Upon the band's formation, they released one extended play (EP) in 2007, titled This Is Your Way Out, and shortly after, the group underwent significant line-up and sound changes, dropping their metalcore influence and leaning towards a more rock sound. The band released their debut studio album, Relativity (2008), which featured vocalist Jonny Craig and rhythm guitarist Jonas Ladekjaer. Their second studio album, Emarosa, was released in June 2010, to critical acclaim, and was Craig's final album with the group.
Following Craig's departure, the band toured briefly with a fill-in vocalist before entering a period of inactivity. Eventually, Craig was formally replaced by Walden. Emarosa then released their third studio album, Versus, on September 9, 2014, which peaked at No. 61 in the Billboard 200. The band signed to Hopeless Records and released their fourth and fifth studio albums, 131 (2016) and Peach Club (2019). A sixth, Sting, is set for release in January 2023.

Epoch Coda
Emarosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we fail again
I'm falling down with regret
look away from everything
and tell me what you see
there's no coming back from here
Everything I'll ever be I am
look away from everything I am
it's all around me
And I'm not looking back
where everything was so familiar
but so far away, so far away
Oh my there is no ending
I can't escape from this anymore
oh God there's no way out of here
the walls are closing in
everything I've ever loved is gone
take this for what it's worth
I've found there is no meaning
this is the end of me
and I'm not holding back
the worst is over
the worst is over
there's no tomorrow
this is your way out
My God you lost a world you tried to make us love
we haven't seen the world
since you took our bodies and led them to the skies
as it carries us away
I can feel his hands as they pull me in
by your grace God let me fly
set me free
let me fly
God let me fly

Your grandma blew me about
Epoch coda is a masterpiece “last song”
I have been trying to find this ep snd especially this song for like 5 years. I had this on my IPOD back in THe day. And I had this song In my head and was like “it’s not under oath or confide or something like misery signals” and just for the life of me could not remember. Then I remembered it was emasosa before they changed styles.
So happy to finally hear it again
