Sounding more homogenic than ever, with a minimalistic nerv and a rough edge, this EP adds a new side to Dear Euphoria's music. Elina and Sven have both deepen their expression and widen the sounds. The new songs' noticeably increased "pop-catchiness" nods both to sound of the 80's and onto contemporary indie stuff such as The XX, Joanna Newsome, The National and Loney, Dear. Still, they never lose Elina Johansson's own patented way of quirky singing and songwriting and Sven's complex arrangements, mixing acoustic and synthetic elements. The EP features the hymnlike titletrack This Night Will Flee, the epic pop songs Coming Down and Rescue, and the electronic rnb-hybrid No More Time To Weep.
Dear Euphoria's debut album For Everything Of Worth came out in Sweden in 2005 and was thereafter picked up by the British record label Stereo Test Kit who relased the debut in an enhanced version in 2007. In the process of recording the next album Heal My Violence, Dear Euphoria and STK decided to go separate ways and the album was instead released on Elina's own label Given Productions in March 2009. 'Heal My Violence' is very much a conspicious blend of just about everything out in left field; Dear Euphoria, neo-classic music, avantgarde, scandinavian folk and more. In a musical climate demanding for labelling, Elina has made exactly the difficulties to easy decide Dear Euphoria's genre into her multifarious music's greatest asset.
Both Dear Euphoria's albums have gathered an indie following in music blogs and media mostly outside Dear Euphoria's home country Sweden, and have been followed by European tours, such as in the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Awaiting
Dear Euphoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Patiently awaiting
Open as a lotus in bloom
Silently anticipating
The sun
The one
My heart
It makes me weak
Say who would love a freak
It keeps me alive
My aching strive
To belong
To come home
Could this be my turn
And could this really be my
Time to love
Chance to be loved
I've given up
My love
I have
So much to give you
I know I shouldn′t wait for no one
To fill this empty void
It's just that it's such a waste
All this passion pouring over
I′ve been waiting for something so true
Thought it could be you
Could this be my turn?
Could this please be my
Time to love
Chance to be loved
I′m giving up
Time to love
Chance to be loved
Don't give up
Time
To love
Time
To love
Time to love
Times to be loved
Don′t give up
My love
The lyrics of Dear Euphoria’s song Awaiting convey the emotions of a person waiting and hoping to find love. The heart is compared to the lotus flower, patiently and silently waiting for the sun, or in other words, waiting for the one true love to come along. The constant longing and ache for belonging is a consistent theme throughout the song, with the fear of being rejected for being different emphasized in the line “say who would love a freak”. However, despite this fear and uncertainty, the singer is still hopeful and willing to give their love to the right person. There is a sense of urgency in the repeated phrases “could this be my turn” and “time to love”, with the plea to not give up on finding love.
The song’s overall message is one of hope and determination in the face of doubt and fear. The singer acknowledges their weaknesses, but refuses to give up on the possibility of finding love, even if it means waiting. The repeated refrain of “time to love” and “chance to be loved” emphasizes the importance of seizing the opportunity to love and be loved.
