Stepping from the early gothic rock-influenced successful releases, the band slowly transitioned into alternative rock, embracing rawer thematics and a more straightforward style.
Their current aesthetic pivots on a genuine alternative rock/post-grunge, embellished with dynamics and variety, while exposing a certain degree of vulnerability and criticism against society in lyrics.
Revenge
Onyria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will fight until the silence disappears
My voice you will fear
And all the rage, in my heart
At that point will explode
Maybe nothing, will change
And the worst still remains
But I run against the wind
Asking for my dreams, hoping that your night
Are sleepless
Your days are meaningless, your life like a real nightmare
[Verse 2]
You taught me another way to hurt
But without violence, disillusion burns more
And you know what I mean, that your businness
Is to sell a dream and fake realities
Stripping out the dignity
I don't care about your will
Maybe nothing, will change
And the worst still remains
[Chorus]
But I run against the wind
Asking for my dreams, hoping that your night
Are sleepless
Your days are meaningless, your life like a real nightmare
[Bridge]
So, I don't think I'm too mean
If I take pleasure in your grief
Because the only thing I need
Is to feel mysel redeemed
Once for all
[Chorus]
But I run against the wind
Asking for my dreams, hoping that your night
Are sleepless
Your days are meaningless, your life like a real nightmare
The lyrics to Onyria's song "Revenge" convey a powerful message of defiance and empowerment. In the first verse, the singer declares her determination to keep fighting until her voice is heard and the silence is broken. She speaks of the rage in her heart, and how it will eventually explode, despite the possibility that nothing may change and the worst may still remain. The chorus speaks of how the singer refuses to give up, as she runs against the wind, asking for her dreams and hoping that her oppressor's nights are sleepless, and their days are meaningless.
In the second verse, the singer addresses her oppressor directly, and speaks of how they have taught her another way to hurt, one that goes beyond mere physical violence. She accuses her oppressor of selling a dream and fake realities, and stripping people of their dignity. She declares that she doesn't care about her oppressor's will, and that even if nothing changes and the worst still remains, she will keep fighting. The bridge is particularly poignant, as the singer takes pleasure in her oppressor's pain, and announces that her only goal is to feel redeemed, once and for all.
The song showcases the singer's defiance, and how she refuses to be silenced by her oppressor. She recognizes the power of her own voice, and her rage, and how these can be used to fight against oppression. The message of the song is one of hope, as the singer refuses to give up, and continues to fight for her dreams, even in the face of adversity.

I will fight until the silence disappears
I will persevere until the quiet is replaced with my voice
My voice you will fear
You will be intimidated by the power of my words
And all the rage, in my heart
My anger fuels me
At that point will explode
It will burst forth like an unstoppable force
Maybe nothing, will change
Even if my efforts are futile
And the worst still remains
The situation remains dire
But I run against the wind
I fight with all my might, even against the odds
Asking for my dreams, hoping that your night
I pursue my aspirations and dream of your downfall
Are sleepless
You are tormented by guilt and regret
Your days are meaningless, your life like a real nightmare
Your existence is empty and nightmarish
You taught me another way to hurt
Your cruel actions have shown me a new method of causing harm
But without violence, disillusion burns more
Non-physical pain hurts deeper and causes greater disillusionment
And you know what I mean, that your businness
You are aware that your actions are profitable but unethical
Is to sell a dream and fake realities
You sell illusions and fabricate falsehoods
Stripping out the dignity
You rob people of their basic respect and self-worth
I don't care about your will
I disregard your intentions and desires
So, I don't think I'm too mean
I'm not excessively cruel
If I take pleasure in your grief
Your misfortune brings me joy
Because the only thing I need
All I require
Is to feel mysel redeemed
Is to sense my own redemption
Once for all
Once and for all

I just discovered this band, I'm usually into the more extreme side of metal but this really caught my attention. Awesome music, Helena has got a really impressive vocal range. Keep it up!!!!
Onyria
+Nolan Void Thanks Nolan! We can get pretty metal (check out "My addiction" from our album), but we have a more melodic approach
Thanks for the feedback!
Nolan Void
+Onyria I don't doubt that you can get pretty metal and I don't mind melodic at all. I also appreciate your band for your musical skills. Definitely a fan.
