Electrasy achieved minor UK chart success with "Morning Afterglow" (reached #19) and released two albums, 1998's Beautiful Insane in the UK and 2000's In Here We Fall in the U.S., with some track overlap. Trouble with their record labels – first MCA/Universal UK and then Arista in the U.S. – delayed their third album, Wired for Dreaming, which was finally released in 2007 and sold by Pink Hedgehog Records.
Electrasy's American album In Here We Fall features a cover of the Led Zeppelin song "Dazed and Confused". The song "Cosmic Castaway", from the same album, was also featured on the soundtrack album of the 2000 animated film Titan A.E. Also "Renegades" was featured in Monkeybone.

Electrasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say goodbye to your mother 'cause she'd never believe ya
I might have been wrong but she must've been easy
I never saw it coming but I'm messin' with my best friends girl
Devastated coming down on novocaine
Goin' up goin' down and coming up again
Now your married to the movies like it's all insane
I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends, yeah with my best friends girl
My lipsticks runnin' and I look like I'm bleeding
Got to love one another what a wonderful feelin'
I know I've got a habit and I want you to feed it
I never saw it coming but I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends, yeah with my best friends girl
I know I want you and I know that it could be
Because it is inevitable it doesn't mean it should be
Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump
Time, one time, come on, with me, this time your mine so don't you see
That you get what you get what you double you double
I'm messing with my best friends girl
I never saw it coming but I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends girl
I'm messing with my best friends, yeah with my best friends girl
The lyrics of Electrasy's song "Best Friend's Girl" depict a tale of forbidden love and the consequences that come with it. The first few lines set the scene with "champagne lovers on a TV screen," setting the tone for a luxurious and reckless affair. The singer then addresses the fact that his friend's girl must have been "easy," indicating that she was willing to be unfaithful. The line "I never saw it coming but I'm messing with my best friend's girl" suggests that the singer was caught off guard by his feelings and actions.
The second paragraph describes the aftermath of their affair, with the singer feeling "devastated" and resorting to painkillers to cope. He seems to be in a cycle of highs and lows, both physically and emotionally. The mention of being "married to the movies" implies that the girl is more interested in the fantasy world of Hollywood than in real-life relationships. However, the singer is still struggling with his feelings for her, even though he knows it's wrong. The line "I know I've got a habit and I want you to feed it" suggests that he is addicted to the thrill of their secret love.
In the final paragraph, the singer acknowledges his attraction to the girl and the inevitability of their relationship, but questions whether it's worth it. The repeated line of "jump, jump, jump" suggests that he's trying to convince himself to take the leap and pursue her, even though he knows it's wrong. The song ends with the realization that while he may want her, he is still "messing with my best friend's girl."
