She has released three full-length albums, Disorder, Relapse, and REFORM, and her music has been featured on several compilation CDs, in the PC video game Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines by Troika Games, on the CBS television series NCIS and in the independent film Extinguish released by Outsider Filmworks. The name Chiasm (Greek χίασμα, "crossing") comes from the biological term of the crossing of optic neurons in the brain that allow people to have continuous and peripheral vision. Chiasm is produced in Detroit, USA.

At the age of five, Emileigh Rohn began taking piano lessons from her church organist, Mildred Benson, and eventually began singing solos in church. By the age of 13 she received a Casiotone keyboard and began experimenting with electronic music. In her final year of high school she joined an experimental/industrial performance art group called Inter Animi.

In the fall of 1997, while studying molecular biology in Detroit, Rohn joined Calvin P. Simmons in his project Dragon Tears Descending (DTD) as a keyboardist doing performances and supporting other bands. Rohn then left DTD and formed her own project Electrophoretic Transfer in 1998.

Chiasm began in 1998 when Rohn began to entirely produce her own music with her first demo CD named "Embryonic" completed in October. Her song "Bouncing Baby Clones" was featured on a Detroit Electronica compilation CD, D[elEcTROnIc]T, in the spring of 1999. By March 2001, Rohn released her debut album, Disorder on COP International.

Following Disorder, the track "Isolated" was released on the PC Game, "Vampire-The Masqurerade-Bloodlines" as well as used in an episode of the CBS series "Navy:NCIS" in 2003 coinciding with the release of the remix album with labelmate Threat Level 5 titled "Divided We Fall: The Remix Collection". The second full-length solo album, "Relapse" was released in 2005, also on COP.

Chiasm released a virtual single, "Prefrontal EP", exclusively on iTunes in 2006 through COP International. Her new full-length album, titled "REFORM", was released in September 2008! "REFORM" CDs are now available! Be sure to check out the new Facebook page, and keep in touch with her on Myspace where new remixes and random older tracks are also posted for streaming!

Emileigh is currently working on new material, an album called "11:11" and remixes/collaborations with other artists.

Chiasm Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you
And I know what to feel inside
For the first time
And I know

What I need I have
By myself
I am someone

So stop me

So stop me
So stop me from taking you
So stop me from loving you

I have all I need by myself
For the first time
I see you
And I know

What to feel
What I need I have by myself
By myself I am someone
So stop me from loving you

So stop me from wanting you
I have all I need by myself
I am someone
I am someone

All I need I have by myself
I have all I need
So stop me from taking you
So stop me from loving you

I have all I need by myself
And I could never feel this way again
You'll never take the pain the way I did
I'll never be the same again

I couldn't be what I'd always wanted
I am someone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chiasm's song Someone explore the theme of self-empowerment and independence. The singer expresses that they have finally found what they need within themselves, and they are someone because of it. The song is about the singer realizing their self-worth and recognizing that they do not need anyone else to complete them. This newfound self-confidence is threatened by the presence of another person that they have feelings for - the singer wants this person but recognizes that this desire is a deviation from their new sense of self. The singer pleads for someone to stop them from ruining their newfound independence and sense of self by pursuing a relationship out of fear of losing it.
