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 was also featured as a guest vocalist on many other projects, including Implant, Glis, Parallel Project, Aiboforcen and the Mexican project Isis Signum.

Ayria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The candle flickers
Beside you in the red
The beat of nameless songs
The pulsing flame goes on
I try to hear
But I am not there
With nothing left in the way
I've never felt this way before
I fear I'll never feel this way again
What do you need to feel from me
Take what you want
What do you see?
On the ocean and beyond
Amidst the others
I'm waiting impatient
An echoed existence
The dull light lingers
The candle flickers
Beside you in the red
The beat of nameless songs
The pulsing flame goes on
I try to hear
But I am not there
The faces unfamiliar
I've never felt so close
A flickered little moment that goes on
That leaves me so sore
The lyrics to Ayria's song "Mercury" paint a picture of longing and desire, with the singer expressing feelings of being lost and disconnected. The opening lines describe a scene where the light is dull and a candle is flickering, creating a sense of tension and uncertainty. The beat of nameless songs and the pulsing flame suggest a rhythm and intensity that the singer is trying to tune into, but they feel disconnected and not fully present. This sets up the tone for the rest of the song, which is about the singer's desire for a deeper connection with someone.
The chorus reveals that the singer has just met someone for the first time and is experiencing intense feelings of attraction and uncertainty. They fear they may never feel this way again and are unsure what the other person wants or sees in them. The second verse describes a sense of waiting and impatience, as if the singer is waiting for the other person to take action or reciprocate their feelings. The final lines "A flickered little moment that goes on / That leaves me so sore" suggest that although the meeting was brief, it has had a deep impact on the singer and they are left with a sense of longing and pain.
Overall, the lyrics to "Mercury" capture the fleeting and intense nature of attraction and desire, as well as the confusion and uncertainty that can come with it. The imagery of the flickering candle and dull light create a sense of tension and uncertainty, while the pulsing rhythm and beat of the music suggest a desire for connection and intensity.

On the ocean and beyond
Further than just the ocean
Amidst the others
In the midst of everyone else
I'm waiting impatient
I am eagerly waiting but feeling restless
An echoed existence
Living a repetitive existence or with no clear direction
The faces unfamiliar
Unfamiliar individuals are present
I've never felt so close
Although unfamiliar, individuals feel quite significant to me
A flickered little moment that goes on
A brief moment that continues to replay in my mind
That leaves me so sore
That leaves me feeling emotionally hurt
