not bring the satisfaction we think they will.
