In 2007, Elsiane launched its first album, Hybrid, which was very well received by the public and the media. The aerial and bewitching opus led the band to tour with Delerium and Beast, as well as to play the Montreal International Jazz Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, Osheaga and M for Montreal. These performances were a real consecration for Elsiane, which attracted many faithful fans with its stupefying shows, combining stunning visual and audio elements for an evocative, hypnotizing experience. After the buzz surrounding Hybrid, Elsiane has withdrawn to write new songs and to collaborate with Olivier Dufour for the Quebec City 400th anniversary main event soundtrack. The band also worked with Booka Shade, Delerium and performed for the Cirque du Soleil show, Le Royaume de Tôle.
Five years after releasing Hybrid, the duo finally presents its second opus, Mechanics of Emotion. Less dark than the first record, but preserving the hooking melodies and complex arrangements, this album is a true renaissance for the duo. The band self-produced this 11 track album of organic pop, with the collaboration of sound-engineer Rob Heaney (Patrick Watson, Cirque du Soleil).

Elsiane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've nearly began to understand as I grown my way
There is no light out of all the places
There is no sign of our help
There is no time and a chance of relations
What if I choose to live? Living in a dangerous womb
Its like falling every moment every stage
Living in my own little world
How did this begin and turned in such inhumanity?
I'm hoping for myself to escape the insanity, I'm open
What if I choose to live and what if I killed you, Inhumanity
There is no light out of all the places
There is no sign of our help
There is no time and a chance of relations What if I choose you
How did this begin and turned in such inhumanity?
I'm hoping for myself to escape the insanity, I'm open
What if I choose to live and what if I killed you Inhumanity
The song "Hybrid" by Elsiane explores themes of inner conflict, existential confusion, and desperation. The lyrics imply a struggle with one's own identity and a feeling of being trapped in a dangerous, unpredictable world. The singer of the song seems to be struggling to make sense of their life experiences, as they describe feeling like they are failing a battle without sense. They are questioning whether or not to choose to live, in a world where they feel there is no light, no sign of help and no time for relationships.
The sense of confusion and despair in the lyrics is underscored by the repetition of the phrase "What if..." which suggests a sense of uncertainty and doubt about the choices the singer is making. The use of contrasting imagery in the lines "Living in a dangerous womb" and "Living in my own little world" adds to the sense of conflict and uncertainty in the song. The repeated phrase "Inhumanity" at the end of the song suggests a sense of outrage, perhaps at the world and the people in it.
Overall, "Hybrid" is a complex and introspective song that seems to explore themes of identity, isolation, and the struggle to find meaning in an unpredictable world.
