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 ↴
I can't even tell you where I am right now
'Cause I don't feel light and she don't feel right
We shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be here we are
And I've already changed my face to show that I'm okay
But I'm stuck set and saying we can try it again,
you've got your hurt in your hands - I am giving in
maybe that's the reason I've been feeling out loud
And it all comes to how we lost you,
I think we'll meet again, I'm sure
And it all comes down without you.
I think we'll meet again, I'm sure
I'm cold and take an emotion, put it away
And I can't even tell you how I feel right now
Cause I don't see light and I don't feel right
We shouldn't be, shouldn't be, shouldn't be here we are
And I wanted to change your name and she could have the same
But I'm stuck set and saying we can try it again,
you've got your hurt in your hands - I am giving in
You want to talk about,
maybe that's the reason I've been feeling out loud
And it all comes to how we lost you,
I think we'll meet again, I'm sure
And it all comes down without you.
I think we'll meet again, I'm sure
Now I remember the word of the lullaby prayer
I wanted to sing to you
Now I remember the way that I buckled
Under the weight of a black balloon
And it all comes to we lost you,
I think we'll meet again, I'm sure
And it all comes down without you.
I think we'll meet again, I'm sure
The lyrics to Emarosa's "Sure" explore the complex emotions and conflicting feelings that arise after a romantic relationship has ended. The singer is struggling to process their feelings, seemingly trying to suppress their emotions by putting them away or changing their behavior to seem fine. However, they can't deny the pain they feel, indicating that things are not right with their current situation. The line "I don't feel light and she don't feel right" seems to suggest that both people in the relationship are unhappy, yet they continue to stay together. The repetition of "we shouldn't be here we are" implies a sense of regret or uncertainty about the current situation.
The singer then begins to reflect on the past and their shared experiences - "how we lost you" - and wonders if they will meet again. The repetition of "I'm sure" in the chorus could indicate the singer's desire for closure and optimism for the future. The final verse introduces imagery, with the "lullaby prayer" and "black balloon" possibly symbolizing the comfort and joy that the relationship once provided, as well as the heaviness and sadness that come with its ending.
Overall, "Sure" is a poignant exploration of the complicated emotions and conflicting desires that arise after a romantic relationship comes to an end. The singer grapples with sadness, regret, uncertainty, and ultimately a sense of hope for the future.

@skywalkerdavid1587
This song is just perfect from the start to the last second. The instruments, vocals, lyrics, just wow, one of my favorite Emarosa songs
@romanofalwaysnotforever3535
Truth spoken.
@jakekayfes1662
finding out that this song was written about how his wife had a miscarriage changes the entire meaning of the song. the chorus is singing to the child he lost, saying that they're gonna meet later on
@danielwinters8545
Jake Kayfes so beautiful isn’t it, so sad yet such a beautiful song to help so many came from pain and tragedy.
@kbarriosrox
When I heard this I knew 100 percent that was the message in the song but now watching the video I was confused until you wrote that. Good video and their expression throughout the video was perfect.
@stoneysweat3920

@idolyce_sama
