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.

Ayria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drawing all the faces I have seen all the time
But my place is no longer by your side
The solution is beside me
Up on me and up through me and within me
To take care of me when no one else will
When everyone has gone away there's no one but me and you
To live and to see
And get the maximum out of life
No matter where
No matter why
No matter why...
Just stay as you are
You're free to choose
You're free to go, you're free to love, and free to give
I will try to guess what destiny's next step is gonna be
To live and to see
And get the maximum out of life
No matter where
No matter why
No matter why...
I'm drowning just to feel the air around me
I'm drawing all the faces I have seen all the time
But my place is no longer by your side
The solution is beside me
Up on me and up through me
The solution is beside me
Up on me and up through me and within me
To take care of me when no one else will
When everyone has gone away there's no one but me and you
The lyrics of "Liberty" by Ayria explore the theme of self-reliance and independence. The singer is drowning, but instead of seeking help from others, she is trying to find a solution within herself. She acknowledges that her place is no longer by someone's side, and the solution is beside her, up on her, and within her. This can be interpreted as the singer struggling with a situation where she feels alone, and the only way to overcome it is to take charge of her own life and rely on herself.
The chorus repeats the message that the singer is free to choose, go, love, and give. She is not bound by anyone or anything and has the power to make her own decisions. The line "I will try to guess what destiny's next step is gonna be" suggests that she is ready to take on whatever challenges come her way and make the most of her life, no matter the circumstances.

I love this song, when she says "but my place is no longer by you're side" I melt.
