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.

Emarosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They come forth at night
Demanding all I think about
Maybe it's how we go
Well, I can't get better I'm stoned
I won't be letting her out
And I can't keep dragging this down
So pretty, they've lost their worth
They keep me below
And I know I'm dead inside
I'm reminded every night
So close, just know it won't be me
One goal is destroying this moment
Open, and tell me everything that
I can't help but see
Contagious lies, they never leave
The goal in your and my eyes
The goal that you can't even see
Yeah, the goal I'm waking, waking up
Oh, your eyes, they glow
So pretty, they've lost their worth
They keep me below
And I know I'm dead inside
I'm reminded every night
So close, just know it won't be me
Baby we've come so close
It's never been enough to notice
Enough to notice how I am right
I'm close, but not getting up
You're close, but not getting up
I'm close, but not getting up, getting off
I'm not getting off
Oh, your eyes, they glow
So pretty, they've lost their worth
They keep me below
And I know I'm dead inside
I'm reminded every night
So close, just know it won't be me
The Emarosa song "Share The Sunshine Young Blood" is a melancholic and introspective piece that delves into the experience of going through the motions of life while feeling trapped in a cycle of self-destructive behavior. The lyrics describe how the singer is haunted by memories of the past and struggles to let go of them, all while being held back by the allure of a toxic relationship. The line "As little moments fade, they come forth at night demanding all I think about" highlights the theme of being stuck in the past and how it keeps coming back to haunt the singer.
The chorus speaks to the struggle of feeling disconnected from oneself and those around them, with the repeated line "And I know I'm dead inside, I'm reminded every night, so close just know it won't be me" conveying the sense of hopelessness and resignation that can come with that experience. The overall message seems to be a plea to break out of that cycle and to find a way to move forward, even if it means leaving certain people or memories behind.
Line by Line Meaning
As little moments fade
As time passes by and memories begin to disappear
They come forth at night
They resurface in the darkness when I'm left alone with my thoughts
Demanding all I think about
Forcing me to reflect on them and take up my mental space
Maybe it's how we go
Perhaps this is just how things are meant to be
Well, I can't get better I'm stoned
I'm feeling lost and incapable of improvement, stuck in my current state
I won't be letting her out
I won't let go of this person or situation that's holding me down
And I can't keep dragging this down
I'm recognizing that I'm not helping myself or the situation by remaining stagnant
Oh, your eyes, they glow
Your eyes are attractive and captivating
So pretty, they've lost their worth
Their beauty is which once would have been valuable to me, now has little worth
They keep me below
They make me feel lesser, inferior
And I know I'm dead inside
I'm aware that I'm lacking emotions or a spark in my life
I'm reminded every night
Every night it hits me anew what's missing in my life
So close, just know it won't be me
I'm almost there achieving my goals or being with you, but I know that won't be happening
One goal is destroying this moment
A singular objective is hindering this moment and preventing it from being perfect
Open, and tell me everything that
Be honest with me and share everything you're feeling
I can't help but see
I'm noticing the things unspoken or the hidden thoughts and expressions
Contagious lies, they never leave
A deceitful mentality that refuses to depart from the situation
The goal in your and my eyes
The desired outcome that we both envision
The goal that you can't even see
The objective that is blurred by confusion or other obstacles
Yeah, the goal I'm waking, waking up
The objective I'm realizing in this moment and that's making me come to terms with things
Baby we've come so close
We've been so near to achieving something important
It's never been enough to notice
But our progress is not significant enough to matter or be recognized
Enough to notice how I am right
Our accomplishments are not sufficient for me to feel good about myself and my situation
I'm close, but not getting up
I am close to getting out of my rut, but not quite there yet
You're close, but not getting up
You're also not on the verge of breaking free from your own constraints
I'm close, but not getting up, getting off
I'm almost free, but not quite breaking away completely
I'm not getting off
I'm still stuck where I am, unable to move forward

I'm pissed I'm just stumbling across this album at 32 years old. Somehow i never encountered these guys when this album released. I was knee deep in metal and hardcore at the time... but this is one of the most incredible albums I've ever heard. What a voice...

Tired yet? 😂 here I am still!!!!

i found this album in late 2010, while falling in love with someone - to this album, if that makes sense? you see, i'm always listening to music, and sometimes certain music captures time frames in my life because it's what surrounded me and gave me my perspective on things at the time. i burned bridges with the person i had fallen in love with, and always always regretted it. this song, this whole album means so much to me and is so emotional for me. the album encases the beginning, and end of the relationship i had with them.
i was so looking forward to their next album, when i found out in 2011 they had split ways with jonny. i was very disappointed to hear this at the time and for some time to come after i'd found out; but looking back now, in it's own strange way it has made this album even more special for me over the years, forever encasing its majesty. very dear and precious memories to my heart are kept very much alive in this album. thank you, emarosa.

it's so incredible how music can be a stamp of such significance. I know exactly what you mean. It's like a house for all of those feelings that you moved out of, but go back to visit from time.
