Her self-titled debut album was released on Friday, November 30, 2018, shortly following lead single "Romance," released the previous Tuesday.
Speaking about the new record, Elena said: “Although the record is written for someone, a lot of the time it’s about the space without that person in it. In every scenario, there’s either the person in memory or the noticeable absence of that person in the present moment. I suppose it is a break-up record, however I do not talk about the relationship at all, and he hardly features in the scenes. He is only felt as a ghostly presence.”

[Verse 1]
And in the night, it was a drunken stutter
Started as a next to nothing conversation
And then he's tearing me out
Taking me apart at my friend's house
I was uncomfortable, I was hurt
Still with blue innocence in his eyes
I felt my reasoning was harsh
[Verse 2]
With every stab wound and exhale, I promised myself
That I would never lose my youthful fears of grown up men
I'm scarred with cruel intentions
I thought of another the whole time
Who would have never stared me like that
See, he saw me as a human
This one thinks I'm a slaughterhouse
[Pre-Chorus]
He pretends that he's understanding
And you know in the grand scheme of everything
He's probably called a nice man
Or an ordinary kind of man
Or a stereotype with strong hands, I'm so sad
At how little joy I realized within my time with my ex guy
Before these statues arrived
[Chorus]
Romance is dead and done
And it hits between the eyes on this side
The grass is dead and barren
And it hurts between my thighs on this side
[Verse 3]
I could begin to open up and risk desire
For I move slower and quieter than most
I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow
Oh, I wish there was another way
[Chorus]
Romance is dead and done
And it hits between the eyes on this side
The grass is dead and barren
And it hurts between my thighs on this side
[Bridge]
See me here, meet me here
I don't care if it's not repeated
I want to know who you are
For every second we outrun the moon, dread the sun come up
I want to know who you are
So I don't have to check my stuff's still here when you're gone
I want to know who you are
I want to know who you were
[Chorus]
Romance is dead and done
And it hits between the eyes on this side
The grass is dead and barren
And it hurts between my thighs on this side
[Outro]
This side
This side
This side
This side

As a male this song hits me from multiple directions…
My first relationship was 6 years long. Both each others first everything. Met at 16. But, her family was full of alcoholics, I hated booze and drugs. By the time I proposed, she decided she wanted to go live life. Which killed me… until I joined the club.
I suddenly realized I was attractive after the years of hearing I was ugly. Eventually started drinking when I joined a band and played shows. That led to the obvious “sex and drugs” part of playing shows.
Which leads me to why these lyrics hit in many ways. My ex ended up becoming well known in town and it wasn’t a good reputation. She did many things she still can’t forgive herself for because she was just living in a blur with one “statue” after another… I feel like if I had been open to her drinking and if we went out that may not have happened, but her family is Irish and none of them can just have 1 drink… so idk honestly. I feel bad either way…
As for me, I ended up somehow getting myself into a position not only once but twice where unknown to me, a female decided to put something in my drink and another time actually was very random. Girl squirting a water gun saying it’s vodka and there was actually a mix of drugs in it from what I heard.
Both these times I was walked/pushed into a car or room and “r worded” while unable to physically get them off me. Having to see and hear very distorted altered reality and I swear I’ll never forget the things they said… “and it hurts between the eyes on this side…”
Eventually I was able to get a couple people to believe me and one was my manager who decided he was gonna keep an eye on me after that and if I wasn’t sober enough to write a sentence we agreed on, he would politely separate me and the females. He also got me into rehab a year later when the band split up and I owe him so much for both of those things.
Anyways, this song hits hard. Both me and my ex ended up having horrible things happen to us while trying to forget about how much we still loved each other. We’re good friends now. Both have kids. Both sober. But, yeah… this songs always gonna hit hard.

Its crazy watching her sing this song. She’s not even present, she’s not in that room. She’s miles away in the exact moment she wrote this song about. I’ve never heard such a clear and pinpoint description of an event so much so I can see it. Unbelievable.
@aspacelex
Can't imagine the strength it takes to perform this song routinely.
@visceralmaneuvers7664
Exactly what I was thinking too!
@connorblake7487
"I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow." what a fucking laser banger of an emotional gut-punch one-liner.
@WildYouthSubs
