The band’s debut EP, “Perfect Anomaly”, was released digitally worldwide at May 25th 2012, instantly climbing to the top of iTunes Sweden and charting in at #12 in All Albums and #5 in Rock.

A music video for the track “Until We’re Dead” was released at September 22nd, hitting 7,000 views after only a single week on YouTube.
The single "My Reality" saw the light of day at June 1st 2013 along with a music video directed by 11frames. It reached 12,000 views in less than a week on YouTube and charted well in Sweden: #57 on Digilistan and #3 on iTunes Rock. The band also played at Sweden Rock Festival, one of the world's biggest rock/metal festivals, for their most notable show so far.
The single "Final Destination" was released at October 25th 2013 and also managed to chart in at #3 on iTunes Rock, marking the third release in a row that charts in at iTunes top 5.
An album entitled "RE:Anomaly", which compiles all of the band's releases so far on one disc, was made available from the band's webshop starting December 10th 2013.

My Reality
Overworld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wandering in darkness
Crossing the boundaries of make believe
Won't you come inside all my dreams?
For I have my own reality
Things you have never seen
Every night I end up in a dreamland
And every night it's all too real
(Is it all inside my head?)
What if it all turned out to be a dream?
For once in a while, yeah
I can't, I can't
Escape this feeling
Your fantasy is my reality
Just once in my life, yeah
I won't, I won't
Wake up from dreaming on
Leaping back through time
Back to when it started
My world has turned into another story
Hey you, are you scared of the dark?
Or the madness inside your heart?
Can you imagine it?
Once upon a time we had each other
(Who said it's all supposed to end?)
Tonight it's real enough for me
(Make believe)
What if it all turned out to be a dream?
For once in a while, yeah
I can't, I can't
Escape this feeling
Your fantasy is my reality
Just once in my life, yeah
I won't, I won't
Wake up from dreaming on
What if it all turned out to be a dream?
For once in a while, yeah
I can't, I can't
Escape this feeling
Your fantasy is my reality
Just once in my life, yeah
I won't, I won't
Wake up from dreaming on
In the song "My Reality" by Overworld, the singer discusses their experiences with living in a different reality than what others see. They wander in the darkness and cross the boundaries of make-believe to enter their own version of reality. The singer invites others to come inside all their dreams to see the things that they have never seen before. These dreams are so vivid that the singer questions what is real and what is not. They wonder if it is all inside their head, or if it could turn out to be a dream. The singer acknowledges that their reality may be a fantasy to others but it is real for them. They aren't looking to escape this feeling, instead they embrace it.
The second verse picks up by talking about how this different reality started. The singer wants to go back to the beginning when their world turned into another story. They question if others are afraid of the darkness or the madness inside their heart, and if they can imagine a different reality. The singer remembers a time when they had each other and questions why it is supposed to end. They end the song by embracing their reality and not wanting to wake up from dreaming on.
Overall, the song is about embracing your own reality and not letting others' opinions sway your beliefs. It's about being comfortable in your own skin and accepting that your reality may not be the same as others.

Do you fear the unknown and the mysterious elements of my reality?

Could you be afraid of your own emotions and inner desires?
Can you imagine it?
Can you even fathom the depths of my reality and the imaginative world I have created?
(Who said it's all supposed to end?)
I refuse to believe that my reality is temporary or fleeting.
Tonight it's real enough for me
In this moment, my reality is incredibly tangible and vivid to me.
(Make believe)
Although others may consider it to be just a product of my imagination, I see it as a very real place.
