Ainsworth has been secretly writing and recording songs from bedrooms and basements between Toronto and Brooklyn, New York. What began as pass-time sketches between composing music for film and multimedia projects has over time revealed an enchanting collection of experimental pop songs with a life of their own.
Blurring the boundaries between indie music, filmic orchestration, and electronic music, Lydia’s debut ‘Right From Real’ thrives on haunting melodies and draws inspiration from a wide range of musical sources: Verdi’s Requiem, Ace of Base, Bulgarian choirs, Bernard Herrmann, Tones on Tail, Art of Noise, to name a few. This sense of unexpected marriages of influence flows throughout much of Lydia’s previous work which features use of voice sampling and string arrangements woven into a unique minimalist fabric.
Hologram
Lydia Ainsworth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
familiar feeling in this place alone
And now I know what's coming
I know what's coming, the faces are turning blue
Meet up by the bed you made
Time and times you slip away
Fear just disappear
One hologram ends another begins
Everything, all I once loved
Just as always and always will be
Merry come as black as others
Feel the end, night
Until the guardian of thunder seem to
I found peace in dreaming of you and all the things we do
All that I never know this is forever dead
Into the garden I'll find my center
I found peace in dreaming of you and all the things we do
Do you ever thought of
Come to the garden
Into the garden
This is forever dead
We're all by the bed you made
Time and times you slip away
Fear just disappear
One hologram ends another begins
One hologram ends another begins
Lydia Ainsworth's song "Hologram" is a hauntingly beautiful track that explores themes of loneliness, loss, and the search for inner peace. The opening lines, "Oh this familiar feeling, familiar feeling in this place alone," immediately set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is describing a sense of deja vu, a feeling of being trapped in a cycle of loneliness and isolation. As the song progresses, the lyrics become even more surreal, with the "faces turning blue" and the repeated refrain of "one hologram ends another begins."
It's unclear exactly what the singer is referring to when she talks about "holograms," but it seems to be a metaphor for the fleeting, insubstantial nature of human connections. In a world where everyone is constantly projecting an image of themselves through social media and other forms of digital communication, it can be difficult to distinguish what is real from what is fake. The repeated refrain of "one hologram ends another begins" suggests a cycle of superficial relationships and temporary connections that never quite satisfy the singer's desire for something deeper and more meaningful.
Ultimately, the song ends on a note of tentative hope, with the singer finding peace in her dreams and searching for her center in the garden. It's a reminder that even in the midst of our isolation and loneliness, there is always the possibility of finding connection and meaning in the world around us.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh this familiar feeling
I am experiencing a feeling that I have felt before
familiar feeling in this place alone
I feel the same feeling when I am alone in this place
And now I know what's coming
I am aware of what will happen next
I know what's coming, the faces are turning blue
I know that something bad is going to happen, and everyone's faces are showing their fear
Meet up by the bed you made
Let's come together by the bed that you have created
Time and times you slip away
You keep disappearing, over and over again
Fear just disappear
My fear has vanished
One hologram ends another begins
One illusion fades away while another comes into existence
One hologram ends another begins
One illusion fades away while another comes into existence
Everything, all I once loved
Everything and everyone that I used to love
Just as always and always will be
They will always be the same as they have been
Merry come as black as others
Happy moments can be just as dark as sad ones
Feel the end, night
Sense that the end is near, it is nighttime
Until the guardian of thunder seem to
Until the person or thing that holds power over thunder shows up
I found peace in dreaming of you and all the things we do
I am at peace when I dream of you and the activities we do together
All that I never know this is forever dead
Everything that I never knew is gone forever
Into the garden I'll find my center
I will find my balance and peace in the garden
Do you ever thought of
Have you ever considered
Come to the garden
Come and join me in the garden
Into the garden
Let's go to the garden
This is forever dead
This thing is permanently gone
We're all by the bed you made
We are all gathered around the bed that you created
Time and times you slip away
You keep disappearing, over and over again
Fear just disappear
My fear has vanished
One hologram ends another begins
One illusion fades away while another comes into existence
One hologram ends another begins
One illusion fades away while another comes into existence
