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.

Pink Dress
Ayria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feelings will conquer logic
So I crept out the back
Hopefully no one noticed
They said it's suicide
She's trapped inside her mind
She tastes like cyanide
I said I'm sorry
There was nothing I could do
You saw right through me
It's something I could never do
I thought you would laugh
But nothing prepared me for this
When nature strikes back
Who knew she would be so wicked?
She looks so peaceful now
Just like a doll somehow
But they don't see what I can see
She got to them and now she's coming for me
I'm sorry
There was nothing I could do
You saw right through me
It's something I could never do
She said disappear
That's something I'm good at too
It you don't keep quiet
They just might hear you too
I looked up to you
Idolized all you do
Was I the one that you pinned this on?
Well you won't get to blame me anymore
They said it's suicide
She's trapped inside her mind
But they don't see what I can see
That she's poisoned right through
I told you that I don't know where she could be
But I know that she is laughing down at me
They whispered;
'This one looks smug in her pink dress'
I fled the scene
She's innocent but she's a mess
I'm sorry
There was nothing I could do
You saw right through me
It's something I could never do
Now it's all black
And feelings will conquer logic
And nature strikes back
Who knew she would be so wicked?
The song "Pink Dress" by Ayria tells a haunting tale of guilt and fear. The first verse depicts the singer sneaking away from a dark scene, possibly a murder or suicide, hoping not to be caught. They express regret and offer an apology, indicating that they were somehow involved yet powerless to stop the tragedy. The second verse reveals that there was a female victim who had been struggling with mental illness or a poisoned state of mind. The singer idolized and respected someone, perhaps the victim, who may have wrongly accused them of causing harm. The chorus repeats the themes of powerlessness and apology, with a sense of desperation that suggests the singer is still in danger.
The bridge shifts to an eerie and surreal tone, with the victim now appearing as a ghostly doll. The singer is haunted by the sight and seems to acknowledge that they are not the only one in danger. The final verse repeats the idea of suicide and trapped thoughts, but introduces a new perspective on the situation. The victim is now "laughing down at me" and the singer is seen as "smug in her pink dress" by others. This line could suggest that the singer is a woman who may have been blamed for the victim's downfall, or that she is being judged for some other reason. The song ends with a sense of dread and repetition, reminding us that feelings can be more powerful than logic and that nature can be cruel.
