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.
Victoria
Electrasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that I fell in love with you
I was nine and you were ten, it was true love way back then
from the moment I set eyes on you
Oh Victoria, where are you now
If I found you I would cherish you
Love you and replenish you
Oh Victoria
Don't look back, I'm getting older every day
and I'm sure you must be too
ever since I've been a man, I get hurt and I get sad
Then I dream and I get curious
Oh Victoria, where are you now
If I found you I would cherish you
Love you and replenish you
now I'm down where the hell are you
Oh Victoria
Night and day, you are the same for me
and your always on my mind
Anyway, you're just a game to me
But your always on my mind
Oh Victoria, where are you now
Oh Victoria, where are you now
If I found you I would cherish you
love you and replenish you
now I'm down where the hell are you
Oh Victoria
cause I feel down
The lyrics to Electrasy's song "Victoria" tell the story of a man's unrequited love for someone he met as a child. The singer recounts falling in love with Victoria when he was nine and she was ten, but he never told her how he felt. As he gets older, he still thinks about her and wonders where she is, but acknowledges that she may have moved on just as he has. He struggles with hurt and sadness as an adult, but continues to dream and think about what could have been with Victoria.
The song is a reflection on love and loss, and the passage of time. The singer's feelings for Victoria stem from a youthful innocence that he is unable to recapture as an adult. His longing for her is a way of holding onto that lost part of himself. Despite the sadness that comes with this longing, there is also a sense of hope in the way that the singer still dreams of finding Victoria and cherishing her, even after all these years.
Overall, the lyrics to "Victoria" evoke a sense of nostalgia and wistfulness for a time and a love that can never be recaptured. The song reminds us of the power of childhood memories and how they can shape our adult selves, even as we move on and grow apart from the people we once loved.

When I die, I don't want anyone to know
I want to hide my true feelings from the world even after I am gone
that I fell in love with you
I was deeply in love with you, but never expressed it openly
I was nine and you were ten, it was true love way back then
We fell in love when we were just kids and I knew it was real
from the moment I set eyes on you
I knew I loved you the instant I met you
Oh Victoria, where are you now
I wonder where you are and what you are doing these days
If I found you I would cherish you
If I ever found you, I would love and take care of you forever
Love you and replenish you
I would shower you with love and make you feel whole again
Now I'm down where the hell are you
I am feeling low and lost, and I need you by my side
Don't look back, I'm getting older every day
I am growing old and it is time to move on from the past
and I'm sure you must be too
I assume you have also moved on and left our past behind
ever since I've been a man, I get hurt and I get sad
As I have grown up, I have faced more heartache and pain
Then I dream and I get curious
In my dreams, I still long for you and wonder about what could have been
Night and day, you are the same for me
No matter what, I still feel the same love for you day and night
and your always on my mind
I cannot forget you and you are always on my thoughts
Anyway, you're just a game to me
Even though my love for you is real, it may not be reciprocated, and I see our past as a game now
cause I feel down
I feel down and lost without you in my life
