They were first formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 2007 by guitarists Austin Dore and Josh Peltier, bassist Luke Burleigh, and drummer Sam Albarado. Their sound on their first two releases are more of a creative ambient post-hardcore sound. The band members began making a name for themselves in their hometown and found a loyal audience in Lafayette, Louisiana, but their fortunes took a major turn in 2010 when they relocated to Houston, Texas and added dueling vocalists Michael Swank (clean vocals) and John Ritter (screaming). As the alternating vocals gave Myka, Relocate a singular sound and guitarist Dore began adding electronics to the group's aural palette, their following grew, aided by extensive touring. In 2013, Sam Albarado left Myka, Relocate, and Aaron Robertson became the band's new drummer; that same year, the band signed a record deal with Artery Recordings, distributed by the well-established indie label Razor & Tie, and went into the studio with producer Cameron Mizell behind the controls. Myka, Relocate's debut album, Lies to Light the Way, was released in October 2013. The group toured extensively in support, and in 2015 they returned to the recording studio to begin work on their second album. In October 2015, the completed album, The Young Souls, was released. The band ended in the fall of 2020.

The Inevitable
Myka Relocate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been in this place for too long
and now I think im ready for me to move on.
All my patience is dead and gone.
It wouldn't make a difference if I was wrong.
Why do I fight? Why do I care?
What should I do to prove to you that my hearts even there?
Believe me, believe me.
Believe me when I say,
that my thoughts they aren't gonna change.
like this could turn out any other way.
This would happen eventually.
My thoughts will never change.

Please save me.
I'm so tired of trying to see fake remarks, fake sympathy.
I never wanted it to be this way, not this way.
I only wish that I could walk away.
I never wanted it to be this way,
I only wish that I could walk away.
This is not how it's supposed to be.
Just for once open your eyes to see.
You've been in this place for too long.
Now I think it's time for you to move on.
Believe me, believe me.

Believe me When I say,
that my thoughts they aren't gonna change.
Like this could turn out any other way.
This would happen eventually.
My thoughts will never change.

Believe me when I say
that my thoughts will not change.

Believe me when I say.
that my thoughts they aren't gonna change
Like this could turn out any other way.
This would happen eventually.
Believe me when I say,
that my thoughts, they aren't gonna change.




Like this could turn out any other way.
cause my thoughts, they aren't gonna change.

MotleyDeflep6

Best song on the album.

Chelsea Ocel

Yeah, Myka! Love you guys! Way to represent Houston :)

Nick Roy

Artery Recording are probably so thankful that they have these guys.

Kolby Carignan

Memphis and Romans had a baby!!!!!! Hell fucking Yes! These guys are the next big thing..

Caro Taylor

Love that key change right at the end

I can kind of understand that a band could sound similar to another but if it sounds similar to another that i like then i'm going to like it not forget it. A good band doesn't need to "stand out" in my opinion. If i can jam out to a band then obviously they are doing something right.

i keep gettin banned

whats funny is this band always stood out to me more than Romans or any other popular band at the time. i didnt like anyone but Myka
