In July 2016, their original bassist Justin Niece, stepped down from the position for personal reasons, and was replaced with Keegan Beach.
They have released three EPs so far. Navigate was released in 2012 and The Remedy in 2013. In May 2016 after some time away from the spotlight writing and recording they released the single "Air I Breathe" and followed it up with "Let's Do Something Crazy" in July 2016. Both songs were then included on their third EP Follow.
The band is currently on hiatus while the members pursue their own projects but are all still on good terms with each other
Wolves
Crystalyne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All they want is to cut my breathing
They're the cause of my first collapse
This is the aftermath
Claws are crushing me
Now I've learned to shut my feelings down
Don't cry, I won't cry
Please someone tell me why
I needed you to surround the whole of me
Foolishly waited for hours and now it's nearly morning
The wolves are wearing me down
I'd love to change the fact that
I need you now
I'm not shutting you out
I need you now
I'm not shutting you out
Like animals
They hunt you through the vein and you will
Run away, run run away
But is there a turn to take
The night is young
You got a big breath of air within your lungs
I plan to fight
Cause things were always right when
I needed you to surround the whole of me
Foolishly waited for hours and now it's nearly morning
The wolves are wearing me down
I'd love to change the fact that
I need you now
I'm not shutting you out
I need you now
I'm not shutting you out
I said I was over with you and I'd be better now
I just saw myself as one to walk away and not turn around
The strangest thing is just now I'm realizing
I needed you to surround the whole of me
Foolishly waited for hours and now it's nearly morning
The wolves are wearing me down
I'd love to change the fact that
I need you now
I'm not shutting you out
I need you now
I'm not shutting you out
I need you now
I'm not shutting you out
The song "Wolves" by Crystalyne is about feeling vulnerable and hunted by your problems, symbolized by wolves. The lyrics describe how these problems have caused the singer to shut down her emotions, in an attempt to protect herself from being hurt. However, despite her efforts to keep her distance, she is ultimately forced to recognize that she needs the support of someone she cares about.
The chorus of the song talks about waiting for someone to be there for her, but feeling as though she's running out of time. The wolves represent her fears and anxieties, which are preventing her from being able to fully open up to this person. The line "They hunt you through the vein and you will run away" suggests that her problems are deeply ingrained and hard to shake off.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of forgiveness and second chances. The singer previously thought that she was over this person and could move on, but now realizes that she still needs them. This suggests that she is willing to forgive them for whatever they may have done in the past, and hopes that they can start anew.
Overall, "Wolves" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that deals with themes of vulnerability, fear, and the need for human connection.

I'm not going to let this thing defeat me, I will fight back
Cause things were always right when
I remember a time when things were better and I'm holding onto hope that they can be that way again
I said I was over with you and I'd be better now
I tried to move on from a past relationship but now I realize I still need that support and connection
I just saw myself as one to walk away and not turn around
I thought I could handle everything on my own and didn't want to rely on anyone else
The strangest thing is just now I'm realizing
I'm finally realizing that I can't handle this on my own and I need help

It’s because of advertising basically.. the radio people and label people decide who they want to market more…sad but true
