Envy Of None is the new band formed by Alex Lifeson (Rush), Andy Curran (Coney Hatch), Alfio Annabalini, and singer Maiah Wynne. The ambient, cinematic darkness that the collective creates evokes a powerful atmosphere that will excite superfans and new audiences alike. Lifeson and Curran’s longtime friendship was the catalyst for the bands inception - but Envy Of None is not defined by its members resumes - they aren’t Rush or Coney Hatch and far more than the sum of its collective parts. Above the beautiful cacophony of guitars, synths, bass and drums sits the fragile melodies of 24-year old vocalist Maiah Wynne - the newest name in Envy Of None’s impressive personnel. Hearing Mariah’s voice intertwined with the music will bring back memories of when you heard Shirley Manson of Garbage or Amy Lee of Evanescence for the first time. Wynne brings charm and beauty to these recordings in spades - with floating hooks and emotive lyrics transcending the oftentimes textural aesthetic.

Envy Of None Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When your eyes meet mine
Your black heart left open
And there's nothing inside
Oooh
You let your darkness show
And now I know that everything you said was just a lie
You're a liar
Your sharpness is cutting
And you're cold as ice
Oooh
You let your darkness show
And now I know that everything you said was just a lie
You're a liar
You say that you can see the light
But you
You speak with your eyes closed
My heart can see through the lies
You know
My instinct will always know
I'll always know
You're a liar
Now I know I can't trust you
Now I know that everything you said was just a lie
You're a liar

Line by Line Meaning
The world starts burning
As soon as I make eye contact with you, I sense something sinister happening around me
When your eyes meet mine
Our gaze locks, and it seems like you want to hurt me
Your black heart left open
I can sense that you're an evil person by the way you conduct yourself
And there's nothing inside
You're empty inside and lack empathy for others
You let your darkness show
You're not hiding your evil intentions and behaviors from me anymore
And now I know that everything you said was just a lie
Your words are not trustworthy and you are not an honest person
You're a liar
You habitually deceive people to fulfill your sinister motives
Your sharpness is cutting
Your sharp tongue hurts and makes me uncomfortable
And you're cold as ice
You're emotionally disconnected from others and show no compassion
You say that you can see the light
You claim to be enlightened, but I doubt your sincerity
But you
However, your actions prove otherwise
You speak with your eyes closed
You're not truly listening or understanding what others are saying to you
My heart can see through the lies
My intuition and emotions tell me that you're lying to me
You know
Deep down, you're aware of your deception and how others perceive you
My instinct will always know
I trust my instincts and can always tell when someone is lying to me
Now I know I can't trust you
I've realized that there's no reason to trust you, so I won't
Now I know that everything you said was just a lie
You've proven through your actions that you are deceitful and untruthful
You're a liar
You have a habit of deceiving people, and I don't believe anything you say
